This Stupid Electric Car Keeps Breaking

You need to own a Volkswagen with the 2.0T. I have one in my driveway right now. Timing chain tensioner failed, and the car is worth less than a replacement engine. This stuff feels fixable, to me. :)

Roy & Yvette Cope

Not shocked, but am surprised by the speed of it breaking. Impressive!

Additions to the never ending list of projects. Remember, have fun with it!

George Passantino

Same. How can you make only a few hundred cars AND have parts fail at the rate that they do?

George Passantino

It was frustrating when they did a class action lawsuit, and said they would fix it on their dime. Then said "Oh, only 100K miles or less" (checked odo-meter, 135K)

Im really interested to see the eco display module repair.

I now have big project plans for everything but the Trabant. I'll never get back to the bus at this rate

Tedd ILL

I wish I could come by and help with the list. But alas, I to have an ever growing list myself.

Arni Bjorgvinsson

Entirely shocked. Shocked beyond belief. Wait, no. Too bad you don't have any parts for that thing...

Misha Dellinger

Man, all of those problems are annoying, but even MORE annoying is the fact that you probably can't get any parts anywhere.

Just replace "Studebaker" with "Supid Coda," and you've got a theme song for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwM8lQJziRs

Evan Hartmann

I guess a good way of describing buying a Coda would be: I wish I Coda bought a different car.

Think of it as a public service to Reliant Robin owners everywhere, who can point to you and say "but at least I didn't ..."

I can't wait for the video generating module, been wondering a long time how, where and what it contains. And from my experience cold temps usually just upsets either bad power regulation circuitry to just eating a board up from humidity and thermal expansion and shrinkage (damn sensors that monitor material during thermal tests). I've repaired a few PAL generating circuits and none have really been too easy to fix so good luck! Thanks a huge amount too for making these awesome videos

Now we all know why you bought this car, you don't have enough things to keep you busy. Plus, we'll get at least 10 videos from your list.

Looking forward to all these. This isn't a car. It's a project generator with 4 wheels. That said I do like the kludge of piping the "green screen" from a far away module on the rear view display input. Maybe you could replace that by a Raspberry Pi reading off the sensors if you have access to them :-)
