A Tesla has (even more) production delays?

Clear air turbulence can be crazy, I was on a plane years ago (with seatbelt on, thankfully) when this happened. The drinks cart hit the ceiling, as did several unbelted people. I always use a seatbelt when seated now.

The reason why is that european tow ratings typically use a mere 5% tongue weight (vs. US 10%-15%) which you can get away with if you strictly keep towing speeds down to ~60 mph or less. Above that, the faster you go the more critical 10% or more tongue weight is, to avoid lethal trailer tail wag that can flip the…

I have an ‘18, bought new. The LTG is a popular corporate motor in lots of volume cars, no worries there. The trans is an Aisin shared with Camrys and many other cars.

But people have had issues and delays getting the fabric sunroof sunshades replaced, and some people have had to wait several weeks for replacement…

I too bought a ‘18 TourX new, and I too am considering a diesel Cayenne for the tow capacity, comfort, cargo space and mileage. Let us know how yours does.

Me too. And while that’s always a concern, I don’t think the level of under-reporting of car break ins here has changed significantly from last year to this year. The people who won’t bother to report it, didn’t then and won’t now and the people who do take the time to report stuff will still do it.

Yup, exactly. Sure seems like the SFPD waited to do something about it until after the Republicans engineered Boudin’s recall.

Read the article.

Now that they got rid of Chesa Boudin, the SFPD is more interested in arresting criminals. Auto break ins have dropped by 50% in the last 3 months.

You’d be wrong. SF car break ins have dropped by 50% in the last 3 months.

San Francisco car break ins have dropped by 50% over the last three months.

After a decade of cars and trucks crashing into that thing, it was redesigned and rebuilt last year. Now only a few vehicles crash into the new ones, apparently.

Right? Like, was that car his, or what?

Exactly.

Wow, that guy is a two time convcted sex offender (1999 and 2016), had no license and no insurance and was driving high too. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, I guess?

California is losing low earners and gaining highly educated high earners because of a lot of reasons, like the tech industry and the sky high cost of housing in the tech heavy areas of California. And the cost of housing in those areas - like san francisco and oakland - is very expensive in no small part *because* of…

Here’s the link to GM’s LIMITED new car warranty/warranties.

Ex dealer service manager here. Companies can and do put conditions on their new vehicle warranties, every damn day. Specifically, conditions of owner behavior to keep the warranty valid, such as: damage from owner misuse/abuse or lack of proper maintenance will not be covered by warranty.

It would be interesting to know if that particular TU104-100C plane (built 1999) had the backwards compatible upgraded PS-90A2 engines, since they are a newer revision developed with Pratt & Whitney and containing a bunch of Western parts from France, Germany, Sweden and the USA, according to Wikipedia. FWIW.

People really need to stop buying hyundais and kias.
