A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000.::The repairs cost over half the starting price for the Rivian EV. The owner said he'd expected it wouldn't be cheap, but it was a "shocking number."

It's hard to believe this is a viable business model. Vehicle makers seem to be playing to the top of the market, that's only so big and doesn't seem like a long term thing.

70k and up, hard to believe this can last. Vehicle complexity is insane.
