    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.

    Those electric charging stations should have a pull out hose that pulls back into the machine when you're done so you can't access the hose unless you scan your card. They will come up with that soon I'm sure. I bet you some people are just sabotaging them because they don't like electric cars.

    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!

    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.

    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! And connecting a scan tool that reads everything properly, is going to show all sorts of faults that have nothing to do with the engine controls and emissions controls...

    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
      @user-jt4fy4od9r 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    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.

    The thing is the majority of American would eagerly buy a reliable affordable car that says “Made in the USA”. But they don’t exist.
