which manufacturer first comes to your mind that ignores most, if not all of these rules?

Sometimes I think they do it out of spite, particularly when they use random triple square fastener.

Chinese car manufacturers. China has the world's largest new car market since 2009 though. So those new cars are definitely selling and the chinese car manufacturers are making money.

Subaru certainly ignores the no tools to work on rule whenever they can.

all those yuro cars in straya basically

Literally all of them, the only exception being old air cooled VW's, 60's/70's Jap/German motorcycles.
I've never hated working on a car as much as I hate working on my Foz. It's a great car, but there's absolutely nothing elegant about it's design or construction.

Should I go for mechanical? Choosing between computer engineering and mechanical, car engines could be fun.
Kevin Bailey
Go for mechatronic.

There's an user here that frequently complains about all the specialty tools needed for those. I'll check the archive to find the post.

mechanical, more fields to choose from.

Currently in Texas A&M Aero and the job prospects don't look great.
It's literally just Boeing.

Lmao yeah dude why the fuck do I have to take my air filter and batter out just to change 7 dollar spark plugs?
On the bright side my oem radiator was made of plastic and only costs 50 bucks to replace.

>Device VW 297
the fact that they have 296 other devices as well as the clinical name is so fucking German

Lol this is probably why there is only one single running Tiger tank left in the entire world.
Hudson Scott
what do you mean by that?
Henry Cruz
finding the parts and tools is almost impossible

You can tell a mechanical eng wrote that. Holy shit those mouthbreathers barely speak english.

Not really. I'd wager it was a first or second year student trying to appear smarter than he is.
At no point is there mention of the added cost these things incur, or less reliability/complexity.
Microcontrollers and electronics actually simplify things and reduce cost. "no tools needed" results in weird problems where a simple bolt would have solved the issue, and added cost. Packaging won't always allow for easy access, and the list goes on.
There usually are good reasons for products being the way they are. Specialty tools can fuck off, though.

i think it should be law that all fasteners are standardized based on application
i hate it when people mix and match skrews and bolts
