I’ve only had this model 3 for a short period of time before a guy rear ended me. It won’t drive immediately after the impact. Is it totaled? The repair wait line is months I heard. Thank you and safe driving.

Looks like a 45* angle of the van into the trunk. Not an uncommon hit for someone (van) realizing they’re going to hit and jerking the wheel to try and avoid.I would guess your model 3 is totaled, but I am not an expert at looking at this stuff. Both of these car dents look strange though.... they both look like there is a small skinny impact point in the middle (both the van and the model 3). I am having a hard time picturing what on the back of the model 3 caused an inverted dent like that on the van, and what on the van caused the same inverted dent in the middle of the model 3.
Shrug.. its just one of the stranger set of dents in the large number of "is this totaled" threads that get posted here.
Good luck getting it totaled, I would hope for it to be, if it were my car.
Did you retrieve the dash cam video or was the car complexly powered off after the collision? Grab your sentry thumb drive and open it up on a computer and you can see all the video recorded to it. It may help prove who was at fault since people involved in collisions frequently lie about the facts surrounding the event.a guy rear ended me.
I have my usb disk out of the car and the video was provided to my insurance. The glovebox initially didn’t open. I had to press the button and force it open on the side by bending the plastic. It was a minor detail but I did struggle with it for about 10 min. The video clearly showed the van had long time to stop but he didn’t slow down a bit.Did you retrieve the dash cam video or was the car complexly powered off after the collision?

Too bad the glare on the van windshield blocks a clear view of the driver. I wonder if the person was on a mobile device and didn't see you stopped.2022-11-16_08-32-33-back.mp4 here we go I hope posting this doesnt hurt my claim. I’ll have this live for limited amount of time to protect my privacy.
Yep.Ahh I see the explanation for the weird damage pattern. On the front of the truck, there is a structure off center under the bumper cover that sticks out further than the rest of the front area under the bumper cover. That is what impacted the center rear of your car. The center of the truck bent in via the left rear corner of your car.
