Thanks, I’ll give them a call.

So interestingly yesterday I started noticing an intermittent clunking noise from what sounded like the front of my car. It always comes from when one of the front wheels goes over a road imperfection, but it doesn’t always happen. The weird thing to me is sometimes the clunk happens when the...

I am not sure if this is stating the obvious, but when you lease a car you can buy the lease out at any time. If you aren't sure which one you want to do, leasing seems the safer choice. If you change your mind later you can then buy out the lease. If you buy the car you can't change your mind...

I am enjoying the write ups. For me it is interesting to hear different perspectives, even if they aren't always positive or if they don't match my perspective.

On previous cars I've owned I had good experience and was always happy with Pirelli Sottozero witner tires. They aren't really made for extreme weather (feet of snow or ice) but they handle cold weather temperatures very well and are solid, if not exemplary, in snow. In other words I never got...

I just DM'd you, let me know if you can respond and we can coordinate the when/where.

Ok, sounds fine to me. Do you mind if I ask what town in NJ you are located? Trying to think about how long of a drive it would be. I am prety far south (Vineland FWIW). I may be able to come get them this weekend.

When you run them without the TPMS, does it just give you an error message on the screen? Do you know if they would all fit within an Air (with the back seat folded down presumably)? I ask because I live in (southern) NJ and could pick them up...if I could fit them in my car.

Wow, charging for no cable on a lease return...??? SO if I don't give them back the cable I bought for the $650 credit that I used to buy it, they charge me for it as if it is still new? And what would they do if I never bought the cable to begin with? Yikes. Definitely worried how things are...

If I were you i'd just get the adapter for the Tesla charger at home and when you get the Tesla charger just keep it in the car. Since you mentioned $650 I am assuming you are referring to the mobile charger. If comes in a case that fit exactly into that triangle type space on the edge of your...

I really like the Fathom Blue color. I got grey since it was the closest to what i wanted and in stock, but if I was building to order I would definitely go with fathom blue.

Well count me as someone who thought for sure the Rivian was going to win. With the Saphire, Lucid already showed us how more motors can be more important than pure HP when it comes to acceleration. That seems to hold true off the line (and explains why the Rivian took off so much better) but it...

I suspect carmakers are seeing the value of people's data more and more and therefore want to make sure they can monetize that value and not someone else.

MY car has the update available, but I am going to wait until the weekend to futz with it. I don't use android but I do occasionally get the issue where I have to wait to go into drive (but usually only like ~30 seconds or so).
