Congratulations on being an idiot who bought the most idiotic vehicle ever offered...this side of the Pontiac Aztec.

Did they not get Gap insurance for their loan?
A rational smart financial decision made from individuals who choose to buy a Tesla Truck? Oh, thou doth jest.
Note that the original post is from January 26, 2025 (and says the sideswiping took place "last month"), so this happened rather before the backlash against Tesler gianed thrust.
The Cybertruck bring complete garbage was known from the second it was first revealed though.
And Elon was known to be a right wing sociopath for a bit longer than that, he just got less and less subtle about it.
Sure. I was thinking about the offered "fair market value" though, where it is relevant that even such already measly $77K do not yet reflect all the protests, the keying and arson risks, etc.
Oh noes! You're having difficulty filing an insurance claim for your Swasticar? Woe unto you, the stars weep for your tragedy.
I got hit in a parking lot by a little old lady cutting acrros the parking lot. They wanted to total my car and I told them no. They subtracted the salvage amount and cut me a check for the rest. A oem fender and some color matched paint cost less than 500. So this story is bullshit.
According to another comment:
Apparently the Cybertruck is way more unibody than most cars, their "gigamold" technology or whatever where the truck is made out of a small number of unusually large parts means a bolt-on bolt-off repair on most cars is "the entire cab is bent, it's done" on the DePlorean.

What I want to know is if the poor person who was riding that scooter when he cut them off is OK
The Price is Right failure horn
Just some free finance advice. Vehicles are a money sink, they only lose you value. If you aren't comfortable with the concept of losing money, DO NOT buy an expensive vehicle. But the cheapest used car you can with cash on hand. Now, that's not possible for everyone. And it's not practical for everyone, it might be in your best interest to lease a vehicle for a monthly fee. Your lease should be with a reputable car dealer that has some kind of agreement to regularly maintain the car, and to trade it in often for another car without increasing your fees. The goal here is to pay as little as you can, and trade in often so you don't ever reach the point of needing serious repairs to the vehicle. Different situations have different needs, no one size solution works. But I'd HIGHLY discourage taking out a large debt in order to buy a new car. Your losing money you don't have. That's a bad idea. Then again, bankruptcy has few downsides when you are already poor.
There's a point where the cheapest used car can end up costing more than a slightly more expensive one. While I agree with your advice generally, I'd instead recommend buying the most reliable used vehicle you can afford.

Complaining about the depreciation of that vehicle with extra steps.
