Did you file a claim for diminished value?
No, that might have been a difficult case to make to any worthwhile degree on a 6-year old car considering the damage was just some non-structural sheet metal behind the rear wheel.

My truck arrived in anchorage 5/9 with 92% battery. Today Sunday 6/14 it’s at 21%.

I emailed the office Wednesday asking to charge the truck since next week it would be towed to Washington. No reply. Thursday I call and ask the same thing, they say there working on it. Friday, no charge.

It’s Sunday now, Monday could be the day the new tow truck arrives for transport so I’m in communication with a buddy Mark in anchorage area. He owns a cyber and is willing to drive onsite and sit for several hours to back feed so that my truck does not arrive dead.

😵 I am so utterly disappointed with the ā€œserviceā€ from Payless repair, but when I first heard the name my brain was sending off alarms so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised. When it leaves there yard I’m going to rip them on a review and it won’t be kind.

I've had the Tesla service centers let the battery drain to 0% over the weekend. Now i know to turn off sentry and enable low power mode before taking it in for service. They don't care there either. They've damaged the interior during visits as well...

This outcome is unsatisfactory. I understand all the reasons but your truck should not be totaled. The industry isn’t ready for this disposable frame design and it just seems like such a waste and does not make the truck feel like the robust ready for any planet narrative that goes with it. Alaska is rugged, but it’s still on earth. I don’t like this one bit.

The insurance won't crush it, they will sell it at auction and someone else will repair and re-title it. They have to pay for his loss of usage in addition to repairs. The timeframe might be longer than they have to settle the issue with him.

On my way home 2 miles away a 2023 Camry turned into my lane abruptly I was manual driving next thing i know big impact crazy sounds and lost control of cyber.

Could not drive home and insurance could not line up a tow truck for me (progressive).

No human injury’s but the front passenger tire will not turn, or hold air and it makes some nasty noises trying to do so . My windshield is damaged and the frames lost its gaps and cantrail is out of spec now.

What are the chances it’s an insurance total? There are no immediate errors besides low tire pressure.

Glad you good. It shouldn't be a total but if so buy it back at a lower cost.

As much as I love the CT I don't think I would purchase one if I lived in Alaska. Way too much of an ownership hassle. I'd most likely go for a HD 2500 pickup.
