Today's question of the day is early because I am currently in a meeting room learning about the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Soon I will be heading to Laguna Seca to drive it.
Calrson FanI predict this won't sell any better than the F150 Lightening. People with money to burn will buy it for the "hey look what I got" factor. They'll tire of it quickly once they have shown it to friends & family and then sell or trade in at a huge loss. It will be their first and last EV PU truck until the technology & charging infrastructure matures.
Carson DThere is a story going around that a man who bought a new Tundra was contacted by his insurance company because his son's phone had paired with his infotainment system, and the insurance company added his son to his policy as a result. If Toyota is cooperating with insurance companies, one might think that they're doing so in order to get lower rates for their vehicles as a selling feature. Spying on your customers and ratting them out to insurance companies is not a selling feature. I know of one sale that it has already cost them.
Chris P Bacon"Needs a valve replaced" and has a cracked windshield, which would be a problem if you live in a state with an annual safety inspection. Based on the valve alone, it's overpriced. If those issues were corrected, it might be priced about right to be a cheap ride until something bigger broke. It's probably a $500 car in current condition.
SilverHawkBeing a life-long hobby musician, I have very eclectic tastes in music. 2 of my vehicles have a single-disk cd player, so that's how I keep my sanity on the road.
Golden2huskySo the short term answer is finding a way to engage the cloaking device by disabling your car's method of transmitting data. Thinking out loud here - would a real FSM show the location of the module and antenna...could power be cut to that module? I'm assuming that OTA updates would not occur but I wonder what else might be affected...I have no expectations of government help but frankly that is exactly what is required here. This is a textbook case where the regulatory sledgehammer is the only way to be sure.
