Is this totaled? 2019 Tesla Model 3

[beezo995]

Was rear ended at a stop light by a car going 45+mph. Car shut down with errors of battery not supporting all features and could not start so had to tow where it sat. Will this be a total loss or repairable by insurance?

Airbags deploy?
Fluid leaking from the battery?
Wrinkles forward of the tail lights?

If your answers are no, so is mine.

Hope all are okay,

Highly unlikely, but the only opinion that matters is that of your insurance adjuster's.

yes it is totaled, I can definitely tell from those pics alone. repair cost is going to be exactly $43,244.

We're patiently waiting for what your insurance company says.

Totalled, maybe that's why insurance costs have more than doubled lately, because of catastrophic costs due to battery damage.

In your second pic, the gap between the drivers side rear quarter panel and the rear passenger door looks out of alignment; if that’s not how the car was before, I’d guess the impact caused a lot of damage.

My 2019 LR damage looked similar, battery also disconnected itself and needed tow. Battery ended up fine, but between the new parts, new drivers safety harness, paint, etc... $19,000 in damage and my insurance totaled it. This was just a month ago. Car did have high-ish mileage (82K).

If you don’t mind me asking, what was your total loss payout?

We're still discussing that... it's been a long process. Shoot I waited almost two weeks just for the estimate and the other party has still not talked to their insurance (though they finally just took responsibility on his behalf). Wild times! I guess the closer we get to June the easier it will be to wait and hope for some end of quarter discounts. ha!
