Poor little rich kid

Guy buys a Porsche Taycan, because he loves Porsches, and EVs are the future.  Brand new, the vehicle was $200k, but he gets it used as a 2021 (with only 6k miles), and pays "only" $110k.  He brings it to the shop to fix something else and they notice a tiny dent on the underside.  It damaged the battery, and it will cost $72k to fix, thus totalling the car.  Poor guy.

Update:  It will only cost him $44k to replace the battery, and it is covered by insurance.  His premiums are probably going to go up.
