Rougher than napkin math but my rule of thumb has always been, for every 10 degrees down, you lose 1psi. So if your garage is 60 and it’s 20 outside, you’ll lose 4psi. Not a huge deal if your tires are at 30. If you’re at 20, though, that’s a 20% drop. Especially if you drive a BMW.

A set of Nokian snows at 20psi will turn a FWD minivan from a sled into a tank.

You want a van, not a car. Buy a van.

I grew up on a flower farm- my recommendation is getting an econoline conversion van, stripping the seats and possibly carpet- conversion vans have AC ducts all the way into the cargo area which is helpful for flowers. 

The Flex has that horrible V6 with the internal water pump that’s an 11 hour job to replace and if not caught in time can milkshake the oil and take out the engine. Hard pass unless there are receipts for one done recently.

“implement huge tariffs on cars imported from Mexico, Canada and China”

VICIOUS LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL

You never want to go full Jaguar!

Just read the mole story because of this comment. I have no idea how any sane person could stand two hours with those lunatics, let alone 2 years and counting.

I can see Canada from my house.

Attention all automotive bloggers:

PRETTY PLEASE stop including Florida dealer pricing when you do nationwide price comparisons. Florida apparently has no legal limitation on what dealers can charge for DOC fees, so the dealers there almost universally add $2000 or more in DOC fees to the advertised price so they can…

Donate money too. Mother Jones, Pro Publica, NPR, Wikipedia, etc. are all invaluable resources that only exist because of people supporting them. 

The H1B visa thing should tell you exactly what Trump is going to do here. He doesn’t GAF about his base. What did he do when they blew up about the visas? Did he pander to them and stand up to Musk? No, he flooded the zone with bullshit about Greenland and the Panama Canal.

In terms of raw depreciation in dollars, a new Mirage for $12k has to have the lowest potential depreciation of any car on the market. Even with 100k on the clock 10 years from now, there will be a floor for a running car of at least a few grand. You basically can’t ever lose more than $10k by owning one of these.

The automakers equivalent of “I totally DO have a girlfriend, she’s in Canada”

And when Florida is fully underwater, we can send everyone to Greenland. Like our own little Australia for meth heads. 

Well that and these pooling agreements, and things like carbon credits are/were a big scam anyway. So company A pays company B money so that company A can pollute like they already are, but it’s not like company B was like you know we got all the coal we were gonna burn but you paid us money so we won’t burn it, like…

Profit is completely irrelevant to Tesla. As are any other metrics like sales, meeting it’s state goals, etc. It’s stock price is proof of that.

Have you ever seen a briefcase full of cash?  That’s likely part of the reason.
