Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, Relationship Advice, and Parking Etiquette

Just poking the bear.

 

I wouldn't even think about owning an EV unless I could charge at home 95% of the time.

 

When I was in Hong Kong last November they told me of a cluster that had happened the prior holiday. Guess there are very few Tesla charging stations and some had a two-day wait. Oof. No way that’s Elon’s fault. That’s local government bureaucracy

Even charging at home, I make drives in a single day that just don't make sense with the limited range and long charges. Driving 600-800 miles a day takes long enough when I can fill the tank in 5 minutes. I don't want the hassle of the charge times on the road.

 

I know multiple people that only drive local and refuse to consider an EV simply because of range anxiety. One of them even has two other cars and still rents a car if they drive long distance. Their excuses are epic. I just don’t understand everyone’s love of gas stations.

 

If I lived in a city and never left it's boundaries, I would be ok with an EV on range. Living out in the country where everything is an hour or more away, EVs just don't make sense. Certainly not for the cost.

 

Mine too. She always ask why I wait for a minute or two when she rides with me, I always explain it, but nothing changes. I’m not too OCD about hers right now until I buy her a yota.

 

With the advancements of synthetic oil and how well it all flows, as long as it's not getting flogged right off the bat I think we are all being overly cautious. I can't help it though. I just feel a little better if it gets half a minute to get the fluids pumping.

 

True! With how expensive vehicles are these days I just do some of these little things so they last as long as possible.

 

Does a white claw sale meet those requirements?

 

Agree, that's what the Tundra is for.

 

That is wild, lol

 

You just want an EV so you can be your own mechanic!

Another good Blackstone tool is something to shim the system level. I keep a set of cheap cork drink coasters in my kit. @GODZILLA

 

I have a buddy with a Nissan Leaf. He also has a Honda Passport. For around town and local runs they use the Leaf. If they go any further than 50 miles, they use the Passport.

 

Dude, that's a great real world tip. Didn't even think about something like that.

 

Ha. Yeah, northern Wisconsin. I would bet some mornings are absolute zero, maybe even colder.

 

Fixed that.

 

I live in your neck of the woods and I thought we had it cold!

 

With the 0w-20 oil, it flows quickly. I wait maybe 5 seconds on a normal day. If I haven’t run the truck in a week, or its below freezing I might wait 10-20 seconds. Basically the time for the stereo to boot and get rid of the legal screen.

Got the new tires mounted up last night, noticed my trans check plug was wet. I usually won't bother buying new crush washers when I do a drain and fill, until now..
