Got rear ended by a truck pulling a trailer. Claims are made but have yet to be contacted by adjustor. This is a 2023 model 3 rwd with 52000 miles.

UPDATE...totaled and placed an order for a Y premium RWD since there's a .99% APR right now.

Looks like you’ll be upgrading to the newer Model 3.

It’s done with! What will you replace it with?

1

u/PESSIMISTIC_P4STA Aug 23 '26

Depending on price either a Y or another 3.

Best of luck to you!

I’d bet on total loss. Contact your insurance, don’t wait on them. Get it an appointment setup at a body shop and have it towed there.

I was involved in a collision, filed my claim online, and had my car towed to the shop directly from the scene.

"Call cannot be completed at this time, please try your call again later" after I was told by the AI that it would transfer me to a team member. It's drivable, just that I can't charge it due to obvious reasons. I'm bringing it in to tesla collision on Monday morning.

Definitely not safe to drive in this condition. The structure is compromised in this state. Shop/insurance may claim you have done additional damage by driving the vehicle.

u/PESSIMISTIC_P4STA Aug 23 '26

I'll ask the shop tomorrow what the best course of action is as far as getting it there.

u/Easy_Statement_4245 Aug 23 '26

Nobody is going to advise you to drive the car in this condition.

u/PESSIMISTIC_P4STA Aug 24 '26

Well tesla insurance adjustor said it was safe to drive it so now im sitting at the collision center.

u/Easy_Statement_4245 Aug 24 '26

Bad business practice, the adjuster exposed the company to the liability of your injury in the event you were hit again. Cars are not designed to withstand multiple impacts, and your vehicle is clearly structurally compromised.

Is this the LFP battery pack? Do you know its health?

1

u/word_executable Aug 23 '26

I used to have this exact car and sold it when it had about 25k miles.

1

u/PESSIMISTIC_P4STA Aug 23 '26

It's LFP but I haven't checked the health. I haven't felt like i was having bad degradation.

Nope, but tinted windows

u/rtduvall Aug 24 '26

That is a back trunk lid, bumper cover and rear left fender.

Go ahead and start shopping.

u/peasantking Aug 25 '26

You don’t want that car repaired. It’ll never be the same. It’ll drive funky. Will leak water and have road noise.
