Will it buff out?

[Mr.Robot.]

Rear ended at a stoplight, looks like the storage bin is crumped in. Bumper and trunk are pretty messed up, but the seatbelts didnt lock and I was able to drive it off the road.
2018 LR RWD, am i looking at it being totaled?

How are the rear quarter panels?

bumper, storage, and trunk lid are easy imho.

No damage to the quarter panels I could see, the bumper was pulled out after it moved off her car. Was a squre hit to the back of the car

Friend of mine has their performance 3 hit in a similar way. It was repaired and he was happy with the results. It’s really going to depend what they find peeling back the layers.

I just had a rear end collision on my SR+. Only rear bumper was damaged though. Replaced bumper cover, crash bar, fascia piece underneath, and 1 ultrasonic sensor. Total $2K in damage. Was out of my car only 13 days. I was expecting longer based on what I had heard about lead time on replacement Tesla parts.

You will have all of the same damages in addition to the trunk lid and underfloor trunk well so not sure how much that adds. Going to ballpark $5 - 6K to repair?

Ah... no, it will not.

What kind of vehicle did you get hit by?

 

[Mr.Robot.]

Ah... no, it will not.

A 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, her car looks a lot worse than mine.

It’s at a body shop now, for sure 2 sensors I saw popped out. Not sure how much the underfloor trunk costs but looking under it it looked crunched in half.

I'm guessing $10Kish at good body shop. New trunk, new bumper, crash bar, storage area repair and sensors. This is assuming no frame damage.

No one wants to talk about how many rocks and dirt are on the underbody cover? Jeezus I didn’t realize it was that bad, thought it was just the one you tuber video…

No one is worried about it, we need more weight for better traction on launches.

RWD LR needs the boost

I park on a gravel parking lot at work, that probably doesn't help. Pretty sure DirtyTesla is just south of me, but in the states.

That’s like less than half of what it was before I drove it out of the intersection.

My dad told me that a little elbow grease goes a long way.

Quote came back as $20k

Assuming you are quoting CAD$, then that's about US$16,000. I'm guessing it's not enough to be declared a total loss.

quite a bit more than I would expect... no longer curious why all of our insurance companies are jacking up the rates.

Welp, my guess was way off. Good luck with your repairs.

It's CAD yeah, not sure if they'll total it out or not, still waiting to hear back on insurance.

Probably either pushed out or pulled in the rear quarter panels.

why is insurance so expensive? Everyone demands (not surprising) a perfect repair. That cuts out all the bent metal and welds in new pieces. If you wreck your own car and ask a body shop to fix it without insurance you can get a much lower price (and yes, perhaps not as good of a repair).
