Why would you need to have the alignment checked every year? I only have it checked if something indicated it was off or when I do suspension work.

My thought exactly.

They could very well be (quick search didn’t turn up a good breakdown), but it’s almost a moot point as Tesla has it’s time and research tied up in the wrong places for that now. Not to mention it’s a precarious position. VW and Audi gives them stability and Tesla doesn’t have that.  But yes, the SUV and sedan in…

Porsche is doing it, why can’t Tesla?

I’m curious to see if that might not be the best thing for it. I think a lot of it’s buzz (and stock price) comes from it’s non-normalcy, look at how many outlets seemed disappointed by the Model Y, they didn’t want a slightly inflated Model 3 with a lift kit, they wanted weirder I guess? Their buyers threw a fit when…

If a Rubicon with the usual addons is 62k they will have a real problem. You can get a 1/2 ton luxo truck for that money.

While you are absolutely correct, it is also true that by changing the withholdings rates they also tricked people into thinking the tax cut was the cause of that increase when in fact the majority was due to the change in withholdings. It’s like saying you’ll give me $5/week while not telling me it’s coming from my…

I’d still say get two vehicles, just not his two. Lease/buy something you want to DD, and then go find a cheap used truck. If all you’re doing is running to the home store and to get the latest CL purchase then it should be easy to find an old 2-door long bed bare-bones pickup for under 5K, especially in LA where cars…

While I would normally agree, these are starting to get old, and he doesn’t seem like the type that wants to be working on his house and his car.

Not only are most not that picky, but when I bought my last new car any dealer that was either getting it from someone else, or ordering it had little room to negotiate. So the best deal was for a vehicle sitting on the lot that met most of my criteria (an extra option here, a missing one there, different color). For…

Exactly, I’ll agree that my first year Magnum RT has a cheap interior and some other first year flaws, but god is it a great GT car, all the space of a wagon, smooth ride, good handling for as heavy as it is and the HEMI easily flattens any hill or opens up most passing zones.  I’m still sad there’s no modern…

Same reason the Republicans can’t/won’t cut Trump out, both are still loved by a not-small percentage of the world such that the trouble doesn’t outweigh the benefits right now.

I’d worry about the service side of things though. What’s a Tesla cost to repair when it’s not under warranty? Plus I’m guessing it’s not easy to do anything to them yourself, can you get shocks and struts from the local parts store?

Most trucks don’t do much more than any other car on a normal basis, sure the option exists for them to do more but an EV truck does still make a lot of sense for most truck owners and probably even a lot of companies.

Not the biggest fan of Chevy but I like this, after all, has there ever been a bad inline-6?

They’re not beholden exclusively to their shareholders though. Any company has to balance the demand of their shareholder’s against the demand of their customers and those of their workforce. No one of these can exist without the other two.

Even though they were oversquare most of the truck ones didn’t act like it. I had the 3.9 V6 in a Dakota (318 bore and stroke minus 2 cylinders), and while it had a redline like a diesel engine (4500 IRC) it made torque like one too, which was great in a pickup.
