Discussion Why Are So Many EVs Being Declared Total Loss After Small Accidents?

I keep seeing more and more stories in the US where relatively small EV accidents end up becoming total losses.

Not necessarily because the damage looks catastrophic but because battery inspections, sensor systems, structural parts, and repair costs have become insanely expensive. Some owners are also waiting months for parts, especially for Teslas and newer EV models.

At some point, people will start asking a serious question: are modern EVs becoming too expensive to repair realistically?
