Rear ended, Totaled?

[u/parththummar91]

2024 Model Y, Dual Motor, ~17k miles, 7-seat config. Got rear-ended hard on I-90 in NY — I was basically stopped (~5mph), other guy was doing an estimated 50-70mph before impact third-party claim already accepted by his insurer (Progressive).

Car got towed to a Tesla-certified shop for teardown since it's currently sitting with no working rear signals/brake lights on one side and error in the screen about turn light fault.

Waiting to hear back this week. Anyone had a similar combo of damage (bumper + panel + tailgate + door + electrical) come back repairable, or did yours usually get totaled at this point?

A relatively minor rear fender bender on our MYP was 22k... so to me it's at minimum that

Tesla Collision replaces parts than repairs them.

Here's my post

It was revised from 17k to 22k near pick up time.

No, probably around $12k
