Electrified delayed 3 months

Well, if you keep the jump box and/or jumper cables in the trunk it's time for a change of plans.

Otherwise it's similar to writing down the combination for your safe and putting that note in the safe.

Exactly and it shouldn’t be. I’ve never owned another car that I couldn’t get the trunk open without resorting to being a trunk monkey when power was out.

I guess when you stop seeing mules having open trunks and tampon strings, they finally figured out the electrical issue not allowing the hatch to open so they can reset the 12v battery in the trunk.

But the 90 days is tentative based on documents they sent dealers. They are hoping the issues are resolved by August/September. I've had sources tell me they had to put a bunch of engineers on the Daytona and they have to engineer some new parts LOL

There would be no need for "smart guns" if we had smart people.

They should have put battery connections under the hood. That would simplify things.

Or...put a key hole there....like they used to for 70 years

And if we were truly civilized..thre would be no need for guns...

Surely you don't suggest putting people through the hardship of having to use a key to open the trunk?

If people were that much into doing things themselves we wouldn't have rain sensitive wipers, automatic headlights, etc. Gotta preserve energy while driving to the gym.

Drive by wire, steer by wire, brake by wire, what can possibly go wrong?

Yup, I spent about 10 minutes disabling all kinds of crap on the new (to me) Durango today.

That'll come in handy if I drive it today.

Meh. You'll be fine. Just bring extra fuses.

My new Genesis is even worse than the Durango with the nattering nannies, took a while but I've finally killed off most of it.

How awful.
Would it be so bad to have an auxiliary power setup off a standard 12V battery? Main battery dies for whatever reason, the 12V system switches over to run things like the doors/windows.

im waiting for the inline twin turbo version

My wife's new Genesis has all that Bullshit...and I hate it...(she loves it)

I really do like the car, but the nannies are annoying AF I've managed to turn most of the crap off, but some will not let you.
The headlights are super annoying as the sensor is just too damn sensitive. Drive under some trees & the lights flick on, turn off the auto headlights and the damn thing beeps & puts up a message that the headlights are off

I get it...my wife rarely drives more than 20 miles a day...a month ago I had to take her car to Pittsburg..90 miles into the trip..the screen shows a cup of hot coffee and starts playin bedroom music...WTF is this bullshit I'm thinkin...thought is was gonna pour a cup of coffee on my feet...I called her and asked her WTF...she read the manual ..and told me the call was tellin me to take a break...again WTF...but the thing I find most disconcerting about the car..when going from drive to park..you don't move the shifter...you push a button...now I've driven 100's of vehicles in my time..it's a conditioned reflex be it a floor shifter...or on the column ....push the lever all the way forward for park...NOT SEARCH FOR A FUCKIN BUTTON...in a panic situation,,it could have negative results....driving should be second naure...searching for a park button is NOT...did I mention I hate her car

Taking a break, huh?

When I went to Utah this week to pick up a car I stopped three times. Once to take a leak, then at the dealership, and then to get fuel on the way home. That was a 1,100-mile drive.

Of course, There were also five involuntary stops in the first 400 something miles. Three stop signs and two stop lights.It got worse from there.

I thought Tesla had this ?
