Guaranteed. That is as far as the breakdown in parts inventory goes (and what they get from suppliers). It's not a Rivian thing, it's a worldwide thing for decades. Unless DIY, and using parts salvaged from donor assemblies, the days of replacing individual parts are long gone.
Also, Amazon Fresh did not go belly up. Late last year Amazon decided it overlapped their Whole Foods business too much and decided it was redundant. As much as I enjoy convenience of Amazon Fresh, the business case was always suspect.
Or you could just take yours to a reputable local powder coater to be redone properly. Probably not more than a few hundred bucks
Unless the coating is compromised from dragging on hard surfaces… rust is usually due to low quality control during coating process… resulting in a porous coating...
The difference is Subaru will update their system when you buy the newer version of their car. Like nearly all legacy OEMs, the tech they have is outsourced from a handful of automotive suppliers. And what you drive off of the dealer lot is what you have for your entire duration of ownership...

It's funny they use the Land Rover name to make the content more click-baity. JLR has been struggling for 10+ years. And the new Defender didn't really deliver a rebound. Maybe just a stay of execution. One by one, the legacy brands are making themselves more and more irrelevant. It's already...
I work in advertising and have worked on videos and stills for multiple OEMs. Color reproduction is a big part of the job, in any medium. What you said is not how it works.
And I've said this ad nauseam: These are metallic paints. Metallic paints have little fine metal flakes that act like...
