    I like your manager Phil! He seems like a very humble man. He is like a regional manager and the first time we saw him he was working the line in a restaurant. It is unusual to find a manager that will put themselves in the line of everyday work sometimes. It helps him build respect and connection with the employees. He can better understand any problems, stress or other issues they may be having. He seems to treat even the lowest person on the pole as an equal. Those are the qualities that help bring success.

    reason why automakers these days dont have many parts availability anymore is the same struggle people are fighting for in the "Right To Repair" arena.. i.e. how Apple doesn't support or supply parts to 3rd party repair facilities, and rather attempt to talk customers into trading/buying a new phone or mac over a $5 part and send the otherwise easily fixable phone to the landfill.. Or how John Deere doesn't want farmers to be able to work or modify their own farm equipment, or same with Tesla, how they disable features (i.e. supercharging) if you modify the car, do your own repairs yourself, or buy a salvaged one, etc,
    so in simple terms, manufacturers are pushing more and more obsolescence and instead want and push customers replace otherwise easily repairable products if the parts were made available, so by intentionally not making parts available, they force customers to buy a new product. And the proof you need is that even certain currently still produced vehicles can be totaled over parts availability, which you know is non-sense as obviously parts exist otherwise how are they able to keep new vehicles rolling off the assembly lines, it's simply because the mfg is keeping the parts away from the public and repair facilities as they want these vehicles to be made obsolete/totaled if things beyond maintenance parts need to be replaced so that way the customer potentially trades-in or buys a new replacement vehicle from them.

      I don't think they are required to keep parts in stock 10 years out anymore. Mom has a 08 PT Cruiser that only has 58k on it and many of the critical parts are no longer available. She just gave it to us because she's getting too old to drive so now it's my problem. I fixed it for her once the warranty ran out but till recently parts were easy and cheap to find and I'll do upullit to get parts not available anymore. Problem with that is once they hit 20 years old the good parts disappear. I went through that with the 95 Neon coupe I used to drive. Tons of good parts to pick from, then last spring I needed a drivers door and I got lucky enough to find one reasonable condition door cheap. Much earlier I needed a crank position sensor and there were rows and rows of similar cars to pull one from so I got several to be sure I got a good one. I don't have the money to buy a new car but I can afford a nice older used one and fix things myself so the game continues.

      The issue with the Gladiator is most likely an issue we've had before at my work. It's not they don't make them, they're just limited availability because of either the vehicle being too new or special editions using special parts. The S209 parts are hard to get and limited availability. Parts are also a big issue in the car industry right now and even things as simple as our wipers and air filters are unavailable bc Subaru can't get them from their distributors. He does talk further about planned or perceived obsolescence but the thing is that the need for OEM parts on older vehicles rarely is worth the cost to keep manufacturing them. Toyota and Honda are pretty good at that though

      You can repair it. Just don’t file a claim with your insurance company. Or when your insurance offers you the ability to buy it back, buy it back and fix it. Most parts for “Domestic” vehicles in the US are offered by their respective dealership, albeit they are mighty proud of their parts and the price shows. But… I don’t if you’ve notice the clear lack of parts availability for just about anything out there, not just cars, computer components… yea, this isn’t a right to repair deal, it’s a lack of ability to repair in a timely manner, so instead of paying up to $600 a week for a rental car, and probably storage fees for the wrecked car for a unforeseen amount of time they’ll just total the car as that gets expensive, fast for the insurance companies.

      The rule still exists however with the "just in time supply chain" there are no extra parts for new vehicles, every part is headed for the production line. This isn't anything new, in 1983 I worked for a racing team and we were building a Dodge Charger (the FWD car) for an IMSA series and the Charger has a quarter window delete with a plastic panel in its place. We could not get the panels, eventually we were able to convince someone to "steal" us a pair off the production line! They were making just enough for manufacturing and no more. Its how "just in time" parts delivery works and its how most manufacturing is run on a worldwide scale today.

    You might wanna educate yourself on the repair-ability of electric cars.. It's so easy for manufacturers to software lock replacement parts on their cars to force owners into the dealership repair shop instead of fixing it themselves. Also, parts availability is typically worse for those cars than regular ones.

    • @lanceparrish6453
      @lanceparrish6453 3 года назад +1

      To a certain extent that's already happened. So many parts for gasoline cars require coding, and parts availability sucks. I think he's talking about the future when they aren't niche products, but rather the main kind of car that is sold. Dealership software always gets leaked and spread everywhere, and the aftermarket always figures out how to code this. Regardless this is why Right to Repair is so dang important, stuff like coding window regulators should be illegal, or very very easy to get around.

He loved it - except it broke down. It was in the shop four times, and once (this was pre-pandemic), it was in the shop for a solid month because they couldn’t find body parts for it…and a small 4x4 switch. Yep. A small switch - took a month. He sold the car though, for a new car a few weeks ago.

    I don't share Tyler's belief that EVs are going to be less likely to be scrapped before their time. Battery pack replacement would make many of them economically unrepairable. In addition, they are chock-full of complex electronic modules that rapidly will become unavailable as the tech is obsoleted. And why would manufacturers want it any other way? The planet, on the other hand.....

    • @opieg7333
      @opieg7333 3 года назад

      So long as design is modular (which it is because there is no reason for complexity) battery packs will not be an issue. And the main cause of ICE failures is insufficient maintenance which EVs won't require. As with all reliable cars, there will come that eventual day when the soft part and electronics become an issue. Its true at about the 15 to 20 year mark for any vehicle. And many of the modules in the notable EV's are superfluous, the simple EVs have simple systems that really would not require upgrade. Certainly easier to refurbish an d a multiport EFI ecu. No complex hydraulic controlled drive-lines to deal with. Everything in an EV is plug and play and simple. At this point it seems the industry has decided it will be the future. Can't blame them, R&D cost will plummet.

      Agree. My mom had a 82 Mercedes 240D sedan that broke the timing chain and destroyed the engine. We had to get another car quick and she bought a 2 year old 2000 Hyundai Accent. Nice little car to run around town in and in early 2000 standards, it’s an alright car. But it does feel like you’re riding in a pop can.
      That was my impression of Hyundai until I drove a 2006 Hyundai Sonata and I realized they were making progress. Fast forward over a decade and my mom’s 2006 Dodge Stratus decided to lose its transmission at 65,000 miles. She’s not one to put a ton of miles on a car. So she finally decided to pull the trigger and buy her first new vehicle ever a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate. It’s hard to believe it’s a Hyundai it’s so well made. And luckily since we bought it in 2018 before they settled the lawsuit on the engines and put knock sensors in, the engine has a lifetime warranty no matter who owns the car. I’ll never get rid of it, I’ll drive it til it falls apart.

      It was slow as a dog, but it was fairly reliable. If you maintain them, they will last. It had some quirks with the timing belt, but as long as you kept on top of it and were religious about replacing it every 40-60k, you were fine - seemed to be a common problem with the early first gens.

The ad goes: This is what you don't get when you buy an air cooled VW: no radiator, no driveshaft, etc. The same goes for electric cars. Range anxiety aside and used battery disposal aside, there are alot of advantages to the electric car. Less moving parts, quicker, better handling because of a low center of gravity, quieter, and don't forget the biggie: better for the environment.

    Interesting. I can't wait to see the repair bills. That technology ain't cheap to repair. There is one thing that would make me look elsewhere, and that is the positioning of the headlamps and rear turn signals in the bumpers. The turn signals at the rear are vulnerable to parking lot damage as the bumper cover offers zero protection. Also, when you need the 4 way flashers on the side of a freeway or in an emergency situation, they are not particularly visible to cars behind, and in snowy conditions get covered to the point of invisibility. The headlamps are also left vulnerable to minor parking lot impacts. They are particularly vulnerable to pick up truck bumpers. No thanks.
    The cost of repair on new vehicles and the difficulty getting parts is a large reason I will stick with my 1990 Volvo 240 wagon. A complete light set for Arthur, including new European E Code glass lights and both turn signals, is a whopping $350 US, and even allowing for shipping to Canada, would arrive in 5 business days.

    My wife has a 2020 Palisade, we bought it just before the pandemic. I'm amazed how nice it is. As Car & Driver (or maybe Road & Track?) said, Hyundai could have put a Genesis badge on it and charged another $20,000. Despite being roughly the size of a Greyhound Bus and having a normally-aspirated V6, it's faster and gets much better gas mileage than the Ford Edge with a twin-turbo 4 she traded in.
