Totalled my S today....so I confirmed my Model 3 First Production order

[AlanSqB]

Kind of surprised they haven’t gotten you totaled out yet. I would think any appraiser would be able to call it based on pictures alone. Hope they don’t give you a runaround. Be sure they know there are hundreds of Tesla buyers watching your story waiting to see how it turns out.

So being a Model S owner bumped you up literately to the front of the line? I'm asking because we are thinking of adding a 3 to our family, and I assumed it would put me somewhere in the middle of the pack. I would have thought the list of S/X owners buying 3s to be much longer.

I reserved one during the reveal, then bought my S last December. Since I live in CA, I was already close to the front of the line.

They needed to tow it to their lot, and with Christmas coming up, it’s all getting delayed a bit. I probably won’t hear anything new until Tuesday.

mod note: a bunch of posts about driving without insurance in California and about the interactive dynamics of EAB and AP have been moved to their own threads.

Glad you are ok. You have such a great attitude as others have said. Good luck with the Model 3.

QUESTION: Did your S send out an audible alert, or brake or swerve on it's own? Did you have the Collision warning on and set to what sensitivity?

QUESTION 2: Were you on auto steer? I'll admit I tend to not watch as closely as I should when I use it on a divided highway. Hopefully I would have seen this guy coming on a 2-Lane road!!

But Maybe not!! Thanks for the reminder.

None of the above. My P85 was a 2013 and had no AP or any collision avoidance systems.

Disappointed the other driver survived.

No willingness admit people make mistakes?

Had they died, then no chance for that person to have frequent nightmares and remorse and chances to amend the behavior that lead to the accident. No chance to mentor others in the future to avoid the same mistake.

Not to mention the emotional baggage it may have placed on az_rael if the other had died. When AZ has his own dreams he will be able to wake from them knowing that the split second action he took saved a life rather than being involved in taking one.

I am glad everyone walked away. That video is scary enough.

+1 with the 3. I got my vin 238X and it is ready but out of town.

You do realize that "Delivery in 3 weeks" in your signature doesn't dynamically update. 3 weeks from when?

 

[MorrisonHiker]

Thank you . How did you install it?

 

[BLKMDL3]

Lol. Kept forgetting to update.

Watched the video and skipped the 8 pages of comments. So glad you are OK and very impressed with your reaction and glad you and the other driver are OK. It didn't look like he was trying to avoid you. I think your reaction saved lives.
Painful to see the S and hopeful you get your 3 any day now.

the guy with the movie and AP

Please stop spreading that falsehood

We can say conclusively that he was NOT watching a movie.

The hard drive was removed from the laptop and was imaged using forensic software. The image of the hard drive was reviewed. The most recent accessed, modified, and created files were from April 6, 2016. The screen of the laptop was broken so the clock drift of the laptop could not be determined. Without the offset of the laptop clock to real time, it could not be concluded whether or not the driver was on the laptop at the time of the crash. No Harry Potter movie file was found on the hard drive of the device

The micro SD memory card contained photos and music files. The photos were not pertinent to the investigation and the music included parts of the Harry Potter movies’ soundtracks.

So no proof of a Harry Potter DVD or movie file was documented. No authority in the case has said he was watching a movie. I think we can safely say he wasn't watching a movie.

After months of people saying he was watching a DVD it should be repeated loud and clear that there was no DVD player or DVD media in the car.

The report found a laptop, a chromebook, and some SD cards. None of which had a movie on them.

Wow


Glad you're okay but I'm really saying Wow because just by watching that, in my opinion, that could have been avoided, I would have went left.
