Toyota plans to make electric car bodies in the same style as Tesla's "gigacasting." But the resulting EVs might be too hard to repair.

    As mentioned in another thread, there is a paintless dent repair video on YT of a fix done to the corner of a Rivian rear bumper

    The owner claimed that he was quoted $41K. To do the work, they would need to cut the body all the way up to the front of the roof

    The PDR fix was close to perfect in this case
