Very interesting.

I guess these giga casts are not very repairable.

Reparability hurts profit.

Every collision with body damage fixed by an autobody shop is stealing money from our overlords.

There are ways to repair, but even with more repairable methods, labor is so expensive that you likely totaled the car if you get to that level of damage.
