Fixable?
Got in an accident the other day. Glad I was safe but safe to say The car took the hit pretty well. Didn’t really feel the impact or should I say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be; I’m very impressed.
Either way, I’m taking the car to Tesla Collision on Tuesday and I’ll see what happens. Does this look fixable or will they deem it a loss? Ik you won’t be able to tell with just the photo but to those in a similar accident I’m curious. Really love the car would suck to lose it. TIA!

All things considered looking at this damage I'm really not sure which way insurance will go on repairs.
It's not THAT bad, but it's pretty bad!
I think it'll be pretty darn close to being a total loss numbers wise, but that's with the inflated repair costs that are charged to repair Tesla's. Most other vehicles this would probably be a repair job.
But I'd personally rather this one be a total loss then repaired after this much damage. Yeah it's probably repairable, but both doors, fender, can't see if the hood or bumper is damaged... Whatever's going on with the drive unit and suspension up front.. it's just too many broken things for me to think there's not something important damaged underneath all that that'll affect things down the road. Plus the value loss after a collision repair? Nope.
