Zach at Jerry Rig Everything snapped the hitch and nearby frame off his cybertruck with an excavator (for science!), and Tesla repaired it for him and let him film the repair. They have a really impressive adhesive that lets them replace partial panels. (One neat engineering speck in the sea of Tesla awfulness.)
It might not be that the truck is truly unrepairable, but it's a relatively expensive repair, and insurance weighed the immediate cost plus future liability (the repair will always be blamed for future problems even if it's not really the culprit) and decided totaling was the best decision for their business model.
It's really impressive to stick the tow hitch to the back with glue?
The repair was the frame (the hitch took quite a bit with it), but no, the impressive part was gluing a pair of 2" cylinders, tying a rope to either end, and picking the truck up with it.
Well when the entire frame is composite...no.
