I’ve had to do shocks and several of the suspension bushings, replace a couple coolant hoses that were starting to leak, but I mean what’s to be expected for a 10 year old car with 160k on the clock? No major issues at all here either! 06 LGT Wagon

The answer to your question is yes, with a caveat. Every EV or PHEV will come with a cord you can plug into a normal socket. It will draw 12-14 amps continuously for generally many many hours even with the short ranges of today’s cars. (Teslas are like 40 hours or something ridiculous) Because most standard breakers…
So here’s what I really want to know. I’ve driven a couple of different i3’s and had the opportunity to use one for a week and am quite a big fan of how it drives. Peppy, I like the one-footed driving approach especially in traffic on the way to work. The torque off the line is quite entertaining, probably not enough…
I posted this on the original dieselgate article, but it bears repeating. You state “VW’s crisis may not be an environmental disaster on that level”. Based on some math, especially including 11 million instead of 1/2 million vehicles worldwide, I would think this would be a fairly measurable effect on the environment.…
This, this is what you (and I) want.
Alright, let’s do some math. 500,000 cars on the road each polluting several times what they are allowed to, for consistency sake let’s say 20 times. That’s as if there were 10,000,000 cars instead of 500,000. Take the difference, 9,500,000 extra “cars” worth of pollution on the road. Our friend Wikipedia tells me…
It’s listed in the insideevs article linked, Class II, rated for 5,000 lbs for $750. Comes with a 1 1/4” standard hitch for bike and ski racks (since you can’t put that kind of stuff on the roof). Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ski rack that attaches to a trailer hitch... I remember hearing at one point Tesla…
Has there been some good updates to all of it? I ran GVoice integration through Sprint for several years but finally gave up on its conveniences because I was sick and tired of MMS never working right. Group messages didn’t show up as group messages, and I’d have to manually string together the bits of the…
I’m in Canton. Not in the market immediately, but there is a very good possibility of picking something up in the next year!
Along these lines, I just moved across the country to SE Michigan. Since I’m so new here and don’t know a ton of people, how can I find a reputable third party mechanic that I know I can trust? Especially because I do all the work on my car myself in the garage, the only thing that’s been done to the car (have had it…
2005-2009 Subaru Legacy GT $6800, got my wagon for about $9k. (Spec B. unlikely at this price, unfortunately) Looks to be a very clean example.
Please don't say FORD in giant chrome letters across the front grille...

Tesla has said they are willing to work with other automakers to have other vehicles supercharger-enabled. This is, of course, all hinged on whether Audi or VAG wants to work with Tesla to help fund the network, which I'd bet they aren't willing to do.
I'm no expert, but I'll do my best to answer what you've got!
That's exactly what I'm thinking! I'm worried about order as soon as I can and getting delivery a week before a wagon version is unveiled. Hopefully they will describe at least some version of their plans when it's finally unveiled so that if you want to wait for another version you can do so!
I completely agree. With the current motion of EVs and their tech, each generation of vehicle is a significant leap, unlike anything the car industry has seen in many years. While it may take 5 or 6 years between full generations, hopefully they get it figured out and can keep the cars on the road fairly current with…
I wonder how all this will work out as the federal incentives run out? We may have a situation where you can buy a car for 27.5k and then a year later cannot buy it for less than the actual 35k it's marketed as? (Of course this doesn't factor in any state incentives or the possibility that the program would be…
It's the world's largest beta test! If you are ok with having a car which may have a significantly higher chance for parts to go bad, but with a manufacturer who willingly changes them out and does their best to make it the smallest inconvenience to the customer, (and can afford the car...) go for it!
I've heard that…
