@MatthewSmith-sz1yq Год назад

Right to repair is certainly a big factor, but people seem to have this fantasy that cars can be as easy to work on as cars from 40-50 years ago. It's just not possible, because those cars had drastically simpler systems (no AC, no electronics, etc). There's definitely a lot of issues with things like hostile design (headlight replacement requires the removal of the fuse box) or inability to get parts, but more stuff means more complexity.

@giglioflex Год назад

@@MatthewSmith-sz1yq I highly disagree. Modern cars have electronic diagnostic systems that can tell you immediately what the cause of an issue is. The problem is that system is locked down so that only certified mechanics can access it. Complexity has increased but most of the difficulty repairing modern vehicles is because they are designed to be harder to repair. In addition, electronic vehicles drastically reduce the number of parts needed. There are also advances in metal deformation that will reduce the number of parts needed for all cars. Eventually people are going to have to wake up and realize that modern life is complicated despite all the technology we have because it makes big corporations money. Same reason Apple requires "calibration" or any replaced phone parts.

@HDreamer Год назад

Why? It's almost as bad here too. @@arisnotheles

@Randomdudefromtheinternet 11 месяцев назад

@@MatthewSmith-sz1yqTechnology can compensate for that (YT tutorials, diagnostic tools, etc), but the thing is that we want the right to repair it ourselves or to find someone to repair it for us without the big corporations monopolizing and charging people the equivalent of a kidney for something that a company-neutral repairman could fix for like $20 American dollars.

@afrozen10-02 Год назад

Fun fact: to this day racing is a big part of how car companies advertise themselves. As the phrase goes: win on Sunday, sell on Monday. Edit: also, it’s funny seeing how the Dodge brand today is so much like the attitude of the Dodge brothers. Absolutely insane and crazy in all the best ways.

Having an entire side of my family from Detroit (my great-great-grandfather knew Henry Ford well. I have a photo of the two on a street in Ireland in 1927 that I'd share if the print wasn't buried in storage), this has been an interesting watch.
