13 Hidden Features You’ve Missed in Your Car

Chances are your car, no matter the make or model, has some hidden features that can significantly enhance your driving experience. We live in a fast-paced world where humans hardly have time to read their cellphone’s user manual, let alone the 400 to 500-page car owner’s manual waiting patiently in the glove box. Perhaps, our dwindling attention span is why automakers like Rivian and Tesla go out of their way to hide Easter Eggs for their customers to devote time and attention to discover. These hidden treasures, when found, can enhance the driving experience or even the quality of life. Similarly, many hidden gems that aren’t Easter eggs go unnoticed because they’re buried deep amidst the array of bells and whistles in modern automobiles. We’ve dug up 13 of such hidden features.

LA med student turns small van into ideal dorm on wheels, $14K total

Ethan Liebross didn't want to take out more loans for medical school so he decided to convert a 2015 Ford Transit into an off-grid home to live in for his four years of school. With some help from his dad on the off grid system, Ethan worked 9-to-5 for two months to create a vehicle with the details of a modern home: butcher block countertops, custom-cut memory foam mattress, a gas range and a stainless steel sink with a pressure washer. UCLA medical school sits in the pricey Westwood neighborhood of LA so most of Ethan’s classmates are paying $1800 a month rent for a studio. Ethan appreciates not having to take out more loans, but he also hopes that living this way will help make him a more compassionate doctor. https://www.youtube.com/@ethanliebross Justin Montgomery's converted 2018 Ford Transit @mathematicalpower Teresa (& Pedro)'s converted 2003 Ford E-450 Ambulance Instagram @cuvanos_ On *faircompanies https://faircompanies.com/videos/med-student-turns-small-van-into-ideal-dorm-on-wheels-14k-total/
