Sold a brand new car with a major electrical issue that cannot be diagnosed. What should we do?

Preface that this is in Houston TX. We have been trying to buy a 2026 Hyundai Hybrid Palisade for months. We have test driven several in the past, but never walked away with one for various reasons. We finally came to a dealership that had exactly the one we wanted. This was stupid of us, I understand, but we elected to purchase the car without actually test driving this one. We signed the paperwork and got a brand new pallisade Calligraphy trim. However, as soon as we drove out of the lot, the car had major issues seemingly navigating the gear shifting or between the electrical/gas transmission resulting in lurching with breaking and accelerating. It actually felt pretty unsafe to drive as the braking and accelerating could be quite delayed and severe.

We now had to bring it back to the dealership and its been sitting on the service end running all sorts of diagnostics. We went from being exhilarated at finally buying our car, to immediately heartbroken that it has a problem immediately. The service guys say they couldn't figure out what was going on initially, that they have never seen this before, and that they have to run some kind of patch software from Hyundai. I also have on record the service guy on the phone telling us that this should have been caught during the PDI process prior to sale.

We are now super nervous that we have a brand new car that is starting out with problems right off the lot. I think even if they can identify the issue and fix it, there will always be this uncertainty of whether it will be some lasting problem we are going to be dealing with. We actually are coincidentally dealing with an electrical issue in our older Honda CRV that has taken 4 trips back to the dealership and they still haven't been able to figure out what the problem is.

What action can we take? I am kind of inclined to return the car altogether... We literally had only put like 3 miles on the car driving it around testing it and that peace of mind is completely gone now.

Is this candle safe to burn?

I was gifted two similar candles. They have a bunch of dried flowers and potpourri, along with stones. I am worried that the flowers will catch fire? Has anyone burned something like this before?

Smoked my first picanha for my brother's birthday

Kamado. Salt only dry brine overnight. 250F until about 110 internal, rested and hit about 125 to 128F. Blasted on high heat to render fat cap and sear outside. Sliced thin with the grain (which I read is controversial?). Came out well I think.

What do these little colored lines on the screen represent?

When you short press the button, this is the screen you see. I can't find online what these lines mean. Are they just decoration? I also notice that this becomes a waveform during the beginning of a recording, but then just turns into a solid white dot shortly after. Is there a way to keep the waveform on the whole meeting?

Thanks

Very confusing first play

So I booted up Lucid Blocks for the first time and created a new map. I spawned into a very dark, far stretching landscape full of checkerboard essence blocks in gradually rolling hills. I dig down and find that this all a very thin layer floating above a completely flat dirt ground. This top layer has a bunch of lights on the underside pointed down.

So I'm basically only able to get essence blocks, dirt and the light blocks. I try combining every combo in the menu and all I keep getting is different colored essence blocks. I eventually come across some glowing white rings, and some metallic butterflies that kick my ass. Run in all directions and all I really find are water with nothing really in it. After a half hour of running in various directions, the only thing I really discovered was some kind of mega structure that was just a collection of beams and platforms jutting out, but the blocks here would only drop some mud clumps I couldn't really use to keep climbing up, and there wasn't really anything obvious on it.

I looked up some videos and playthroughs and felt like I was going crazy because the videos all had people spawning into much more traditional Minecraft worlds with trees and stuff to actually harvest, that were completely missing in mine.

Am I missing something, or can anyone give me some hints to nudge me in the right direction?

PS1 Memory cards not being recognized via snac

I have been trying to get some PS1 Memory cards to work on my superstation one without success. Have the ports set to be real (pic 1). The snac ports work with original PS1 controllers just fine

I have already:

- updated the firmware to the most recent on your website

- set the snac memory port option to "real" in the OSD

- tried both ports

- tried multiple games

- it doesn't work with either OEM memory cards or third party brand new ones

Is my lamp "clearing up" after a week of cycling?

Got a cloudy lamp from lava lamp co. I've been doing cycles on and off the past week and I'm trying to convince myself it's working, but it's probably not...

Is this a "cloudy" lava lamp?

I've read a lot about cloudy lava lamps and one guide that says you should just return the lamp if it comes cloudy. This is how mine looked at first use and hasn't really changed a whole lot over a few cycles. It is slightly opaque but I can see everything. How many cycles does it take to say it's not working, and/or should I just return this? Is it even considered cloudy?

Good shop for retro/nostalgic memorabilia

I'm setting up a little retro corner in my house with a CRT TV and consoles. I wanted to get some decorations for it as well. I'm thinking things like lava lamps, posters, figurines, neon lights, even rugs and stuff like that. Anywhere in town that specializes in that kind of niche thing?
