Proof Electric Cars are a Scam and the Media is Lying to You
Rev up your engines we all know the wheels are starting to fall off the electric battery car bandwagon it says oh we’re all going to make electric cars well guess what they falling off of the electric car bandwagon well now there’s a new bandwagon called hybrid and they’re all jumping on the hybrid
Bandwagon now Consumer Reports just picked the top 10 picks for 2024 and they were of course mainly hybrid Consumer Reports likees jumping on bandwagons and bandwagon is now hybrid well bad electric that bandwagon the wheels kind of fell off so let’s try the new hybrid bandwagon they pick cars like
The Toyota Prius Prius Prime Toyota Camry hybrid Ford Maverick Hybrid Toyota Highlander Hybrid BMW X5 that’s a mistake those things are just endless money pits but that’s where you go Toyota r four Prime out of the top 10 a bunch of them are hybrid cars that they
Pick as cars of the year right they just go from one band wagon to another now hybrids can get much better gas Mage that’s true one you pay more for the vehicle and two if you keep them for years like I do you pay tons more fixing
Them cuz they are so much more complex they got expensive batteries especially the plug-in ones and General Repair on them is super expensive because you got a gasoline motor you got an electric motor and they’ve got computers that decide when to run this when to run that
And when they break good luck finding someone who even knows how to fix the stupid things they are complex a lot of people have older used cars and they’re going to find out well maybe hybrid wasn’t such a smart move now buying a new one if it’s a Toyota it’s going to
Last quite some time that could be a good decision if you do a lot of stop and go City Driving better gas mods now on the highway they’re not any different than a regular car cuz they just run on a regular motor most of the time so on a
Highway you don’t get much Advantage so if you do more highway driving a hybrid’s kind of stupid but for stop and go City driving you will get a lot better gas mods just realize it’s not going to be like a regular Toyota or Honda where you got trouble free 10 15
20 years very little repair expense hundreds of thousands of miles the hbds you get into a different ball game as they age here’s a Tesla star from Alaska you got to hear it to believe it Jeff vanica says to a dead Tesla tonight I had to take it to a charging station
Since it was dead I’m a tow truck driver we plugged in the short 4 foot C it wouldn’t charge I had to get close enough with a tow truck to get in there backwards you have to use a jump box on two small wires in the bumper to open
The hood to jump it to the 12vt battery to get the big battery to start charging but the electric actuators were not working so the hood wouldn’t open so I had to leave it until a tech from Anchorage chose help to get the hood open to jump the 12vt battery to get the
Big battery to start charging my God who’s making this garbage that’s a tow trck driver in Alaska right and that’s the truth people don’t understand those Teslas they have regular 12vt battery a little bitty one and when it goes bad you can’t do anything so that was dead in the guy’s
Car and even though tow truck driver towed it to the charger they couldn’t charge it because the 12vt battery was dead and they couldn’t get in so they had to get a technician come all the way from Tesla to open up the stupid Hood you know you think they could have a
Little prong even James May said that cuz he owned one California was dead when he got he says why did you just have a little plug there where we can plug it in so we can charge the 12vt battery and then we can get everything going but no it’s all sealed right so
You got to take half the car part to get to it when it goes back the stupidity of Designing these things and of course this isn’t Alaska and it is wintertime so all this was done in a freezing cold I imagine what a cluster mess that was
So if you live in Alaska maybe think twice about buying a Tesla breaking news Jeep is killing the Wagoner sub brand all right if you didn’t know he come especially Stan own they’re a bunch of idiots they’re Europeans so you know what do you expect right they made the
Wagon a its own sub brand oh whatever the heck that means right well they say now they’re coming back into the fold and they just parts of Jeep they won’t be their own sub brand I had a guy buy a Jeep Grand Wagoner and wrote out he paid
$114,000 for that thing who the heck are buying those things anyway and of course now they’re coming out with an electric version and here’s what they say about the electric version it’s not out yet but we expect the Jeep 2025 Wagoner S Electric Vehicle to start at around 90,000 and go well over
$100,000 okay who’s really going to be buying these things you know they keep pushing these Ultra expensive Vehicles the average American doesn’t want to spend 100 G for a vehicle especially a Jeep which are notorious they not lasting that long anymore they’re just Jeep and name they nothing to do with
The old Jeeps rugged you know I mean a lot of the Jeeps these days are made in Italy cuz Fiat owned them and now it’s Stan us which is a European company too they’re just taking that name Jeep and they’re fogging it as long as they can
To make a lot of money like Harley-Davidson okay they flogged that name to try to sell them everything from hand bags to oil to super expensive motorcycles then they tried electric motorcycles man did that fail to give you an example Harley Davidson they called them Livewire they’re electric motorcycles they sold 597 electric
Motorcycles in 2022 597 they’re losing a shirt on that deal they tried to Branch the company off they sold stock but they had to buy the stock back cuz the stock was collapsing right absolute mess you think these idiots are Harley would have realized let’s see they want rumbly loud noised
Motorcycles that can go long distances so why on Earth they thought they could make electric motorcycles with a very limited range that they’ll make any noise their clientele doesn’t want that I guess even the guys who run Harley-Davidson they’re so wrapped up in the name Harley-Davidson the brand Harley-Davidson that they believe their
Own horse Manu and decided sure it says Harley people will buy these electric motorcycles well selling less than a thousand world wide in the whole year tells you that’s a massive failure for you right and the same thing with these Jeep Grand wagon ears it’s like the last
Gasp of the dinosaurs before they go extinct whether they call it its own sub brand or Now They’re bringing back in into the fold of Jeep they got nothing to do with Jeeps anyways they’re huge things right they’re SUVs they’re not Jeeps does anybody really care that
They’re not their own sub brand anymore whoa there’s a real marketing gem that will move them back in genius I I imagine these people at stanas probably had meetings over this and oh yes that’s a genius move let’s do that let’s put it back we made its own sub brand now it’s
Not a sub sounds like a great move I’d love to be a fly in the wall in these meetings you know Gibbs 5280 says my fuel pump isn’t working I got a 98 Ford Mustang 3.8 L I replaced all of the fuel components pump filter fuel pressure regular injectors
It ran fine for a day and now I’m not getting any power to my fuel pump for no reason no blowing fuses relays are okay help understand that ultimately power is run through your computer you could have a problem in a computer driver but first check your ignition switch turn it on
And if you see that there’s no power coming out of the ignition switch but there’s power going into the ignition switch when you turn it on no power goes out to the fuel pump you just got a bad ignition switch very easily be a bad ignation switch so check that first cuz
If it’s not that either your computer module’s bad or you got a bad fuel pump to test that just go back to the wiring in the back where the fuel pump goes into the gas tank give it power and ground and if it doesn’t pump you know
You got a bad fuel pump they don’t make aftermarket fuel pumps that well and if you got one made in China wouldn’t surprise me at all if the thing went bad I see that all the time never ever buy a Chinese made fuel pump for your car or
You’re going to regret it because it might not last when you put it in or in your case your car ran for a day and now it’s not running again it could easily be the fuel pump too so check it with power and ground if it doesn’t work you
Got a bum fuel pump Pia says should I buy this car from a distant dealer I want to buy a 2015 Toyota Prius 83,000 Mi to 13 Grand it’s through dealership far away can I trust a dealership would it be worth it to have it shipped over
After I bought it for me to find out if it’s good or not okay well here’s the problem you never want to buy something from far away unless you know a mechanic in that city that you trust your friend lives there and has a good mechanic to
Check it out you don’t want to buy vehicle ship at home and the find it it’s no good it’s too bad you own it then and as to trust a dealer you can’t trust anybody for anything most of the time it’ll say on a sticker Asis no warranty blah blah you can’t trust
People that are selling used cars that’s just the nature of the game unless it’s a friend that you’re buying it from that you know and they just happen to move far away and you’re going to buy their car do not buy something from far away they far away they know it’s far away
Then know it’s not didly Squad you’re going to be able to do about it so don’t buy something from far away you can’t trust them as far as you can throw them and it will almost always say as is no warranty now there are legal warranties many states have a warranty that the
Person that a use carlot is liable for pre-existing conditions that if you get it and let say the transmission shot they sold it you with a shot transmission that’s a pre-existing condition they’d have to fix it but a lot of times they would deny knowledge
You’d have to take them to court and sue them who wants to get involved in that crap when you’re buying a used car try to find something locally never think about getting some from far away unless you’re a mechanic yourself and you bring all your equipment check it out before you buy
It so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos remember to ring that Bell
