    As a Part Interpreter, I find its estimate to be accurate. 21% chance of 2040 before 80% unemployment.

    All the current LLM-based quoting and estimating products are absolutely atrocious, despite what Insurance Companies and Panel Shops assume.

    When repairing a vehicle, you need intimate knowledge of how the vehicle is manufactured and assembled.

    Assembly by robots can be automated, but fixing the problems associated with collisions requires experience and knowledge.






  • A lot of manufacturers sell vehicles at cost price in the hopes of making it up in after sales (parts and servicing). Most EVs require very little regular expense (cabin filters, brakes and tyres), so they try to make up the difference in subscriptions and “value added” services.

    Sometimes those “value added” services aren’t adding value to their customers; they are “adding value” for business partners.

    You would think that a car that is sold at a premium price would be exempt from these nasty little scams.
