It’s amazing how we now use Tesla as a comparison piece of “Example of a bad car” lol
Well, Tesla’s are really really bad when it comes to repairing the car yourself
Well yeah! That’s what I’m saying
Yep, and this means jack shit to the majority of people on this planet.
Exacerbated by equally poor quality control.
Maybe the battery, but I have full service manuals and could make any repair myself if I was inclined to do so and had the tooling.
Anyone else miss his old videos? No doubt he’s the repair man we need right now, but the nostalgia is strong this morning :-|
What’s your favorite?
I’m not sure I have a single stand-out favorite, I remember the metcal soldering station unboxing just because I was gobsmacked by the price and the automatic tip cleaner.
But the ones I’m talking about are just the random laptop repair where he would casually troubleshoot something apple had told the customer was unrepairable. Cracking jokes about the latest cease-and-desist letter he’d received as he pulls up apple schematics watermarked with some Russian website and replaces a burnt out component :-)
Because it’s a Hyundai. I’m not surprised one bit.
I mean, work on my Hyundai has been reasonably priced, considering that all dealerships charge way too much for service.
But can yours be stolen?
I mean anything can be stolen, but mine has a push button start and a manual gearbox, so at least here in the states I’m fairly safe.
I mean yeah, but have you heard of the Hyundai/Kia Thefts recently? They don’t have immobilizers
Yeah but those are using the standard ignition switches, not the push start. They pull the dash down and are able to use a USB cause it’s about the right size to turn the ignition cylinder from the inside. With a push button I don’t have a cylinder to turn, that method won’t work.
Hyundai without immobilizers that can be stolen aren’t push button start ones, they’re ones where you stick a USB flash drive into the wheel to get it to turn over
I know.
Nope, it can’t.
My Hyundai was stolen off my drive in mere seconds - I was kind of impressed watching it back on the doorbell cam footage.
Cheaper to buy than the equivalent Japanese car, more expensive to repair than the equivalent European car. Buy a Hyundai 👍
Electronics companies have gotten away with needing expensive proprietary dongles and other such nonsense for years. Car companies have seen this success and they want it.
That, and subscriptions for car features.
It doesn’t stop until people stop buying.
