    Whatever this forum told me to do
    We are simpatico.

    I applaud any one that uses the word "confirmation bias" in a conversation.

    it tells me you are awake.

    I bow in your general direction.

    Hard to recognize your own sometimes, but when you do it's very enlightening.

    we are almost saying the same thing...but my spin is EV's aren't that bad. & ICE cars have a LOT of maint.

    and yes, buy what you want.

    Me having both gives me fair perspective. The Telsa mocks me every 5k when I change all the oil.

    If I lived in a more city environment where I don't need to bust 3 foot drifts in the winter and I wasn't an hour from civilization, I'd probably have just a Tesla. As it is, for my area and uses, the ICE truck is the way to go. EV trucks are just too expensive, even with maintenance and fuel costs.

    Seriously though, perfect world with enough money for it, I'd have both. If I win the lottery I'll have a 4 car garage and a modest home on a few acres. My taco, a 2018-2021 Tundra with the 5.7, a Model X or a Model S (have to sit in both and see which is more comfortable and has better ingress/egress), and then the last bay will be motorcycles. It's a practical, fun, and more down to earth collection than Leno's, but it'd make me happy.

    My buddy had the Audi EV. POS. Thing would brick on him all the time. Small battery and continually had to charge, had to pay extra to control temps in his car via app lol. AC went out on him. He went back to Chevy (Silverado) if that tells you anything

    Not quite in line with what I was saying. They'd have to fully abandon ICE and focus all the R&D on EVs. Electrical systems have been around for ages and can be made reliable. Get the software figured out, focus on EVs, watch a brand like Fiat turn their reputation of being POS turn around. Could be fun to see.

    For you Tesla owners, I know you can change the horn sound, but what are the options? Can you use any sound you pull from the internet, or is it a specific list of stuff in a Tesla menu that you choose from?

    Do you guys always set the departure/precondition before leaving for battery heath?
    Or just mainly for the cabin climate?

    I have it set to be warmed up by 630A, daily. Mainly for the climate, but it’ll also be set at the percentage you tell it by its time to depart too.

    There’s a list of default ones (mine is set to old school right now, I believe) but you can use any sound you want as it’ll read it from the USB

    That's cool, I've noticed it just takes a couple hours to charge in the afternoon when my wife gets home and then "trickle" charges overnight. 80% max set

    Got home and only lost 10%, just amazing.
