This has nothing to do with EVs, and likely all new Hyundais do (or will?) use this same diagnostic system.

For comparison, Teslas do not require purchase of their software for basic maintenance, the service mode that is accessible to the user is amazing, has so many diagnostics tools available for free.

Oh and by the way, from my experience Teslas don’t ever need brake pads replaced unless you are taking the car to the track. I suspect the same is true for most other EVs.





Tesla was locked down for a long time. The service manuals were only made available in the beginning to people living in new hampshire (?)

I believe you have to own a car and log in to access all of this stuff.
