The Nuttiest Bit Of New Car/EV Lunacy Yet - New Hyundai Ioniq Totaled After Hitting Minor Bump

And once again you are guilty of lumping all EV and the companies that make them together as if by magic. Why not educate yourself before you rant your universal salad of garbage.
This is just your way of lighting off the lunacy of your viewers keeping them as dumb as you insist on being yourself.
Not all EV's are the same. There is one clear leader in this space. They are not having the issues those playing catch up are. Tesla is the only company who are doing it correctly.

One thing you missed is that there aren't enough suckers lining up to buy out of warranty EVs. Factor that into the price of owning an EV.

Hopefully in ten years EV’s will just become obsolete memory of stupidity!

Only very wealthy people can afford to have these “throw away” EVs if there is an issue costing more than a new purchase.

EV's are disposable cars with no resale value and not meant to be repaired, as the cost would eat the profit of a hundred sales. EV's would bankrupt every automaker that touches them. Battery disposal isn't yet in focus. Girds everywhere are barely holding with a tiny fraction of EV's on the road, just because one fast charger uses up to 35 residential homes worth of energy. Doesn't take many cars to melt cables.

When Steve Jobs did the revolutionary thing, and started marketing phones with sealed-in non-replaceable batteries, there was an uproar, but it didn't last. Consumers accepted the trend. I joked that if the car manufacturers could weld the gas tank shut on new cars, they would. Run out of gas - buy a new car. If they had the means, they absolutely would. EV's are almost like that.

My vehicle has one metre of ground clearance. My vehicle does not bottom out.

Please do not start a sentence with, "and." It makes you tremendously less believable and makes others question your ability to retain information. I being a secondary user of English know the basic rule of not starting a sentence with a conjunction. If you use English as your primary language or secondary language, the basics should be well known. If the essential basics of a language are not known to you, it makes you easily disregardable as any credible source.

You have to be either someone that lives in the city or rather slow to own an electric car.

I’m still mad they replaced hand winding watches with battery run ones that all require different size batteries that cost money. I have two good ones in my drawer now because I can’t get the backs off and have to bring it to the jeweler. Besides that, I don’t like the idea of having a battery on my body all the time. Or a gigantic battery pack under my seat in the car.

Come on TONY - you have been guilty of driving a hybrid energy vehicle for decades. Look under the bonnet - what do you see - a petrol engine and a 12V battery - please stop the hypocrisy. HA- CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Can EVs drive on dirt roads?

One thing we all have to remember is every single EV that gets totaled for this silly cheap crap design of them is hurting all of our premiums even if you never ever owned an electric vehicle... We all are subsidizing them...again!!!😮🤯🤬

Funny! Ironically in August of '23 I was hit by someone who ran a stop sign driving a '18 Nissan car. I was driving a '95 dodge truck. The Nissan was completely disabled, my truck was still drivable. The insurance company totaled both vehicals then demanded I surrender my truck to them. I passed on that, the first time... the second time... the third time... and on the fourth time they said they were going to have a tow truck at my house withing an hour I told them that anyone attempting to remove my truck from my possession would be met with extream hostility and their tow truck would become apart of my landscaping, they no longer wanted my truck.

I have zero sympathy for idiots that buy these accidents waiting for a place to happen

Good video, thank you sir. 😎👍

When you buy something that has government subsidies you better think twice.😂

Debi just doesnt understand. But she thinks we wont have to rewire the entire electrical grid to make her e.v. dream come true.

I'm all for economic choice but the choices need to be reasonable.

Just traded in an EV because we got spooked from all the fires and were contemplating spending thousands of dollars for the blanket to cover it Incase of fire…cleaning out glove box and there’s a paper inside that says you’re supposed to have the battery checked every month…dealer never said anything about that SEVEN MONTHS ago…I’m putting it in our Stupid Tax file

The only way to make sense of it, it to conclude this is all by design. Corrupted corporate capitalism.

"I told you... Benny. Bring me everyone." - Lt Stansfield, The Professional

So basically a bottom out or a curb hit with the tires can brick an EV. Insanity.

It's not your imagination. This world has lost it's mind completely.

"Why are you making it this small and this fragile?"
We know why. At $100 bucks a pop (minimum) it comes under "designed to fail."

Why would ANYONE buy an EV after hearing about this?

Is there anything to the idea that Hyundai and others are only making e cars because of government mandates and they really don't want to make them?

I see SO MANY headlights,tailights, and all other running lights out on new cars. Something isn't right.

'In purchasing this EV product, you have agreed to the following reductions in your discretionary time, wealth & life opportunities... We thank you for supporting our ongoing efforts to criminalise everything that supports & sustains human wellbeing & life on our planet :-)'

I suspect ICE resale prices are going to be climbing steadily - Who’d buy a used EV, with no idea when you’ll get hit with a battery replacement? (Never mind the silly repair places for taillights, body panels, etc.)

Maybe EVs are good for camping or a barbeque?

Agreed

We need people like you to inform us of the dangers and stupidities of EV vehicles because main steam media won't ... :)
Cheers !!

Vote ‘none of the above’ - politicians need us but WE DO NOT NEED THEM. Just ignore them and they will go away. All of them are controlled puppets - ALL OF THEM.

I'm sure the climate alarmists will push for legislation preventing insurance companies from charging a premium for policies on EVs to force others to pay the added cost to cover the risk.

I've seen loads of Tesla's here in Hertfordshire, England..... They make no sound, because They're always on the back of tow trucks.
These oversized R/C toys are overpriced rubbish. 😮

so there is no issue with the battery, yet they need to replace it for $61K, wonder what the price was for the the battery protection cover price? But to be safe just in case that will be $61K thank you.

Similar story circulating about another EV manufacturer's product. Car was leased, though, and insurance company would not declare total loss. Driver stuck paying lease for unusable vehicle until broken plastic coolant nipple repaired by independent garage. I think this was on channel "Rich Rebuilds".

No desire to ever own an EV. This push for EVs is a huge scam.

This is an excellent detail-oriented description of what happened. Thank you very much.

Their selling batteries the car is an add on.😂

There is a lot of effort going into improving the cost and reliability of batteries. But none of the "new" technologies are ready for prime time. I think that there will come a time when EVs are affordable and reliable. I also think that I will not live long enough to see it. Although, if only you could believe the reporting, the battery revolution is right around the corner.

My 20 yr old Lincoln Towncar purred right thru the recent icy weather. At some point… eventually… maybe in a few more years.. it’ll need some new tires.. but that’s about it.

Your list of things left out the cause for bottoming out that infuriates me. Speed bumps, intentionality creating a road hazard. My truck has a bit more clearance so I drive faster on streets with speed bumps.

What year and model is that Plymouth behind you? It looks like a car my dad used to have when I was a kid! BTW, I come from a family of mechanics and drag racers.

Mid roll adds= bye

How many electric cars are now " flood cars" and are now "totaled" in Florida and other areas with salt water shorting batteries......?

Regular humans that don't measure in mm are 3 countries, in the world😂

The whole EV thing is a scam.

You should make a secondary channel called "Uncle Tony's dark side of vehicle tech" where you bring up this kind of stuff, and catalog it for future reference, since we'll need the knowledge later.

I think we got a Karen only her name is Debi.
