Thanks for the info on Tesla repairs, I can see this adding significantly to insurance policies
but the most infuriating part is that they will increase everyone else’s premiums to cover these vehicles.

I’ve heard that in a side crash, if the battery case is dented or battery compromised, they write them off in the US as the cost of replacing a structural is horrendous…
