I don't know where that $40k figure in the article came from, it makes no sense to me. A wrecked Tesla would be way less than that if it was still repairable, and one that was hit so hard that it was only good for parts would be pretty much worthless. Like less than $2500 worthless, after all no insurance company in the world is going to put one of those things back together and there is zero demand for used parts as anyone that can afford a Tesla can afford to fix it with new stuff. Cripes, for $60k I can get a Fisker with 800 KMs on it!
