Can a Tiny Bump Total Your $65K EV?

Imagine barely tapping a UPS truck and suddenly worrying your $65K Rivian SUV might be totaled. That’s what happened to one R1S owner after a cracked light bar and a small dent. Turns out, repairs on these high-tech EVs can spiral into five-figure bills—one guy paid over $21K for a corner ding! But there’s hope: some owners are finding cheaper fixes with DIY skills and second-hand parts. Still, even a tiny fender bender can mean big drama when your ride is packed with sensors. #EVLife #CarDrama #Rivian #Cars
