In a video documenting his experience, Entrepreneur Thomas Remo picked up his £64815.22 ($82,000) electric vehicle (EV) in Irvine, California. Remo’s excitement turned sour when the truck “broke not even six inches off the lot” and “failed another 30 times” throughout the first day.

    Caused by a steering failure that limited vehicle speed to 4mph…

    While steer-by-wire systems promise benefits like improved handling, potential downsides include increased maintenance costs. More importantly, as Remo’s experience shows, any glitch in the system could lead to a complete loss of control.

    He’s lucky it happened immediately and not half an hour later in traffic.

    But this is what happens when you do zero quality control.
