And far be it for Land Rover owners to throw stones as it relates to reliability, but there’s the small matter of six million Hyundai/Kia cars being subject to recalls in the US alone due to engine fire risks (and others). Every brand has its issues and every brand is doing the best it can to manage the supply chain uncertainties.

Land Rover is no different, and it’s harder still when your total volume is relatively low.

Oh yes, and the small matter of Hyundai being in a spot of bother after getting caught allegedly using child labor in Alabama.

Don’t need a key with a KIA, just a USB cord

and with the EVs you need a battery charger for the 12v battery because it dies often, as they haven't quite figured out how to not do that. It's hilarious to me that the 12v is the weak link in most EVs these days. don't get me wrong, I love my EVs (own two) just funny where the 'problems' are in them vs a gas car.
