Pre-2024 Kona? 2024 redone one seems to have grown. And looks a lot better imo, in a robot-style way.

Why Subaru Batteries Are Dying All Across The Country - The Autopian
“Hi David! Car question for you. My battery died and needs to be replaced,” my friend texted me the other week about her 2019 Subaru Outback. AAA had apparently told her she needed to buy an AGM battery or she’d see premature failure, but there were no AGMs available nearby. “He… said that the...

I'm no engineer, but isn't that by design? I thought the steel panels were supposed to be structural?

To me it looks like there is a structure a structure in the picture that I would consider is a frame? I would never expect the panel to be anything but a cover of the actual structure?
I know hating Tesla is cool these days but fake news is not cool.

at the intro event it was said it was going to be a monocoque
but ultimately it's not, so the panels are indeed not structural.
This was my first vehicle given to me as a hand me down from the parents in high school. Loved that thing.
Looks like the stay puffed marshmallow man left a turd on the street.Saw one of these things last night.
Front shocks and brakes and what have you, but that actual job, no. I can't imagine it's difficult.
With the exception of most trucks and probably some Chrylser products all cars today are of monocoque or unibody construction.
That being said rear quarter panels are usually part of the structure but not always. As they are the most commonly damaged you want those easily replaced not to mention not compromising structural integrity from denting a fender. The external parts of the car that are part of the unibody are the pillars, roof, and believe it or not, the windshield.

the only Chrysler product these days is the Pacifica. which is definitely unibody.
for all my (body on frame) Land Cruiser's various traits, I can't fault its road isolation abilities. even with KO2s no doubt thrumming away at the road surface barely any makes it up into the cabin.
the Town Car/Crown Vic was the last body on frame car proper.
too lazy to look for camper thread

In my experience car batteries last 5 years. I am pushing 6 years on mine so I should probably start parking in places where I can roll downhill and pop start the thing.
