Warranties. I can’t blame them for charging more for it as the 75 kWh packs will drop to an unacceptable performance before the 70 kWh pack. Assuming they do their software limiting intelligently a 70 will maintain being a 70 longer due to wear leveling / additional tolerances, so there will be less replacements…

I bought one these a few years back. It’s been awesome. I can make a hearty stew that tastes like it’s been on the stove for 4-6 hours in 45 minutes. That said, even while they say it can double as a crock pot, it doesn’t do so well at keeping low temps (it always scorches it). It does however work as an exceptionally…

I’ve not had any issues with AirPlay with my systems or any of my clients and I use it far more than most. I’d start off by uninstalling whatever airplay app you are using (AirServer/Reflector/etc) upgrading any wifi drivers (or if already current, delete any manufacturer provided drivers and use Microsoft’s), and…

To put this into context, that data means optimizing paths through advertising including billboards, signs for businesses and how to best exploit user behavior. At this point, it isn’t strictly automated driving yet (that will come in later), but instead a in-dash navigation system that might “prefer” to send you…

Having been raised on a ranch and having tasted pretty much any breed/condition of meat: a dairy producing BREED such as Holstein is perfectly fine to each, I don’t necessarily prefer it but there’s nothing wrong with it. However, eating an animal that is still producing milk is generally considered a big no-no.

So change it - that’s ideally how it works. But I would encourage you to find a way to do it in a positive way. That said, that may be the antithesis to your stance, deciding you know what’s better and trying to push it. And I’m not saying you don’t know better, but inactivity benefits no one, but do be fair enough to…

Well, you’re certainly welcome to your own views. I’m just not sure how those views are actionable when it ultimately comes down to it. I can only assume you fall on the strict libertarian side of things and want to avoid any governmental interjections into your life, while also not wanting to contribute towards…

It sounds like you kind of object to any form of societal governance. I mean, that’s your right if it is - there are entire political movements around that, but the whole plotting out a course for the greater benefit of society is kind of the point of legislation in general. From deciding that we’ll all drive on a…

So, you’re main argument is that I shouldn’t have an opinion and should not, as a consumer and person who breathes air, want things to get better? Very original.

My stance is a whole let less about altruism and omniscience and a whole lot more about caring about myself - and that includes my air quality, safety and ability to have some fun driving.

Let’s get real here, they already do have better behaving diesel engines and other companies are using AdBlue to clean up emissions. Any decisions being made here are just making sure they actually use the available technology. Having AdBlue/BlueTech wouldn’t have made a TDI any less fun to drive and they aren’t…

I’ve got the Trailhawk with the tow package, so it’s 4,500 lbs. I live up in the mountains in Colorado, so the extra power and towing capacity is appreciated.

Thanks, so in my case it moved it from 190hp on a 4.0L, to a 3.2 with 271 and gained on average 7-8 mpg. That’s an improvement from 47.5 HP per liter of displacement to 84.6 HP per liter of displacement.

I stand corrected, didn’t honestly know until I looked it up for that reply. What is the correct HP for the 4.0L then? I found that number several times.

Ever read the auto industry push back on catalytic convertors and, moving away from leaded gasoline or MPG requirements? They said flatly that it couldn’t be done. History proved them wrong.

That’s the factory specs - link below. Never dyno’ed it, wasn’t even the type of car that I’d care to do so. They were never high performance engines. The leaked a bit of oil, but they ran forever. I sold my ‘91 with 364,000 miles - interior was shot, but the engine ran well even then.

I wouldn’t be so fast to make that assumption. Emissions restrictions have long spurred considerable advances in internal combustion engines. A 5.0 L engine from the 70s has, in many cases, less power output than a drastically cleaner running modern 2.0L engine.

For the same price or less, you can get models that don’t require replacing the outlet or any electrical wiring: https://www.snappower.com/ I’ve had mine for a while (was a backer) and have been pretty happy with them. They just replace the outlet cover, not the actual electrical socket. It has nubs that line up with…

Wow, uh, yeah no. I’ve had good luck with my Kenneth Cole Reaction 4 wheeled carry on - light, affordable and has held up exceptionally well. Probably 200 flights already and wheeling it around dozens of cities and haven’t had any problems. Amazon has a large number of reviews that agree as well. I particularly like…

I travel a lot for work and I’ve been very happy with the Kenneth Cole Reaction. Has very good reviews and I’ve abused mine for 2-3 years so far with not a single sign of wear yet. Price is exceptionally good too.
