The honeymoon stage of the EV craze is starting to die down. Chevy’s new Blazer EV has been issued a stop sale recall. Meanwhile EV battery repair and replacement costs are piling up and getting out of hand.

LEASING is still a very high risk; remember you have to return that WARRANTIED car at the end of your lease, if they tell you damage voids the warranty – that is on you to restore it to. YouTube search, "$60,000 to replace battery // 2nd IONIQ 5 case confirms battery price!" I think leasing you might feel like you are mitigating the battle – but oh when that car goes in …
Correction : TESLA IS DOING VERY WELL IS JUST THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY WHO WANTS TO CUT CORNERS AND HAVE LIMITED VIEW POIINTS IS SCREWING THEM SELF :))))))
GM Drops Android… Their software: "Hold my beer!"
Early adopters = unpaid R&D workers for auto manufacturers
EV Fanbros continue to attack those that bring these issues up. When they should be attacking the manufacturers for shoddy vehicles. But this goes against their religion that EVs are perfect for everyone now. And by doing this they actually further impede EV adoption.
U.S. MSM is doing a better job of HIDING EV problems.
Nothing new, as I said many times…too expensive boring disposable IT junk.
Evs are a Chinese domination plan to destroy western civilization. Paris accord and wokeness. All a low brained plan
Stupidity at its finest .
Lemon Laws will need to catch up to software-driven vehicles
EV’s are just a leftest ideological dream
All I can say is: GM moment
I have a conspiracy theory that legacy auto companies are intentionally making bad EVs, ruining their EV reputation and EV reputation in general so that they can destroy the demand for EVs, and thus don’t have to sell any (which they sell at a loss). And if the government asks why they aren’t selling any, they can just say the demand isn’t there.
When in reality, the demand isn’t there for their EV‘s. Obviously companies that rely on EV production will find a way to make a compelling product like Tesla and Rivian.
I have been on the car business for two decades, and I'm afraid to say, I told you so.
As someone in my 20s who should be curious to try these new EVs, I feel that these cars are the worst technology ever in terms of reliability and reliability. As Luis Rossman has been saying for years, these new EVs are using innovations to skirt the right to repair practices the car industry has been used to for decades. Most of these cars are too complicated or software locked to be fixed at a 3rd party mechanic or DIY.
Lol. Only the Tesla killers are rubbish.
😂😂😂😂😂 I told yall.!! Just wait watch what’s coming next.😂😂 EV=🗑️
Not to forget that EV’s are more prone to fire and releasing highly toxic materials, creating more pollution than ICE vehicles
Feeling like GM is f*****!
At some point you have to stop and ask: "Just what is it that EV's are supposed to be saving us from?" There is one question that is never addressed that would expose the "climate crisis" for the scam that it is, which is "What percentage of the atmosphere is CO2?" The answer, never given in plain language, is that CO2 is currently around 420 parts per million, (google it) increased, they tell us, from 280 ppm in 1850. That's a difference of 140 ppm, or in terms more readily understood by the layman, the composition of the atmosphere has changed by 0.014% (14 thousandths of 1%) in the last 170 years. LESS THAN 1 THOUSANDTH OF 1% PER DECADE! How much closer to "zero" do they think it's possible to get? How gullible do you have to be to believe that this rate of change is causing extreme weather events, which have always happened and always will? Their claim is that this tiny amount "traps heat". ALL gasses dissipate heat and even if CO2 is an exception, the suggestion that a total of 0.042% can overwhelm the capacity of the remaining 99.958% to dissipate that heat is abject nonsense. CO2 DOES NOT control the global temperature, there is no "climate crisis". Wind farms, solar panels, heat pumps, EV's.. None of these measures are necessary, nor will they have the slightest effect on the weather. Eye-watering sums of money have already been wasted on this futile exercise. Time to wake up, stop throwing our money at these boondoggles and squandering the world's resources on projects that cannot possibly succeed as there never was a problem to begin with. There is no need to save the planet from a minuscule increase in the gas on which all life depends, but it does need to be rescued from idiot politicians and media mouthpieces that push this garbage.
Friends of ours got a Lyric and the car locked them out and they had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. It took them three days to get in the car and reset the system. Nice vehicle but wow.
When you buy an electric car: Step 1): you buy a $55,000 EV. Step 2): after 2 years, you hit a muffler that just fell off from a vehicle ahead of you. Step 3): you take the car into a dealership, only to be told that the battery is damaged and that it will cost you $65,000 to have the battery replaced. This is common now with EV owners; after just a small accident, the entire vehicle is totalled and it is cheaper to buy a new car than to get the old one fixed.
American manufacturers literally have 0 quality control.
BEVs blows. Stick with ICE
geeez definitely released it too early, are these automotive companies being inspired by gaming releases lol
Guess what , EV'S don't hope the environment either, people need to seriously open there eyes to all this nonsense going on in the Automobile industry !!!
Kirk Kreifels Merry Christmas Friend to you and your family 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃🎅🎅🎄🎄💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
Sorry no EV'S for me 👎👎👎👎
It’s almost like EVs are a scam, “fixing” a problem that doesn’t even exist.
Tesla still has the best software problem is they can listen to all your conversations when in the car. EVs are finished.
the very first blazer ev had a $30,000 markup locally to me lol, i dont feel bad for whoever bought it
You should look up transport boats for cars huge ships burning down with EV’s doing the burning
Wow. I’ve had zero issues with my 2018 Model 3 <knock on wood> it’s easily been the best car I’ve ever owned. Surprised there are still so many issues with non Tesla EVs in 2023.
These businesses don't take software development seriously. They rush through the development by cutting corners. They don't hire good developers. They don't hire good software managers. It's a shit show.
I had a 2017 Chevy Cruze that had an issue with the software. Literally just went blank out of nowhere and had to be replaced towards end of my lease.
The Car Care Nut just did a video on those cheap battery replacements. They are a very poor option.
well, would you look at that? Someone bought a EV, didn’t like it and now he loves his V-8! The moral of the story is, buy a V-8!!!!🤷🏾♂️
EVs are like smart phones, you always struggle with charging and software updates, and the battery is useless after 3 years…
You've been warned…
🚫GM🚫
Except for Tesla of course
Dont fix what is not broken. I love my gas-powered Toyota. In the last 23 years, the two Toyotas I have owned have been reliable, predictable, and affordable. Zero interest in EVs. Hybrid? Maybe but EV is a 100% hard pass.
Hybrids are the way to go. Cars don’t even contribute to pollution as much as people think.
Check the new Reuters investigation about Tesla defective parts.
we just gonna pretend ford's non EV recalls havent been in the billions? cool selective observation, kirk. GM is smoking dust tho. CarPlay isnt great but whatever they're cooking up on the software side is guaranteed to be worse. they need to separate infotainment from function
the F150 with thousand dollar taillights is the lightning?
Electric cars don’t need a lot of technology. Just make it drivable and reliable.
Is nothing tested anymore? Why are we buying broken expensive stuff. The average buyer has conditioned themselves to buy more & more car whether they need it or not. Base model “reliable” cars with lower tech and fewer features that break became less desirable. We’ve been on a hunt for the newest tech in cars for the last 10 years. Things clearly aren’t being quality controlled enough.
