Deer hit the front end... repair cost?

[RivianRunner]

Ha! Will be $20k, easily. Speaking from (unfortunate) experience.

That doesn't sound right, it's mostly superficial damage.

Unfortunately, I think the repair cost will be shocking.

Made me look

made me look toooo.. because I thought 100lb sounded like a small deer.
from Kansas Wildlife and Parks Dept.
An adult whitetail buck will rarely stand over waist-high to the average man and the belly may only be a mere 23 inches from the ground. The average weight is between 100 to 300 lbs, however, a Kansas buck that dresses over 250 pounds is big.

Ugh I’m sorry man. Someone out here was rear ended and it pushed in the back quarter panel. Had to remove the roof? That’s what they said at least. Something like $35-45k. Insanity.

These stories of repair costs and wait times spell trouble for for the business model Rivian is following. This article on Tesla owners seems particularly interesting...

REminds me to not take my $0 wildlife deductible for granted

Cost of repairs is up to $33,000.00. Still waiting on the vehicle. The certified repair shop is now fighting with the insurance company over payment of supplemental repairs. The saga of Rivian repair continues.
