    It's fantastic that these cars use ready-to-go off-the-shelf components, readily available software and easily replaceable/upgradeable batteries.
    Even though doing this makes the interior look kinda like a DIY project, I way prefer that to vehicles that are completely custom and unrepairable, if a button or switch breaks you can change it out within the same day by just dropping by your local auto parts store.
    Also goes to show even with a compact design you can still build a product to be repair-focused if you just put in a bit of thought and effort.
    I wish all companies built products that were this right-to-repair focused, would make a world of difference for their longevity and ease of use repairability.

    "The lights are on all the time when the key is on. You can't turn them off." Honestly, this is how cars should be. If daytime running lights are good for safety (and they are), and if digital instrument clusters make it less obvious to drivers when they should turn on illumination (and they do), then just have the lights on all the damn time. Have the lighting circuit get powered by a "hot with key on" source, or whatever the equivalent is called in this largely keyless day and age.

      ​@@notanavrageloser Early-mid-2000s Chevrolets (at least some) had almost this feature. The lights stayed on while the car was running and turned off automatically a few seconds after turning the car off. At least in the Impalas from that era there was no switch to change that behavior, although I have since driven cargo vans that have additional options (though the behavior I've described is available and what I leave it on).
      I wish more manufacturers did things that way. It would prevent situations like driving in heavy fog with visibility less than 200 feet and having oncoming traffic materialize in front of you without their lights on.

    • @notanavrageloser
      @notanavrageloser Před 2 měsíci

      @@benjaminmiddaugh2729 did they? The GMs I have experience with had an “auto” position on the switch that used some sort of sensor and would turn the lights on when it got dark enough. But my knowledge of GMs is by no means encyclopedic - just a couple Colorados, Cobalts, and my current Bolt.
      Subaru used to have their lights “hot with key on” (source: my 1996 Legacy Outback, 1997 Impreza Brighton, 2002 Impreza TS) and later went to “hot with key in” (2012 Impreza) with an auxiliary switch to turn the parking lights on without the keys. I don’t know if they still do that, but it was just about perfect in my opinion.
