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.
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.

imagine spending 200k on a cybertruck and getting totaled by an escooter this guy is a fucking moron
Probably hard to find any recycled parts because there are so few of them on the road, and buying a new part is probably expensive and timely. I'm sure Telsa isn't allowing any LKQ production either. And even if you get a part, you have to go to a shop that can work on the car, which will be expensive because who's going to want to work on a vehicle that rusts when you look at it? Even if it seems fine, once someone is in an accident, every single thing that happens next will be the accident. Rear ended six months ago? Yup, that's why your tire blew, not the nail in it. So that person will keep coming back. The new piece is rusted, the new piece isn't as straight, the new piece buckled. An insurance company will absolutely total a car not just because the repairs are over the costs, but if it seems like it's always going to have issues, they'll make a decision to total it as the cheaper option. They do that with rodent issues all the time. And during all this, depending on his coverage, he's racking up rental. And rental always runs out.
He's complaining about standard insurance practices. They don't owe you the overpriced amount the dealership talked you into, they owe ACV/Actual Cash Value. The moment you leave the lot, it's losing money. It doesn't matter how great you took care of it, or if it's like new. You don't get the brand new, off the lot price, for a vehicle that's no longer brand new, off the lot.

Wtf? They paid twice the price of the "value"?
The owner is figuring out what everyone else knew: the swastitruck isn't worth half of the money Melon is asking for it.
