I love when car manufacturers tie an error message to stuff like throttle control, steering, and braking, but also associate it with one of a dozen digital sensors going bad for any reason.

@1967GTO Yeah smartass but this clearly isn't any of those I was driving for over 2 hours yesterday perfectly fine, it's some god damned sensor. And the dealership can't even get me in until the end of the month anyways so wtf am I supposed to do?

@Shadowman311 Trust me, I feel your pain. I was buying electronics for a car that shouldn't have needed replacements for many many years to come.

@Shadowman311 go and buy a $40 code reader on amazon or whatever. Check around real quick to make sure that model jives with your specific vehicle (probably it’s fine). Couple days shipping, get your answer, clear the code.

@Mutsu_a125 @Shadowman311 I remember having a car give out an error message via the "check engine" light and I took it to a shop that was owned by my car's manufacturer.. and they couldn't figure out why it was giving the error other than the error message itself being the error.

@Shadowman311 @1967GTO >the dealership can't even get me in until the end of the month anyways so wtf am I supposed to do?This is collapse. I had a more minor issue with my car and it was a month and a half before they could fit it in the shop's schedule. It's only half fixed and the remaining part is still on backorder over a month later. Really, what do you do if you work a real, non-emailrace job with a 45 minute commute because you can't live any closer due to crime and your car is sidelined for 2 months waiting on parts? We've been coasting on the remaining slack in the system provided by the fact big assets (cars, HVAC, etc) really don't break in a catastrophic way all that often. That's quickly running out.

@Shadowman311 @1967GTO On the positive side the dealship is just going down the trouble shooting tree and those are often wrong.Example: coworker had CEL for something and dealer said he needed new cat converter for 3 grand. Ignored noise coming from a idler pully bearing.Turns out it was just the bearing putting load on engine at idle causing mixture to be messed up so the electronics pointed to a bad cat.Get the code reader and see if theres dedicated car forum topic about it. (This is why pre facebook forum culture is a lost treasure)

@TurboNormie @1967GTO @Shadowman311 Matches with my personal experience. I'm in a quite rural area, so the demand is lower and yet it still is 5-7 days before I can get a car into the mechanic. The mechanic says they are short staffed which is why they also stopped working on Saturdays.

@Shadowman311 @1967GTO You could try getting some kind of OBD2 reader and then check the codes and perhaps faulty sensors yourself. Or avoid too new cars, its shit full of DRM :/

@Shadowman311 I love how all the arbitration ID's of those sensors are, for the most part proprietary. Even if you sniff the data you have no idea what the fuck you are looking at.

@TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO The key is that this stuff is getting worse, not better. The normie cope was "just a bumpy ride as we exit lockdown", then "war in Ukraine". By next year there will be some other cope and meanwhile the situation has shifted so much that it's just normalized. A guy I know tried to buy a new vehicle and it's been on order for months, meanwhile he's relying on rides from people since he lives in the country. It's unsustainable.

@interalia @Shadowman311 @1967GTO This is 100% the reality we're now in and people are slowly normalizing it without ever acknowledging it. It's only going to get worse too. We reorganized the entire economy around the need to commute to work because jews destroyed urban America with niggers and any and all industry and manufacturing that could relocate to exurb or rural areas did so. Now practically everything made in this country is made by labor that absolutely has to have a car but increasingly cannot afford or maintain reliable transport. There are only so many subprime used Nissan Altimas below the 150k mile CVT hand grenade limit available to keep the economy chugging along. I just hopped on Craigslist for a laugh and all that's available in that critical sub-$5k price range are absolutely ragged out, 200k mile, mid-00's beaters. That's ~5 years and 75k more miles worse than what the market was just 2 years ago.

@TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO At my work, the two big discussion points are always cars and housing and how much commuting sucks and how expensive it all is. A lot of the younger guys either live with parents or are in some horrible roommate situation. There was broad consensus with them that if there was some kind of company housing, they'd probably live in it, at least temporarily, if it was free/a good deal, even if it meant they had to put up with dormitory-style rules. I think with factory reshoring coming as the global trade situation continues to crash and burn and never come back, and new factories popping up in exurban areas, you'll start to see companies either busing people in (already the case in some places) or building some limited housing.I grew up in an area with lots of old company towns and they weren't bad compared to modern residential areas (which are existentially horrific) and did develop community, largely because of the inherent instincts of pre-millennial, pre-boomer white working-class people to socialize and build community, but you can tell they were a step down from actual incorporated municipalities, and by the time the companies gave them up/shut them down, most had incredible infrastructure debt as companies didn't want to proactively maintain the roads and water/sewer/electrical infrastructure.What I could see in the long-term today, if current trends continue, might be new factories being co-planned with residential areas, but the residential developments contracted out to separate companies, as I don't think large industrial employers have the Henry Ford taste for micromanaging employees off the job.

@sargoysmuck @Paultron @TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO I'll always believe the primary motivator was just to give a boost to the auto manufacturing sector so it would sell more new cars by taking a chunk out of the used market. However I think now, the opportunities for tyranny and control have become much more attractive with 20 years of Patriot Act type stuff under their belts.

@TurboNormie @interalia @Shadowman311 @1967GTO When you take a step back and really look at it, it's appalling just how much living standards have declined in the last 20 years. Think of how many millennials are living with roommates or even their parents, and the median age for millennials is somewhere in the 30s. So many people under 40 are locked out of not only the new car market, but the housing, rental and used car markets as well. Everything has become so much more expensive, and wages haven't kept up at all. Imagine how bad things will get once they phase out ICE vehicles. You'll have people splitting cars just like they currently split apartments.

@DW2 @TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO The rise of pay-per-ride, subscription, "carsharing" services is partially about this imo. I feel like as I've gotten older, I've lost a lot of outrage at this stuff and started just focusing on the questions of: what social changes will they push, and how do we endure it? Most Americans, even if they're poor, are not really prepared for boiling all their water, heating with a woodstove, needing to carry around their belongings everywhere. It isn't just a matter of the "soft and comfortable" lifestyle but also adaptations. I see homeless guys riding jankbikes with DIY trailers or shopping carts hitched up to them and think that that's probably how a decent chunk of America will be living in a generation. If they're lucky, maybe the bikes will have electric assist with an unreliable battery hooked up to it. Energy getting expensive changes a lot of things.

@interalia @TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO I wasn't even aware of carsharing and subscription services until you just mentioned it. Sure enough I look it up and I find the screenshot below.When you read between the lines, it's obvious the point of this stuff is to get people acclimated to significantly reduced living standards. But it's for the environment goy!Also, I'd bet anything you'll see a lot of Wall Street-backed startups services start to appear with the goal of promoting this stuff, kinda like how Uber got all that investor money even though it's never turned a profit.

@DW2 @TurboNormie @Shadowman311 @1967GTO It can be hard to tell with this stuff sometimes because there's a bifurcation. The "whales" of this stuff financially are, let's say, some tech work-from-homer who might only need a vehicle occasionally, or jetsetter types who want a cheap rental car. Remember it's tech people who come up with this stuff and design it around themselves so there's always that kind of lunacy involved, life situations you'll never deal with because they're so niche. But a lot of this stuff ends up being de facto for people who can't afford to own stuff and end up paying fees over and over just to use it.And yeah, re: Uber, you can get funny money to fund anything nowadays. The US dollar is worthless.
