[image] Tried_Tested: My understanding is diesel engines last a lot longer The reason we bought a VW pickup with diesel engine back in the 1980s. VW diesel engines in cars were known to go 500,000 to 1,000,000 miles. 40+ mpg and 400 range on a tank. Diesel was cheaper than unleaded back th…

I will say this re: electric trucks, if you’re just looking for one as a daily driver and or status symbol (as trucks seem to be these days), go for it. If you’re going to use it in any manner for hauling stuff, you know, why trucks exist, then look real hard at how much their range dips under a loa…

I would be moving from a 2011 SUV, no towing, but I do move, STUFF, not heavy but stuff and there are a few days when the SUV seats down, tailgate up is used! But good points!

We have a 1997 extended cab, 7’ bed F150 that regularly hauls up to 2 full pallets worth of books, sometimes up to 600 miles a round-trip.

[image] lake: What do you think the trickle down effect of this news will be? It says that back in July, Matson suspended shipping service to Hawaii (and Guam, Alaska, and Micronesia) for lithium batteries due to safety concerns, particularly with the cargo configuration of their ships. As …

Sounds like this carrier is not really suited to this type of cargo. Why would shipping any type of car this way be the way to go??? I suspect that, due to the marketshare of the particular carrier, this may have a short term effect, I doubt it will be a major long term issue. Probably less than …

Well, on the bright side, salt water is how you destroy lithium batteries so the ocean will make those batteries ‘safe’ for disposal! My son has a salt water bath at the store to soak all the old batteries that customers bring in when they buy new ones for their RC cars. Back in the old days if yo…

[image] papy: I didn’t realize there was high demand for EVs in Hawaii, but evidently there are 37,000 EVs already there. Hawaii has to import nearly everything, including fuel, so gas prices are higher there than almost anywhere else in the US. For several reasons, HI is a great place for e…
