[@iaincaillte3356]

American automakers are still operating under the delusion that they will make money as a subscription service for navigation, entertainment, and self-driving technologies. Maybe that would work if you're selling cars for $20,000. But for $60,000+, people have spent enough money without obligating themselves to infinity (the time period not the car). At its most basic, people buy a car because they need to get from A to B reliably and cheaply, not live out their existence in an exotic dream world. Apparently, the only ones inhabiting a dream world are car company executives.

Hate all the missing dipsticks too. Just today I had my transmission fluid changed on my 2014 Toyota Avalon XLE. I would have tried to do it myself but honestly I’m afraid to mess up. So I had an appointment with the dealer at 7:00am this morning. $485 Had all fluids changed at 60,000 miles and now at 100,000 I felt it was due for transmission fluid change. I still do oil changes myself every 5,000 miles or 6 months. I’ll be flushing the radiator fluid soon, too. $485. $250 for labor, $27 in taxes $26 in shop/environmental fees and the rest was the actual trans fluid.$182. Must be some golden fluid. Oh well. While I was there I looked at some new cars. Crown was $56,000 Tundra $72,000. I guess the $485 was cheap comparatively!

[@johnweiland9389]

Take the one you bought for a replacement. Ask them to test it. Ive gone through 3 starters before I got one that works.

[@Chow-Guy]

I have a 2008 Chrysler T & C LTD with V6 that I bought in 2011 with 50K miles on it. It now has 150K and never had a major problem. Also have a 2007 Toyota Solara V6 Convertible that I bought with 9K miles in 2010. It now has 140K miles and never had a major problem, except the piece of crap dash that's cracked to pieces. I never got the notification from my dealer that they got the dash to replace mine. By the time I decided to try to get it replaced, I was one month too late. I do most of my own maintenance, except the timing belts on both cars at the correct intervals. I have used only full synthetic oil in both of them since I got them. Neither one has ever been wrecked, and I did Oil changes at 7,000 miles or less, with only top of the line oil filters. Neither car uses oil or makes any odd noises in the motor. Both are in very good condition, and I expect to keep them both for at least another 50k miles each, or 5 years. I don't want anything newer than 2010.

There is a simple solution to the cable stealing problem - just have sockets on the charging stations instead of cables and make customers bring their own cables! Another solution would be a retractable cable that would be released after a payment is made by a credit card or an app. But instead of retractable cables that would make sense, Tesla makes useless and stupid retractable door handles that often break!

[@user-jt4fy4od9r]

One particular Tesla model has retractable door handles. not all of them. The socket you mention is used widely here in Europe but only for A/C charging. a D/C supercharger cable is way too big and heavy to carry around. As for vandalism, protestors in Germany recently committed arson, setting light to a local power substation in an effort to prevent Tesla production. People don't like change.

Mr. Mercedes with power issues check for rodent damage before buying a new ignition switch. If a rodent eats through certain wires it can cause a lot of electrical issues. Look for droppings or nesting materials. Don’t overlook the wiring inside the car under the dash.

Older S-Class Mercedes-Benzes have a module for sensing whether or not the light bulb in the trunk is burned out. And, it doesn't set the check engine light, but when you connect the scan tool to it more likely than not, it's going to tell you that the module has gone bad before it tells you that the light bulb is burned out!

You'll lose around 3 to 5% of battery capacity per year, no matter what. So, if the original range was 200 miles, you're down to 120 miles after 10 years. Then, if you live in an area where it gets to below zero every year, battery capacity is further reduced by around 50%, which brings the range down to 60 miles. Then, if you're stuck in a 2 hour traffic jam in rush hour during an evening snow storm, your lights, defrost, cabin heat, wipers, denser cold air and snow further reduce range by 50%. Then, you're down to 30 miles range and praying to God you can make it home without freezing to death.

At -15, you can probably expect up to about 50% range decrease." -Ed Woodrick, TeslaOwnersOnline, November 16, 2021 (I'm in Minnesota. It got down to -28F not long ago. No, not windchill. Ambient temperature was -28F.)

Nobody want's them. With the mileage they say EV's get, I could drive to work and home for two day's, then it would take 3 days to charge it on an at home 220AMP plug in, and that's in the summer. Winter? forget it.

I will never buy electric, especially Chinese made electric.

[@timcory4455]

You are a wise man! But many people who are EV believers will. May God save their souls.

I bought a black chinese scooter back in 2007 and it lasted me until this year. Someone stole it while I was gone from home. I sure miss the chinese scooter.

[@throttlebottle5906]

you already do, everything is chinese made electronics/electrical. including the device your on to watch this video and post comments, not to mention your wifi, isp, cellular data, microwave, oven, furnace, boiler, all vehicles/....... well you get the idea. 🤣 maybe using a horse and hand built buggy you can avoid it all.

And they steal the hoses at gas stations used to inflate tires....what a great world.

They may be practical for some people. Not me.

I drive a 2003 Saturn Ion with 350K (kms, 220 K miles), so there! I know, I got lucky, and I wouldn't try it today even if Saturn was still around.

I took a copper vent pipe to the recycler and got $85 dollars for it. Those wires have to be worth more than that. Okay, it was when copper prices were much higher, but they're still high. Not good.

I have 247,000 miles on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0 Straight Six, manual Transmission. It gets 17 MPG. I love it. ❤

Bro what the hell does that have to do with this vide lmao

[@biometal770]

Scotty makes an excellent point with respect to cars. Americans decided to get out of the car business because honda and toyota have made better products for years. This shows American car companies cant look past next quarters earnings, and by proxy don't care a hoot about the American public or their workers.

I wonder what Henry Ford would be thinking right now

[@tracysmith9934]

The ONLY electric items that's good is tools when in a remote area

Is it for real this time. I want believe it until the dirt is settled.

[@wcmwfab935]

We should be able to buy any import.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

unfortunately many companies/recyclers will buy the cables, same with catalytic converters
