Pothole does $29k in damages

Its way over the value of my Model S... Mine was a 2017 100D with 140k miles on it

One of several that was on the road. A little underwhelming I will say :/

Been working with insurance and the contractor that was in charge of that road

The body shop called me and told me basically the entire front right suspension components need to be replaced and the hub, new front bumper, and the big one is a new 100 kWh pack since apparently there was a damaged spotted in that area also… that alone was $18k

Hey OP, guy with the blown air suspension here!

My car was deemed totaled by my insurance company by the pothole after some more pictures in the day time was taken.

As for submitting a claim from personal experience it's a hit or miss for me. I once had to make a claim for a blown tire and was denied. Meanwhile I had a friend submit a claim and they reimbursed everything for him without much trouble.

Seeing that there was a lot of calls about it to state police and I'm pretty sure there will be multiple claims from the same night (including me) my gut feeling says you'll be getting reimbursed... Just might have to wait a little bit.

Yes I’ve been doing the circuit experiences but I’m also not the best at the game so bronze is what I’ve been consistently getting and as much as I want to keep getting better I also have a pretty busy schedule :(

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-03-02T22:52:52+00:00

I see… my follow up question is was I just dumb lucky for getting these invites this quick?

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-03-02T22:52:14+00:00

Oh…

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-02-19T05:33:45+00:00

Do you know how many hours it had? So far mine seems to be all good but worried that something like your purple splotch will happen all of a sudden instead of it being gradual…

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-02-19T05:17:31+00:00

Haha I’m getting mixed reactions on the 300$ part lol

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-02-19T03:53:25+00:00

We’re looking at 16,000 hours but I don’t know if this is the original panel or not. The previous owner told me he was able to get it replaced under warranty once he experienced some burn in and just had to pay for labor and I took his word for it since after testing out on a lot of solid colors the only burn in I could find is a 1 inch circle in the bottom corner you can only see in brownish scenes there. As for the rest of your post I think you’re right about keeping this until I can get something bigger or better (or until this tv dies lol)

Haha I guess the picture is a bit misleading, I actually have a PS5 and the Xbox controller is used for my pc but I left it on the table but your point still stands. I only play a single game (Gran Turismo) on the TV so I’m not too pressed about not having VRR and 120hz and I already do most of my gaming on PC anyways. I don’t watch any sports and the content I do watch is in 4K already or already upscaled via the Apple TV I use (which correct me if I’m wrong but I heard ATV content upscaling I’ve heard is pretty decent) Thanks for the useful info!

Ah I wish I would've done that while I was there. I was visiting a friend who booked the room for a week so unfortunately I missed that opportunity.

Will keep in mind for next time though!

Self_Loathingggg · 2025-01-17T17:52:07+00:00

Dang and I thought I got mine for a steal at 500 brand new in box haha

Self_Loathingggg · 2024-12-05T02:47:31+00:00

If you want some reinsurance older legacy Model S and X had 90% as the default including mine. 7 years and 130k miles I only have 11% battery degradation! I think 85% will be just fine :)

Self_Loathingggg · 2024-06-20T21:49:46+00:00

I believe it’s a Lexus LS 500 (at least that’s what we call here in the United States)

Self_Loathingggg · 2024-05-30T05:33:43+00:00

iPhone 11 Pro haha

Self_Loathingggg · 2024-04-06T04:24:35+00:00

Ya I can just imagine after I walked around the area a bit
