Yea I’m wondering if they’ll try to avoid totaling it because I think the charge port works. I haven’t tried it though. I’m hoping the broken glass is enough especially with the interior photo. Almost made it to her first birthday

Damn Glendale, California strikes again. I recognize that street. The medium size city has the most traffic incidents in California. My insurance skyrocketed when I Moved to the city. hopefully you are all okay.

Don't try it, the charge door... You don't know what damage is underneath. Many times I've read on here of cars not being totaled only to find battery damage later during repair.

It is better to total the car instead of repairing it. Tesla sucks at parts; most collision repair takes up to 6 months. My car was hired by another driver on 7/1 and the car still waiting for some parts. It sucks.

Yes, I’d total it, if you don’t, make sure the Tesla Authorized Collision Center completes an inspection on your main battery before you allow them to work on the car. Tesla Service Centers policy is not to work with insurance companies stated by Qais, representative at Rancho Cucamonga, CA Tesla Service Center. My 2012 Model S was T-boned back in Dec of 2021, went to Tesla Auth Collision Center Jan 2022, I got my car Sept 2022, within 24 hours the main battery died. Tesla Mobile mechanic and the service center all agree there is damage to battery in the area the vehicle was hit, but due to Tesla’s policy not to work with insurance companies, they also refuse to provide any proof or report of why the battery failed, leaving me with a $14k battery bill.
