I don't think you can get a better car for that price. If it was in my budget that one would be a strong contender to join my driveway! But I still wish it had stalks for turn signal and shifter :D

Yeah, that is kinda silly. Here in CA you can get personal plates for your pickup truck if it's only for personal use, but you have to have a camper shell on it. To get personal plates you have to make an appointment and someone checks that you have the camper shell on there. But you can haul...

I don't think that would be reasonable. Hypothetical future costs are a completely different topic.

The fuel pump may have been offline and it might be the default strategy to dispense a certain dollar amount of fuel so that people wouldn't be stranded and business can continue as usual while limiting loss if someones card gets declined later when the pump goes online again and the...

No. These things are done with little to no margin or even at a loss sometimes to get additional business and keep customers coming back.

Likely a combination of all those factors.

I would suggest getting a 2nd key/fob immediately. Just my personal opinion but not only is that key to have around in case you lose one (no pun intended) but it'll serve as a useful diagnostic device to determine if the existing fob is bad or the issue is something else.

I don't think Delphi fuel pumps are any better than any other random aftermarket.

I think skin color is irrelevant here, but it is suspicious behavior. I don't think I'd be going door to door at 5AM looking for my dog (if I had one)...

I don't know what "potent fuel" is but if it was my vehicle it would have 5w-30 in there, not 0w-20.

I don't have any fishing line but I'll try floss, thank you. Will soften up the glue with wd40 first, I have had great luck with that on bumper stickers and decals and stuff.

I think here in the SF Bay Area it’s actually higher than that. For a dealer $195 sounds cheap!

Bummer. Any better technique than to do it after letting the truck sit overnight so fluid is room temp, measure what comes out, and put in the same amount?

It's complicated. The cells used in an EV are probably of higher quality with better quality control than those found in my Ryobi drill batteries. In addition, they have an advanced BMS and thermal management system. But you are right, these things can get fast charged and/or output tons of...

If that was my vehicle, I too would do a drain and fill every 30K with that updated fluid. Just seems like a good idea if you plan to keep it beyond the warranty. Does it have a dipstick or you have to do the fill and dribble?
