      it should be SO SIMPLE to have it automatically correct. ffs, we had on-the-fly digital calibration figured out with PS2 GAMES, but i guess making a fucking car isn’t as important as compensating for old joysticks.

          Disclaimer: I am European, I use kilometers. Realized after the whole paragraph.

          About 100% of the price. It is worth nothing, and yet it has a non-zero price. Pre-release i though it looked goofy, saw the price and said to myself it is wildly overpriced. Saw the reviews and I wouldn’t want it free.

          Most cars don’t see issues before 35k. None of the cars my family owned (7 different) didn’t have any (apart from one battery issue that basically prevented the car from starting up and required a support person to go reset the car on site).

          Hell my 33k Citroën (don’t judge me) C3 didn’t even need geometry fixup. The only issue was a marten chewed on my engine cooling pipe, leaked all the coolant and started overheating the engine on the highway. Fixable with some rubber pressure bandaid and 2$ roll of tape. The pipe was a $40 fix including shipping the pipe from France and work.

      Not the issue, I have a Kia EV6 and have had no issues with steering. Just shitty Tesla thing.

        The Kia EV6 is a fairly conventional electric power steering system, pretty sure. Steering wheel is physically connected to the steering rack, so not steer-by-wire.

      I’m guessing there is a recalibration mode but I’m sure the modern car market would demand you go to the dealership to run that program.
