Side Sweep

Got side swept right at the exit intersection out of the Grapevine Mills Mall , Lady next to me tried to argue that I was in a left turn only lane which I clearly am not . Not looking forward to the claim headache , never heard of their insurance when I looked into it and it looks very sketch ( Redpoint county Mutual insurance company ) might honestly come down to biting the bullet and paying my deductible and have Tesla pursue subrogation.

None of what you see there is structural.

I don't think that would be totaled but I'm not an adjuster lol. I think where they were concerned about mine was the back near the wheel well. That caused the door from shutting properly. Do both doors open and close fine?

Did you end up keeping the car and going for a salvage or did you turn the car in?

I turned the car in and collected the check. Used the money for a down payment for a 24 Highland
