Viral YouTuber Who Wrecked GMC Hummer EV Says Repairs Would Cost $78,000 | Carscoops carscoops
, and damage was done to the A/C condenser, the radiator for the battery cooling system, the rear tie-rod, and more.
In fact, the damage went further than that, because, according to Barseghian, the “rear frame was two and a half inches higher on the right side than on the left side”. That, in turn, caused body panels to buckle and panel gaps to emerge. “The damage was $78,000 with parts and labor,” Barseghian said. “Getting the parts was the issue, because a lot of the parts weren’t available. I did not go through insurance. I just wrote it off as a loss. I sold it for much lessEven though he estimates that he has taken a roughly $80,000 loss, Barseghian says that he does not regret the accident. He is, however, disappointed by the vehicle, claiming that its weight may be to blame for the extent of the damage.
“It was such a minor bump, it really was nothing,” Barseghian said. “But because the truck weighs so much, the frame [was] just completely destroyed. Also, I had traction control off, because I wanted to go sliding, but that dumps the suspension, so the suspension had no travel at all.” He says, though, that there is a silver lining to all of this, because historically, he has written off one car every five years: “I’m glad I’ve met my quota on this car rather than one of my supercars. So basically all of my supercars are safe for the next five years.”
