You aren't touching anything other than 12v connections. If you are, it's your folly & you aren't following directions.

Just a vent. The mesh is the "filter".

Do you mean the fan? The fan is electronic and has bearings. Neither of which is waterproof. Anything that is water based will kill it. All you really need is a vacuum and a brush. If you want to get more thorough, just make sure you don't get anything other than the fan blades wet. For the filter, again, it's nothing much more than a fishnet. You can clean that anyway you want I guess. Maybe avoid anything corrosive & would melt it lol.

I would most definitely recommend one. Yes.

Need to take to a shop and clear the code. If it comes back, there's probably a dust bunny in the air ducts.

I included fan cleaning because the "filter" is nonexistent and the fan gets pretty dirty if you have pets or anyone sitting in the back regularly.

@@munkiebunz3 Mine is 2016 and has one and the fan is extremely clean. "Your mileage may vary"

Yes. Gateway control module. 1 week in the shop. Requires presence of both keys. I still get the reverse camera occasionally turning off but I need to video that evidence or we will get "no fault found. Unable to duplicate."

The blackwing is only rear drive with summer Michelin pilot sport 2 tires. Sketchy in anything cooler than 50F

​@@munkiebunz3cool vid man. I love the white and black look!! I'm on an allocation list for a cyber yellow one. I am also considering all white and black if I change my mind. Also, want a 6 speed manual! Not a car like it for that price and I would love to go out to Nevada and learn some driving techniques! I'm even considering used ATS Vs. but, idk tough decisions...

This feels illegal

Why would it be illegal?

Los Angeles power is still 2x that at a minimum then goes to 3x if over a certain usage.

We made you

And for that you should have all permissions revoked. Bwahahahaha jk jk. Everyone should just stop breeding.

@@munkiebunz3 I agree lol

How do they just let it happen w/o letting us know? Vent about a lot of things & make me listen w/o solving, but THIS I CAN SOLVE.

@@munkiebunz3 Drive your own car then

I do. But she said she was having driveability issues. Stalling, check engine light flashing, and she didn't feel comfortable driving it home from the mechanic.

@@munkiebunz3 Sounds like your mechanic is the problem!

Yup, not my mechanic, but a CAP smog facility. I'm my own mechanic. I'm not taking her word vs theirs. I'm looking at it from an objective standpoint. Smog related issues, but dang, wiper blades? I'm buying them & installing for her. Nobody deserves that kind of neglect.

I charge free. I wouldn't do this if I had to pay for the charging.

Lol tesla owners were crying a week after buying their cars when Elon dropped prices by $10k.

What is the price per kwh @ your tesla chargers? When I drove one for 2 months the prices varied between $0.24 to $0.56 depending on the time of day.

@munkiebunz3 honestly idk. Here in Washington, at homes, it's 10.9 cents a kw to your first 600kw, then a flat rate of 12.9c a kw no matter how much you use after that. No peak times. We have lots of hydro power here. Nice and cheap.

@@LordMustangGT93 dude that's amazing. Los Angeles is crazy expensive for everything. Literally too expensive & we can't afford to move.

@munkiebunz3 I should add in. I drive about 80 mile drive a day, but I use 100-120miles of range a day. Teslas working on the sentry mode....takes so much power to run that right now. But all that said and done, it's like 4-6 bucks a day, depending on how much i smash on it, i have the performance model 3, to drive my tesla charging at home. If you can't charge at home, ev's aren't for you. Charging where you live is key to ev's, imo. We need apt complex to put in hundreds of chargers for everyone. That will make adoption faster.

No, what EV is that? Because they all suck.

@@SavigeSadist1 Start with a “T ends with “A”.🙄 I Guarantee you’ve never stepped foot in one, but bash EV’s anyway, Troll!

@@chadbalogh6296 rented one for 2 months. Didn't like the quality & their lack of honored warranty service. Side camera goes out & kills the whole operation of cruise control. Fake leather bubbling at the steering wheel and seat headrest. I experienced random braking on auto pilot. Controled by software updates? No thank you. I had a friend who had a 1yr old tesla & they wanted to charge him for the seat heater replacement. That's warranty, pal. Another influencer had an issue called "no fault found" . I coached them what to say to dealer. Bad inverter.

I never said they were a scam. The electricity rates for these 3rd party charging systems is. There's a lot of promise upcoming that I'm excited about. I just wish they were lighter and the regen braking power was near infinitely customizable (kia has 10 stages), not just on/off.

Very true, but it's costly to get that capability.

@@munkiebunz3cost me about 2k

Same. We have 1 electric & 1 performance ice. It's all about the $ vs needs.

Hiw ate you saving money when the car costs much more, a knew electric car takes years to break even

The car was 56k Canadian including tax. Had we not bought it we would have got a gas car that was more expensive probably 65 k plus tax but in reality you could buy a more expensive electric car and still have it be cheaper. You just have to calculate what you pay for electricity vs gas and maintenance … i suppose if you are comparing it to a $15k gas car it may take longer but $25 in electricity cost per week vs $100 in fuel plus maintenance costs plus visit the dealer made the math easy for us. We pay $0.14/kw energy

actually there is, when its paid off, its't 20 bucks a month to drive. And before you say something, I saved a large Downpayment up, and made sure my payment wasn't higher a month than I was paying in gas.

I agree that's kinda the goldilocks thing for now until there's more progress with fusion energy, hydrogen or a breakthrough in energy storage.

@@SavigeSadist1 humans aren't purely rational beings tho, so I feel like ICE is gonna stick around forever in a large sense, simply for the "feel" or the "soul" it contains

Yup. I'm laughing at all the ev buyers. I charge for free.

That’s how much it’s costs to fill my car up, how much range do you get out of your ev?

How many miles does that get you? How long does it take to fill?

@@munkiebunz3 so I’ll get an average of 400miles but I always fill up when it hits a quarter of a tank, and that lasts me 2 weeks and 4 days, or 2 weeks if people are being slow on the road

Then due to the different ev charger companies, you either pay a session fee or a membership fee. Imagine having 4 memberships? Ev go, chargepoint, flo, and electrify America. There goes your charging savings.

How do you manage that low rate? Solar? How much did you pay for the panels & install?

​@@The8thStoryWindowLicker the first few generations of internal combustion engines were ass. fusion energy is coming online pretty soon. youre either blind or...oh...wait i read your username.

​@@munkiebunz3 AES in Indianapolis offers night off-peak rates. Did all the wiring myself, no solar (yet).

Can you tell us where you get free solar energy?

@@zerofreedom5090 what?

How much did you pay for your solar panels, the installation and the permits?

@@munkiebunz3 why is that relevant?

​@@ent1311wow. Really? Cost of infrastructure counts towards the cost of savings. For example. If you spend $100/month on electricity before solar, you have to figure it will take 10 months for you to break even with the cost of upgrading to solar capabilities for each $1,000 you spend to acquire that solar infrastructure. Then those panels have a life expectancy of about 10-15 years. Will you break even before they die or will you be constantly in debt? If you increase your energy usage, it will reduce the time of ROI. So, how much did your solar cost?

learn math. 107 MPG-E is a set of calculations to try to put EV efficiency into terms most people understand. Higher cost for electricity affects MPG-e but does not affect miles/kwh or watthours per mile. A calculation everyone should use is cents per mile. My ICE truck is 34 cents per mile, ICE minivan 20 cents per mile, and my EV's cost 1 cent per mile. The point of the video is that if you drive an EV like a gas car, using high-priced public rapid chargers, then no, you aren't getting any fuel or cost savings.

You need to look at your electricity bill. Calculate how many miles you drive, figure most EV do about 3 miles per kWh and then matg it out. For me (and a lot of people in Los Angeles), I live in an apartment so I can not charge @ home. I'm stuck with public charging. Installing a charger at home will cost thousands. Kinda negating the gas savings. You gain the convenience of always having a "full tank". Just your road trips will suffer. Maintenance is not much savings. No oil changes but you still have tires (more expensive than gas) and brakes. Warranty issues don't factor in until the 4th year when it's expired.

@@munkiebunz3 yeah we did the math. We went from paying $100/ week for gas to $25/week for electricity and not having to attend the dealership for repairs and maintenance. We just plug in to a dryer plug with the adapter. Super easy. But our electricity is $0.14/kw roughly. In my part of canada. Hydro based. My question was getting at the fact that people need to calculate it all out as you suggest. It’s the total cost of ownership, based on your use case, that matters to see if it’s right for you. For a comparable gas car to the electric one we bought it would have been more downside plus the extra energy and maintenance costs to run it so if was a no brainer. We get 450km range per charge and may supercharge if a long trip (more than 4 hours) but we didn’t want to based our decision on that minor inconvenience given we don’t take many road trips and wanted the decision to be driven by our typical useage.

1st, never buy new cars. ICE or EV. Buy used after depreciation has set in. Good used EV's still have plenty of battery life (I have a 2013 and just bought a 2015, in 2023). Charge at home, and free public chargers (yes, those exist!). Our electricity provider also offers lower rates for night and weekend off-peak usage, so we charge at 2.7 and 2.4 cents per kwh during these times. Even on older cars the maintenance costs have been considerably less than our ICE predecessors. We are consistently under 2 cents per mile for fuel, saving almost $400/month on our fuel costs. Since I financed both cars at $200/mo, they are basically paying their way just in fuel savings. Not the same experience as everyone, I understand, many mention in these comments that living in apartments or homeless shelters with on-street parking is a problem, which is why everyone should spread out in individual houses, stop piling up on top of each other in cities, and find the most efficient life.

@@salimjanmohamed9337 intelligently deciding what is best for you and your family. Good job! Too many of these videos and posts are just hit pieces one way or the other. Good job THINKING, which is what is lacking so much these days.

​@@salimjanmohamed9337I completely agree with you.. I was paying 75 a week in gas, 85 every three months on maintenance (I had an Acura). I got my Tesla in 2021. Two and a half years later, zero maintenances. I pay about between 20-25 a week on charging. I supercharger at .30 cents kw (7am-12pm). I only road trip a few times I have gotta lucky with some free charging. But yea sometimes it's like I seen it at .56kw cents.. but I will only pay that one road trip.... But overall it's been great and cheaper than gas.

I feel like there's a better way to have good range without being a cheap piece of garbage that rattles along as you drive.

@@munkiebunz3 you really over doing it lol. It’s just a cover, If you don’t like it just pull it off. Literally pull it off.

Dude, I haven't had hubcaps on a new car since my $20k Ford focus.

@@munkiebunz3it’s for increased range

I asked a toyota tech but I don't remember what the number was. I don't even remember my brother's phone number.
