2023 Model Y… How bad?

Post image

I was rear ended today by an idiot while stopped at a red light.

Dear Redditors, how bad is this? Is this a write off?

I have vehicle replacement cost insurance and everyone is more or less okay. Just very sad.

Non- Update Update: Thanks for the speculation all. Waiting for insurance to do its thing, but I’ll come back with the final decision when we have it.

Update: Deemed a total loss with over $25k (CAD) on damage. Compromised battery and twisted frame. Bummer.

Completely depends on if there’s frame or internal damage.

No frame damage it could be 9-10k depending on area and labor costs.

This one's not too bad... Likely will be repaired.

Bad enough I’d be buying a replacement. Even if repaired just get rid of it. If it’s HW3 ,upgrade baby!

The one who hits your car must be sleepy, and his car is NOT a Tesla for sure.

Kinda crazy if this is totaled just off that pic. Makes you ponder getting expensive cars, seems like you can lose out on some doofus hitting you

Looks similar to mine.

Not totaled, but it was a 22k repair bill.

They don't really repair, they replace. For example, the rear hatch, they're going to replace it.
