$6k taillight (assembly) replacement Hummer EV
- Thread starter andrew_j
- Start date
What are the "animations" mentioned in the article?
$6100?? That would buy 90% of the cars I’ve owned in my lifetime! COMBINED!!
That's just a hair more than what each Litronic assembly cost for my 996.
2015 Ford F150.
Taillight price: $100
Oh, I'm sorry. You have blind spot detection?
Taillight price: $900
Ford put the blind spot radar in the taillight, which increased the replacement cost 900%.

That's why I used to love the local junk yards. $2. Which is all I had anyways...

I remember South Main Auto railing about a $1,500 taillight for a late model Silverado. Not surprised a $115k vehicle has $6k taillights. Bet it isn't the only one.

This electric future looks... brilliant!
You can't even get INTO a junkyard for $2 these days.

That piece of junk is that expensive?
That is a certified POS in every way. Anyone who buys that has a dim bulb or all their dogs are not barking IMO.
EVs are a solution in search of a problem.
lets not forget insurance costs for these high powered vehicles. Though I suspect as time goes on and people start getting whacked with those costs they will tame down the HP. But what do I know?

You know why the taillight is $6,100? Because the vehicle is $115k.
This is the new scheme. Make everything associated with something expensive, expensive as well because, why not? You know the target is ok with spending the money already. Like shooting mullet in a barrel of mud.

I never understood the appeal of the old Hummer, unless you had Swarzenegger money. My next door neighbor had 2 of 'em. Neither one fit in the garage.
I don't understand the appeal of this one either.
Of course, it's your money, so whatever floats your boat, as they say.

they finally beat the XLR with the ridiculously over priced light assembly
