Listening to the parts damage, the Cybertruck was definitely not made do be repaired - I don't know how surprised I am with that. New products are highly modular and rarely built to be repaired. Just the labor costs usually add up to some serious money.
We are definitely a throw away society - I mean take any EV and the battery replacement alone makes that a sketchy proposition from a cost standpoint when they get to that age, but most new cars (not just EV's) aren't far away from that themselves if you take it to a repair shop.

I've seen other articles that showed very high costs of parts & collision repairs on these, not surprised at what they are saying here.
