Gorilla sells sets of 20 matching lug nuts that need a matching socket to remove. I use those on vehicles. Anything can be stolen, but having to defeat 5 on each wheel is significantly less pleasant/safe/cheap for thieves than dealing with 1 on each wheel. And a twofer benefit if the vehicle...

Same. Most days I wake up with absolutely nothing that I have to do that day. And by 5PM I'm usually almost half done. ;)

The vehicles with high theft rates have huge markets for what was stolen. Gonna be a long time if ever before used/stolen factory slate wheels have people lining up.

Assuming an app would use bluetooth, a phone with no sim only turned on for that and similar purposes isn't a bad compromise.

Chevy, Ford and Ram can't even build single cab full size EVs because a truck size/range battery is too big to fit below a full sized PU single cab.

Would be nice if the slide show didn't stop at 5 of 13. Must be a site thing. I checked 2 other slideshows unrelated to Slate and all of them stopped with the 5th slide. Update: Turns out the issue is probably ad related. When I open that page in a browser with no ad blockers, tapping next on...

We need videos! Take a page from Cadillac.

I'm part Italian.

All of the many cameras on my Tesla record constantly. Also the car is not a "most" regarding when rear camera can be viewed. I can turn on rear camera at any time. My most common use is when pulling forward into a garage with a door to make sure I am far enough forward that the trunk swing...

Haven't spent much time with humans?

I thought it was "Found on Road Dead". I've owned several of each from the big 3 and at least one of all the Japanese including their sub brands like Acura and Infinity and trucks from all of the big 3. All new. Tesla the best with no issues but less than 3 years of ownership. The 5 Fords have...

Rear seats and doors are a non-starter for me.

What's funny (why later) is it was not optional to have the alternative fuel plate. When I bought my Tesla in 2023, Tesla told me that was the only plate available but I could go to DMV to get another type. When the plate arrived and I went to DMV to replace with a veteran plate, they wouldn't...

Since at least one part will probably wear out 10 times as often of at least one other part, I recommend buying 10.

Since it costs more to use NVM, I am guessing some models don't use it.
