Tesla's Two-Piece Trunk: Game Changer or Cost-Cutting?
The refreshed Model Y's new two-piece trunk is raising eyebrows. Is this a genuine move towards improved repairability and potentially lower insurance premiums, or is it a cleverly disguised cost-cutting measure by Tesla?

Others see it as a direct response to insurance industry pressure, ultimately benefiting the consumer. Could this design also signal a shift in Tesla's philosophy, prioritizing repairability over absolute production efficiency?
