"Drivers report paint falling off in chunks on vehicles" video
scotty, cars paint is falling off from cars.
Why no one is talking about this
👋👋👋🙄😴
LiIon batteries and associated tech have their very own muntzing and planned obsolescence built in to it by the good Lord Himself.
GM has decided they cannot beat their competitors, so they are beating their customers instead.
This was way funnier than it had any right to be
only a mouth breather who has a strong sense of entitlement with zero business acumen would even think about that statement. Let alone make it.
@@davidporter7051who hurt you?
With tariffs on affordable EV’s, they can beat their customers all they want.
😂😂😂😅
They're out of touch with customers.
We don't want expensive crap.
and their market share increaes year after year.
@@davidporter7051 B00KSAREC00KED
Those theys are two different pronouns referring to one another or different nouns, or art they not?
@@davidporter7051 Cooked stats. Always.
Just like the stonk market.
@@francislopez8090 How's the weather in Tel Aviv?
You’re right, we don’t want them! It’s just more expensive stuff to break, and take all your money, when you have to fix them!!!
They don't work right in extreme cold either!
This is why I drive a 2002 impala. It has a 3800 v6 and a decent transmission. Its build quality is great and everything including the AC still works! It barely has over 100k miles on it and I paid $450 for the vehicle.
A truck for $90k base? So after some options, taxes, etc., that truck is easily $110k out the door. Ouch.
I know all things get more expensive, but car and truck prices have gotten insane.
@@butkusfan23 And they don't cost anywhere near that amount to produce.
If they have those who " just got to have " a $ 90,000.00 dollar pickup truck " are willing to pay, then the manufacturers will keep on making them !
@MrPoppyDuck a friend of mine bought a Ford Lightning EV. It is a joke. He pulled his boat to a lake that was just under 2 hours away. He had to stop 1 time and let the truck change for 30 minutes just so he could make it to the lake. Before he could take the boat home he had to change the truck for 5 hours.
At that price it should just come loaded to the hills and no options available except maybe different wheels or bedcovers/bug deflectors, windoe visors etc.
I have a friend that works at the proving grounds and says GM electric vehicles are JUNK.
EV's are junk? And the sky is blue, what else is new?
Water is wet
I believe it.
Oil is gold and gold is oil. Keep gas powered engines.
@@elijahprasad7884liquid gold is the saying
The fact vehicles are the price of a small rancher house in the mid 90’s is insane.
Inflation be wildin'
@@FrederickTheAnon14W wages are not wildin though
I am lucky. Retired and live in a small town of less than 10,000 people and have a grocery store within walking distance. When my car finally bites the dust in a few years I ca n just take a walk to the grocery store. There are also buses in my town that will take you around town.
Go look at the price of a small rancher house. It's called inflation....
@@Shrek_HolmesNever are or will be.😢
You know your getting old when you can remember when a new truck cost around 2,500.00 and a house 10,000.00.
You're just a youngster. Our first house was $4,000 (a small, 3 bedroom ranch on an acre). My first car was $995, (but it was a 4 year old VW, so that's not really fair. But I wanted it instead of a new Pinto at $1995.
I do, and I am 70 yeasrs old. Also gasoline was at around $0.31 per GALLON.
Don't tell anyone, but we will return to those days when we switch over. Probably 2026 into 2029.
As a general rule, if politicians, corporations, and NGOs tell you should get something- they all have stock in it. Or they own some of the kids working in the cobalt mines. Either or.
Plus it means THEY DON’T HAVE THEM.
Newer batteries do not utilize cobalt due to its high price.. Batteries cost is droping 50% this year alone. Manufacturers that realy want to make an ev can sell it for the same price as an ICE car. The ones that donot will dissapear in less than 5 years from today.
Scotty Kilmer for president! 2024.Make cars great again!
What qualities makes cars great ?
@@Mabeylater293 Gas powered, no electronics whatsoever, no plastic whatsoever.
Affordable, easy to fix , not a gas hog and fun to drive... won't leave you stranded, (well built)
I personally don’t know a single person who owns an EV.
I do, and they’re brainwashed across the board. On everything
I do, and they’re about to sell it cause they realized it’s not a “green solution”.
We have a Ram 1500 and a Tesla Model Y. I also have dirt bikes too.
The model y was cheap compared to $94k and it’s an awesome car. We love it!! I think it’s a great car for those that need one gas suv for the mountains and long trips. Drive the electric around town. We love it!
They are everywhere in the cities. About 25% to 30% here in Sherman Oaks, CA (just west of LA proper)
EVs should only be small 4 door vehicles for city driving and short range commuting. EV pickups are virtually useless..
Small vehicles aren't made any more by big manufacturers, at least not in the US. They can't fleece you if they make a cheap vehicle and that is why they love to bring out these big giant vehicles that have 14 different cameras, heated seats, 5 speed automatic transmission, the "Connected Driving Experience" and so on. They include all of these things so they can upcharge you, and that's why newer vehicles are getting ridiculously priced to 40-50k on the cheap end, and 80k+ on the high end.
That’s why semi aren’t done yet, cause there’s no way “they’ll change the world” like Elon said.
Obviously, you’re tied to oil and last century , Electric cars are here they’re clean, And they go over 250 miles 95% of the time in a day you go less than 40 miles And your opinion is virtually useless, sell your oil stock and getting a real world
Why not hybrids? I don't get the binary choice of engine attitude in this country, hybrids would go a long way toward carbon harm reduction without having to replace every gas station in America
Why would I want a new truck? I am 30 years older than my 1990 F-250!
I'm 72yo and l will keep driving my 1990 F150 4WD and my 1979 Mercedes Benz 280 SEL, for as long as possible.
I have no intention of ever buying any of these new overpriced crappy motor vehicles or an electric vehicle. They are all junk!!
94,000 for an EV. The way the cost of living now days. How can common people afford it
"How can common people afford it?" They can't, that's the point.
After 2 years it's only worth 1/2. Throw away 47k in just 2 years.
its a niche market.
They're pricing themselves out if business, and blaming the govt and regulations
Even a 96 month payment term you'd be over $1000/month by the time you paid taxes and interest etc. It's just insanity.
Don't companies do feasibility studies anymore? How many farmers or construction workers will spend 90k for a PU that gets a 5k dent if you drop a 2x4 in the bed and has to be plugged in every 150 miles?
Modern trucks are not tailored towards the working class, they're tailored for bougie soyboy hipsters with low self esteem.
Like so many major companies, the legacies have forgotten who their customer is. Case in point, Budlight.
I remember in 2022 that cringed Domino's pizza commercial with the lady saying Chevy Bolts EV is the next delivery car, and there's going to be thousands of them nationwide delivery pizzas to houses. That Commercial stopped showing on Air when 2023 came. Lol I wonder why
Delivery within 30 hours or it's free.
@@Makimerz599xx she wasn't using her crystal ball, but listened to Mary Barra, another wonder at predicting the furure

I recently went to Lexus dealership to order a new car. Much to my surprise, I was told that I may not get the car I specified because Lexus may not want to build the car I so3cified in the color I wanted and with the interior color I specified, because Lexus did not want to build it!

In NZ, diesel is average 2$ a liter, and gasoline is 3$ a liter average. We get ripped as.

Yes, nothing is better than an old car with manual transmission. It will run forever.
And it’s less likely to get stolen if it has a manual transmission.

About time a car company say FU to world government and build cars not fad .
1st gen honda insight hybrid had a manual, that was a well built car. Produced in Japan only, aluminum body. I could get 75mpg on the highway. 1.0 3 cylinder, 2 seater, was fun to drive too.
Yes, I owned two of them! I wish that there was a modern day equivalent of this.
GM must bring back the Impala, Cruze, Sonic, Volt. And have the hybrid option along with gas engines.
so they can have lot rot? consumers don't want that stuff.
@@davidporter7051out of the 4 models mentioned Impala was the only one that was any good. The Cruze was OK if you got one without the Turbo.
@@Ray-dv1md The Cruze was an ok car as long as it doesn't have the Turbo version. Those were bad when the Turbo goes.
They need to bring back the Chevy Nova
Saturn needs to come back!! The American TOYOTA!!! Great cars if you have the 2L.

"Get The Hook...", just like they did in the days of "Vaudeville", when they took a performer off the stage!! Mary Bara needs to go!!
GM couldn't fix electronic instrument issues for year. Why would anyone think they can build an electric vehicle.
GM isn't going to beat the competition at this point. There are too many other companies out there that have greater knowledge of electromagnetism that GM doesn't have.
I have no idea how the GM Board of Directors allows Mary Barra to keep her job. DEI?
Two years ago I got a nicely equipped Silverado 2500 gas crew cab 4x4 for about half the price of the Silverado EV. GM has lost their damn minds.
Scotty: Here in Ecuador diesel is $1.79, regular is $2.76 and premium is $3.99.
Who wants to live in Equador?
Is that per liter or per gallon? Incidentally, Ecuador and Colombia are the two most beautiful countries in the world. We have friends and relatives in both places. Political situation is touch and go sometimes, but the people, the climate and the landscapes are unmatchable.

Have you ever seen the movie It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World? Where Jimmy Durante’s car sailed right out there? 😂
You mean the hovering car. It will go up 6 feet maximum.
I live near a Ford dealership, you can drive behind the lot, they have tons of Lightning EV trucks, all of them are covered with birds poopy and tree sap cause they can’t sell those overpriced and junk cars. The cheaper one is $60k.
To charge a battery in 15 minutes you still need a ginormous amout of electricity input -- where is that going to come from? A nuke behind each charging station?
EVs versus the laws of physics and economics -- physics and economics win in the end every time.
Exactly! It reminds me of the situation in 2020 or 2021? When Texas had those BAD storms and a lot of people didn't have power, and as a result people couldn't charge their EV's. It really showed the weakness and massive flaws in EV's.
In the US as of yesterday ICE vehicles sales has droped 8% while EV has increased by a 3.5%. One is continuosly decreasing in sales, while the other is growing at a steady rate. The total sales volume combined is decreasing, probably due to the high interes rates. Mos people can not afford a new car.
Back in the 80's Old Chuck Harder called the last of the USA TV makers "screwdriver shops". I think he predicted the car and appliance industry as being likewise eventually.
Another day another company shutting down. Good day Scotty. Cheers. 🧨
Thanks Scotty, a champion of We the People.
If people have no jobs, how can they afford a $90K pickup truck?
@mannyg923 people with jobs are questioning paying $90K for a pickup. If can’t make a living without, then figure out a way to make it work or find an alternative
No jobs? We have the highest number of jobs, job openings along with the lowest unemployment in history. With that said most cant afford $90k vehicles.
I have a job. Could even maneuver to afford a $90k truck. But I don't want to spend that much on any vehicle, let alone a sh!tty and/or unproven GM product. No Tesla in my driveway, either. Honda Civic, Ford Fusion and Ford F150 V8 all gas.
I was in the Denver area last week and saw a bunch of Rivians and one F150 lightning. So much money out there
I'm in Florida and I've never seen a Rivian.
I've seen maybe a total of 5 rivians since they came out and I do a lot of driving
Im close to Southlake Texas and I daily see Teslas/Cybertrucks/Rivians/Broncos and even a few Bronco Raptors/F-150 Raptors every day/Ineos Grenadier / already seen the new Toyota Land Cruiser / tons of Range Rover Defenders / Corvettes / that stupid Lambo. suv / every other vehicle is a black Tahoe or Escalade with one person in it. LOL Lots of money around here, but no common sense.
We're they all in the mechanic shop?
@@thebigempty_5792 They sell in the big cities, especially like in moneyed suburbs north of Dallas, but not much elsewhere.
Where's the Stout? I'm tired of waiting to see what it will be.
I go to a station that allows me to pump off-road diesel my truck doesn’t like to run on pump diesel. It’s it’s a 98 7.3 L Ford you got out a gallon of Treatment if you wanted to run pump fuel.
Wow! $94k? For a truck ? I think I could buy a used Lamborghini for less!😕🙃
The difference is that Lamborghini will last longer than that garbage EV.
Used Porsche for sure. I'd rather have one of them. A nice Cayman with a manual would be sweet. Or a C7 Corvette with a manual. That's one of my dream cars. Attainable dream cars that is.
Time to roll out the old ev car blueprints from the 80's, and build them, they were affordable, and worked. Imagine them with our new battery technology.
GM thinks electric trucks are a status symbol and not meant for the common guy/gal.
I agree with you Scotty, a manual transmission is more fun and more reliable
And cheaper to fix/repair if it does mess up, since it is not as complex as an automatic.
Cheap cars use CVT get worst gas mileage then Manual.
Manual transmission replacements are not as cheap as they used to be and the replacements can break in 5,000, mi. It's not the reliable manual transmissions of yesteryear@@FrederickTheAnon14W
All I want in a vehicle is a decent radio, heat, A/C, and ABS. I don't need or have the money for TPMS, GPS, on board computers and sensors everywhere.
I would never buy an electric car...but i can see how in certain urban situations it would make sense. Seems like the makers should look to making ultra cheap, small, no frills versions to get young people to take the electric car plunge or maybe older people to try one for a 2nd car. These 90k electric trucks are stupid. No one is going to try those.
As many have said the only real current use for battery powered vehicles is small ones for kind of local use where they can be plugged in at home at night.
Hybrids were the butter zone. All they had to do was to stop painting them baby blue and more people would've bought them.
Since when does Mary Barra gives a F*** about their customers?
Toyota Celica back! No wonder Scotty is so happy.
In Finland the Diesel was alot cheaper few years back and we have "diesel tax" for it. Now the diesel costs same as gasoline, but the car owners still have to pay the diesel tax/operating power tax on top of that.
Mr. Kilmer, have you heard about the toyota Corolla GR catching on fire, a couple of them already have.
The one reason Toyota said they can't help is because toyota said they were going at 85mph at one point. Which is the dumbest thing I ever heard of from Toyota, like isn't Toyota GR made to go fast like the type R.
Toyota will definitely destroy the reputation by doing that. Incompetence is often what destroys a company.
I let butter drive my Honda Ridgeline with the 9 speed transmission...it said "this thing is smoother than me!!!"
Who wants to pay $100,000 for any pickup truck much less a stupid electric pick up I guarantee you I never will I'll probably cap it at about $10,000 ole '97 Ford F-150 still that's probably still get another 25 or 30 years left in it ... Trump was talking today about how the infrastructure wasn't beefy enough to handle going all electric with the vehicles not only is there not enough electric to go around all the major long span Bridges would have to be reinforced or rebuilt to handle the extra weight
Ford is bringing back a Capri that doesn't look anything like the "Capri"....how crazy is that? I'm buying a TDI diesel and I don't care as long as I don't have to pay 70 grant for a car I have to recharge twice a week with stupid electricity tax money.
And a car that doesn't cost 20-40k every 10-15+ years or so when the batteries eventually need to be entirely replaced. As Scotty said before, people were saying (And betting) that EV batteries would get better quality AND become cheaper, and they haven't. They've become worse quality and more expensive.
Ford Capri is not even the same class. It's not a compact coupe.
My uncle in socal has an electric car. Costs as much in electricity to charge it as it would to just pay for gas!
With the USA being a vast country EV's doesn't make sense as the main mode of transport.
today I saw a Toyota Sequoia V8 for the first time in my life in Austria. Must be because I started watching Toyota fanboy Scotty :D
The last time I owned a Big 3 car was 1991. Crap then, crap now.
These new cars prices baffle me, $90k for a gas hungry truck when you can just buy a used one for $30k.
30k? Holy....Got a 2014 5 speed Patriot with 70k on the odo last summer for 8k. Gonna keep it until it rusts out.
At anywhere near 100,000 bucks, it's no longer a vehicle, it's an albatross!
The Honda CR-Z was a weird quirky sports car. I completely forgot about them.
They don’t think things thru. A EV truck weighs 8k lbs. Can the infrastructure handle this weight? …I don’t think so…
So...in the future, I could get a 5speed jeep to replace my 2014 5speed Patriot. Good to know.
I am hanging on to my car Scottie. Spent 6500.00 this year to fix it but it is a Toyota and I believe I can get another 100,000 out of it. Engine is strong
My neighbor has two golf carts, I don't understand why. Both are gas engines, one has a cab, A/C, heater, windshield wipers. The one with a cab has a base price of $39,000. And he has two cars, and there's just two people in the family. Crazy. And this isn't a warm climate, we're in MICHIGAN!
Because he can, who cares
Must be nice for those rich EV adopters that they could afford and ignore the cost of these toasters on wheels.
Not really, here in Ireland an EV is cheaper than a regular car. Petrol costs are through the roof so many urban folks have switched over. If you get a good electricity plan you can do 100km for less than a euro.
Bronco or Jeep with standard transmissions? Guess I'm out of the market for manual SUVs, since I will never buy a Jeep/Fiat and Ford has gone downhill really fast in recent years.
If the government keeps gas lighting electric vehicles to the public, maybe everybody will want one? Maybe if the government would use them, it could convince a few people because we are a diverse country?
UAW must be liking this ! Window E on the horizon!
So I have a ? Scotty. Why would Tesla sell so many siver truck and GM have no sell none of the sirverado ev, can it be because software problems? Why don’t you talk about that.
Toyota's next generation hybrids it going up to 80mpg miles per gallon 👍.
Why is the Silverado EV over $90,000 in the US, when I have seen them for sale by Dealerships up here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada for under $84,000. Usually if the US price for a base model is $90,000, the Canadian price would be in the $120,000 - $130,000 region. What the hell is going on in this industry?
I drive a 96 ranger with a 4 cyl. Does everything i need a truck to so and im tall enough to actually use the bed.
GM needs to sort out their issues with their V8's first before they venture into anything else.
The only engines they did right was the 6.6L L8T and the 6.6L L5P
The L86/L87 is hot garbage. Trust me. I own a 6.2L and the engine bearings let go 4k miles into ownership.
Very informative . Thanks Scotty .
Maybe you’re getting your info from Montana where there are no people live and slow to catch up
I thought diesel was the left over, trash, byproduct from refining gas.🤔
Diesel may cost more per gallon but costs less per mile. When I got 58mpg going to myrtle beach I did the math. I paid $.80 more per gallon for the diesel than low test gas. A car running on gas would have to get 48mpg to cost the same per mile. Back in 2013 there wasn't a new gas-powered car that got that while averaging 72mph
What gets 58mpg? I had a toyota starlet in 84 that got 50 but they stopped selling it aftet 2 yrs. Lol
@Xxxyyyzzzaaa my 2013 tdi gold got 58 mpg going from PA to myrtle beach averaging 72mph. If I was driving in the middle of the country where it's flay or doing 65mph average I would have got in the 70+mpg range

GDI is killing reliability. Technology is not always a good thing. In fact, the level of technology in today's vehicles is beyond the pale. Its costs are prohibitively expensive to today's consumer. Anything the government has a hand in turns to crap. What do legislators and bureaucrats know besides sitting on their rear ends and pontificating.
GM used to be a good company, not anymore.
Same can really be said with about 90% of companies these days. Sad, but greed, mostly, among other things ruined it all.
Sad
In the 60s GM was king of the world
Oh nice the AWD will really put it in good competition… so long as they don’t price it too high!
I think the fear of them catching fire has something to do with it. Though there’s a far great number of fire in petrol/Diesel engined vehicles. But the initial price puts most people off, especially if you can/need to travel 200mi+ in one go in all weathers, not just in the height of summer. There’s plenty of EVs that do 200mi on the best summer’s day but fall short on a sub 10°C day. I can speak for anyone else, but unless there’s 6” of snow and icy roads, I don’t drive less in winter, just because I need a thick coat & gloves.
It’s no good saying you’ll save money if you work it out for the whole year. The point is, can you drive where and when you need to in any weather and not have to hang around mid way in the same time period as summer? Well yes there are EVs that are capable of that; but you need very deep pockets and an understanding bank manager. And you don’t get to be a bank manager, if you’re understanding. Besides, if you need to borrow money to buy a car/truck, you can’t afford it.
Did you see that video of a guy's EV bike battery? Where it exploded and roasted him alive in an elevator? And then I remember seeing another video where a vehicle was charging and just spontaneously went up next to other vehicles.
I don't want turbocharged engines or all wheel drive. There goes my interest in the Celica.
Is it possible a rich person can buy GM Company cuz trust me even someone earning 40,000 can run modern GM alot better than stupid Mary Teresa Barra and her crew.
It's nice to know that Toyota still kind of have their senses about them and won't make the new Celica and new MR2's hybrids or electrics . I know a lot of people are going to be happy that the Celica is returning !!!!!
Obama and the Democrats never should have bailed out GM. By allowing them to be crutched into building more crappy vehicles that people don’t want, we wasted billions of taxpayer dollars. This is why GM should stand for ‘Government Motors.’
It's the deep state and military who want the car companies bailed out to make vehicles for their endless wars. They are the ones who pressure the government to bail the car companies out
Why did Berry Bama and Democrats make us taxpayers turn GM into Government Motors? Surely politicians and bureaucrats received millions in kickback $$ for saving a company run by Idiots!
I have to correct you Scotty about the subarus. The toyotas are not rebadged subarus. The FRS is 90% toyota only the engine is subaru. The Solterra is 99.9% toyota only the badges are subaru, both cars are using toyota diagnostic software too.
They are not blowing up like the Toyotas tundra are
People and manufacturers are overly concerned with gas mileage. So is the government.
yes they bring back the old loved ones but with the prices we might as well buy the old version better built too
If the built quality was pretty good then I would line up first thing in the morning if they brought back the old Chevy squarebodies such as the C/K and the first generation S10's.
@@FrederickTheAnon14W You could buy a white one and be proud of it.
GM should Revive Pontiac Division. This will save GM.
So diesel is also artificially made expensive to stop you from going anywhere.
What’s up Scotty! Those bangs are looking good son. Keep on rocking
Gotta love their 2000 Silverado. That was a great truck
We bought a swell NEW!! Toyota Corolla Cross LE AWD in October 2023 and have LOVED it ever since 👀❤. NO!!! EV for me ...... NEVER!!!!! - So long . - Aug./17/2024 🤠
Scotty , I don’t want to pay the SALES TAX on a hundred thousand dollars
