I knew what you meant. Just fun busting you whippersnappers chops..... 
They likely used a CCC valuation and they are almost always wrong. Look closely at the vehicles they are comparing yours to. Where are they coming up with salvage price of almost $20k? That seems about $15k too high. You think CoPart could turn a profit on that price without selling the truck whole? Don't agree to anything, they will tell you they won't negotiate, but they will.

Payout amount settled on.
Hate to part with it. But no way I can convince myself to put serious money into a salvage title vehicle, no matter how nice.
If someone gets a good deal at salvage auction, they’ll get a very very good mechanical, rust free underbody, top condition interior to turn into a build.

A watched pot never boils. I’m going to take the passive approach so I don’t end up compromising impatiently.
It’ll come. Eventually.
What’s the VIN for prospective auction shoppers?

As CoPart doesn’t show any real pictures of quality, here are a few for those interested in tracking it.
Can post more if desired. Just let me know.

******* someone tell the boys at Dissent and Stellar, the seem to scoop these trucks up!
...holding out for the 2-cylinder version #greenpowerGo drive a 4 cyl 250 and come report back
This truck is so clean, I can see parts on here that I've never even seen before. I'd ballpeen evenly, paint chrome, add big TSLA logo, and head out to do vital public relations work.
Man, this is heartbreaking.
not really. It is on the outside that counts, and the outside is trashed.Man, this is heartbreaking.

$19,600 is bit low. I'd guess it will fetch $21 or a bit more at Copart. When I totalled my 2013 with 172K miles and very visible wreck damage, I bought it back from insurance co for $19,088, and sold it myself at Copart after stripping mods for $20,200. Not really significant in the grand scheme of things for the OP.
If you wanted to make a trail rig out of a 2015 200, this would be a a great way to do it. I considered doing that with my own rig but the damage was structural, beyond my skill to repair, the body shop didn't want to mess with it if I intended to license it for road use, and I still wanted a safe vehicle that I could drive to Colorado at 80 MPH.
