No this is the best car for him: 2025 Outlander PHEV – Electric SUV | Mitsubishi Motors Canada

Why are you wanting to replace your GTI though? I had one, mine was a 2015. I only had it for like 2 years but during that time it was a great car and got good fuel economy too. Is yours giving you any trouble?

You can get a skewed perception of what people think from the internet. On twitter and reddit everyone is like "I'll never buy a tesla cause of elon" but in real life people don't care. I'm constantly seeing people on the internet freaking out about things that nobody I've ever met in real life...

I guess it depends on what you need. I just checked rockauto.com for some random stuff like calipers and struts and and see many different aftermarket manufacturers offering parts. But there are probably certain parts that only Tesla can provide. Although I think that's true for most makes.

I think used ones are actually a good deal right now. I'm seeing 5 year old Model 3's going for low 20's. There is no engine so that eliminates most things that go wrong with a used car. Where did you hear that only tesla provides parts/service? Most of the non EV specific parts of the car can...

What kind of a numpty buys a car based on what random strangers on the road will think of him? You buy whatever meets your needs the best. My Tesla (bought new in summer 2023) now has just over 45,000 kms on it and it hasn't given me any problems yet, and saved me a few thousand in gas and lack...

The consensus from what I've been able to google is that cheap chinese batteries are crap. They start out fine but start to lose their capacity soon, and after a while you'd be better off if you'd just paid full price for a genuine battery.

Would love to pick up a 2nd bike if they really do drop down in price. The problem is then I'd have to pay double for insurance. There should be some way to reduce insurance if owning multiple bikes since I can't ride two bikes at once.

I bought the 40v ryobi mower last spring and used it all summer and it's been great. I can do my entire lawn on half the battery. The best thing about it is that it stores upright so it saves space. My only concern is if the battery dies a replacement 6ah 40v battery costs more than the mower...

Don't forget to budget another $2000 for the factory side cases.

I used to buy a new piece of gear at least once a year but for the past 2 years I've bought nothing as I have pretty much everything I need. One thing I've been thinking of buying is a pair of waterproof gloves, I got waterproof gear that keeps the rest of me dry, but nothing for my hands. But...

This sounds like it will be an incredible trip. And stopping to do hikes each day in unfamiliar areas sounds lots of fun. I wish I could join you but I can't get that much time off work. :( Only a few more decades till I retire then I'll be doing these kinds of trips every year. :D

What exactly are you expecting to change in the US? More hassle crossing the border?

I guess, if you're gonna start at the east end of labrador, ride across labrador to the quebec border, then make a u-turn and ride back. But most people who do the ride do a loop and that involves riding the 389.

No, large sections of hwy 389 are still unpaved, I think there's still several hundred kms of gravel.

A few rides I've been meaning to do for a few years but never got around to yet: -Up to Flin Flon SK, never been in that area yet. I'd like to go even further west but I don't think I can get enough time off work. -Still haven't been up to james bay, can tour the power plant up there too -Want...

Only some superchargers are open to non-teslas, many are still tesla-only. But they're slowly upgrading them to support all EVs.

I think this may have more to do with the charging network than the cars themselves. I was road tripping in the US during the thanksgiving long weekend (busiest travel weekend of the year) and only once had to wait to use a supercharger. The CCS chargers I saw were all always in use with many...

They used to be rebellious and cool 30+ yrs ago but now they're just conformist aren't they? I mean these days every other 50 year old office worker has them.

30 for me. I always wanted to ride, but while I lived with parents they never would have allowed it cause they viewed motorcycles as inherently dangerous. When I moved out on my own, during my 20s I lived in various sketchy apartment buildings in toronto so I didn't want to get a bike cause it...
