Tesla model 3 rebuilds, a lot of them were write off due to parts availability, so they timed out and ICBC will total the car.

Example A - My friend's model 3 Performance which he bought back. He had a fender bender, needed new quater panel, rear bumper, rear tail light, rear trunk. (all cosmetic), the car drove fine, no alignment needed

Went thru ICBC - Bodyshop said some parts are 6 months +, some parts are back ordered with no ETA

ICBC totals the model 3 and writes my friend a cheque

My friend then asked one of the Chinese dealer in Richmond to buy the car back from auction.

Took the car back to the bodyshop, and bought all used take-off parts from other Teslas.

Then passed VI at Canadian Tire to get it insured again.

Now he is still driving his original car with 14K in his pocket but with branded title. He said he is driving it to the ground, so rebuild doesn't mean anything to him.
