These 171 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2010 and 2026 — 267 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Automotive: car engineering, electric vehicles, Tesla, engines, hybrids, thermal management, factory tours, car repair, motorcycles, safety gear, car design, racing, Munro teardowns.
