I challenge anyone to watch this video and tell me adding this to a vehicle as new ISN'T a major change that would rival the engineering difference between most traditional manufacture's model year changes. This is a fundamental design change. Again, we are talking about one set of vehicles never having it, then a break in the assembly line and all vehicles from that point have it...
Got a tip for us?

Hopefully the insurance is taking care of the value though?
The issue might be how long they have to wait for parts. Good luck with it.
C7 Corvette->C8 Corvette
5th gen Camaro ->6th gen Camaro meet the definition.
CTS-> CT5 meet the definition.
Those all had architectural changes done between the different generations.
Yes Juniper and Highland got new suspension, but the basic geometry couldn't be changed because that is baked into the platform they ride on and that didn't change. You're not going to be able to give the Model 3 the Cybertrucks 48 volt system because again that is baked into the platform.
It's why when the 6th gen Camaro got its facelift/refresh in 2019 and gained the camera rear view mirror, it lost homelink because the camera rear view mirror took its place on the electrical architecture.

yep, the other insurance (actually same as mine) will cover everything, and yes, haven't heard back on lead time for parts
