Are you young enough that getting in and out of a vehicle is a non issue?

Yes-they are!

There are many car makers in this space (EV) in China. And their domestics brands have a good reputation for the most part.

As it has been to me as well. There are two types of people-those who have lived in California-and enjoyed it's benefits, good wages, massive property appreciation, and the fantastic weather. And those that are jealous. And because of the later these threads are always locked at some point.

I only call it the way I see it. There isn't any other intent of that post-IMHO. BTW-you can block those whose comments you don't wish to see anymore on this fourm.

Are you talking about this forum? EV's are the perfect example of this on here. NOTE-I'm not responding to any comments on the statement I just made.

Right. Somebody gets online and creates a post lacking lots of detail. OK. I don't get it. Another KUMBAYA "bash dealer threads"? I'm sorry-unless I see something like "the dealership held a long object over her threatening her with bodily injury for not signing"-signing is still on her.

Most of us ( sounds like probably you too) wont be around when the younger generation realizes EVs can be quite useful. You probably remember the 70' s when gas was in short supply. And there were spot shortages very recently as well. You probably dont like Hybrids as well?

This is great. So she has money-spent it on a vehicle, more than you would spend. And you come on here and don't even have all the information. Man - us retirees on here have a lot of time on our hands.

If she got fleeced it's nobody's fault but here own. Did you see the signed papers? Are there warranties/protection plans for the excess?

No-I just don't drink the Kool-Aid.......

The Tundra has engine problems-acknowledged by Toyota. As I have stated before-we have wide open spaces in "The West". Two hours or more from the nearest town/services. Cellphone signals non existent (unless your have SAT). Your are driving along on one of these roads-and the motor blows in your...

Because underneath your tree in your backyard has lower overhead than a dealer.

Have you taken any business classes?

I hope you know the answer to your own question. Oil changes have traditionally been to push other work on to a customer-and to create good will. But that's changing. Just like free code reading. Most independents/dealers use to do it for free. But with additional overhead it's now a...

All I know is just because something can be taken apart in ten minutes does not mean you will not pay a full hour of labor. Which is probably running between $200.00 and $250.00 an hour on average-nationally at dealers.

Me and my wife? I can tell you we went in to Volvo ownership knowing full well what it would cost. We didn't want a Toyota with a luxury badge. Btw- you didn't answer my question.

This is from somebody who is driving a luxury vehicle..... What's the per hour labor at the Lexus dealer? I can tell you it's $200.00 at the Volvo dealer.

You are going to be billed minimum of 1 hour labor for any thing. I hour of labor at $225.00/hour plus the can of spray. Not saying it's not expensive-but trying to show the reason(s).

The transmission flush is market rate. And that paperwork doesn't look like a dealer estimate to me. Those on here have to realize dealer rates in most major cities are upwards of $250.00/hour.
