    First Tesla purchase turning sour.

    The data on a 11 year old F150 is irrelevant to a modern one with a major tech change with eco boost, electronics and touch screens etc. The pool of 2024 20 year old vehicles is going to be substantially smaller than 2013s hitting 20 years.

    First Tesla purchase turning sour.

    There is no long term data as data set is too small on EV to make anything meaningful to prove or disprove itself. It is rapidly evolving in tech and using data from old EV to a brand is similar to comparing a modern F150 to one 11 years ago. The reality is average car life is 12 years/200000...

    First Tesla purchase turning sour.

    I do hope it works for you. A friend has one of these old Tesla as “beater” EV and works with limited/shortened range (less then original) in a very good place to own one Quebec. He is DIY and seems to be able to repair it.

    Irrelevant to topic of a person taking a chance on 11 year old car at auction. Buyer knows duds exist in all vehicles . You play the odds buying this stuff.

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    A friend with lift/side business does my oil for typically a $40ish charge + parts between his $50/hr labor rate and he calls disposal/cleanup. The parts run about $70 for oil change kit (filter/new plastic/oil) from FCP auto. Dealer charges $120 for similar thing. $100 is about right for...

    Magazine's prediction on prices from 30 years ago appear to be off (tongue in cheek)

    So people(complainers on inflation) were aware prices rise just choose not to be responsible and save a bit for future.

    Wife thinks next vehicle should be an EV.

    If she is up for barely used they are great bargains and if she does not like easy to dump off without much loss. My wife wants one too and we are looking to share one. We keep her ICE compact SUV.

    Is my sliding door handle cable reversible?

    Suggest looking for new one instead of breaking a working door. Brief google has Toyota door cables/parts coming back under $30. I believe in looking up parts you’ll find if unique part numbers for right/left doors.

    How far would you drive on a gamble for a used car?

    Two hours max each way with a decent lunch involved. Basically long day trip where hopefully only half day burned up.

    Wow, Tesla laying off more than 10% of its world wide workforce, two Top Executives leaving

    [ People can afford to work easier schedules with proper education and control of their credit usage. My neighbors are both teachers who never work summers, work hard enough during school year and travel somewhere cheaply in their pop up camper in summer including Mexico. I work 36hrs as...
