Definitely agree that insurance data thing is straight up wrong unless you’ve opted into one of those “good driver” programs that provide a discount for “safe” drivers.
The fact that modern cars share or potentially share data with third parties is why I am keeping my current car as long as I possibly can as it is not connected to the Internet. Also I try to make sure that I control the permissions on apps that are on my iPhone so that they don't share data excessively.
If you refuse to pay for a SIM card connection, nothing will be transmitted. I think just four brands actually provide this feature (all Euro) but this can change,
I would love to see different spinoff segments on car care, care maintenance, car insurance, etc. Considering there is so much involved in car ownership, I would love to see how you two deal with the day to day running costs and management of cars. Thanks in advance.
I'd love to see them stick to car reporting - not their personal social stuff! It's getting very old, very quickly. Nearly 3 minutes on their Newfy trip!
Hi it’s Rob. Thanks for answering my question about EVs 100km topic. Appreciate it! And yes Zack is right. Rot (and QC roads I should add 😂) are always back of mind here. Cheers!
Congratulations on producing OVER 100 Episodes! Having recently visited the ‘Watches of Switzerland’ showroom in The Wynn Esplanade (Las Vegas)… WOW!… I have to say that I don’t see any timepiece that will replace my Daily Seiko SKX 007 in the near future. It’s a beater watch, it’s not worth robbing me, although I love it’s history (with me)… I’m not worried about losing it (once at Aylen Lake last year for about 10 months) or breaking it. But if I were to consider a more premium timepiece… I’d love to see a Patek Calatrava (White face with Roman Numerals) or a SINN U50 (on a NATO or Rubber) on my wrist. Thanks for the video.
Great videos! In regard to cars sending data…..on BMW’s at least, you select the amount of privacy under your profile, in car it asks how much info you want to share with them and it’s up to you to select the level of privacy, I’m sure other manufacturers ask these same questions, so it’s up to the driver to configure when new.
@@andreaspencer9813 hello Andrea, I’m not doing any long distance driving anymore and I’m looking for a nice EV. What is a nice used EV to checkout? It’s just my wife and I, we’re both retired and I’m looking for something that looks nice! Thanks!
That sensor thing is crazy! My car's collision sensor goes off every day because of the way my street curves, so even though I'm well under the speed limit, I get a collision warning. I'd be so upset if that caused my insurance to go up.
Glad you enjoyed your trip to Newfoundland land ( not Newfinland lol) Wish I could have said hi. Been watchin Zack since the 90's...yeah we aren't getting any younger Zack. But why you two aging so well? As for EV's, yeah they won't work in NL yet. Distance, infrastructure and really long 6 month Winters with temps dropping to -45C here on West Coast. Labrador would be even worse.
I agree with Zack and Andrea that we lived with Unconnected Vehicles for decades! I think Automotive OEMs should not be capturing and or selling our driving data to any company or government agency! This is an invasion of your privacy.
I like your show and I think you have good chemistry together that makes people want to watch the channel. Why do you think there is a lot of brand loyalty from people. I have a friend that will only buy Ford products because his dad always bought ford products. I have a brother in law whose dad worked at GM and he only will buy GM products. My dad only bought GM products as I grew up in Oshawa and there was a GM plant here and I have never had a GM car other than a Pontiac Vibe which was actually Toyota and it was my favourite car. I have had mostly Honda's with the exception of a Nissan truck once and a Ford mustang, which was my first car and was a total lemon and I probably would not buy another ford even if they have gotten better. I have tried on two Occasions to buy a Toyota but could not due to the long wait time for the product. Why do many people stick only to one brand ?
Working on a ship based in New Brunswick our food supply chain is terrible. Most of the produce arrives half rotten. When we’re in Newfoundland the produce comes much fresher. I just found Zach’s comment about the food in Newfoundland being not quite fresh due to the delivery time.
Hi, we just came back from the Maritimes as well. Took the MarineAtlantic @NorthSydney NB. We were also disappointed other than food is no wifi😂 just saying
It is hard to argue against hybrids. Especially if we are doing the daily. If most of the transportation was averaging 40-45 miles a gallon. It would make a difference.
Beware, the thermo control values in recent Suburu's are made of plastic and they will fail costing thousands to fix. Subaru has extended the warranty to 150000 miles in the US, not sure about Canada.
The obsolescence of the ICE cars will probably happen sometimes BUT... very likely when none of us will be around 🤣Till then don't see why to be afraid to buy an ICE car. There are and will be more and more hybrids with very good mileage and like Zack mentioned for certain areas (being CA or US) is a very risky proposition to hop on the EV wagon.I just bought an ICE car(hybrid) that I am planning to use for some years to come and I am honestly not afraid it will be obsolete by the time I may think to change it and/or the EV technology will become a more appealing option, ironing the kinks, more affordable, better infrastructure etc Or maybe there will be a new technology that will pop up sometimes. Who knows, But for the time being and for the foreseeable future ICE will stay and whoever says otherwise may be simply BS ing you
I called Kia Canada re sharing of data. Customer service just said they haven't heard of them doing so. Sounds like a politician. No real answer or offer to find out.
Newer vehicles and phones no longer have physical SIM cards that can be pulled. They use embedded electronic e-SIM. I rather like being able to see information about vehicle status and use on my phone. What I'd like most to see is a requirement that all vehicles transmit identifying information to each other - sort of an electronic license plate. This would reduce some of the hit-and-run and aggressive behavior nonsense. And all vehicles should have continuously recording surround cameras like Tesla for the same reason.
If you buy a new car and you're financing it, don't get into "upside down" financing where you more for the vehicle than what you can sell it for. Congrats on getting a trade right out of high school.
Agree with Andrea, its the batteries that will be the big expense for an EV. Battery plants in EV's are supposed to be good for 10-20 years. The original Tesla's are just hitting that 20 year mark so we don't really have data on how long a battery plants will last past 20 years for mass produced vehicles. That said if you are keeping an EV I would extend the warranty if it covers the battery plant. Battery place replacement costs 10-15K.
But are our smart phone companies selling data from when we are driving in a car? I personally don't care, but it should be something that is identified clearly upfront and customers "opt in" or "opt out."
I mean this respectfully........... Everyone deserves a livable wage no matter what they do for work. Should other jobs pay more absolutely, but the bare minimum job should be enough for an okay living. What you said about baristas was very boomer-ish. I was a Starbucks barista for 3 years before I was a truck driver (I now make 100K). And let me tell you this. Barista was a harder job. Any job is a skilled work and they deserve dignity. Should people in trades nursing schooling and what not get get paid more yes but the people on the bottom should make enough to live on.
I mean this respectfully. All jobs are not created equal and to think that EVERY SINGLE JOB should provide a livable wage is not realistic. Your comment about how hard you worked has nothing to do with determining your wages. You can use a fancy name but you made/served drinks in a coffee shop - albeit Starbucks - its still a coffee shop. Hear me out - 10, 15, 20 years ago, a job at a restaurant, whether it be Tim Horton's, Starbucks, Burger King, McDonalds or in retail were designed to be PART-TIME jobs for students, individuals who wanted to fill a stop-gap. This was the reason why we (individuals, students, families) could afford to grab a decent meal, or consume a drink at a relatively reasonable price. Fast forward to 2024 and now everyone wants to turn these jobs into a career and expect the employer to be responsible for footing the bill. Wages are only a percentage of operating a business and people assume that regardless of profit or loss, the employer should guarantee an hourly or annual salary, benefits and bonus. How does a business make a profit?
@@Ela-cw7fi and two more things. Do you think I give a flying crap about a corporation that doesn't pay their employees well enough? Somewhere a domino has to fall especially here in these states. And I don't care how it falls or where it falls because at the end of the day. This is some grade A b.s. I will never feel bad for corporations. My generation probably won't ever freaking retire. It's plain to see they do not care about us. Why should we care about them?.
@@Ela-cw7fiIf those low wage workers stopped working tomorrow (not replaced, just stopped), people would start questioning the stability of the country. Those roles are very valuable.
Speaking of the Civic Hybrid... Toyota has a lot of work ahead to sell the Corolla Hybrid with such low power compared to the Civic Hybrid, 200hp as opposed to the 139hp on the old Prius powertrain in the Corolla. Toyota has no excuse, they've been skimping on power on the Corolla for decades while Civics keep getting better. 🤔
Data - if you like the phone app contented car - you better think about going to a lower model without it - but we know the song that Apple played years ago, then Google and poor Blackberry was the standing guard people left in droves - people - guess what - "their want" will scuttle privacy.
I'm sorry, I love you guys and watch almost every video, but am I the only one who didn't appreciate the barista-shaming around the 12 minute mark? Like, come on, have a bit of respect....
Lexus Nexus I believe is owned by GM Motors, I used my window policy which I was told it had no reflect on my insurance driving policies and due to Lexus Nexus my Geico Policy went up in price a lot and quoted by Progressive it was because of my Lexus Nexus report…..just saying….after writing Lexus Nexus about this, NO REPLY….
I wasn't outing anyone, I was simply stating that two viewers reached out to me to say they bought a new Hyundai and the feature to track your driving is no longer available in their vehicles. They don't need to worry about data being shared as it doesn't exist for them in their vehicles. However in the same New York Times article about LexusNexis sharing GM data to insurance companies, it also stated modern cars are internet-enabled, allowing access to services like navigation, roadside assistance and car apps that drivers can connect to their vehicles to locate them or unlock them remotely. In recent years, automakers, including G.M., Honda, Kia and Hyundai, have started offering optional features in their connected-car apps that rate people’s driving. Some drivers may not realize that, if they turn on these features, the car companies then give information about how they drive to data brokers like LexisNexis “Telematics Exchange,” a “portal for sharing consumer-approved connected car data with insurers.” As of 2022, the exchange, according to a LexisNexis news release, has “real-world driving behavior” collected “from over 10 million vehicles.”
I bet the 2035 deadline will be pushed. EV is still not ready for prime time in so many areas. Need governemennt to stop making decisions based on living in a City.
Tesla high cost of mechanics, what does that mean? Maybe that person can clarify. Battery is a concern but the MG EV just announced a life time battery warranty. We know this is always evolving and competition will drive those prices power and lower.
Hourly rate. Is on the high side on cars out of warranty. I should also add that parts when needing replacement are also expensive compared to domestic or Japanese brands that have a large aftermarket production capability which Tesla does not.
@@vancity2349 no worries. The 200km seperate battery warranty is great. So I have zero battery concerns today. The extended warranty Tesla offers is what I was referring too only, it’s to cover the general warranty, which is separate. For briefness in my question, as Zack asks 😜, I mentioned only the labour. But I could have also mentioned the extended warranty covers parts defects etc. So parts and labour can be costly on teslas. That’s the only reason I’m thinking of extending
Outback bouncy?? Have never heard that one. I drive a 21 Outback Touring and already at 90k no problem what so ever and space ride bigger fuel tank. I will stick with the Outback all day. Plus you can get the turbo in the Outback.
@@thomasb.1124 obviously the Outback appeals to many people. My father in law who’s in his 80s loves his. He’s had 2 at my suggestion because it’s basically bullet proof. But the steering is vague at best, and its suspension is soft and bouncy.
@@kevinn1158bullet proof yes. They are very very reliable. I am in my 30’s so still young in my eyes so I would rather have a reliable wagon then a sports car. I actually wish younger buyers would buy the Outback instead of sports cars wrx etc.
I'd love to see them stick to car reporting - not their personal social stuff! It's getting very old, very quickly. Over 3.5 minutes on their Newfy trip and watches! And to cap it all off 1.5 minutes on coffee!!! Good grief - that's 25% of their content on pure crap!
Lexus Nexus is the most despicable data collection company in any industry. Insurance companies nowadays are also among the most despicable businesses and are taking advantage of the situation. My premium went from $47 a month on March 2020 to $158 a month now. Amerika the land of thieves and Canada is perhaps the same.
I’ve been to St John’s, Newfoundland before! It’s a special place - absolutely beautiful. Stunning scenery ❤
Definitely agree that insurance data thing is straight up wrong unless you’ve opted into one of those “good driver” programs that provide a discount for “safe” drivers.
Yes should be optional. And way more than the discount they offer you for a complete invasion of your driving privacy.
Love Zach's "we never had it back in the day and life was fine - and get off my lawn!" attitude. Love the channel BTW.

For briefness in my question, as Zack asks 😜, I mentioned only the labour. But I could have also mentioned the extended warranty covers parts defects etc. So parts and labour can be costly on teslas. That’s the only reason I’m thinking of extending
Just wait until the cameras get installed. Pointing inside the car. Yeah it's already a law. Buried in the inflation reduction act.
Wait, a young guy in an Outback? Boring!!! Dude get something more sporty. I'm 59 and I find the Outback bouncy and soft. Get the Crosstrek.
He’ll nah, for the same 40k you can get an x3, if your willing to pay 9k more you can get the m40
Outback bouncy?? Have never heard that one. I drive a 21 Outback Touring and already at 90k no problem what so ever and space ride bigger fuel tank. I will stick with the Outback all day. Plus you can get the turbo in the Outback.
@@thomasb.1124 obviously the Outback appeals to many people. My father in law who’s in his 80s loves his. He’s had 2 at my suggestion because it’s basically bullet proof.
But the steering is vague at best, and its suspension is soft and bouncy.
@@kevinn1158bullet proof yes. They are very very reliable. I am in my 30’s so still young in my eyes so I would rather have a reliable wagon then a sports car. I actually wish younger buyers would buy the Outback instead of sports cars wrx etc.
For the U.S. and the real possibility of another Trump presidency we can expect less governmental push to EVs and a reduction in cafe standards.
Have you heard the one about little Donny always being an earful?? Well.. not anymore... hahaha
I'd love to see them stick to car reporting - not their personal social stuff! It's getting very old, very quickly. Over 3.5 minutes on their Newfy trip and watches! And to cap it all off 1.5 minutes on coffee!!! Good grief - that's 25% of their content on pure crap!
I guess we are not for you. Enjoy all the other channels
Their channel their business, if you're not their target audience, y watch and comment unwarranted negativity in the 1st place 💯
Lexus Nexus is the most despicable data collection company in any industry. Insurance companies nowadays are also among the most despicable businesses and are taking advantage of the situation. My premium went from $47 a month on March 2020 to $158 a month now. Amerika the land of thieves and Canada is perhaps the same.
