Well, the unexpected happened. I was t-boned by a speeding car while I was turning left in an otherwise clear intersection (he was going 45mph in a 30 zone and flew around a corner before he hit me). Still waiting on the police report, but I hope I'm found not at fault. Pretty significant damage as you can see in the photos. The front right wheel is also stuck at a different angle than the left wheel. I couldn't identify any damage on the inside of the car, but the glovebox won't open. It appears it's being pinched by something.
Luckily no one was hurt, and to my surprise, no airbags went off in my car. Amazing how unscathed I was. These cars really are the safest on the road.
The car has been sitting in a tow yard for the past few days, but I'm having it towed to my garage to await my appointment at the body shop (next week). My insurance adjuster came up with a repair quote of $6k (absolute joke). No in-person inspection, just wrote that up based off of photos. I'm expecting the body shop to quote much much higher, and am crossing my fingers that they just declare it a total loss.
I'm leasing my car through Tesla, so I'm curious if they get involved in this at all, since they will be the ones eating the cost of any depreciation at the lease term end.
