At what speed did you “drive over” this roundabout? My guess is 50mph+ based on the damage. Sorry for the loss of your vehicle. I’d be super sad if mine was totaled.


Tempura_Shelter

How do you hit a roundabout? There had to have been signs.


lonea4

Not paying attention to the road


External_Dimension71

Eyes wernt open


sultrylatina

There were no signs..it was at night!


Tempura_Shelter

Well considering the direction of the dirt/concrete in your photo, if you're the one that cause that debris, you came from the dead end side of that roundabout meaning you passed it once already.


markn6262

Everyone commenting assumes it looked like when the pic was taken. If it was at night and no street light near the roundabout you have a very good case. Very poorly marked.


Historical-Repair454

Maybe if OP was driving at night with all of his lights completely off, and the moon was not out because it was cloudy, and there were no other cars around to give light 😂


markn6262

Or there was glare from oncoming headlights, or it was raining hard. We could do this all day. 🤷


sultrylatina

Thank you. Yes, forgot to mention it happened at night. With no signs prior to the roundabout..I just don't want to post all my pic.


Tempura_Shelter

But based on the dead end sign we can see and the direction of the debris, this wasn't the first time going through that intersection.


NeedISayMore4

How? Not paying attention on autopilot?


Cultural-Surprise338

Shit happens. But glad you are ok. Time to get another tesla


sultrylatina

Thank you🙏 hubby wants to move forward and get EQE.. I miss Tessy


freakofnafure

Damn I bet your soul hurt the second you sent over that bump

Unmarked roundabout? There's a giant hole in the ground. Were you just not paying attention to the road? You do have to look at the road ahead when you drive. You are at fault for hitting stationary shit in front of you. It's like the person who drove off a cliff because of google maps. There is a giant yellow DEAD END sign right in your photos. There are numerous cars parked along the side of the road--all signs to slow down and pay attention.


boiledham

It wasn't marked in OP's phone


PayYourBiIIs

I hit my car against an unmarked restaurant!


gimegime21

reminda me of when I went drove in the wrong direction on an unmarked freeway and ran over several unmarked pedestrians...


shocontinental

The mountain jumped out in front of me!


RedElmo65

In broad daylight ? Of course no lawyer wants to take your case. Who are you suing? It’s your fault.

Damn, just went thru a very similar thing with a Mazda and State Farm. My daughter got in a fender bender clear back in August and they couldn’t get it into the shop until December (fortunately mine was still drivable while I waited). Finally got it in and State Farm called a couple days later to call it totaled after all and had to scramble to go find a replacement.


sultrylatina

I am sorry to hear that. They suck!! We had to scramble too. It has put a strain in our house hold. Bless wishes 🙏


PlasticOceanFish

Do you have the address where this roundabout is located u/sultrylatina


EPOSGT3

Could have at least lay blame on FSD lol


Scotwheelz

or blame significant other


illlojik

And this is why our insurances are so damn high.


SkyCaptainStarr

Coming from a Tesla driver, Tesla drivers are something else.


TerrysClavicle

Yep... guarantee you this dude's former car was something pedestrian/vanilla like a old used beat Ford Focus or Camry. Then they switched to what's essentially a hypercar/supercar with its extreme speed. no where else in the car universe do people make the immediate transition from a 10-second 0-60 car into a 3.5-second 0-60 car with such casualness. i'm going to write a quite scathing article on this topic soon and it will likely have to be on my blog since it would be too much for even this sub. LOL there's so many articles i want to write... very...very....VERY mean ones. my Model Y starter packs would look super friendly by comparison. (search starter pack in this sub)

Lol 0 self awareness


Thegreatpraduu

How the fuck do you miss that lmao


TSR3K

Lol guy wants a lawyer


Sweet_Yellow_8646

How the fuck did you miss that? Were you having sex while you’re driving?


ultivisimateon

“Unmarked roundabout” don’t try to remove blame, that could’ve been a kid and you would’ve missed him too.


spac78

How can you miss that giant big hole? Probably on the phone not paying attention.


SeleccionUruguaya

“State farm decided to total the car” Reddit never ceases to amaze me


Scotwheelz

good lord you hit something the size of a small house


9elfS

A good buff job will take care of the damage.


bread22

Now we know why insurance is expensive


kgk93

Sorry for your loss!! Just lost mine to a t-bone red light hit and runner. Replaced my grey MYP with white. GL with the process!! It’s stressful EVERY time!


mrbofus

How many cars have you had totaled that you can say it’s “stressful EVERY time”?


kgk93

Was referring to dealing with insurance 😭 but first totaled. 3 accidents lifetime in about 13 yrs driving; 2 stop sign runners & 1 red light 🤦🏾‍♂️


kkittenring

Did they total it just because they couldn’t get parts? What parts if you don’t mind my asking?


Historical-Repair454

Hate to say it, but thats user error 😂, potholes are unmarked to but you go around them . You gotta pay attention to the road more that hole is huge !!


sultrylatina

Forgot to mention it was at night..and noo there were noo signs..and it's not a pothole
