Fortunately no one seriously injured. Suspect he was uninsured. Will find out tomorrow.

At this point it awaits evaluation for damage by adjuster. Car only 4 months old and less than 4000 miles. Aarrgh. Those that have more knowledge than I please offers opinions as to what to push for. Should I expect it will be totaled or repaired? With that force of impact I would imagine structural damage. Thx

That's getting fixed. Check into a diminish value claim though. Could be quite hefty on a car like this.
Agreed about diminished value claim. Push hard on it, might help you get it totaled.
The diminished value claim has no impact on the decision to total a car or repair it.

OP, my M2C was hit on the front drivers side at a much slower speed. 27k repair bill. Nationwide did not and would not total. 2.5k diminishes value. All I. All they spent 30k to fix a 50k car and I fought with them exhaustingly to total it. They said according to Texas state law, can be up to 100% of value before they need to total it. Nationwide is a shit company though so maybe you'll have better luck.

YMMV

Glad you're ok though and I really hope you leased it.
Nationwide is not on your side ‼️
