I will be you that horizontal crease by the light isn't factory perfect either. You can watch the vid I guess if you want to check quality. Obviously it doesn’t take 40k to fix though and takes a fraction. Other driver must of not had insurance as the guy was the Rivian was rearended.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted October 9, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted October 9, 2023 What size diesel generator is needed to power 98 250kwh chargers? They said a small one behind a gas station powers the supercharger? 😂. Sweet click bait article for the gullible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it was a slightly harder hit...paintless is good but once into that bend at the tail light all bets are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a pretty significan dent. Did you watch the vid of the guys repair to determine the quality of it for yourself?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point which you always seem to miss is that a conventional repair would have been 40k. Luckily a paintless dent guy was willing to take it on because he could make out like a bandit putting it on youtube. There were dozens of comments on the vid from guys in the same business that said it was something they wouldn't have taken on. So is everyone that has a damaged rivian supposed to tow it to Florida so this guy can fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More paintless dent people might be willing to tackle this with this vid. I would shop around if I got a 40k estimate for that repair. This wasn’t a 40k repair in the end…. Not even close.

Did in this case…. The “certified” collision shop quoted $41k for this job. Before and after paintless dent removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
