I truly don’t understand how in 2023 with all the digitalization we have cars with backup cameras from at best a 2015 mid range smartphone. What’s preventing a manufacturer like bmw for an example from putting a high end sony sensor like the one on the iPhone 15 into their camera modules?
I wish the industry would apply this philosophy more often. Heard that a Jaguar windshield can cost $5,000 to replace, and saw a video where a single Ford truck taillight assembly replacement cost $5,400.
Tail/headlights costing $1000+ is the norm now, even on stuff that isn’t “fancy”
We sit around wondering why car insurance is going through the roof. Well, a fender bender is $10,000 in damage on an economy car these days, and people won’t look up from their phones so accidents are more and more frequent.
100%. If you ask me, we should have stopped at power windows lol
Yes, a headlight for a south american made Hilux is $1000 in south america
How do they sell cars so cheap if the total price of even a few individual items is more than the car?
And you have to pay that if 1 led burns out.
Isn’t that just the manufacturer overcharging for parts for the most part? Like there is no way a taillight assembly is 10% of the cost of a truck.
We know it’s not a real supply shortage if the parts were that much before covid.
