I'm feeling pretty bumbed out that my 2020 Tesla Model 3 with only around 5k miles was involved in an accident this past Sunday. Some lady driving a Honda CRV failed to yield while making a left turn and crashed into the left side of my model 3. This is the first car accident I have been involved in so it felt like everything happend so quick. I did not even get a chance to speak with the other party because local PD arrived so quick and separated both parties.
The messed up part is it was my son's birthday that day and we were on our way to pick up his presents for him. However, I'm just glad my family came out with just minor pain and aches only from the accident.
I'm not looking forward in dealing with either insurance even though the accident wasn't our fault. I was reading past forums and people mentioned Dimished Value and it would be great if anyone can refer me to an appraiser in the Sacramento, Ca area. If the car was repaired the value wouldn't be the same anymore with the accident on the title.
