Thoughts on this damage. Is it totaled?

On a school property today picking up the kid. Light wind knocked over a light pole and damaged my M3 and the truck next to mine. The pillar looks messed up. Still waiting for insurance company to reach back.Lucky no one was hurt.

My guess is we look at about 8k official damage. Can be fixed for some 3k I guess. Let us know what does your insurance company thinks.

Unfortunately… not totaled. My SWAG crystal ball also says $5-8k. Can’t tell if you have damage on the trunk lid.

I bet a lot more than 8k

Looks like a valuable wreck for salvage and an expensive repair = total.

Bent pillar / frame is the big one.

New door.

Likely new boot lid looking at where it landed.

Roof boot and side glass.

Paint.

Those things are galvanized steel here. Blimmin' 'eck that's some lousy planning leaving steel to rust away like that.

Is that side air bag partially deployed? If so I'm guessing they will total it.

The door is completely intact I believe.

Well it is currently at an authorized Tesla Collision Repair facility outdoors and seems that the rest of the glass roof has shattered out. Out in the elements.

Do you have a picture of the passenger side with the door closed window down?
Definitely did knock the sail panel down.
Just wanting to see the door alignment at the B pillar and if it is still good.

Agree looks repairable.

Oh read your last post shattered roof glass and if it rains much ... Carpet/ seat / interior weathering / chance of mold... etc.

Hopefully they get right to it and get the vehicle inside.
Good Luck for a great outcome.

If they parked it out in the rain I would hope they already wrote it off.
