by The first release of the ‘Juniper’ model in the Launch Edition is already being delivered to the USA this month, and one of them has already been involved in an accident. It is unknown whether the driver of this particular Model Y is responsible for the wreck it is now in, but most likely, there is no point in trying to save it. If anything, it is better to use it as a parts donor. The delivery of this electric vehicle is being sold at a Copart showroom in Houston, Texas, indicating that it was probably shortly removed from its birthplace in the Lone Star State. The left side of the Model Y looks flawless, while the right side is complete chaos.
One of the front wheels was torn off, along with the hub, brake cylinder, and brake disc, leaving only some suspension arms. The front wing is also ruined and covered with deep dents and scratches. Moreover, the front door and side mirror are damaged. Such listings never provide details about how the car ended up in such a deplorable state, but it can be assumed that it was involved in a serious accident, as the tearing of the wheel and hub does not occur in a minor accident. Surprisingly, the collision did not trigger any of the Model Y’s airbags, which is a bit odd.
On the other hand, the car’s interior looks quite good, although it needs a thorough cleaning. A glance at the car’s infotainment screen shows that the car has driven only 197 miles (317 km) and is equipped with a full self-driving system, which is standard for all Launch Edition trims. The listing also confirms that the electric car is still operational, indicating that the battery pack and electric motors may have escaped the crash almost unscathed. So, if you had the money, would you try to repair it and put it back on the road, or would you dismantle it for parts and profit from expensive components? And also, in your opinion, how much is this thing worth in its current condition—remember that the original retail price was $59,990?
