Not sure when. Pisses me off how much money brother is saving on fuel. Wife's 2021 Honda gets 38MPG beating on it. Fucking thing will last 30 years too just like my Prelude sitting in the garage. Tesla will be burnt to the ground by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Honda started selling in North America they would be rotten from rust in 5 yrs. As did all the other jap vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 6, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 6, 2022 I can pull my 5 place loaded with 4 people in it over 300 miles before filling. I can fill completely up in about 5 minutes and be back on the road. When an EV can do that I'll consider one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember which state but one I saw was 9-1200 bucks a year to renew the plate. That should cover the taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a deleted diesel is still best for towing electric can make some PAH but the range is garbo I’d say there’s a good reason that the Tesla semi is still a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get around 10 mpg with the trailer loaded with 5 sleds and gear. Its an over the wheel triple axle so while it tracks well it catches a lot of wind. Inline 4 place I can get a couple better. 36 gallon tanks are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there's very little gains on mpg and you void your warranty. I've deleted a few but don't anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
