Do NOT set your own car on fire. They will notice every marker pointing at you! Instead, incompetently park in a visible area that is poorly lit at night, perhaps a Trump sticker. Maybe an anti-trans or pro racism sticker! Really REALLY scummy stuff. Get a custom plate that says ''YBMC'' or something else horrid. Really egg them on. What you really want is a total stranger you have never interacted with. Police fail to identify 90% of crimes that don't have a personal motivation to known victim and perpitraitor.

Buying a Hyundai of all choices after a tesla is doubling down on shitty car choices

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I retired during Covid, but until then I drove mercedes. When I needed a new car, the new Merc dealer wouldn't even let me onto the lot, telling me he couldn't get a car for me for 12 months. Turned out, the only new car I could get immediately, was a Kia Sportage, and that was only because someone failed a finance application. That car was actually awesome, never a single problem, but I decided I didn't like all the screens because always fingerprints, so I sold that and bought a Hyundai because I had already gone through the tech learning curve (Kia and Hyundai are the same). That too, has been trouble free all the time I've had it, and I'm about to trade to another Hyundai. Converesely, here in Australia, I hear about Honda's being crap. I think Korean cars, actually made in Korea, are actually great cars. You Americans mostly get models made locally, which to me sounds like the problem. What you are saying, is American made is shitty.

The best car to get is one where the engineers actually thought of maintaining the thing over looks

I traded mine in. Was underwater by 10k. Fuck me, but fuck Elon more.

Hyundai EVs really are good. They made absolutely terrible gas cars but chose the transition to EVs to make new company out of themselves and they did an absolutly incredible job. They make some of the best EVs in the market.

As a Hyundai-owner...you should buy a Honda.

[-] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

As an owner of both, my 2020 Ioniq BEV easily feels better than my previous civic, and my Subaru (though I'd want the suby for anything challenging terrain-related). Best car I've owned.

So here's my issue with Hyundai. I LOVED them, bought 2 Tucsons so far and love so much about them. HOWEVER, there was some oil-related recall that, long-story short, killed my engine while I was driving on a highway. My car was at 99,000 miles at the time this happened, and it was before they actually issued the recall. I had to spend about $8k replacing the engine and paying for a rental. A few months later they issues the recall and I submitted all of my paperwork. They ignored me. I submitted again, they ignored me again. I called a few times, and tried submitting again, and somehow their website broke and stopped letting me submit my paperwork, and they refused to let me send it in any other way.

It was under warranty. I almost died. And it cost me a lot of money. But they fucked around playing games to avoid paying me.

So fuck Hyundai. I'll never buy another. When this one finally dies, I'll probably go with a Honda CR-V, or a Nissan Murano.

That's actually the face your Insurance company make when their claim adjuster reviews the Tesla 'Sentry Mode' footage.

Of a random guy in a hoodie and a mask setting fire to my Tesla?

Yeah DO NOT commit insurance fruad. It's a really bad idea. You will get caught. There's about 100 different ways to get caught and you won't figure out half of them, and what's worse is that the money will point REALLY big red arrows at you and if you can't defuse that attention, your doing time.

[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago

I've heard insurance companies in the Un-united Dystopia of america have stopped insuring them

The irony here is that Hyundai models built 2019 - 2023 have an issue where they'll spontaneously combust.

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

There is a whole bunch of regulatory stuff that's been spun up for EVs over the past 7 years or so.

I have no idea if Hyundai had something out of the ordinary happen, but the public is generally very slow to change and are a bit hyper vigilant. Add in the fact that the press loves a good boogieman to get clicks and you'll see some of the EV mess.

Are they safer than ICE? Yes. Should that stop there? No.

With an average of 16 EV and hybrid fires per year, there's a 1 in 38,000 chance of fire. There are a total of roughly 4.4 million gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles in Sweden, with an average of 3,384 fires per year, for a 1 in 1,300 chance of fire. That means gas- and diesel-powered passenger vehicles are 29 times more likely to catch fire than EVs and hybrids.

Hyundai and Kia always has something out of the ordinary happen. My model was an ICE with two major flaws: one meant that the engine was liable to catastrophically fail and catch on fire at around 90k miles, and the other made it so stealing them was literally child's play. Kids were making TikToks on how to steal them..

Hyundais just aren't good cars. They cut corners to the max, and when shit goes south just try to gaslight everyone involved. I'm highly skeptical that their EVs are high quality, because their ICE models were shitboxes.

Insurance fraud is cool now?

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 76 points 3 days ago

So long as only victims are insurance companies and Tesla, I am okay with it. To be fair, they kinda deserve it.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 12 points 2 days ago

Insurance companies are never the only victim. They just pass the pain forward.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Tesla has its own insurance company so double whammy lmao

This website is satire and best viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism and a strong sense of humor.

what a disappointment

You just know a dealership is going to get caught setting it's own Teslas on fire. That is going to be the free space on many 2025 Bingo cards.

I have owned only three brands of cars with a total of four different engines. And next to my Toyotas, my one Hyundai was incredibly reliable. Made it to 300k before I gave it away to my cousin. And the only time it ever left my in a jam was a Walmart parking lot when the starter burnt out. I walked across the street, bought a new one, and with the help of a YouTube video & $10 worth of tools from that very Walmart, shit was done. I highly recommend an old sonata to any one hard up, and in need for something reliable. Mine actually had heated seats! Easily the best $700 I've ever spent! I could rant about that car for ever.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 44 points 3 days ago

This is the only good use of a Tesla now, IMO. Get it fully insured, then go park it in a dark alley near a popular area. It'll get torched before too long. No fraud involved with setting your own car on fire....

Then use the money to buy something that's not made by a Nazi.

Hyundai is not the move :p

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago

Every time a Tesla cuts me off in traffic now, I contemplate following them until they park so I can carve "ASSHOLE" into the hood with my keys.

[-] Letsdothisok@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh boy, you're so edgy.

[-] tacobellhop@midwest.social 27 points 3 days ago

Man a shitty lining to this cloud is the kids that had to mine the lithium for the batteries into useless cars.
