Okay, the repair Bill cost was not at all startling. I’ve been reading how they’re totaling these cars for minor accidents. However what’s left out of this story is the conclusion.

Did the other insurance company up their offer? Did the vehicle get totaled? Is his insurance company suing the other driver’s Insurance Company? Did he end up walking away from the car or did he pay to have it fixed?

I don’t know why it’s so difficult for the people who write these stories to actually follow up

It is very possible that is the current situation. Solutions don’t happen over night, they take time.

We used to know that but IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION is the common note of many these days.

This is worthy of consideration because many of the activities that promote instant gratification are linked to unhealthy behaviors.

So many here on FR want instant gratification. The battle is long and hard and worthy. Electing Trump was just the start, and we are beginning to see a lot of momentum.

The Tesla’s have unibody construction. The frame comes out of a casting machine in two pieces. So, if part of the frame gets bent, you can not just cut off the rear and weld or bolt on a new section. Plus they are made out of aluminum alloy. Not steel.

The cyber truck is supposed to be cast out of one machine. The whole frame and cab. One big piece of aluminum alloy from front to back.
