I pulled the trigger on 2019 Scat Pack Charger

Let me relate a recent event that happened to a customer

Said customer was a good friend of one of our salesguys and asked him to find a used Kia SoulEV the completely electric model for running around the small town they lived in. We searched for one and found the only one for sale on the west coast. We had it shipped in and the customer took delivery. A month later he had a problem with the charging system (known issue) and took the car to the biggest Kia Dealer in Calgary. They promptly told the customer they did not have an EV trained tech and couldn’t do the warranty work. The closest Dealer was in BC 700kms away. (The max range on this car is 100km) so Kia shipped the car to Kelowna and the warranty work was completed...however now that it’s fixed they won’t ship it back. Given the range of the car and the distance between charging stations the car can not be driven. The customer is on the hook for shipping it back to Alberta. Kia customer service just hangs up on them. Quite the experience Kia is showing its customers who choose this bullshit technology that can’t be driven to a Dealer for service. Guess they shoulda bought a Hemi....

Wow!

Just changing the battery(s) is a dangerous mission on electric cars!

As long as nothing is damaged and the directions are followed, it's not so bad. The first responders at a crash scene are in the most jeopardy, followed by the poor sucker towing the carcass away. By the time the body shop looks at it, anything real bad has probably happened (if its going to), but their job has some real hazards as well.

In a perfect world, the battery pack can isolated without needing special gloves. Crap gone wrong, and a $200+/- pair of gloves better be in good condition before you start working.

Wait until they get old, ever have a wire connector fail or insulation get damaged? There's more fun on the horizon as these cars age.
 
Seen this on another forum.

Nice work!

Cooks Dodge had this parked behind the shop this morning. I don't know if its here for sale or service. Don't even know if it runs....

Wow.

1.3 seconds 0-60 mph.

I think it broke traction and was wheel spin......

GM does real time data logging of your car through it's OnStar gadget.
Halfway through the 1/4 mile, they call you to tell you you're violating the warranty.
Ask any Corvette driver. :rolleyes:
 
Bob you should plug in one of those Progressive driving monitor things that "Flo" is always hawking into your car... their minds would explode! :rofl:
 
While up in the Wisconsin Dells over the 4th of July weekend, I spotted this 2019 Redeye Hellcat, with the new wide body appearance package in the parking lot while going out for dinner at Buffalo Phil's. I was surprised to see it though, cause I thought the Redeye wasn't going to be available until September.
Rated at 787 HP from the factory, this car is soooo bad ***.
