I’m not even a libshit, Elon-hater or jumping on a bandwagon.This truck is unironically a huge piece of shit that is in no way worth its $100,000 minimum price tag. What was Tesla thinking? Did they even think at all?

>>27644497>if something goes wrong with the screen
>>27643132Whatever you may think of the outside styling, the look, the interior features, whatever, is completely irrelevant. Underneath all that is approaching sci-fi levels of tech that no other car maker is even close to replicating. The die cast frame pieces, 48v architecture, etc etc. They are leading in technology development.

Hello tourist. Just so you know, this board often has a dedicated thread for simple questions like these. It is normally titled /QTDDTOT/, which stands for "Questions that don't deserve their own thread".For your convenience, here is our current open thread:>>27628775 I'd like to encourage you to look around a bit longer and get a 'lay of the land' (especially before making your own thread)./o/ is a place to share the joy of automobiles so likewise, we're always happy to lend a helping hand!Good luck with your question , and we hope you can come to an answer swiftly
What is the most legit, hardcore racing series? Formula One or Rally?
f1 has that gypsy zoomer who won the last race and who I hate much more than Hamilton.On the other hand, WRC has whiny and unbearable idiots like Ott Tanak who is not even that good (Ogier also complains a lot but at least he is an absolute master) and who disgust me. WRC2 would be a good show if Yohan Rossel died this weekend and maybe then I would go back and watch. ERC would also be much better without Efren Llarena (I hate fat people a lot) and without Jesús Suárez whom I also hate for remaining champion of Spain for a thousand years but charging in WRC2 against much more talented drivers like my boy Sami Pajari, whom I also hate a little to get rid of Enni Malkonen. TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE DEATH TO ALL MOTOR SPORTS.

>>27641938>>27641948>You now remember the Toyota VenzaNo idea they still made these. Forget about beige Camrys, this is a car so NPC that even car autists forgot they still exist 15 years after beginning production.
>>27641973Incorrect. While the ZDX is similar in shape, it's on the larger Pilot/MDX/Odyssey platform while the Crosstour stuck with the smaller Accord mechanicals.
>>27645301>what is ACE Body StructureThey do share, cope harder
>>27645514>marketing buzzword for how they design unibodies (not one specific design)try again sweatyhttps://www.hondainfocenter.com/Shared-Technologies/Safety/Advanced-Compatibility-Engineering-ACE-Body-Structure-All/Every car they make is designed this way. Does that mean the 2006 Civic (the debut car for ACE) is a rebadge of a Pilot? https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/new-cars/2011-165-zdx-advance/>No, it's not the Acura version of the Honda Odyssey Crosstour. They may share the same fastback styling, but they're based on different platforms. The Crosstour is an oversized Accord, while the ZDX is truck-based.https://web.archive.org/web/20100529200702/http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/05/2010-acura-zdx-suspension-walkaround.html>I know what you're thinking. "Acura ZDX? Didn't you just do a walkaround on the Honda Accord Crosstour, Honda's other sloped-back hatchback crossover thingamabob? Aren't they badge-engineered twins?">Nevertheless, Honda came out with two cars with this odd form-factor at about the same time, and it turns out they couldn't be more different under the skin.

I love my mopeds! :DAnyone else still of have of these in their barn?
>>2764358250cc. Spa. 5k is in the off position. 19 is where it needs to be.Honda had four stroke 250cc four stroke bikes for the public that went to 20k back in the nineties.
>>27643578Uk, I can only speak for here. Moped 50cc is legal at 16 as your basic learner vehicle on your learner permit. I'm heading into my sixties and I've crashed more mopeds than my old bones would wish.
>>27643578Prior to republicans ruining my state, there was no license required for mopeds 50cc or smaller. When I was a teenager in the 90s we would ride them everywhere and it was a blast. Sometime around 2010, republicans got mad that people who lost their license in a DUI could still ride a moped to work and retain gainful employment.Of course this enrages the conservative, so the republican supermajority passed a law to require an active drivers license to ride a moped so that anyone who gets a DUI will have no choice but have their life completely destroyed until they have to go on welfare.
>>27644847>people who lost their license in a DUI could still ride a moped to work and retain gainful employment.This is still pretty common where I live, but only for 25kmh mopeds (mofas). You see a lot of old guys driving those to work and back.
>>27644847We still call them duimobiles.
And I'm tired of pretending that it won't
>>27637548i'll never understand why this fatass pickup is compliant with emission laws but many manufacturers struggle without hybrid plugin on a stupid crossover
>>27645263because the (((manufacturers))) bribed lawmakers to write laws in such a way to protect their most profitable vehicles, while simultaneously making it harder for imports to compete as yuros and nips mostly focus on the smaller stuff that has to pass harsher standards
>>27637548No it won't. That's why there's so many trucks in road rage videos. Because they feel they've been disrespected.
>>27637548Trucks are gender affirming care. And I’m tired of pretending they’re not.

>car won't start>dash lights won't even come on>jump it, drive to battery store>get battery tested>it's working fantastic, absolutely flawless batteryI doubt it's the starter since the lights won't come on, but what about a bad connection? How would jumping it fix that though?
>>27641575If its actual metal key ignition. The ignition switch/bottom part of the ignition keylock could be worn. This prematurely wears out because retards put their car key together to the same keyring with multiple other keys, which causes premature wear & tear because excessive weight and keyring+multiple keys swinging around the lock when you drive the car.
>>27642525If you blew your main charging system fuse it could kill everything, but that would be unlikely to show up as an intermittent fault desu
>>27641575That album was kino.
Op here. I don't fully understand the issue if I'm being honest, but my battery wasn't powerful enough anymore for some reason despite testing the same as always. The salesman said the 2013 model which I have required something like 630 amps or volts or whatever and the battery supplied 640ish. However, the 2014 model required 760 so we upgraded from their gold to platinum battery for 20 bucks and now the car is running fine. As I said before, I don't know much about electronics so you guys probably know more than I do
>>27645379> guys probably know more than I doDoubtful. Also, the kid at the parts store is trained by some other kid who doesn’t know anything.>>27642938Why aren’t the retards the ones who cannot make a quality lock cylinder and ignition switch. I need to spend fourth thousand dollars on some shit that can’t handle a reasonable amount of keys?

What did they do so RIGHT? Why is this the best selling car in the world?
>>27645025>make fake reasonswhy would someone devote themselves like this?
>>27645370fake reasons? excuse me, as I said I drove one for two monthsI can afford to buy a tesla in cash if I want toI drove the model 3 refresh an hour ago to see what's up and the ride quality and road noise is much improved over the previous model 3all my other points remainthe worst offense is removing turning stalks
>>27645487oh alsothere was a weird rattle on the passenger side whenever I hit bumps in the roadand I looked over the car and the panel gaps where inconsistentso build quality remains an issue
>>27642853No V8 supercharged trucks available wtf is this chingchong thinking saying that bs.
>>27645510cars that make fart noises from their engines are for womencars that are clean and make no noise are for manly men
What went wrong. Love the car but its been such a hunk of shit. It ruined American cars for me.
>>27645408would love to see dart in italy, the design is much better of fake german car core like the fiat tipo who is the same car with a eurocuck engine
>>27645453They sold it as the Fiat Viaggio elsewhere.
>>27645469looks bad, the dart design is much better, is like a poor man charger
I had a turbo 1.4 dart with the manualit was fun but very slow and got terrible gas mileage when driven properly, though 40+ totally out of boost was doable the fucking thing was pushing 21,22 psi stock and the injectors were at their limit.Really good handling, nice interiorAWFUL electrical issuesmine would randomly reset the BCM and the whole dashboard would flip out, while driving down the highway, for no conceivable reason.I heard of others where the wastegate preload wasn't set or was set too high and the engines would blow. The 2.0 Hyundai engine is gutless but reliable, the 2.4 is a joke. 1.4t makes more torque than any of em.I ended up tearing most of the interior out, found the center console wasn't actually bolted down and a few other weird things like some panels were held to the steel by magnets instead of plastic pins. It is in fact mostly an Alfa Giulietta, even has the same shift knob and Fiat/Alfa/Lancia badging everywhere.
>>27645491this explains so much.....
Are Japanese car parts cheaper than German? My friend kept arguing with me that volkswagen is so good because reliable and the part are cheaper than for japanese cars.
>>27644737a lot of it is japanese lean business techniquescheck out bmw z4 vs gr supra service & maintenance costs
Parts for my twin turbo s4 were often times half as much for my basic 2.5 legacy. I think a full tune up on the outback was like 400 bux in parts vs like 200 for the s4 when updating to the newer style coils, a timing belt kit for the sube was 600 or 300 for the s4. Certain things cost more like the s4 taking 7 quarts of 5w40 vs 5 quarts of whatever, obviously a full front end rebuild on audis 5 link suspension is more, but like that just goes with the territory of a more complicated car.I wound up replacing the outback with an a4 because its far cheaper to run the a4 and its not rusted to death. Also the 1.8t will eak out 30mpg something the subaru would never do especially at 80 mph.
Depends where you live. East euros do parts to vag etc so they are cheap cheap cheap here
>>27645386Subarus are uniquely expensive compared to most everything. I put a windshield in my buddies I think the glass alone was 300
>>27645462>>27645386And it wasn't fancy glass with like rain sensors and shit just heated wiper park area
whats the point of coupes? they are the same length and weight as the 4 door sedan, just harder to get into the back seats at least with suvs like jeeps the 2 door version is shorter and weighs less
>>27644240Hatchbacks aren't real coupes
>>27644255The civic coupe ain't a hatchback
>>27643680Coupes are generally shorter and lighter than sedans. Therefore, better handling and easier to fit into places. That's all.
>>27644461Not sure about modern stuff, but I know specifically that the GC Impreza and E46 3 series sedans are stiffer than their coupe counterparts. Better handling isn't necessarily true, especially for the GC Impreza which didn't lose any length or weight when they turned it into a coupe.
>>27644491I mean, of course "coupes" that are just sedans who have half their doors ripped off are pointless. But I'm talking about actual fucking coupes that are actually built around two doors and are too short to even have four doors, here.
What's the best way to put a killswitch in my car? Just splice it in to the fuel pump relay/fuse?Where's a good place to hide it so banditos can't find it? Should I bother doing weird shit like I've seen online where they add a relay to another electric thing so you need to like, pull your high beams before the starter engages as well? Seems complicated.
>>27644364>pull apart your harness and splice in 50 wires >now have to tidy up and hide the rat's nest >stops working in a year anyway and now your car is undrivable>can't just plug in a new one since that model was discontinued >it's replacement is completely different and incompatible>no choice but to go through and return everything to stock >car now has a completely butchered wiring harness>have to live with the fact that it could fail again at any time due to corrosion or a bad splice/joint mmm no thanks
>>27644859"I'm poor"
So what's the best tracker these days that doesn't have a monthly fee? (eg not a GPS device with a sim card in it)Airtags seemed promising until I learned they cucked them completely with stalker safety bullshit, and even if you remove the speaker they'll still literally tell the car thieves there's one in the car they've stolen.
>>27644443I'm 6ft 5in tall.but You have to be decently tall to even reach the pedals in my car.
>>27641644Okay but how do I start it if I'm drunk? I had to move a car at work that had one of these and I had to have the service manager go find the owner to get him to start it under the guise of "I'm not blowing on that thing he puts his lips on" because it wouldn't start for me kek.
