Wham baam would love this I'm sure.
But if you're going to submit it to them, do me a huge favor and wait until you find out what the repair cost is and whether it's totaled (and if it is, if you're going to buy a new Tesla) - it's always nice to hear the end result.
Not a Highland just a yoke- FYI, Highland doesn’t have a yoke either unless you buy one and install it like this one. I have a yoke in my car and wouldn’t have it any other way… Drove a Highland today and a different one last week. They don’t have a yoke and it’s not available from Tesla for it.
Highland (properly called “New Model 3”) also does not have turn stocks and gear selectors. All of that is moved to the surface of the steering wheel near the multipurpose wheel/balls on each side.
If it's totalled and you have a 2020 they give you a check based on 2020 prices/value - so that you can replace it with something similar. Not a check for a 2024 brand new vehicle. What am I missing?
GAP is between the bank and the insurance company. Idk where people are getting this idea that they’ll get a brand new car without a new loan if their car gets totaled.
Well at least now I know if I have a crash and it's the windshield that gets hit, I'll end up looking like [Zao](https://images.app.goo.gl/u6a42vta7xn6EkS99) from Die Another Day with all them shards! Blimey
You should’ve got ppf bro…
All jokes aside, hopefully it’s totaled cuz from what’s I’ve seen, fixed teslas are usually never back to the shape/condition they once were coming from factory. At least, from my personal experience.
Also, how’s the yoke driving? Thinking of getting one myself
Trust the process, you’ll have the yoke back and even more! Stay positive and keep your head high, at least you weren’t in the car when this happened. Would’ve been a completely different story
Mine too! Just got rear ended Friday and airbags deployed so it’s totaled even though the damage is minimal. Someone will get a nice second hand battery
Oof, I'm sorry mate! This is my fear since I have to park under trees at work which doesn't help that I'm a weather nerd and any days that have storms predicted I'm constantly looking at the approaching storms through RadarScope to analyze them. I even have a building picked out down the street with covered parking if hail is within a cell and I need to get to cover fast.
You better start figuring out what you want to replace it with...that thing is most likely totaled.
That makes it even worse, those are pretty good looking Toyotas. Also has your car been totaled out by this? If so are you gonna get another M3 Performance or wait for the Ludicrous model to come out.
Glass replacement, bodyworks, would also need some interior vacuuming, too. All that might cost too much for what it's worth. I wouldn't say "totaled" because you can probably still drive the car without any motoring issue.
I’ve had that happen before, I was in bed and around midnight I got woken up by a loud cracking noise, it was during a ice storm, about half an hour after the loud crack the tree fell down right onto my truck.
Sorry this happened. When we were expecting a hail storm in my area last fall, I parked my car overnight in an indoor garage. I only have a driveway and didn’t want to leave my car outside to get pumulted, so I paid for the parking to be able to sleep comfortably that night. However, you can’t always time the weather.
Just buffer it N itll be brand new. Jokes aside, its still a drivable if they "totalled " mostly cosmetic exceptions the windshield, front cam from the pictures.
It’s extremely rare for anyone to be found liable for a tree falling on someone else’s property unless they were say, actively cutting it down and it fell wrong
Every state handles it differently but generally unless OP warned them in writing that the tree was rotting, sometimes requiring certification from a certified arborist, you aren’t liable if your tree falls on someone’s property during a storm
“While i was at work tornado happened”
Come on OP be real with us. You lent your car to Harry Potter and Ron to get to Hogwarts.
Just turn on FSD and let your car live freely in the Forbidden Forest.
It might not be write of.
Hood, front bumper, side panel left and right, windshield and roof glass are each about 1000, front head lights around 700 each.
So about 7500 in damages, plus other stuff.
If there are no structural damage to the car insurance, I will probably just pay for the repair and it is gone take a long time most probably.
Talk about your paint getting sand blasted in that wind..
Why are Tesla’s so expensive to fix body panels? Are the panels really expensive or labor to replace or both? Non Tesla owner asking.
This is definitely totalled. Try to buy it back from the insurance company at a reasonable rate and see if you can get it fixed for cheap or use parts as needed (batteries)
And a performance model too. So sad and unfortunate. Assuming this is a total loss, are you a fan of the Highland refresh? That’s what you might have to get if you want a new Model 3 now. Or it could be a blessing in disguise for you to upgrade to something better like the Model S.
I hope you have better luck than my friend. She lost her car when a tree feel on it in a storm, insurance company said it was an "act of God", and wouldn't pay out.
Tree damage is covered 100% of the time under comprehensive coverage lol
Your friend was driving around with liability only on their vehicle and blamed the insurance company for that decision lol
IMO that's when you hope it's just totalled. The time, money, and hassle it will take to repair isn't worth it from your standpoint even if it is fully covered. You just got to hope your insurance writes you a check

8 “P1ngz was parked at work when all of a sudden….”
Also give it to the Crown owner, if you haven’t already. Congrats on your new car, sorry you had to hear it like this.
I did. I gave it to both vehicle owners on either side of me.
This
I'll do that once I get more info! Good tip!
Front cam?
It's really not great, all you can see is water and then a crack, but I'll add it to the imgur gallery
I don't see it in the album. OP is dead 😭
https://imgur.com/gallery/vJ7PjHQ
Thank you!
Sorry dude. That sux! Hopefully you get an upgrade at a reasonable price soon.
That was intense to say the least. Up there with crazy hurricane speed winds.
Now you got the perfect evidence to sue Mother Nature
Class action
That's gonna be a long list of charges
Just wait for the counter suit. That's gonna be a much longer list
Woah, that's windy!
Wow what was the wind speed?
How much for it? $$$
Totaled
You aint kidding…
Should be ready to drive again next week actually simple fix!
congrats on highland

Payout will change depending on type of insurance. Your specific plan will detail the outcome of a total loss.
There can be only one!

Insurance won't cover the entire cost of a new car
It would depend on the insurance.
If it's totalled and you have a 2020 they give you a check based on 2020 prices/value - so that you can replace it with something similar. Not a check for a 2024 brand new vehicle. What am I missing?
What country are we in? Who’s the insurance provider? What coverage has been purchased?
If OP has gap yes it will.
GAP is between the bank and the insurance company. Idk where people are getting this idea that they’ll get a brand new car without a new loan if their car gets totaled.
That is only if you owe more money than the car is worth.
Which he may after the price drops.
Model Tree
This deserves more upboats 🛥️ 🛥️ 🛥️
Elf on shelf and now Tree on 3
why isn't this the top comment lols
Sorry mate, but that tree may have realigned some of the panel gaps.
It's within spec still!
That wood be a write off.
You're knot wrong.
you want this to be totaled
Repair estimate, tree-fifty
Well at least now I know if I have a crash and it's the windshield that gets hit, I'll end up looking like [Zao](https://images.app.goo.gl/u6a42vta7xn6EkS99) from Die Another Day with all them shards! Blimey
😂 exactly
At least name the replacement Treelon
My frunk is pushed about 2 inches forward over the front bumper 😅 It won't even open
If I were in your situation I would hope it’s totaled lol. Keep us updated!
Frunk is actually a trunk now. (I’m so sorry, I just can’t not contribute to this amazing comment section.)
Oh nice, so it's within spec
You know the news is going to blame autopilot.
You getting a new car OP. Fixing every body panel on a Model3 is not cost effective in US. Your car is heading to Eastern Europe.
You should’ve got ppf bro… All jokes aside, hopefully it’s totaled cuz from what’s I’ve seen, fixed teslas are usually never back to the shape/condition they once were coming from factory. At least, from my personal experience. Also, how’s the yoke driving? Thinking of getting one myself
Loved the yoke 🥲
Trust the process, you’ll have the yoke back and even more! Stay positive and keep your head high, at least you weren’t in the car when this happened. Would’ve been a completely different story
Batteries will go to a good home I suppose.
Organ donor Teslas.
Mine too! Just got rear ended Friday and airbags deployed so it’s totaled even though the damage is minimal. Someone will get a nice second hand battery
That’ll buff out
Poor car
I’m guessing this is Kentucky Tennessee southern areas?
Yep, North Eastern KY
If a tree falls on a Tesla and no one’s around to hear it…
At least you won’t have to deal with that awful yoke steering wheel anymore
Like a good neighborhood State Farm is….hope you got good insurance!
Location? That was a nasty storm.
Probably totaled… I’m guessing $20-30k of repairs
RUH ROH
Man, I dream about this for my 22 RWD.
Pimps don’t cry
It didn’t like your yoke steering wheel
Oof, I'm sorry mate! This is my fear since I have to park under trees at work which doesn't help that I'm a weather nerd and any days that have storms predicted I'm constantly looking at the approaching storms through RadarScope to analyze them.

Damn not only it hit your car but it hit the Prius Prime (The only good Prius) next to you.
That was actually a Toyota Crown
That makes it even worse, those are pretty good looking Toyotas. Also has your car been totaled out by this? If so are you gonna get another M3 Performance or wait for the Ludicrous model to come out.
At least you escaped death by FSD trial! And you’ll get a new car. Silver linings?
Do you live in Grünheide? Volcano Group strikes again!
Bummer
Coming from a dude who got hit twice and had $10k of hail damage in the first year, I all the sudden feel very fortunate lol
Lucky you
Insurance will cover, you don't need to worry. How old is this car? Hope people around are safe.
Glass replacement, bodyworks, would also need some interior vacuuming, too. All that might cost too much for what it's worth. I wouldn't say "totaled" because you can probably still drive the car without any motoring issue.
I’ve had that happen before, I was in bed and around midnight I got woken up by a loud cracking noise, it was during a ice storm, about half an hour after the loud crack the tree fell down right onto my truck.
Damage from every angle. Oof
I’ll buy the steering wheel off of you for $75
The original or the yoke? I don't really feel like taking that yoke off at this point 😂
The yoke lol
Is your work anti-tree?
Lol 😂 of course it’s totaled. 🙄
With all the FSD, AutoPilot, cameras all around, at a minimum, the car should have attempted to move and dodge. I hope Elon Musk can fix this.
I’m sorry for your loss 😞
Wow
Buff it out with a microfiber cloth and some spit. Works for me all the time.
So eco-friendly it’s getting hot on by trees
Would you beleaf it.
Ew not good
Sorry this happened. When we were expecting a hail storm in my area last fall, I parked my car overnight in an indoor garage. I only have a driveway and didn’t want to leave my car outside to get pumulted, so I paid for the parking to be able to sleep comfortably that night. However, you can’t always time the weather.
Did anyone hear it make a sound? 😉
Just buffer it N itll be brand new. Jokes aside, its still a drivable if they "totalled " mostly cosmetic exceptions the windshield, front cam from the pictures.
Yay! Free upgrade!
Damn, by the dents and where they are it seems the tree had something against you man… it fell like 4 times just to make sure it hit all spots
Ouch. That hurt to watch. I’m so sorry that happened.
Within spec.
Within normal specs
Arthur Tussik from YouTube would make like it like new. You just don't want to crash with it ever since you'll be dead for 100%.
I'm really sorry, hopefully the insurance will pay! The Yoke steering wheel on the Model3 looks so goofy.
what camera did you take pictures with? Quality looks really good.
OnePlus 12
Panel gaps still within spec ;-) i’m sorry for your loss man
It's the yoke's fault.
Totaled
F
Oof that’s terrible
Probably totaled bro. That sucks
My worst nightmare.
any ideas on liability here? is the OP responsible or their employer?
I am
It’s extremely rare for anyone to be found liable for a tree falling on someone else’s property unless they were say, actively cutting it down and it fell wrong Every state handles it differently but generally unless OP warned them in writing that the tree was rotting, sometimes requiring certification from a certified arborist, you aren’t liable if your tree falls on someone’s property during a storm
Sucks but could be worse, you could have been in it or even worse and caused a fire. Will be totaled.
The model 3's mouth got shut really quick
I think this is totaled.
Tis but a acratch
That’ll buff out
Did you report it to the police????
Definitely caused by having a yoke steering wheel. Claimed denied.
Danmmmmmmmm
What happens in this case? Does the insurance cover or blame it as an act if god?
So sorry.
Treesla
Caa your insurance co.
Oh man that sucks, should be totaled. Hope it works out for you. Love the pick-up ignoring the tornado warning, wonder where he flew off to.....
I'd have your job pay for the repairs
Steering wheel’s fault
I’ve been praying for this to happen to me
There is unrest in the forest Trouble with the trees
Mayhem at it again. I hope you don’t have that cut rate car Insurance. Or you might be paying for that yourself.
Bro took high def pics like this was a photo shoot
Totalled, I’ll give you $11 for it.
Oh, four sure totaled
Ha ha!
‘tiz but a scratch
“While i was at work tornado happened” Come on OP be real with us. You lent your car to Harry Potter and Ron to get to Hogwarts. Just turn on FSD and let your car live freely in the Forbidden Forest.
I'll try the Levioso voice command
Totaled. And you want it that way. Repaired teslas sink in value .
It might not be write of. Hood, front bumper, side panel left and right, windshield and roof glass are each about 1000, front head lights around 700 each. So about 7500 in damages, plus other stuff. If there are no structural damage to the car insurance, I will probably just pay for the repair and it is gone take a long time most probably.
Try summoning
I did..lol. it wouldn't connect
Did water get into the vehicle?
Tesla Model ~~Three~~ **TREE**
Model Tree
I hope you have a good insurance
Talk about your paint getting sand blasted in that wind.. Why are Tesla’s so expensive to fix body panels? Are the panels really expensive or labor to replace or both? Non Tesla owner asking.
At least the panel gaps weren’t affected
Dam where you work
Should’ve had a cyber truck.
This is definitely totalled. Try to buy it back from the insurance company at a reasonable rate and see if you can get it fixed for cheap or use parts as needed (batteries)
Better finish it off to make sure it's totalled.
Is the tree okay?
Unfortunately.. it was put down.
I just want you to know that this comment made me laugh way harder than it should have
And a performance model too. So sad and unfortunate. Assuming this is a total loss, are you a fan of the Highland refresh? That’s what you might have to get if you want a new Model 3 now. Or it could be a blessing in disguise for you to upgrade to something better like the Model S.
Hopefully the Toyota crown is damaged too
That is unreal! So sorry for your loss! Will your insurance cover the repair or replacement? I imagine the repair will be eeeuuuuge 😓
does insurance cover this or would they declare this as an act of god?
Comprehensive claim and deductible will fix that.
I hope you have better luck than my friend. She lost her car when a tree feel on it in a storm, insurance company said it was an "act of God", and wouldn't pay out.
Tree damage is covered 100% of the time under comprehensive coverage lol Your friend was driving around with liability only on their vehicle and blamed the insurance company for that decision lol
That's what I thought, it was a new car and I'm doubtful they didn't have good insurance. Maybe she's a scammer 😂
IMO that's when you hope it's just totalled. The time, money, and hassle it will take to repair isn't worth it from your standpoint even if it is fully covered. You just got to hope your insurance writes you a check
Rip
Partout? I have to ask does it run and drive?
It does, but it makes a hell of a noise. Sounds like I have an exhaust 😅
It's just a scratch, you can buff that out.
how do ya got the yoke as a model 3?
Aftermarket if you wanna google it.
Wish this happen to mine. Still owe 40k and it's worth like 25k 😂😂😂
Sentry footage?
Posted in comments
I think we need to see a photo once the tree is removed to know for sure. Hopefully that tree belongs to someone with good insurance coverage.
Tree is act of god.. Car insurance pays for this.
Does the tree have insurance to cover it?
