Along with the other things mentioned, Tesla hasn’t been good with insurance repairs. They have such a backlog with parts and service that insurance companies have been totalling a lot of vehicles that are repairable because they would take too long to repair.
Especially so with the cybertruck because there’s no way use bondo and paint, there’s only a few specialist Delorean shops that can rework stainless panels. That means only complete panel replacement, which is a complicated procedure on the CT because it mostly uses adhesive rather than fasteners to attach body panels. It’s like a supercar, they don’t design them to be repaired, because they don’t want them to be repaired.
