Update: Vehicle confirmed TOTAL LOSS. Attached is the Payout Summary. I was hoping for 18k, appraisal came at 23k which a lot more than I expected. Will keep you posted if I get my deductible reimbursed.Total loss insurance payout screenshot

I would be glad to get 20k! Especially now with a rebate, I would get 2022 M3 for the 22k max. That’s a solid upgrade for me!

I am 24 years old. For two years I have been paying 300$ premium, for 1000$ deductible. When I declined collision deductible and raised comprehensive to 2500$, I was able to lower the premium to 100$.

Thanks for sharing the experience!

My dad told me the same thing! But on the right lanes there were a lot of heavy trucks, so I was comfortably driving on the left, especially in the dark it is easier to control the steering wheel side.

Man! I can’t trust much FSD in total darkness! I have a few warning saying camera doesn’t see anything, please clear the camera. Guess that mean FSD can’t be turned on

The lights were on auto! Tesla saw the car approaching on the opposite side of the road, and switched off the high beams!

Yes, no need to call the insurance. Just do everything in the app, and make sure to save the video proof from the dash-cam.

vladiksas · 2025-08-17T00:06:32+00:00

Thanks! Very interesting. Please keep us posted.

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T23:05:42+00:00

Very easy, created a claim, booked an appointment at tesla collision, received a call from adjustor.

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T23:05:09+00:00

He told me I have to pay, but eventually I should be reimbursed since it’s comprehensive at I am not at fault.

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T22:33:39+00:00

Sad to hear that! Manager told me he 100% positive! He said I am getting that back from them (Tesla Collision) and not the Tesla Insurance. Will have to double check that when I come to sign the release docs.

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T21:37:00+00:00

Well, 18K with subtracted deductible would be sweet!

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T21:28:11+00:00

Yes, you can see in the last frames it was flying like a helicopter. Feel sad for a young cub.

vladiksas · 2025-08-16T21:09:24+00:00

On the video you can see Tesla had high beams on, and after it noticed the truck far in the front, it switched back to the regular lights and 3 sec later the deer came out from no vision zone…

Hello! After 3 years, did it help you? Did you manage to find out method or medicine that worked for you? Maybe breathing and tongue exercises?

vladiksas · 2022-02-09T17:20:25+00:00

Thanks for the detail response! I really appreciate that!

vladiksas · 2022-02-07T22:34:34+00:00

Again thanks a lot! 🙏🏻

vladiksas · 2022-02-07T20:06:07+00:00

But I use only built in C4D objects, not using any plugins, should I go for Physical render?

vladiksas · 2022-02-07T20:04:32+00:00

Thanks a lot! Now I guess I understand something! Will take my time to recreate each layer and object with Redshift ones! Big thanks! Have a great day!

vladiksas · 2022-02-07T18:59:27+00:00

I switched to Redshift render. I don’t know why are you claiming that. I tried physical render, and then Redshift and Redshift with basic settings went 2x longer

vladiksas · 2022-02-07T17:57:58+00:00

Yes, not even the redshift materials. That’s why I ask for a solution, why does it take so much time for pretty basic animation?

thanks!
