That "truck" is truly one of the dumbest designs I've ever seen. It's right there with the "DeLorean" and uglier than the "Edsel". You can't repair a dent in stainless steel, or even a scratch in

You work on an EV like any other vehicle. The short answer to your 2nd question is you learn how and why cars break and people crash into stuff. I have a lot of experience with that. I've been driving for 47 years and I've never c
