Just took me 20 mins to change the battery on the Leon because VW see fit to make you remove 4 pieces of trim to reach the battery clamp. Stupid modern cars. Used to take 5 mins back in the day.

@mrjalco to change the headlight bulb on a Tesla Model S you have to remove the corresponding front tire and lining.

I should make a t-shirt with that line.

@vinc @mrjalco I think early ones are HID so should last ok. Changing the 12v battery is a bit of a swine as well!

@vinc it’s just… I mean… urgh. Honestly, as a designer I know engineering limitations require compromise sometimes, but really now, that is incredibly stupid.

@mrjalco yep. It is an amazing car and I love it to death, but there are some choices that are truly baffling.
