    How was his insurance so high for a Camry?

    I got mad because my insurance went up $20 a month (to $140 total), but it seems I am paying very little compared to everyone else I talk to. Granted, our LX is 16 years old.

    I will say, I applaud the City of Aurora, CO

    They have been impounding the vehicles with the following:
    Expired plates
    No license
    No insurance


    Their tow yards are racking up

    I'll throw a wrench in here! :D

    $211/mo for insurance on the Model Y and Tundra.
    $13/mo to charge the Y at home.

    I keep seeing that sales numbers aren't great for the CT; can't tell if it's just haters or reality

    the Tesla lot in League City TX has about 30 CT's.

    and they have been there for some time.

    My buddy here in Tennessee drove for two years on the old style license plate. It’s white and gray. New one is solid navy blue. He never got stopped once

    I saw so many without plates. Crazy. I had a sofa dropped off Tuesday. Two man crew. A retired LEO and an off dury Corporal with Alamosa PD:thumbsup:. Making extra money.

    Makes sense the panels are glued vs welded as there would be weld evidence. This makes me wonder if this design will just continuously shed panels in non-mild climates.

    My daughter just cracked exact wheel on her model Y performance. $1k at her local Tesla maintenance facility, $800 at discount tire. Ebay'd a refurbished one for $580. They have some Chinese variations for around $300 but didn't want to go there.

    This is what happens when you run tire wheel assembly that looks like a CD with a rubber band around it.

    That addresses a bunch of convenience issues that matter to city dwellers. It ignores the degraded battery performance and the chance of being stuck on the side of the road in excess of 24 hours that is an actual possibility for rural areas. His fanboy confirmation bias is showing.

    I'm not saying an Tesla is a bad winter vehicle, but trying to spin it like it doesn't have some things you really need to consider is just silly. He's either being intentionally disingenuous or he's uninformed. Either way I would not follow his postings for "real" information.
