The whole economy of EV's today is still pure jank and shenanigans. The batteries are like 95% of the value, and the rest just filler around it. Better or worse, a salvaged Tesla at least will be resold, dissected, and broken down into a quantifiable parts to probably be made into some retro EV conversion, being the first and longest studied means people at least know how to hack around them. Not so on most of these latecomers to the game, which means mostly they're fodder to be learned from. Insurance companies are along for the ride, which I'm sure they hate, but they've had it good for so long with low-hanging fruit, I just say "good". As usual anything from the SE Asia markets is probably 100x worse for lack of documentation and industry know-how still being new, the best hope is they follow a somewhat standard mode of operation from Tesla folks know, otherwise no one will want to work on them, reuse them, etc. I don't follow the industry that GM or Ford are any better really. At least Tesla parts are well known at this point for classic car EV conversions, and will likely be the go-to for the near-term future. People buy wrecked ones all day every day, they'll become underpinnings for classic conversions if nothing else, but the rest - to be determined.
