A Tesla Cybertruck owner shares his truck was totaled after it was sideswiped by an E-scooter. However, the insurance company is only offering to pay him a “fair market price” of $77K, even though he paid $198K for the truck and still owes the bank $171K.
I don’t have a salvage title and I wont have one. Ownership was not transferred to them. Title is still in my name with no changes. I know how a salvage title works. Spent a huge part of my life directly involved in the car business including salvage related vehicles. I refused to let them total it. That is allowed. Like I said, it was dented fender. I’m never going to sell it while its running. Its old enough I can keep it running forever with no proprietary tools. I had just put a import motor in it a few months before. Even with their pathetic salvage offer in the settlement it was less than a third of what the car goes for at any car lot.
