      A few month ago i saw a video where a guy dented his rivian on the rear left. A classic dent for a utility car, especially when you use trailers. The body shop they went to suggested it’s a 40k repair job because how the car was build. This shit is absolutely fucked

        They’d DRM gas if they could. And Tesla already did DRM fast electrons
