    Exoskeleton body repair cost

    ok so when autopilot decides to smash you into a concrete barrior, what do you think the repair cost will be for fixing the exoskeleton body? It’s not like you have replaceable panels here. 100k in labor? Lol. You’d have to disassemble the entire vehicle to replace it. Dent your truck once...
