Wow that makes it even more scary. You essentially babied that battery for 3 years.. and it still failed!! FWIW I use DC fast chargers about 4-10x per month.. charge to 90% most days.. and now at 65K miles with the exact same car with a 100% range estimate of 219 miles. That said Im paying...

Thats awesome man! One last question.. how often did you use to Supercharge the original battery pack? Also did you charge daily to 80%? 90%? Just trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to help avoid this situation. Although if it does happen.. I certainly hope it does before...

I have the exact same car. Purchased exactly 3 years ago down to the date. Im about 63,000 miles. What issues did you notice that made you take the car into service?

I'm honestly not surprised that majority of warranty claims you've made is almost exclusively German and/or diesel vehicles. Every vehicle you listed with major issues has a pretty poor record for reliability. Yes Dodge is also on the list. And I would bet actual money that you will never...

You pretend as if you are the only person who has ever owned a vehicle. While extended warranties may have worked for you or your fleet.. common sense says that the typical extended warranty will not cover enough repairs to support the purchase. This is exactly why companies love selling...

Say it louder for the people that didn't hear it the first time. Companies in general sell products & services solely because it generates a profit. If they can't make money selling it.. why bother offering it? The idea that extended warranty is guaranteed to pay for itself is a terrible...

Bought my 2021 almost exactly 3 years ago and now at the 62K mark im getting a little concerned. In December it started creaking noise really bad when steering left or right pulling out of a driveway or parking space.. was pretty sure that the car needed control arms replaced. Also 2 weeks...

Oh man Im jealous! Those 275/40's look so beefy on the stock 20" Induction wheels. I drive a lot.. about 2,000 miles per month. Ive already put about 7,000 miles on the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S4's I got in December. That said when I've worn these down.. in what should be about 2 years...

This is what makes the Cybertruck even more disappointing. For over a decade now.. we've been told that Tesla has this HUGE headstart over the rest of the industry. Seriously like "Tesla is 10 years ahead of everybody else". That's both legacy automotive and newer EV startups. Meanwhile...

I dont hate it. Its just disappointing on so many levels. Price, range, charging, off-road capability. Hell, it still doesn't even have AutoPilot. Forget about things like locking hubs. I cant help but feel like Tesla knew this was going to be a big disappointment.. which is exactly why...

Linking.. in case anybody else wants to see this video.

Because the EPA results are still wildly inaccurate for highway speeds and unpredictable depending on brand and/or model. Why do people ignore factual real-world results? https://insideevs.com/reviews/443791/ev-range-test-results/

I've said this for years now and 100% agree range only matters on long trips. EPA needs a 70mph highway range test. Nobody cares that your EV can do 300 "city" miles.. as nobody is driving 300 miles in a city. Furthermore, cities are already packed with DC fast chargers.. there are 100's...

I tried to warn people of this over the last 1-2 years as I watched when Tesla raised the price of a Model Y by $17,000 in a single year. We all seem to agree that random dealer markups suck.. but you know what sucks even worse = Manufacturer markups via direct sales. Because if a single...

So figured I'd update this thread as I got incredibly lucky. I often check Facebook Marketplace for used deals and saw a used tire shop advertising a new set of the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 in the "perfect" 265/40R20 size for $800. These tires regularly sell for $1,800. Im like this cant...
