They will dozens of these! Polestar (or Volvo) makes no sense, can they just go away now?

Easy NP, not that I want it, but I also can’t believe a dealer is selling this for $2,500.

Yep, that have mostly done that, see frame replacements on trucks way older than both my children. I would bet a new engine in a truck is a $15k or so cost. The whole new engine, plus all the hours to install is not a cheap endeavor.

No, not really. But it does make for a fun mental image.

But the weird thing is that the Hybrid powertrain doesn’t have the same issue (that I know of) and that is essentially the same engine, built elsewhere. Maybe the bearing was contributing to the issue, but not the root cause or the debris issues was directly messing with those bearings or something. A lot of options,…

It may well be, I would bet that even ones outside the window that have engine failure will get a solid look at reason and warranty engine replacement.

Can you have your digital ID on multiple devices? Just wondering what the ability to have multiple people with multiple devices using the same “ID”?

That was nice of him!

When I was in Philly and my then GF, now wife was in Bmore we would alternate going back and forth on the weekends. I took greyhound a few times, but after one time I couldn’t get a ticket due to system issues and I took Amtrak, I never took greyhound again and likely never will. I left after and made it before my bus…

This isn’t really “sketchy” per se, but maybe a little. When I lived in Philly, I was living in Port Richmond the last three months before I moved to Bmore with my wife, who had already moved. I rode my bike to work every day and then after work, I would ride to my ex-college (this is post-graduation) to go to the gym.

Damn, you beat me to the gas prices. I thought the President set all the gas prices in the AM. Just goes through a huge excel sheet typing in prices and then updates all the digital boards in one fell swoop.

Don’t forget gas prices! The President sets all the gas prices around the country every morning.

The Tundra issue/recall was only issued for certain build dates from ‘22 to ‘23 MY. So, anything built after a certain date or before seems to be OK. The Tacoma however, I am not sure on this one. 

Yea, that makes sense.

I don’t know about that. Car sales are still steaming ahead, and I know a lot of people don’t have great credit. I am sure some banks have, but definitely not all of them. There will always be financing out there for even some of the worst credit scores out there.

Yea, that makes sense. I guess the Prius version just drops the rear motor and keep the front the same or similar since I can’t find an AWD Prius Prime, unless I didn’t look hard enough.

Yea, this won’t move leases a ton, but maybe some of the ones that work out to a .9% APR drop to 0% or half a percent, but not much to write home about. EV leases are already so subvented, there isn’t much more they can do, unless they go negative.

You must not be aware of how the majority of people shop for cars then. They go in with a “what can I afford monthly” mindset and leave with a car to match. Sure, $11/month isn’t a big difference, but $133/month? That puts a lot more people into buy mode because their financial sense is not good.

Not exactly sure on the Prime, but I don’t think it is AWD. I know Toyota has AWD Hybrid setups that have an ICE drive on one axle and e-drive on the other (My Highlander is this way). And I think that Toyota uses a sandwich method on other hybrids where the e-motor is between the ICE and trans. But again, not 100%…

Yea, well aware of that and how it works. I still don’t think the loan rates are that much better, but it doesn’t really matter in the end.
