Another $56k Ionic6 battery replacement totaled car.

[Ws6]

Over 12,000,000 of those engines were made, and they're still being made. The problem should have put them out of business by now. What did you say 100K for Hyundai? If that. When they hit over 12,000,000 EV's with that battery setup let me know, and we can compare notes. Oh and Chrysler 3.6L engine equipped vehicles aren't being written off as a result.

Wild that with aaaalllll those engines made it's taken 4 months to get parts for his, innit? #BigProblems

Also, no, it's a cheap mass produced engine. I doubt it totals a car if that boat anchor needs replaced.

They're just wriggling out of their horrid design is all, lol

Anything can have problems, but to go so far as to find 2 cars out of 50,000 over 2 years that were damaged because they were driven over unknown items in the road to then crow about "Ah they're horrible!!!!!" is just insane.

LOL not as big a problem as a car getting written off for a bad battery design.

By all means, explain how you came to the conclusion that it's a bad battery design.

Then it's a bad car design if a pot hole or hitting something on the road is taking out a battery that costs enough to total the car. Something it wrong, pick it, bad battery or bad car design?

12,000,000 and counting on the 3.6L. When Hyundai gets there let me know and we can really debate it. With 100K on the road, they have a lot of catching up to do.

So who has a better battery design in a vehicle of comparable price? What makes it better? Tell us all about this.

I have no clue. I think the EV battery is in its infancy stage and none of them have it right, yet.

I mean, the same can be said for the 3.6L, but as you seem to think...they work just fine, don't they? Does yours? Okay then, lol! Mine, too.

All car makers have problems. I haven't seen or heard of one 3.6L Chrysler vehicle under warranty being written off for an engine problem.

Well yeah, its cheap. Im not really excited by that as much as I am performance.

Do we actually know what happened here though?

Only if you are tied into the psychic network. Or buy into ATTACK robot stories. Omniscience for the win!

You'll have to go back 5 pages to the starting post in this thread and decide for yourself. It did manage to generate 5 pages worth of replies and some pretty interesting comments. It went OT and brought in ICE vehicles and Robots.

I’ve read it, I’m just wondering if I missed what the actual cause was here. Susceptible to damage is one thing, but I just wonder how hard this hit was. I’ve had cars damaged by road debris before. A truck tread separated and took out half the front end of my wife’s Nissan Versa once. Mind you it wasn’t a battery, but I’m sure whatever this was had to be solid.

How long before an enterprising young man, makes a heavy duty skid plate for them, and becomes a millionaire.

Tesla has them. Noone is a millionaire yet fron that, I don't believe.

Ask 1000 people what is the best brand of car, and get a lot of different answers.
Ask the same 1000 people which is worst, also get a lot of different answers. But we are entitled to our opinions, right or wrong, and then what seperates us is, can we discuss it rationally, or sink to making it personal attacks. I like a good debate, despise personal attacks.
I'm not an ev fan, but do not hate them either.

Pretty sure Tesla is the most polarizing, Land Rover (in America) is the least reliable, and Ford is the "missed most chances to improve but chose to be poor and stupid. Again." though.

I'd say so. Everyone is more than willing to let you know, positive or negative, but almost everyone that has an opinion of any vehicle has a strong one for or against Tesla. I think I'm pretty wishy washy about them as an owner though.
