sad to see that you had a car accident. sadly the car will be done for most of the time it's like this: airbag out car is out. The good part is nobody was badly hurt or worse. cars can be replaced humans can't
Sorry to hear about the accident but thanks for taking the time to make a detailed rundown of the damage, particularly how the seat belts and passenger airbag fired-off with no one present. Noting that the seatbelt lights (under HVAC) illuminate irrespective of occupancy seems to indicate that the car doesn't know what seats are used. The safety link disables the main contactor inside the battery pack so perhaps you didn't plug that back in before trying to place it in P or D?
Thanks for your message. Good point! The seatbelt lights(for ex the back ones) do actually turn on when you start up the car even if you have them buckled. For example the baby car seat in the back is always buckled and the light still turns on on startup.. this might explain why the tensioners went off in the back. The front airbag and tensioner is still a mistery and probably an error on hyundai's side. Also good point about the battery being unplugged. Maybe that's why it won't go into any gears although that's probably handled by the 12v batt so P should still be possible?! Maybe not D because there is nothing to drive the electric motor. I've posted an update. Next one to come soon i hope
Very interesting video! That sucks for you and your Kona, thankfully the guy who caused that is apparently properly insured and took full responsibility for the crash... BTW you should get a dashcam too, it's not expensive nowadays and when shit like that happens it can help a lot if the other person is denying being responsible (it already helped in my case with a small crash against a truck) and if the person recognize it, at least you get "interesting" images let's say....
Looking at it I would say that the insurance company will quite possibly write this vehicle off. There is a possibility that due to the higher value of an EV it may be considered repairable...but not likely. Glad you are OK and no one was severely injured. Mike 🇨🇦 🍁 👍
thnaks. yeah they're trying to do that but it's actually not based on real estimates however they're trying their best to get out of it and just write it off as it would be cheaper for them then fixing it. frame, battery, motor and most components under the hood are perfectly fine. 90% damage is cosmetic however they do add up in value quickly we'll see...
Glad you're okay. About the passenger airbag blowing and other seatbelts tensioning: I'd rather the car assumed all seats were occupied and blew all the safety devices than consult sensors to decide -- possible wrongly -- that a seat had nobody in it.
Thanks. The car should know there is nobody there as it has weight sensors in the seat + the seatbelt was not fastened so literally has no use or benefit of tensioning them.
So sad experience... I feel bad with you... Thanks for sharing, I wouldnt be able to make this kind of video after an accident, but you are strong man and I wish you many better days!
It was not your fault for what happened, You are okay as well as your family, yes it is the saddest day but this are things that can be fixed. Remember that you are so lucky just by being able to tell the story!
pfff.... imi pare rau :(((( ... Daca au sarit aribagurile cu siguranta lonjeroanele nu mai sunt drepte (se poate vedea si la roata care nu mai este dreapta) - se incadreaza la dauna totala. Sa nu te lasi sa accepti alt tip de despagubire! se poate vedea ca lonjeroanele sunt plecate si daca se face geometrie 3D la roti- unghiul de cadere amortizoare este cu siguranta stramb si nu prea se mai poate indrepta doar carpi
mersi. nu stiu daca va fi dauna totala sau nu dar vedem. sper sa aflu macar saptamana viitoare. masina a plecat la dealer de o saptamana si inca nu au avut timp sa se uite :(
thanks for the good wishes. where do you see structural issues? do you have a time stamp maybe? i can't say i'm stupid with cars, quite opposite actually, however i haven't dealt with many accident cars or cases so...
@@electzro yea you spotted some of it around the nine minute mark, insurance companies normally don't like dealing with those kind of issues, even though it is fixable.
@@electzro also you were right to express concern about all the airbags and seatbelts expended, in the salvage business we steered away from cars with more than one airbag and seatbelt deployed...
Thanks for the feedback and opinion. I'll keep you guys updated as soon as i have new info. Currently the car has been sitting at the dealer for over a week now and will sit there until next week when they said they'll have time to look at it and take it apart to see exactly what needs fixing etc.
The main part of the body looks to be intact, so it is sparable, but a lot of panels and wires will be changed. Plus panels for hyundai come without color. so they will be painted on the spot. Expect at least two weeks of repairs and, IF you are lucky you will not have to wait for the panels more than half a year. Yup, I've waited for my back door replacement for 6 months to arrive. And don't your insurance get you a loan car while you wait for yours to be fixed/replaced?
omg. 6 months? well if it will take so long I'll ask for a loan car for sure. there is a law that says i am allowed a car replacement while the car is being repaired, but only while it is actually getting repaired, not also during the waiting time for parts... i'll keep posting videos about the process...
Thanks for sharing this interesting video. It's first time I have seen details like this on such an EV car (I have a Kia - similar). How is it today. Did they fix your car or...
Didn't have a dashcam unfortunately otherwise i would have included it. The funny thing is i was planning on getting one so in a week or two i would have already had one :)
MAN, ce rău îmi pare rău de tine, pe lângă faptul ca nu vei avea o mașina mult timp, și pe lângă partea economică, e vorba și despre poluare, căci in acest fel se vor consuma alte resurse numai din cauza unui prost nerăbdător, dar bine ca ai avut o mașina noua și scumpă, căci dacă erai cu fostul logan, nu cred ca era ok
@@electzro acum am vizionat pina la capat si am retinut si semnele tale de intrebare legate de asta, e ff ciudat ptr ca in toate testele ncap cu lipsa pasager nu se activeaza decit la sofer iar testul impactului cu perete deformabil e aproape exact pe suprafata frontala a situatiei de fata...
In orice caz - imi tare tare rau ptr accident, e o experienta din care oricine are cite ceva de invatat... Bine ca toata lumea e sanatoasa, asta a fost noroc curat!
Bine ca sunt bine si ceilalti implicati intr-adevar. Ce am eu de invatat din asta? Nu stiu.. poate . trebuia sa fac casco sa rezolv rezolv mai repede cu masina.. in rest nu stiu daca mai e ceva invatatura pentru mine cel puti
Foarte urat. Imi pare rau pentru masina ta, dar ma bucur ca nimeni nu a patit nimic grav. Am (cam) acelasi model si sunt curios cum vor decurge lucrurile. intrebare: ai casco la ea? *Am un prieten cu o honda crv in garantie, care a avut un accident minor. De 4 luni masina e in service pentru un suport de la bara din fata. *Eu astept un furtun de la apa pentru stergatoare de trei luni, pentru kona. Well...$#!|
Mersi. Nu am casco. Pe RCA-ul vinovatului. Urmeaza un clip cu update-uri sapt viitoare, chiar acuma astept ceva telefoane si am mai primit ceva mailuri zilele astea.
i was involved... am fost implicat... care-i greseala? mai un pic (SPER) si o sa fie inchisa treaba. o sa postez un update imediat ce stiu ca s-a rezolvat si s-a incheiat treaba. promise...
Sorry for your loss. Please post new videos on whether the car was written off or status updates on repairs. Including wait times for new parts.

The good part is nobody was badly hurt or worse. cars can be replaced humans can't
thanks for the kind words. yes, i agree. most importantly nobody got hurt. the rest not important and can be replaced

Trist ... Pare rău pt tine ... Sper sa o recuperezi ,cumva ...
Da.. asta e. Vedem cum va fi, acum am mai primit ceva mailuri, astept ceva telefoane si o sa fac un clip sa va tin la curent
🙏
@@electzro cine răspunde de avaria ta acum ? . Cel care a făcut depășirea ? ... Chiar sunt curios ...
Exact. A doua masina din coloana. El a produs accidentul..
The HV circuit has been secured, the label is in your ash tray / storage compartiment.
Yes.. i mentioned this in the video.
It was not your fault for what happened, You are okay as well as your family, yes it is the saddest day but this are things that can be fixed.
Remember that you are so lucky just by being able to tell the story!
Yes i completely agree. ❤️

Bine ca nu erai în Spring!
Eh.. masina era mult mai distrusa cu siguranta dar nu cred ca pateam ceva sincer
Thanks for sharing this interesting video. It's first time I have seen details like this on such an EV car (I have a Kia - similar).
How is it today. Did they fix your car or...
Car was sold as is and fixed by a third party. Will post an update soon as many have been asking.
So was the car totalled?
In UK this will be 100% total loss.
Of course it was totalled. Financial loss
Can you show us the dashcam footage ? Thanks and glad your o.k. ,👍
Didn't have a dashcam unfortunately otherwise i would have included it. The funny thing is i was planning on getting one so in a week or two i would have already had one :)
Da-o in masa de masina. Bine ca esti tu in viata.
Absolut!

mersi ❤. da... daca eram cu loganu era mai interesant cu siguranta. asa trebuia sa fie :) . vedem cum se va rezolva. va tin la curent ⚡
Was there any concern for battery damage?
battery is not affected at all.
Salut. Cum mai decurge? Totul ok?
Salut. O sa postez un update sapt viitoare dar pe scurt, fooooarte incet pana acuma.
Small overlap crash
Pretty much :)
3:44 - under tray
what's up with the under tray?
@@electzro asa se numeste chestia. 😁
aaa, gata m-am prins :) da.. :)
De ce s au declansat ambele airbaguri daca erai singur in masina?

that is totaled
from a technical point of view it's fine, it can be repaired but it might be because the insurance company doesn't want to pay for the repairs.
:(
💔
Write off
probably yes...
Complete write off. Sorry dood
It was close (cost wise) but yes..
