    I replaced my own battery heater

    It was really cold recently and I got the warnings- car may not restart and acceleration and top speed reduced -- also no regen. Tesla remote diagnosed it as failing battery heater and quoted me $705. My car is out of warranty so I bought a used battery heater out of a 2018 model S and...

    Battery heater diagnosis

    It's really cold now. I keep my 2014 p85d in the attached garage (around 60 degrees). Monday morning my 50 mile commute was in 7 degrees F. Car did okay since it was in the garage. It sat outside for the next 10 hours in the temps ranging from 7 to 10 degrees. When I left work the temp was...

    What is going on with the salvage M3 prices?

    I have been stalking the insurance salvage websites and watching some of the model 3 auctions to get an idea of prices. At one point I was seriously considering buying one of these cars with minimal damage, making the repairs and saving a chunk even though it is risky. No warranty whatsoever...

    Cost to own Model 3 AWD vs Subaru Outback

    My 2008 Prius is approaching 300,000 miles and it is using oil like crazy (I have to add a quart between 5k mile oil changes). It's been a great, reliable car but I'm not sure how much longer I can keep it going. We live in rural Missouri and have a long steep gravel driveway that requires AWD...
