Auto Expert John Cadogan
Australia
Приєднався 5 бер 2010
There are 12 million cars on Australian roads. We drive more than 200 billion kilometres every year. We burn 30 billion litres of fuel. Carmakers sell more than a million vehicles every year in Australia - the most competitive automotive marketplace on earth. Yet buying a car is one of the least pleasant consumer experiences. Almost everyone who does it feels violated.
Look around you: the roads are choked, and the motorist is the quintessential golden goose. The car liberates you and binds you - just try living without one. If you find any or all of that confusing or confronting, or both, you are not alone. And you've come to the right place.

The BYD tsunami hasn't made landfall here in Canuckistan (canada) , even if it does I think I'll stick with my old 1996 GMC rustbucket truck . The old beast has never left me on the side of the road ... yet .
Chinese made electric car what could go wrong 😅
Have you seen the videos of these things breaking in half and also people being able to bend the subframe with a pair of mole grips. Chinesium is dangerous.
China only has ~10,000 of the cars rusting away in the elements because they can't sell them. They wouldn't miss ONE!
But Y, dude?
Any Nobel Laureate physicists or geology professors dropped by to call out your Globalist carbon dioxide bullschidt yet?
I wouldn't go near any of these Chinese vehicles I wonder how they treat there customers in china 🤔
Build Your Dreams (This is a nightmare!)
33
surely the fact that the repair took 3 months, then by definition it was major.
Burn Your Driveway 🤣
Being from Canberra, I now have an uncontrollable urge to Google ‘ACCC at Senate estimates’
So don't buy shit from a country you spend your defense budget on.
Forget ever buying an EV, I wouldn't even park anywhere near an EV especially the Chinese ones.
If you were something like that, I dought anybody would watch, as they will all be sick ..lol
Add BYD to the LONG LIST of DO NOT BUY vehicles!
Mate any chance you could place the ad at the end so I don't need to skip through it thanks in advance
Sponsorblock ( plugin ) Surprised me when it skips all the stuff on johns videos ,
No sympathy. If you don't know not to buy Chinese junk by now, there is no hope for you.
Jeez, you never heard of a petrol car lemon, car yards littered with them!
I thought that only a shitty country like mine can spit such retarted laws dear god...
Der, you don't have to be Einstein
Bloody hilarious video John! However also looking forward to seeing the statistics other car manufacturers handled full refund.
Pitbulls don't bite as often as chihuahuas so they are fine. EV logic to fires.
Finding it hard to feel sorry for them.
LoL if you were not so insanely obsessed with electric car failures, i would take you seriously. Every car manufacturer of combustion engines has failed like this with just as bad a service. Many have knowingly sold cars with cars they know are deadly to drive, cars that have caused deaths due to failed parts, problems they knew about but chose to ignore and blame on the driver. If you do a quick browse of youtube you will come cross many videos of BYD owners that are very happy with their cars. Choosing the worst examples of failures is all fine and good, it gives everyone the opportunity to understand what is going on and how to deal with it. BYD has a good name as a reliable and decent build quality car, it is very cheap for what you buy and they are forced to fix issues that arise, of course they are not going to be happy that someone, after driving the car for a year and putting 33 000 miles on the clock want a full refund when the solution while expensive is to replace the battery that failed.
Thanks for sharing sharing mate I will just stick with what works for me lol

Don't K Mart mechanics work on BDY vehicles ? imagine poor tradie searching the battery section at big K for a suitable fittment.
I can't believe I have that close a relationship with a man on UA-cam be to discussing cleaning my balls... but there it is. A totally platonic relationship, of course.
When you build your dreams by copying one of the 'Techno King's' designs, you are bound to run into problems.
BTW John Hughes in Western Australia also turn off dash cams haha
Dude - the various articles regarding this were more accurate and less time consuming than your video
Wifey bought a new Mazda CX3 today at Mazda Kirrawee NSW. Very happy. So am I.
Clickbaiting bulls**t from a non expert. Bet he never reportsabout warranty issues on ICE cars. PS Have owned BYD EV for ages - zero problems compared to my many ICE cars.
They're lucky - lucky the battery didn't went li-ion runaway.
I think its hilarious how scared people are of EVs. Im sure the oil lobbyists love your continued support. Oh well, BEVs are here
How dare you say three pronged suppository death stars aren't the worst in the world.
Full of shit
Bravo John! Now that was one of your best shit-can for a shit-box presentations in a while… very funny! It’s a pity some poor bugger has to suffer for our enjoyment, but hey, if Blow Your Dildo keeps it up, I’m sure we will have another laugh very soon.
Imaging a electric car going up on a ferry.
Yeah let’s take one isolated incident and make it a bigger thing than it is. I bought a new Skoda 3yrs ago and the head gadget blew after 9mths but you don’t see me going to the media about it.
BTW I had to pay out of pocket for it, at least they got their battery replaced
@@mrflibble1985 I found the sucker!
Undead of Pinto.
Bully your Drivers 🤣🤣🤣🤣 perfect name
BYD == Burn Your Dearest
I’m pretty sure there’s a crime in deleting other people footage from their sd cards. Should fall under some from form of wrongful access of an electronic device law. Possibly could also be destruction of evidence if the cools were talking about ombudsman’s
Imagine Burning Your Dealership(and maybe the brand) over the price of a battery? Should send that SD card to data recovery ;)
Had two manscapes. The first refused to charge from day 1. They replaced it. That lasted about a year and it failed too.
Here we go!
I think Australian consumer law is far too over the top in favour of consumers. Replacing the battery in this case would be much fairer, in my opinion. 33,000 km that's a lot of use. If the replacement battery can not be done at a level that is equal to new, then the car should be replaced for new, not refunded. A loaner car that they can put 8500km on in 3 months seems rather generous. Also remember that their 33000km car now has a brand new unused battery increasing its value.
We are paying 3 seperate taxes in one transaction if you spend over the ridiculous lct threshold
