    In curious what would happen in a electric vehicle in this situation.

    The computer would momentarily show that it had 100,000 mile range.

    No two gasoline/diesel vehicles have the same damage from a lighting strike. I suspect that would be true of electric vehicles.
    Airliners average about one lighting strike per year, BTW.

    First phase estimate..
    My go to X Rush technician says it’s cheap and very labor intensive. He had his service manager look it over.

    All the parts it’s needing so far is like a foreign language to me so here’s a couple screenshots of what I got.
    Since it’s all on the insurance, how we proceed is their call. I’ll probably have to put up the initial deposit unless in’s co has a better way of handling it.

    All for now, looking for flights back home since one part is currently nowhere to be found. IMG_4291.png IMG_4292.png IMG_4290.png

    I’ll be shocked if that’s all it needs.

    No pun intended.

    Here’s hoping….

    Those parts will just open the window to the rest of the damage. Looks like I’ll have the rest of the summer to lounge by the pool and beer fridge.
    Can’t afford to buy meat for my new grill now so the cats better not aggravate me :)
