extension cord?
With more and more of the latest generation buying not homes, and thus not having a garage, how exactly are people expected to recharge their Teslas? I myself would be interested if they become anything other than a luxury car but I have no way to charge it. Do i just move close to a Sheetz?
Not a good solution for people who live in apartments. Cities and property managers won't be happy to have extension cords for people to trip on in sidewalks and parking lots. Also finding an exterior outlet would be hard and using a interior outlet is just asking for rodents and insects, plus it wouldnt be a solution in the winter.
If you can talk the apartment complex into it, Tesla will give them chargers and pay to have them installed as long as the apartment complex pays for the electricity. Same thing is true for businesses, stores, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants.
The last exit in Ohio before hitting MI off of I-75 has a Meijer nearby that has a bank of Tesla chargers in the parking lot. I was wondering what the hell those were doing in that area. Lots of farmland and pickup trucks...not so many Teslas.
Jeep Cherokee served my family of four quite well as a medium-sized SUV. Smooth ride, enough cargo space, good in winter, affordable. Got mine used. Only had to get rid of it because the family got bigger and you can't fit three car seats in it.
Teslas are the safest cars on the road.
In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 2.87 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot, we registered one accident for every 1.76 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 436,000 miles

THIS IS AMERICA!
But really; buying a car, tried and true, buy what you feel comfortable in based off of your test drive and research.
You'll get a lot of people who say things like, ____ makes a shit car, etc. In reality, the quality of your vehicle is going to be largely rooted in how you maintain it.
While acknowledging the accomplishments, I really don't like the look of the interiors.
Moreover, if I get a SUV, it has to be one fully capable off-road.
Where does the Model X stack up against the Land Rovers and Jeeps?
I specifically ask about the sedan because I have driven or owned just about all the German/Swedish offerings out there, as well as the Japanese luxury sedans.
I really don't know about off road.
Test drive the Tesla Model S Performance, I guarantee it'll be the most fun you ever had driving a car.
So, not good
All warning lights went on and I lost ability to accelerate. Car was towed and started running again at the shop.
Dude told me he thought the issue was 1. Throttle body and 2. Coolant control valve, but that basically giving him 800 bucks would just be a bandaid and the engine was just going to cause the issue to happen again. Said I may get 10000 miles on it but who knows.
146000 miles. Expected to get another 50.
Car can't be trusted, did it again later that day. I drive for a living. My engineer friend was skeptical about his assessment. Didn't see why just replacing the parts wouldn't fix it and he builds cars.
The hell do I do here? I could buy another for another 7k and then try fixing Tbis one bit by bit til it is sellable.. I could try to do an engine swap.. I could get a second opinion tomorrow.. I could rent a car for a week and fix this and assume it's good to go.. I coild do something I haven't even thought of yet?
I know this isn't the most complex problem but there's a lot going on right now and I only know cars so we'll and I Dont have a lot of time to figure something out. Crowdsourcing seems like a good idea
Its a prius but I got lucky and found a buyer willing to give 3k. As isWhat kind of car it is would be a good starting point? I've had cars dashes light up like a Xmas tree and it's a $50 part that take 30 minutes to swap out.
