The Truth About Dash Cams: Which Ones Work and Which Are Total Crap
A tidy-looking installation isn't necessarily a trouble-free one. In Scotty Kilmer's dash-cam test, he says an OEM-style camera that tapped into his Toyota Camry's factory wiring triggered warning lights. His alternative includes showing how he concealed the wires for a Viofo setup without dismantling the dashboard.
That practical buying guide is the channel's busiest video by daily views right now, having passed roughly 108,000 views. It ranges from basic cameras to a more expensive Vantrue system with parked-car protection, with Kilmer also explaining his objections to wireless options.
Nine uploads arrived over the week. The most watched, "Why Nobody's Buying EVs Anymore (And Detroit Is Losing Too)", reached about 160,000 views. Kilmer's argument centers on U.S. sales, Volkswagen's ID.4 and his contention that manufacturers have neglected affordable, fuel-efficient cars. In the comments, viewers bring the discussion back to simple requirements: a reasonable purchase price, repairability and memories of basic Civics. Others question whether the title's broad EV premise fits markets outside the United States.
The subscriber count stayed unchanged, while daily viewing is running noticeably above its usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, Donut is also having a particularly busy viewing day; MotorTrend is closer to its normal rhythm.
Kilmer's other practical assignments included winter preparation and costly ownership mistakes. Coolant, batteries, tire pressure and dash-cam wiring made this a week as much about keeping an existing car usable as deciding what to buy next.
