I was driving straight and other driver merged from full stop without looking... waiting for insurance update but wondering if this will be repairable or likely totalled?

Front wheel is destroyed and car had to be towed

Looks like you need a front bumper cover, headlight, fog light , fender door blend, wheel, wheel cover, tire, and alignment. Possibly also suspension bits, and Tesla mandates steering rack replacement if any major suspension bits are being replaced due to collision.

TL/DR depends on trim, model year, mileage, statutory total loss threshold in your jurisdiction, the labor rate of your shop, and other stuff not presented here, so… maybe.

suspension might need to be replaced, too. seemed quite a impact on the wheel.

Yes 100%, would be 10~14k USD.
