I wouldn't say that it was not entirely his fault. He was driving slow enough, had plenty of time and no one behind him to brake. Instead he chose to keep driving and allow for the crash to happen..
@@Matty12787It was most definitely not his fault in the slightest he had no way of knowing the truck was going to go in and not just lean forward for a better view. He couldn’t swerve or he’d hit the Prius, and if he slammed on the breaks he could risk being rear ended. Not to mention regardless of anything the other guy didn’t have the right of way it’s as simple as that.
Lincon actually did a great job not instinctively hitting the Toyota. It's always better to hit the car at fault rather than an innocent party because then you'll be on the hook for their damages.
@@1000Phoenix No it isn't. It's more complicated than that. The vehicle can go after the party that hit them due to an at-fault party. But the person who had to swerve to avoid-hitting at fault party can go after the at-fault party for hitting the innocent party involved. But it's more tedious legally so it's better just to hit at fault party.
Dont worry Dan, things come and go, but people cannot be replaced. So grateful that nobody was injured. Best of luck to Lincoln for his mission, waiting for the repair vlogs!

@@CameronGrumet They both had stop signs, considering the Tesla T-boned the Passat, it was likely already passing, when the Tesla ran its stop and hit it.
Okay. I’d like to believe that, but I almost feel like maybe the Y ran the stop sign and then the Passat scraped the front and pulled off the number and the Y kept going and dented it. Not sure though because either way it’s the Tesla’s fault
The Model X is close to totaled there Dan. I'm at $15-18k to fix it. Book on it may be $25k? The Model Y? I'm at maybe $10k to fix that one and it's not totaled. Maybe I'm wrong? I've never owned a Tesla, or even ridden in one. I'm with Leslie on keeping the Model X if it works for her, it's paid for, all the miles are "free" now. LOL Good luck to Lincoln on his mission! Good luck getting the cars fixed!! Glad no one was hurt!
The Model Y could be totaled. I had an accident in a Model Y in the same area on the driver side. If the wheel is bent or the control arms, it might be a goner.
@@southmassrailfanyou do not know what you are talking about, control arms are 100-200$ each and wheels 300 per piece, what would total the car out is that quarter panel damage.
@@blanklazar Yeah, there almost always is stuff underneath that you can't see without a lift or taking things apart. I was rear ended back in 2003 while driving my 1995 Ford Thunderbird. It looked fine from the outside, and the initial estimate was $1300...I almost took it, until I crawled underneath. The real bill was $4200...should have totaled the car, but Allstate was on the hook for both sides. Tesla's are expensive in accidents for sure!
Yo it just shows you how bad drivers are today.They will give a license to anyone. Then we have people on their phones.It's a big problem. Glad everyone is safe.
Gotta teach Lincoln those defensive driving skills, teach him that constant fear of dumb drivers out there, ready to brake at all times, use the horn, always keep your head on a swivel!
I agree with OP. It was the other drivers fault, however, based on the footage had he been paying more attention and the distance of the driver behind him allowed braking and letting the guy go would have been far more responsible. But like I say, there's so many variables you'd have to have been there to judge.
Got in a wreck last year and it took me 10 months to get my Chevrolet fixed. I bought a used Tesla to drive while I waited. Best decision I ever made! Hope Tesla autobody repair is quicker than Chevy. So sorry you all had to go through this but Im glad you're all safe! 🤗
He explained in the video at 6:44. Since it's an older model they can't put a flash drive and have the car record sentry mode/accidents so there's no footage. That's also one of the reasons he wants Leslie to get a newer model.
So he is ok to say that the yellow truck was to blame in the first instance but doesn't suggest who is to blame for the second... Because it was Leslie? At a four way stop, how do you make so much damage.
considering the damage on that passat is as bad as it is, I'm quite shocked the model X isn't much worse. My only concern is there may be some hidden frame rail damage further back that could write the car off.
Passat that wheel is because the upper strut has bent, as designed to. Not too much damage, easy to repair, new door, pull back into alignment, and it will be fine. By me around 2 weeks work, 3 days to get the panels right, new suspension, then wait a week in the paint shop to get around to it. 3 days in paint to make it look good again. But by me all those parts are available off the shelf, even for the less than popular Passat, because it shares so much in common with the more popular Audi, that has a lot of parts available. But likely the donor parts will come off one from a scrap yard, as they invariably get hit in the front. By me that is around $2500 at a reputable shop, well within the insurance allowable value. I had a VW, totalled because the estimate came to $3500, on a car valued at $3400. I went and shopped around the same week, got a similar age one, and the insurance money, plus the injury claim, paid for it. Sold it 2 years ago, and last month it was hit hard, but is being repaired, because the back end is easy to get, and this accident was a truck giving it a kiss from behind. 4 million of them made, plenty of spare parts around to fix them.
Please keep us updated! I would love to see the process of fixing crashed cars/selling injured teslas! I hope all goes well and that you guys bring in a new Lunar silver Model X! to replace the crashed one if its totaled
As a German who drives between 8.000km and 10.000km each month on the Autobahn at speeds mostly above 180km/h and whenever possible above 200km/h I MUST say your Son has amazing driver instinct. He not only moved over, but he only did it as much as he could without putting others at risk! This should tell you he is extremely aware of his surroundings while driving he also increased his speed when he knew that he could not move over more to dodge the Dodge (haha) so he used the instant power from the Tesla as a last ditch effort to try to change the outcome and maybe just maybe not get hit. He tried to correct someone else's mistake. Just WAUW!!!! after having a bad crash by having someone randomly and without any reason or heads up move into the left lane while I was driving 211km/h. ALWAYS be prepared for anyone around you to make a mistake while driving, also anyone who just got his drivers license and gets his car should go and find out the limits of his car! where is the limit and exactly at what point will it cross the limit and will not be able to controlled/saved anymore in any weather that is. Each time you change cars this process should be done again! then and only then will you know how your car will react and what it's possibilities are. Here in Germany I would go to the industrial areas and ask the managers if it was possible for me to do this on their massive lots most of them always said yes.

My older sister and mom both had their cars totaled in May then both had them totaled again in September. not on the same day but also remarkable! Hopefully you have safe travels for a while, it is rough for a family to be down 2 vehicles like that.

I’m so sorry that happened to your family. What a crazy thing! My son got into an accident in June in a 2023 Hyundai Tucson hybrid. I think my son’s car had about the same ish damage as your wife’s and his car was totaled. (Hard to really know obviously. ) With the understanding that his car is completely different the insurance adjuster said that many cars are being totaled way more than before due to all of the sensors, labor and parts. His frame wasn’t bent, low speed, no airbags went off but still totaled.
Just a fun fact: Here in Europe, there are no four-way stops or right on reds. I wonder how many accidents could have been avoided with better regulations.
How unlucky is that!!??? I thought that my experience of having 2 crashes in 2 separate cars over 2 weeks was unusual but THIS! Wishing you the best!!!
I feel like this is a very unlucky month for Tesla. We got into a hit-and-run three weeks ago on my birthday. My friend also got to hit with a Tesla. My other friend got into it.
Lincoln‘s Tesla is probably going totaled cause of that quarter panel damage. My friend had a Tesla got into a crash with quarter panel damage and they totaled it out
Blue Tesla would have about $10k to fix included new pumper and repaint. And white tesla would maybe be $16k to fix with a new white bumper and new installed sensors. Either way thankful everyone is safe and Dan is right, you can always fix cars but never a person
My guess is because he mentioned that he was trying to accelerate that it was overridden. I assume the driver has priority when accelerating and there is probably some system in place to stop it from braking when the driver is trying to accelerate
Talk about bad luck haha!! I lost my tire going 70 a few days ago and got pretty lucky Thats awesome to hear Lincon is leaving on his mission! I wish him well!!!
That's a BUMMER!!! but....thankfully no one was hurt. Leslie needs a newer one with the cameras active. I hope she goes that way. Long time subscriber, Helen
@@amazingcreator9453Fixing it will cost more than the car itself, lol. It's totaled, for sure! First, insurance will not want to pay a 30k+ value on fixing a vehicle 😆.
@@bastienx8 You need to consider whether the insurance company wants to pay for the damage to fix it. Most likely, no. Also, when fixing the car, you need to remember that all damage could lead to more damage. For example, how do you know if any other vehicle parts are not damaged? A battery could be damaged, a sensor could be damaged, etc.
@@MrBubblelone Yes other parts could be damaged, but that's the job of the repair shop. If the main frame of the car is not bent there is a solid chance it can be fixed. Other parts like the lights, sensors, bumper, windows, etc... can be replaced easily. That's why manufacturers always make a "repair manual" with every piece listed and a guide to replace them.
Tesla gonna say model x battery damaged making the car totaled. Actually both cars battery could be damaged. Really rolling the dice when a Tesla gets into even a minor accident.
She ran the stop sign while the Passat was in the middle of the intersection, there’s a reason he didn’t specify whether the accident was her fault or not
Model X is gonna be about $24k-$30k, my guess will be $28,500. I’d consider it totaled with that amount of damage on the older model. But, if you do get a new vehicle, get a new Model X, plaid if she wants one! lol. Especially because of how safe new ones are. Model Y will be about $10k-$12k, gotta replace a lot to fix it. I’m assuming they’ll find more damage underneath too..
I'm in the market for a used Tesla at the moment. The thing I would say that would help you sell it the most is include a way to see the footage of each "crash" and full recurrent report and data they show you as a person using your car with them. Both of these things which greatly increase the odds someone will buy it. Knowing the "crashes" were just cosmetic and that the battery is in solid condition (even better if you can show the AC/DC hours on the battery) is a great strategy. It's what I'm looking for to find in cars near me but none of these dealers know wtf they are doing with a Tesla
1. resell value of both will not be high after the accidents 2. cybertruck buyers need to be waitlisted and at the moment the cheapest foundation series cybertruck is at least 80k usd to 100k usd
Mannnn.. Thats unfortunate, glad to hear that Leslie, Lincoln, and the driver of that Passat are ok! I dont know if Leslie is set on Tesla as a brand, but if she doesn't.. she should consider either a Rivian or.. hell.. another Tesla. My guess for estimates is: Model X: 11,780 and Lincoln's Model Y: 15,690
A terrible double whammy for sure. With the kids having their own cars I would guess you wouldn't have much of a need for a car the size of the X. Perhaps a Hyundai Ioniq 5N might be in the cards. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙🇺🇸⚡🔌
Man that’s so disappointing for both cars. Hopefully you get them both back soon without it costing an arm and a leg. It’s very nice to have access to a built in dashcam for sure.
Tesla is like an accident magnet! This accident could have been avoided by Lincoln, cause there was another car on his left, so Lincoln should have slow down and let the truck go, even through Lincoln had the right of way!
Based on the white Tesla it might be possible it’s totaled we didn’t see if the airbags blown or the seatbelts locked which is very important to determine that but it has frame damage and will need to be pulled as the blue Tesla will also have to be pulled and sanded down to restore the back panel and the door might have to also be replaced which might cause it to be totaled as well based on cars I’ve seen sell on auction help some helps.
As someone who now works on cars, I think if you were to totally fix both cars both are likely totaled. The model y was hit on the rear quarter which is a notoriously difficult and expensive spot to fix. If the model y isn’t totaled it’s going to be very close to being totaled as it already has one accident on the carfax
The interesting thing about this is that Lincoln is already old enough and going on a church mission, for two years. Unfortunately I never went on one. In all my 64 years I never been out there in Utah. Furthest west I have driven was St. Louis Missouri, to the Stainless Steel Arch. I turned in my Chevy Bolt and got an Equinox. Seems all around more practical and has been a lot safer and smoother ride.
Lesson learned: Don’t go to Jimmy John’s for lunch in February, don’t listen to Katey Parey in a low battery model X, and don’t leave a model S in an airport 😂
I would definitely recommend the newer Model X for a replacement of your X at the moment, much nicer interior/exterior build quality and way more features. As well as that, there’s a nice few new colours and it just looks a lot nicer than the pre refresh!
me being honest id say there's a 45% chance of repair on the white tesla as it may look fine on the outside but it looks slightly twisted on how the impact was. luckily being a low speed it hopefully is easy take off and replace but also got to remember the cost of used parts are costly and new ones especially even with the value depletion on the cars themselves. i have all the hopes and wishes and are REALLY happy your family is ok and hope things are a little less crazy for the foreseeable future.
P.s id say 12.563k on the low end and 14.65k or more on the high end for the white tesla and 7.35k on the blue one as the type of damage may look less but its on the bigger parts of the tesla / body / unibody design.
It looks like the Model X is a insurance write off definetly. The Y though is definitely repairable, had someone side swipe my car before similar damage and was repaired in 2- 3 weeks.
I recently rebuilt my similarly wrecked 2017 Tesla Model S, I would love to buy your Model X and do the same thing, could make a great video out of it!
Honestly I feel like the model Y will be a more expensive fix, even though the damage doesn’t look as bad. For the 2017 Model X bumper replacement, I’d expect the costs to range from $3,000 to $5,000, including labor, parts, and potential repainting. For the Model Y fender and door jam damage, repairs could fall between $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the extent of damage and labor involved.
Well, it is uploaded on Friday the 13th.

I agree uploaded on Friday the 13th. That's sucks.

I feel like this is a very unlucky month for Tesla. We got into a hit-and-run three weeks ago on my birthday. My friend also got to hit with a Tesla. My other friend got into it.
Lincoln‘s Tesla is probably going totaled cause of that quarter panel damage. My friend had a Tesla got into a crash with quarter panel damage and they totaled it out
That panel sends some signs that the frame is cooked
@@Bendoopus69 definitely
Blue Tesla would have about $10k to fix included new pumper and repaint. And white tesla would maybe be $16k to fix with a new white bumper and new installed sensors. Either way thankful everyone is safe and Dan is right, you can always fix cars but never a person
Why didn't Collision Avoidance Assist slam on the breaks when it saw the truck at 01:54
My guess is because he mentioned that he was trying to accelerate that it was overridden. I assume the driver has priority when accelerating and there is probably some system in place to stop it from braking when the driver is trying to accelerate
They have turned it off in the screen
@@anishnattamai8801 lincoln never does ha he wans o be safe
They were accelerating which had overridden the system.
Because they were having a break. (They’re brakes btw)
Talk about bad luck haha!! I lost my tire going 70 a few days ago and got pretty lucky
Thats awesome to hear Lincon is leaving on his mission! I wish him well!!!
No the frame is bent u can tell from how it’s sitting
If the model x get totaled, get her the newer model x, love the vids 💖
Whambamteslacam is calling..
lol
Gosh that sucks for Lincon. Very well handled by him. Nothing he can do and good for him on not swerving into another car
Why not just fix lincoln's car and then keep it while he's away and then he can drive it when he comes home again?
It’s going to be older then it’s better to sell than for it to depreciate in value
Thankfully no one was hurt .
Take care Dan. 🙂
I’ll buy it how much
That's a BUMMER!!! but....thankfully no one was hurt. Leslie needs a newer one with the cameras active. I hope she goes that way. Long time subscriber, Helen
5:35 A NEW MODEL X
Great video! You’re one of my fav UA-camr! This is bad luck especially for Friday 13th my school bus broke down as well today
you can give Lincolns car to Lesley
They prob need a 3 row suv
@@CaseyGpdx they are a family of 4. why would they need a 3rd row?
That damage on the Y is worse than it looks, could easily be totaled with the quarter being damaged
I think the 2017 Tesla’s totalled
Nah I think it might be good
@@amazingcreator9453Fixing it will cost more than the car itself, lol. It's totaled, for sure! First, insurance will not want to pay a 30k+ value on fixing a vehicle 😆.
@@MrBubblelone Fixing the car might cost more, but it is way less polluting than building an entire new car.
@@bastienx8 You need to consider whether the insurance company wants to pay for the damage to fix it. Most likely, no.
Also, when fixing the car, you need to remember that all damage could lead to more damage. For example, how do you know if any other vehicle parts are not damaged?
A battery could be damaged, a sensor could be damaged, etc.
@@MrBubblelone Yes other parts could be damaged, but that's the job of the repair shop. If the main frame of the car is not bent there is a solid chance it can be fixed. Other parts like the lights, sensors, bumper, windows, etc... can be replaced easily. That's why manufacturers always make a "repair manual" with every piece listed and a guide to replace them.
we want this on wham bam tesla cam
did he just call a passat old? and 2017 is like practically new
2017 is not at all new..
It is in fact quite old, that would be 7 years old.
It is a 2012
Bro that gen of Passat came out over a decade ago 😭
4:44
can we see more of lincoln playing golf??
You may be able to get footage from Tesla by filling out info about date/time of incident and they can typically send more data
I actually consider it a minor miracle that anyone gets through the day alive.
Glad all are okay.
Tesla gonna say model x battery damaged making the car totaled. Actually both cars battery could be damaged. Really rolling the dice when a Tesla gets into even a minor accident.
Blue car $3,881
White car $10,670. I feel like the parts that are damaged is really expensive so both of these estimates are labor plus cost of parts.
So what happend to the white car? Since no story of how the crash happend to it?
Exactly
To me, everything indicates that she ran a stop sign.
She ran the stop sign while the Passat was in the middle of the intersection, there’s a reason he didn’t specify whether the accident was her fault or not
Model X is gonna be about $24k-$30k, my guess will be $28,500. I’d consider it totaled with that amount of damage on the older model. But, if you do get a new vehicle, get a new Model X, plaid if she wants one! lol. Especially because of how safe new ones are.
Model Y will be about $10k-$12k, gotta replace a lot to fix it. I’m assuming they’ll find more damage underneath too..
5:35 Mercedes EQS sedan
12/14 grand for both, but honestly, it's an older tesla, so it's not worth it, but for the blue one, it's worth it if there is no frame damage
I don't think you've ever seen a real "car wreck" before 😮.
I think you have no idea how insurance classify a car as "wreck"... It depends of it's value and the cost of repair.
I'm in the market for a used Tesla at the moment. The thing I would say that would help you sell it the most is include a way to see the footage of each "crash" and full recurrent report and data they show you as a person using your car with them. Both of these things which greatly increase the odds someone will buy it. Knowing the "crashes" were just cosmetic and that the battery is in solid condition (even better if you can show the AC/DC hours on the battery) is a great strategy. It's what I'm looking for to find in cars near me but none of these dealers know wtf they are doing with a Tesla
I would claim insurance, repair both the cars, sell both and buy a cyber truck, definitely you need a cyber truck 😂 Glad everyone’s safe.
1. resell value of both will not be high after the accidents
2. cybertruck buyers need to be waitlisted and at the moment the cheapest foundation series cybertruck is at least 80k usd to 100k usd
Mannnn.. Thats unfortunate, glad to hear that Leslie, Lincoln, and the driver of that Passat are ok! I dont know if Leslie is set on Tesla as a brand, but if she doesn't.. she should consider either a Rivian or.. hell.. another Tesla. My guess for estimates is: Model X: 11,780 and Lincoln's Model Y: 15,690
The Linconl imitation is hilarious 😂
A terrible double whammy for sure. With the kids having their own cars I would guess you wouldn't have much of a need for a car the size of the X. Perhaps a Hyundai Ioniq 5N might be in the cards. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚙🇺🇸⚡🔌
Man that’s so disappointing for both cars. Hopefully you get them both back soon without it costing an arm and a leg. It’s very nice to have access to a built in dashcam for sure.
Tesla is like an accident magnet! This accident could have been avoided by Lincoln, cause there was another car on his left, so Lincoln should have slow down and let the truck go, even through Lincoln had the right of way!
You do realize he was going to fast (speed limit) to “let the car go”. Cars don’t slow down from like 35 in that short amount of time.
Based on the white Tesla it might be possible it’s totaled we didn’t see if the airbags blown or the seatbelts locked which is very important to determine that but it has frame damage and will need to be pulled as the blue Tesla will also have to be pulled and sanded down to restore the back panel and the door might have to also be replaced which might cause it to be totaled as well based on cars I’ve seen sell on auction help some helps.
Man, what a crazzyyy coincidence! I'm sorry that happened to them, but glad they are okay.
Insurance would never believe this if it weren’t for that footage. 😂😂😂
As someone who now works on cars, I think if you were to totally fix both cars both are likely totaled. The model y was hit on the rear quarter which is a notoriously difficult and expensive spot to fix. If the model y isn’t totaled it’s going to be very close to being totaled as it already has one accident on the carfax
That old 2nd gen dodges are invincible!
The interesting thing about this is that Lincoln is already old enough and going on a church mission, for two years. Unfortunately I never went on one.
In all my 64 years I never been out there in Utah. Furthest west I have driven was St. Louis Missouri, to the Stainless Steel Arch.
I turned in my Chevy Bolt and got an Equinox. Seems all around more practical and has been a lot safer and smoother ride.
Glad everyone is safe and sound.
Just glad you guys are OK
Lesson learned: Don’t go to Jimmy John’s for lunch in February, don’t listen to Katey Parey in a low battery model X, and don’t leave a model S in an airport 😂
Hope they both ok good luck to Mr Lincoln for his mission
I think that robot vacuum is just bad luck
I would definitely recommend the newer Model X for a replacement of your X at the moment, much nicer interior/exterior build quality and way more features. As well as that, there’s a nice few new colours and it just looks a lot nicer than the pre refresh!
Wow crazy. Glad everyone is safe. If she liked her x then she should maybe get the new 2024 Model X.
It’s finally time for the Cybertruck!!!
If the white telsa is totalled, get a spyker, fun cars and definitly one of a kind!
Time for a Cybertruck!
me being honest id say there's a 45% chance of repair on the white tesla as it may look fine on the outside but it looks slightly twisted on how the impact was. luckily being a low speed it hopefully is easy take off and replace but also got to remember the cost of used parts are costly and new ones especially even with the value depletion on the cars themselves. i have all the hopes and wishes and are REALLY happy your family is ok and hope things are a little less crazy for the foreseeable future.
P.s id say 12.563k on the low end and 14.65k or more on the high end for the white tesla and 7.35k on the blue one as the type of damage may look less but its on the bigger parts of the tesla / body / unibody design.
It looks like the Model X is a insurance write off definetly. The Y though is definitely repairable, had someone side swipe my car before similar damage and was repaired in 2- 3 weeks.
i am so glad everyone is okay hope they get fixed soon!
I recently rebuilt my similarly wrecked 2017 Tesla Model S, I would love to buy your Model X and do the same thing, could make a great video out of it!
Working for a car parts supplier in the UK, I don't think the white one will be written off. It looks repairable as long as the parts are available.
Honestly I feel like the model Y will be a more expensive fix, even though the damage doesn’t look as bad.
For the 2017 Model X bumper replacement, I’d expect the costs to range from $3,000 to $5,000, including labor, parts, and potential repainting.
For the Model Y fender and door jam damage, repairs could fall between $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the extent of damage and labor involved.
1:52 that’s exactly what happened. Been there.
Get a Rivian R1S, you and Zack can be the Rivian bros
