Just put a little piece of duct tape over the "check engine light". Problem solved.
What does it cost to scrap a hybrid/full electric vehicle?
If a normal hybrid battery replacement is $1000 to $8000, this looks like greedflation in action.
You can buy two fairly decent gasoline guzzlers for that much money and they’ll last you for several years each. I find it hilarious to watch delivery drivers tooling around in their Tesla or Benz delivering pizza... Seriously?
Was it under warranty [NO!]? Then don't do that.
Remove the battery and just use the engine , you may need a few hacks ,LOL
Don’t think of it as $20,000, think of it as an investment to fight Climate Change and save the Planet……. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My friend, who bought a new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid last year got rearended last week.
So now he is having trouble finding a repair shop who will agree to fix it.
And, by the way, this same friend was one of the first people to get the Moderna vaxx jab and he has had major health problems since then.
Lesson to the rest: “It is not a good idea to be the first person to buy some new and untested product.”
Folks who can’t be bothered to research costs associated with the vehicle they’re looking to purchase deserve what they get.
Caveat emptor.
I’ve met a number of people with hybrid cars who will never buy another hybrid again.
But he does get $20,000 of Virtue Signals.
Not only that, if an EV’s batteries catch fire in your garage, bye bye house. Those battery fires are almost impossible to put out.
I know the feeling, had to replace the sparkplugs last week and set me back $60.
When the Nazi Klaus Schwab and World Enslavement Forum takeover the world in 2030 there will be no cars and everyone will have to wear a uniform ,Oh and eat bugs
Remember how we blew the crud out of our carburetors on a straightaway with no cops around? No cost maintenance, and some fun.
Find another dealer. Crooks abound.
A friend inherited a HD 1200 Sportster. It had been in a garage for 5 years. He took it to an HD dealer and they told him that it would cost $5000 to make it road ready. He tells me this and I laugh. I got it going for him for about $300. Oil, filters, battery, brake fluid, new gas, carb cleaner. Tires were good.
Ripoffs abound in the transport industry. Always seek another opinion.
Compare with conventional car.
Replaced the one for my ‘19
Sentra yesterday. $190 installed
at Pep Boys.
I love this item.
So full of BS and euphemism’s
+ for those looking for a used hybrid, look out

Basically I was told that there is an issue with one of the battery modules but it’s gonna cost me 12k just for the parts because they need to replace the whole battery pack.
An Arizona car owner was duped by false advertising + Climate hysteria and fear
... for a check engine light.... AKA the money light
.. $18,000 for the battery and another $2,000 to have it installed... run, its a money pit
.. less than 70,000 miles on it ... that battery baked in the AZ heat, and now its shot.
...According to Nerdwallet,... Nerdwallet does not know its a$$ from page 3
Electric and hybrid vehicle batteries are warrantied for eight years or 100,000 miles. Batteries start to lose capacity after you drive off the lot. Q. How many useful KwH do you have at 100,000 miles?
According to Brauer, the batteries regularly last much longer. Brauer is a dimwit
“It’s not uncommon for these batteries to last 15-plus years and more than 150,000 miles,” Brauer said. Brauer has never opened an owners forum, see link above. EPA told me I could get 38 mpg from my car. Still waiting for that dream to come true
..“So, $20,000 or a pile of scrap metal in my driveway,”.. Park it on your lawn, your neighbours will forever be reminded you care about mother urth
It gets expensive to “save da planet”.
