    She's actually a really good driver. :fingerscrossed:

    Not to bring up a sore subject but I thought about your car the other day. Saw some chick trying to parallel park a new Range Rover, she curbed both passenger wheels hard

    If you pay attention to other vehicles while in public, the sheer amount of curb rash, brake dust, and tires 15k miles past expiration that you see everywhere is very concerning.

    Went to Toyota to sit in a sequoia

    They had none

    So we sat in a landcruiser.

    it is small. Like very small

    4 cyl. Turbo.

    Base model plus preferred plug. $70k

    they had about 1 billion tundras on the lot

    We have decided on the MX. unless we stumble on something better

    maybe prices will fall a bit as we approach the election

    :notsure:

    If we must continue to ignore nuclear power, why not cover every mall, stadium, and airport parking (on second thought, might be tough landing planes) in solar panels? Instead of wild land.

    bingo.

    1. if we wanted solar, we would have it on every rooftop.
    2. Small nuclear plants are the answer.


    how many folks have solar panels, that DID NOT take advantage of federal/state/local credits?

    I'm looking at you California.


    Exxon Guyana (O&G) alone, could power us for 100's of years. That's plenty of time to set up nuclear.

    Dang this 1.99% promo.

    I was looking at the numbers…we currently put 18k miles per year on the LX. Much of it is driving kids to school and back as well as trips out of state. At 12mpg avg during the school year (lots of idling in the car line), we’re consuming a lot of fuel.

    I could put $18k down on a MYLR and avg $200/mo at 1.99% for 48 mo.

    But I also want to hold out for the refresh.

    Keeping the Tundra and LX, otherwise I’d trade and pay cash for the difference.

    That's a lot of miles on the LX.
    Having a Tesla to rack up miles on would keep your 6UR-FEs in the driveway a lot longer..

    That's if you keep the Tundra and don't upgrade to the HD :boink:

    LX is @ 183k
    Tundra @ 66k

    That’s nothing for a 3UR-F’inExcellent
    I’m still on the fence. :notsure:I bet if I got gears and/or boost, I’d be Tundra for life.

    Yeah, good point..

    I bet your right, that would be fun too :burnrubber:
    To get some payload back I downsized the TT, from a 26' double axle to a 19' single axle. I didn't want to let go of the Tundra

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    some of ya'll know this....but, I'll repeat myself.

    Buying a Tesla is:
    easy
    automated
    informative
    straight forward
    haggle-less


    We did our 1st one at dinner in Texas Roadhouse.

    We did our 2nd one in the garage, after a dynamic bench workout.
    Sitting there, resting in front of the fan...the wife comes out and says...let's order it.

    I did it on my app. everything.

    Took about 20 minutes.

    all that is left to do is schedule delivery and sign papers.




    I hope my Tundra lasts a long time, because I am dreading going into a car dealer.
