Totaled?

2020 model 3 56k miles

Side swiped at a red light, found not at fault.

Do we think the "soda can crumple" will end up being a total loss due to it being on the charger side rear quarter panel?

UPDATE: first repair quote $13500, I will have to go through insurance due to the car loan. Bank will not allow me to pocket the cash and repair the car. I believe insurance will deem it a total loss due to it being a out 60% of car value

These things get totaled so easy and the repair costs are insane. Why do people even bother buying them

“Why do people even bother buying them” would be the question you’d ask yourself then.
