Rivian R1T R1S Deer hit the front end... repair cost? 1716935696508-xq


Unfortunately, I think the repair cost will be shocking.

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.

Update on repairs. Initial insurance adjuster said $5200. Repair shop is up to $26000.00 in repairs right now and unknown completion date. 2 weeks in the shop so far.

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...

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.
