Agreed. there are three main areas that make the biggest difference in the snow: tires tires tires nothing else really matters if you can’t hook up to a snowy surface.

Probably all of the usual suspects: high flow canuter valve low viscosity blinker fluid undersized horn belt pulley However unlikely: Muffler bearings

yes. scuff, clean, roll it on. (I am not an expert, but I've seen more than a few vehicles with bedliner as an exterior coating, including plastic parts like fender flares, etc)

Short answer: no. Longer answer: A couple gallons of bedliner might weigh 100lbs, tops (and I just say that much because I noticed that the link above for "Monstaliner" some of the colors contain lead. and lead paint is HEAVY.)

That's cool! I didn't use the Tesla charger... I have an ID.4 and don't yet have access to the Tesla network. I generally use Electrify America but there are plenty of options over that 50-ish mile stretch of I-5.

I made the drive from LA to SF and back 10 days ago. The charging infrastructure (both Tesla and other brands) in the 3 exits in the area (Lost Hills, Kettleman City, Coalinga) is already pretty massive. Non-Tesla chargers were full with people waiting at every stop. This is currently the...

Those guys are fargin iceholes.

That's not how deductions work. Deductions are from your income, before taxes are paid. For the average taxpayer (15% effective tax rate) a $7350 deduction is worth about $1100 in your pocket. If you make less than about $40,000 per year, your effective tax rate is around 4%, so those...

I haven't noticed any, but I'm only 1 year into EV ownership and other than a recall, haven't needed any service.

My last 2 houses I took care of about 1.5 acres, with longer driveways that needed snow removal. Loved my diesel Deere! (now I live in a condo and I don't miss taking care of the yard, but I do miss plowing snow) Now that I'm in LA my chances of caring for that much land are probably lower...

I already have a Chargepoint Flex for my ID.4. But it is a J1772 plug so i will probably install another one for the Slate. Highly recommend the Flex. It's hardwired and can support as high as 80A circuits (when correctly wired and breakered) I just removed the unused dryer outlet in my...

I'll add to this that it can be very easy to drive an EV in a way that will wear tires faster than you are used to. I also have an ID.4, and the lower center of gravity (relative to an ICE car) will have you cornering much faster than you will realize. The ID.4 can cruise a tight interstate...

The radio in my 1987 Toyota Van had AM-STEREO capability, which amazed my Travelling Waves professor to no end. I don't recall ever seeing another receiver with that capability. (That van also had an ice-maker which I think is my very favorite stock vehicle feature of all time.)

GM (and I imagine other makers)had front windshield dipole antennas from at least the early 60's through the late 70's. Very thin wires that ran up the middle of the windshield and then along the top. I feel like they were molded *in* the glass. then the antenna coax made the connection at...

Maybe Safelite will offer an old-school windshield antenna upgrade :rock:

Yep, Jetta just crossed 180k miles and gets 350 miles/week so fingers crossed she makes it to delivery. :)
