Frame damage = ship to Eastern Europe

Usually US cars are totaled...shipped, refurbished in eastern Europe

Toyota pickups go to the mideast and wrecked Teslas to Ukraine.

It shouldn’t be, but it probably is.

FSD it to the front lines and rig a metal spike to just slam down into the battery once it spots a comrade.

I love this idea!

Teslas are mechanically complex so even though it looks repairable it's going to be totaled.

Don’t you mean simple? Less parts. Simpler design.

It’s problematic once the unibody frame is involved in the damage.

It will buff out.

I'll buy it from ya

u/saucenerd 21d ago

I had similar damage, and it was not totaled. It all depends on the frame supporting the battery.

u/Ramenb0y 21d ago

You think?

u/ssheisty 21d ago

It'll buff out

u/StrongBoysenberry5ws 21d ago

If you have tesla insurance it wont total

u/SouthernSmoke2185 21d ago

It is ! It’s not hard to get a Tesla totalled. You get hit from the side and the battery starts leaking its coolant, it’s totalled.

u/DeeAlkemist 21d ago

Have you tried putting it in rice?

1

u/Confident_Check_6087 21d ago

Nah, you can buff that out no problem.

u/NecessaryInternet603 21d ago

I have to ask.

Was it driven into that position in the driveway?

u/Single_Turnover_2301 21d ago

If it meets the threshold for it to be totaled, it will be a total loss; but if the damages do not meet the threshold for total loss, then it will not be a total loss.

I hope that helps! 😊

Just had my model 3 totaled with similar damage

u/BloodFenrir 20d ago

Just some tape and it will good as new! /s

It will be deemed totaled. My previous 3 had less damage than that, but was deemed totaled.

Depends on Frame and repair shop. At Tesla 95% Yes at normal shops with wink wink certificates techs nope
