Costco changed its policy about tire installation in Canada last summer, they used to charge for it and I had a quote from them for a set of BFG TA KO2 just before they did. I ended buying them online and had them installed at Costco. Two weeks later, I had a blowout on the highway as I drove over an overpass with a huge pothole because our roads are so poor here in Quebec. Despite not being covered "officially" against road hazards, I managed to have it covered by Michelin. So I ordered the replacement tire at Costco and had it installed under their new policy as they had changed just a few days before. It ended being cheaper than from the discount website and they do offer a hazard warranty (which is very useful, even with brand new LT tires here).

Why does that surprise you? There are no EV tow trucks built yet. Be real. EV don't break down on the road more than Petrol (ICE) vehicles---that is a myth. EVs don't catch on fire more than Petrol ( ICE) vehicles. Facts and real statistics tell the real truth. Sorry, I like Scotty, but he is biased and anti EV here. Why wouldn't he be? He is a petrol mechanic and biased. I live in Southern Ca. Know lots of people with EV, including my neighbors and they love their EVs. I have a friend who has a model S by tesla one of the first one produced and it still has 95 percent of its battery life that he bought in 2012. It is still in perfect condition. He has only had to change the tires, windshield wipers since he has owned it. Even better, he gets to use tesla chargers for free as long as he owns this vehicle taking advantage of that program Tesla offered with the purchase of the early model S. Do a head to head comparison with the actual cost of owning and operating an Ev and compare it to owning a petrol vehicle. Ev cost less to own and operate over time than gas vehicles. Facts speak louder than Scotty's anti Ev opinions.

The main reason China's leading on stuff like this is because they don't care if they poison a million acres for a thousand years to dredge stuff up, cook it down, etc. The reason First World countries buy rare earths from China and coltan from the Congo is largely because we wouldn't want the consequences of mining and processing it cheaply here.

Turns out a little private shop near me is cheaper and better than Discount Tire, who were cheaper than Costco. It's a pain to shop around, but . . . .

The waiting at Costco is just the tip of their problem. I have used them a few times, to mostly good results, but only in the cases where I had no tire issues. The worst problem is when you have a flat or a tire that is beyond repair, is getting another tire that matches what you have. The delivery time on waiting for your correct tire can be extreme to not even getting you back the right tire bc it is now not one they have access to. So now you have spent 600-over $1k and you don't even have a set of match tires. That stinks! Take that into advisement.

If so, it's *practically* a truck, example: Ford Explorer from early 90s to 2010. It is not technically a truck, but practically and legally, it is. For BMW, I have no idea if their early SUVs had actual frames or not. As an aside, IMHO, a 90s/00s Explorer is more of a real truck than the new Mavericks, because FRAME. 👌 So, do any BMW SUVs have frames?

These manufactures searching for rare minerals buy thousands of acres of woods and cut all those trees down and that’s not good at all! In the past I’ve heard that companies had to plant the same amount of trees the cut down on the land after they are done and re level land and clean out the chemical water they pumped/used. But it’s been found the chemical ponds were left and just filled with dirt

Generally speaking if someone has to make laws to make saying something illegal it might just be because they are wrong and deep down they know it. Because if they were right they wouldn’t have to make it illegal they just show that they are right.

That picture that you showed when you were saying, "If you want to speed go to Montana where there are not any people and no speed limits." I reminded me of US-395 in south-eastern Oregon. The road is straight as an arrow and flat, and I was the only driver on it. Problem was the speed limit was still 55. I think Oregon was about the last state to raise the speed limit, like thirty years after the oil embargo. Ironically, the cars that I did see were an antique car club on an outing. Some were Model Ts that probably could not go 55 mph. P.S. Oregon drivers were allowed to finally pump their own gas last year. At least they beat New Jersey, which still does not allow self-service.

The governor of Oregon had to do an EO to get the self-pump in place. Voters turned it down each time it was on the ballot. Long timer Oregonians didn't want it. Still don't. They are starting out with 50-50 on self serve and full service, just like CA did. Eventually, full service will go away. I don't like pumping my own gas, and I will use full service for as long as it is here. It won't make gas cheaper. It will put people out of jobs.

It has nothing to do with the electronics themselves it's because they put the type r cap on the greaser for the steering pinion on regular civics. This makes it too tight so it will l lose oil and make a clunky. I don't know why Scotty has this information wrong but it does have to do with the electronic steering but not as the electronics or software. Edit: I forgot to mention this was completely fixed by October so you don't have to worry about it anymore and just go get your warranty done so they could check the numbers and see if you qualify.

I would think that some of the towing companies would get a huge diesel powered generator on a trailer that they can pull out to charge the EV'S enough to get them to a regular charging station. I have been told that when the battery is dead, they can't be pulled on to a rollback? I am not sure how true that is. I personally think that a good hibird system makes way more sence than a totally electric vehicle. I am interested to see how the Edison motors hibird big trucks do as they seem to be the only company playing around with that concept at this point.

Currently the IAEA - yes the Atomic Energy agency - regulates all Lithium deposits in the USA in the exact same manner as they do Uranium deposits supposedly because Lithium deposits contain trace amounts of uranium.

So did everything else, it's all relative. Keep in mind, 35 years ago cars were not filled with all the computers and safety gear they are now so of course the price is higher. Not to mention everything else on a car cost that much more now. All relative. Hated the old school power steering setup using fluid, it's gone for me and my Honda vehicles, yay. And look at all the gadgets in cars today that were not there 35 years ago.

I just bought a tire for an older car I have that had a flat. The tire shop said they could not fix the tire because it was too old. I only put a couple of thousand miles a year on this car, so I asked for an inexpensive tire. They said they had one for $100.00, but by the time they added mounting, balancing, disposal fee, and taxes it was $165.00

@gailenrique2804 2 ай бұрын

Your state imposes on tax and disposal fees. You can't say no to that. The mounting and balancing should be free, but these tire places will tack on their fees for that but will tell you at the point of sale. They will also recommend you do the wheel alignment, which is also another fee... but you can always say no to that. If the vehicle drifts to the left or right without holding on the wheel for a short period of time it is highly recommended.
