Agree. [the paddles] Unnecessary gimmick for a commuter car.

Receiver? The phone is not broadcasting FM. Why would it be suspected of causing interference? A receiver only receives, then convert that signal into audible frequencies to the human ear.

There’d be a 10 page thread complaining about too many greens and not a single yellow or red.

I’m amazed they don’t avoid collision autonomously… (thinks of collisions involving FSD). Never mind.

But in practice it’s nuanced and against their customers, who don’t want to think too much about driving; the reason they buy and own Toyotas. It’s also against their own brand tagline: we make it easy. It’s certainly easier to make than intelligent and contextually aware software...

The Ion has 900 UTQG IIRC. That suggest to me possibly harder and longer wearing compound, relative to Defender and Scorpion MS. And is probably losing efficiency because of it. Trading grip for longevity. If it’s observed to break loose more readily than the other two tires, that’d just about...

Toyota is still behind on charging performance. Like other laggards, they’re putting out better EVs now but still not serious about it. The paddles are probably to change regen. The Japanese OEMs have done this before, with little traction with consumers, but they keep doing it. They are...

His insurance is GEICO? Oh you are in for a ride. Turn it over to your insurance and let them deal with GEICO. You don't want to deal with them directly. They will try to pull any and all shenanigans at their disposal. Before I got the T, the previous car was rear-ended on the 405 by a kid, at...

Slightly larger. 8.3% difference. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ It's all subjective. We know the R1's suspension is compliant and not harsh. Yet we've seen select few coming here claiming their kidneys are being liquified. Ride quality isn't all on the sidewall size or wheel size. It's...

What? 19" is the planned standard wheel size for the $48k base trim. And the $45k version planned for late 2027 is just one with less range/battery. Compatibility of aftermarket 19" wheels would be down to bolt pattern, offset and brake clearance. That is unless higher trims have larger brakes...

The AS coming on the 21" R2 are Pirelli Scorpion MS—Mud & Snow. And the sizes, 255/60R20 vs 255/55R21, have exactly the same overall diameter. So the visual difference is only down to design of the wheels. Chances are you'll be about due for new tires around the same time you decide to get a...

Gen 1 started with Model Year '22. Gen 2 started with Model Year '25. Gen 2 started shipping in 2024 as Model Year '25 car. Show me a Moroney Sheet for any gen 2 that showed 2024 in paperwork?

Even w/o RTT, just the crossbar installed, the compartment doesn't open far enough for you to get good enough grip and leverage on 80+ lbs of large round mass. You can get it out, but it's a struggle. This is where the harness in the Gear Shop make a difference. It has a nylon strap with a...

RhinoUSA is decent and usually less $ than Factor55. $180 vs $215 for the 30-footer. Question: any reason not to get 20’ instead of the 30’? 30’ seem excessive.

10/10 Tires play majority role. Wheels factor into angular momentum of inertia, and rotational mass. And that isn’t necessarily affected by size, but how the wheel’s mass is distributed within itself. With more mass concentrated closer to axis of rotation, the less impact that mass has on...

A little bit of overemphasis on anecdotal experiences and neglecting the factors that actually created those experiences. Wheel size has little to do with how a car feels in winter conditions. It’s the tires that make contact with the ground. Did the Mach-E have same tires the R2 will have? Was...

Queue the 12V complaints, prediction of doom, fear and loathing, and arguments over 12V size and chemistry (as if that alone is cause of failure).

They're talking about model year... not year of production. Either way... moot speculation.

Do you really need a Mustang? Do you really need 2 cars?

Then you'd be stuck having to buy the same brand/model tire as the spare.
