walkerjason+FollowWhy I Ditched My EV for a HybridThought EVs were the future? After three years, I hit my breaking point—broken chargers, winter range drops, and repair bills that made my wallet cry. Turns out, charging is a gamble (1 in 5 attempts fail!), winter kills your range, and repairs are pricier than you’d think. The tech is cool, but the headaches? Not worth it. I switched to a hybrid and honestly, the relief is real. Anyone else feeling EV regret? #Cars #ElectricVehicles #EVProblems102Share
Leah Pierce+FollowCybertruck’s Stainless Steel Nightmare?Would you freak out if tree sap left permanent stains on your $80k Cybertruck? That’s what happened to one owner, who says his stainless steel is now totally etched—even after following Tesla’s cleaning tips. Tesla told him sap needs to be cleaned off "immediately" or it’ll cause damage. Some owners say it’s a design flaw, others blame the driver for parking under trees. Would you risk it? Is this a Cybertruck fail or just bad luck? #Tesla #Cybertruck #CarCare #EVProblems #StainlessSteel #Cars272299Share
Michael Wilson+FollowMy Parked Rivian Got Smashed—Now What?!Imagine coming back to your $80K Rivian R1T, only to find it got hit while charging—and the other driver’s insurance maxes out at $10K. That barely covers a fender, let alone EV repairs, loaners, or your time. Even if you’re leasing, you’re still on the hook for diminished value. The real kicker? You have to fight for every dollar, and insurance rarely makes it easy. Pro tip: Always check your own policy for underinsured coverage, and document everything. Ever been in this mess? Drop your story below! #RivianR1T #EVProblems #InsuranceWoes #CarAccident #DiminishedValue #Cars00Share
Lisa Guerrero PhD+Follow8 Reasons I Ditched My Rivian DreamWas this close to buying a Rivian, but wow—there’s a lot they don’t tell you in the ads. The price? Steep. Some features are locked behind a $150/year paywall. Range promises don’t always match reality, and good luck finding a service center if you’re not in a big city. Build quality is hit or miss, repairs are pricey, and there’s no CarPlay or Android Auto. Oh, and customer service? Not winning any awards. Would you still go for it? #Rivian #ElectricVehicles #CarShopping #EVProblems #CarTalk #Cars00Share
emily27+FollowTesla’s Wild Battery Swap SurpriseImagine dropping your brand-new Cybertruck off for a charging issue and finding out you need a whole new battery pack—after just 15,000 miles! That’s what happened to one Arizona owner. The kicker? Tesla swapped out the $10k+ battery for free under warranty, but he was stuck without his truck for weeks (at least the loaner was an upgrade). Some owners are cheering Tesla’s service, but others are getting cold feet about reliability. Would you still take the risk? #Tesla #Cybertruck #EVProblems #CarTalk #TechSurprise #Cars1222Share
Nicole Morgan+FollowWhy Everyone’s Ditching Their EVsElectric cars sounded like the future, but a ton of drivers are switching back to gas or hybrids—and honestly, their reasons make total sense. From broken chargers and long lines to crazy-high insurance and repair costs, EV ownership isn’t as smooth as promised. Apartment dwellers can’t plug in, rural folks are stranded, and even city drivers are over the stress. Add in battery replacement sticker shock and tech glitches, and it’s no wonder hybrids are making a comeback! #EVProblems #CarTalk #HybridLife #ElectricVehicles #WatercoolerMoment #Cars30Share
trhodes+FollowCybertruck Disaster: $100k to $8k?!Edmunds bought a $102k Tesla Cybertruck for testing, but it turned into a total nightmare. After months of glitches (think: steering fails, limp mode, A/C dying), it got hit while parked. The repair bill? Nearly $58k! With endless waits and sky-high costs, they just gave up and sold it for a jaw-dropping $8k. Biggest loss ever for Edmunds—Fisker Ocean, you’re off the hook! Wild, right? #Cybertruck #TeslaFails #CarDisaster #Edmunds #EVProblems #Cars194124Share
walkerjason+FollowTesla Battery Swap Gone Wrong?!Imagine taking your Tesla in for a quick battery swap—only to get it back and realize you can’t charge at home anymore! That’s what happened to one Model 3 owner who got a refurbished battery that only worked at Superchargers because it was meant for Europe, not the US. The Tesla community is split: some say demand a new battery, others say the warranty support is still better than most brands. Would you accept a refurbished battery, or push for a new one? #TeslaLife #EVProblems #CarTalk #TechFails #ElectricVehicles #Cars3711Share
William Goodwin+FollowCybertruck Nightmare: $100K for 4 Days?!Imagine dropping over $100K on a brand new Tesla Cybertruck, only for it to break down after just four days! That’s what happened to Sean in Florida—his truck started flashing wild error messages and wouldn’t go over 5 mph. He tried every Tesla trick in the book, but nothing worked. Ended up on a tow truck back to Tesla. Turns out, he’s not the only one. Would you risk it for the hype? #TeslaFail #Cybertruck #EVProblems #CarDrama #Cars159176Share
Travis Baker MD+FollowRivian Service Drama: Appointment Vanished?!Imagine finally getting your Rivian R1T service lined up, only to find out you’re not even on the schedule anymore. That’s what happened to Keith, who had to dig through his call logs to prove he wasn’t making it up. Turns out, he’s not alone—other owners have had appointments disappear too. Some say the app is way more reliable than calling. If you’re buying a used EV, double-check those updates and always keep receipts. Persistence (and receipts) pay off! #Rivian #EVProblems #CarService #ElectricVehicles #CarCommunity #Cars40Share
