Motorcycles with obnoxious loud motorcycle exhaust and their need to rev when lane splitting in bumper to bumper traffic as a means to tell cars to move the F out of their way because their fat ass on that harley can’t squeeze by.

I am doing exactly what you described but at some point, I do hope the tech catches up as this whole “use and dump” method isn’t necessarily ideal.

I got the same deal as you, but for a Odyssey. Still have it, but we started talking about upgrading to something else. But with interest rate this high, my nose and my wallet are bleeding.

There is “The General” insurance, which is now under American Family Insurance.  They are not a top tier insurance provider.  They advertise cheap rate and “we insure anyone, even if you have a DUI...”.  However, when even the slightest thing happen, they will jack you.  They will increase your rate, or in this case,…

second.

YOLO, right?

This is why I will never use Turo and Airbnb.

Yeah.  If Charger Fan can meet some of these 7-9 figure a year folks, it would open his eyes more.  Hard for us mere mortals to imagine, but it really is a have vs. have not world.  As in the have been there, done that, and the have not seen it, experienced it, don’t even understand it.

Exactly. Once you’ve seen how that top 1% do things, you see things differently. And the old money vs. new money too.

Yeah, you have some. But here in so cal, OC, LA, and more and more SD, people who buy these things brand new, have hard money. A lot of them have $1000+ leases and they don’t mind it one bit. You also have folks I mentioned that can write it off as part of their business expense. These are the same folks who fly…

I know folks who can buy this, in cash, and wouldn’t even bat an eye.  If you can afford the finer things in life, why the f not?

my bad...big finger and little screen.

“class, today we are going to learn about food in mouth disease by using Mr. Musk and Tesla as case studies...”

iPhone user since original here. Although I have never had to replace a battery, I have heard of your situation happen to others I know. However, I would think that phone is different because there is a variety of factors (signal strength, data usage(background/actual), indoor/outdoor, etc) that could negatively…

1st - Currently, only way to assure the next buyer is a better/overkill battery warranty.  Automaker and dealers will balk, but until tech/software catches up, this is the only way.  The 2nd buyer should get a 5 yr/100K warranty promising X% from original.  

The RX PHEV is an interesting one.  I am trying to convince my wife the new GX PHEV should be her next car, but she is nowhere near ready to leave her beloved Odyssey. 

When you say interesting car, you got me curious...what did you get?

I got a Mach E RWD with the extended range battery. Been avg about 4 kWh per mile, 100% charge gives me 358 miles.

And outside take - he has to push the return to office narrative because he wants to sell more cars. If people work from home, the need to replace gas car will decrease because it doesn’t matter if you only get 15 mpg if you only use your car for quick around town errands and on weekends.
