"You know what happens when you get a golfball-sized dent in the undercarriage of a Tesla? It’s totaled. Because the batteries are welded into that plate, so if the dent is too big to pound out you have to rip out the electrics to fix it"
I don't think that one is entirely true. The batteries are in removable modules and there's a 3rd party that services the batteries for ~$5k

I wonder if the dent of this size can cause the removable tubes to stick in a way that it would be dangerous to try to mechanically force them out?
