Nah I’ve watched B is for Build for a while, I’d say the guy is legit.

The YouTube channel in question is the popular B is for Build

I know this is a petty complaint and there are 100 worse things that these awful people did, but also- fuck them for naming this poor kid Huxley.

Storage for devices that run personal/government/military computers is far more essential than manufacturing for niche vehicles during a pandemic where tons of people aren't driving.

It makes a little more sense that a hard disc drive manufacturer/data storage company might be considered essential while an electric (largely luxury) car manufacturer is not.

I could say the same about BMW.  To change out the filter housing gasket, right in front in plain view, you must remove the intake manifold.

It’s complex in the sense that there’s one crazy piece of metal with all kinds of valves jammed into it, but the components that fail don’t seem to be that difficult to replace. It’s also located in a reasonably accessible part of the car. My guess is that you’d just pop the whole unit out, pop out the failed…

And even then, they design them even more to be more of a “swap out the entire assembly for a new one” way of doing it, then they can take the parts to another facility for diagnosis rather than having a customer wait however it takes. 

My guy, nobody gives a shit about serviceability.

Tesla fanboi “that’s kind of amazing that someone could manufacture such a complex aluminum manifold... No way a legacy manufacturer could ever do that.”

David, David, David. How could you even consider buying your way out of this? Think of US, your loyal readers.

4th option: buy another Jeep

That’s sort of a poor mans quick fitment check.

And for that, she is now dead to us.

I think its going to be bad but not as bad as we think it would be. Everyone's is just in a doom mode right now and is expecting bad news. Foot traffic has decreased in dealers for obvious reasons, but that hasnt stopped car buying. The industries affected by the pandemic (mainly service industries) couldn’t afford to…

For some perspective, back in the 2008 recession, Chrysler’s “voluntary” VTIP buyout program took white collar headcount down 25% permanently.

He cuts his salary, which is probably not much in regard of his overall compensation.

Makes completely no sense how they built a business that way.

Good. The trucks should be crushed and molded into the shape of a Prius. 

You know what I don’t need? Screens that stretch from pillar to pillar. There are a limited number of things I need to know while I’m driving. Speed, maybe the remaining range, and then the info about what song is playing, or what playlist I’m on.
