PIT maneuver vs. 2023 Lightning PRO

Well, $28k right there, is most likely over 1/2 of the Value (On a quick search of comparable Vehicles) of the truck, so most likely it's toast...sad to say..and being an EV, like some of the videos, . . .(they don't know what could have been damaged in the Battery )

You don't want it back even if repairable?

Any luck getting your dashcam files?

Just know that value will tank with the extent of damage. I got the dash cam, played out just as I stated, he clipped me.

Oh, THAT is such good news for you!

Gotcha, I understand completely and do not blame you.

I'm very happy you were able to recover your dashcam video so you can get the fault assigned to the other driver. Refuse to take even 1% of responsibility from the insurance company. The dashcam has saved us twice from the insurance companies trying to share blame in an accident that was 100% someone else's doing.

On the off chance that they say it is not totaled, are you familiar with how to go after Diminished Value? This will provide at lease some compensation to you for this. Funny how insurance companies never volunteer that information either.

Got video, adjuster said video matched my statement 100%, said it could have been a live commentary. Deemed 100% other guys fault.

Upon bodyshop autopsy, they totaled the truck with over 40k in damage.

Sorry for your loss, but happy that you won't be stuck with a repaired vehicle and have to fight for diminished value.

So, now that the Lightning is out of production and the future for keeping existing ones on the road is sketchy at best, what are you going to replace it with?

Another lightning

Another lightning

Well, if you're going to buy one they better rollout the red carpet.
15% off the MSRP since it's a discontinued model to start. Another $8K off since they waited until the tax credits ended and the truck is still on their lot. Icing on the cake, 72 months at 0% interest, no down payment, and no payment for 90 days.

Glad you're OK!

The shear number of Lightning trucks I've seen crashed online and in social media owner groups has been staggering. I don't know what's going on, but it's a little concerning.

Battery packs coming to the used market, in case you need some in the future, once production halts….

Disappointing. I thought maybe you fled from Arkansas State Police and we were going to see an epic video.

Trooper Byrd! The man, the myth, the legend.
