Actually working on my Beetles is a hobby, so car maintenance, is not an issue and this is one of mine ... VW Beetle Maintenance I have been commuting those miles for the last two years and from May to October I can go, home to work and back with 10-20 miles left for errands, regardless of...

My bad on the missing location; updated the profile. I live in a rural county, 30 miles northwest of Nashville. Thanks for the replies and nice spreadsheet DeckerEgo and there are a lot of variables for determining anyone's CF; which is a discussion for another time. First let me say that if...

I am considering buying another EV; I currently have a 2011 Leaf, do not remember the specific model and was wondering how the current Leaf models fair up against the E-Golf and E-Soul. Any opinons?

Thanks for the info. I have a 2011 and the hill in question is approximately 12.4 miles from my starting location. From my driveway to my office parking spot, the entire trip is 26.? miles. This winter I will have to pay more attention, as I do not remember it not ever regenerating going down...

My work route has a rather steep hill, about a half mile or so in length and I noticed that on mornings where the outside temp is less than 60 degrees I get only one regen dot and if the temp is greater than 60 I get two and on rare occasions I get three. Here are Drive Parameters ... 1) ECO...

First let me thank you for your insight as a Leaf Car Salesman. And yes the lowest person on the totem pole ends up in the crap pile and sometimes penniless. Let me offer this, if I could pay, say a $300 commission (like a restaurant tip) directly to the sales person, I would do that; but the...

Sometimes you just have play the cards you have been dealt. :( Keep in mind that the ICE Car "Industry Standard" tire rotation schedule is 3,000 to 7,000; which means that if you are an "average" (low end) to less than average (high end) miles driver, then this standard will work for you. I am...

OK, even though I decided to get the Michelin Premier's, at the time I was not satisfied with my understanding of the importance of the tires. So, I went searching for tire information on my level that I could ponder. I like science, but you can easily get lost and confused by it; so all of the...

What about State and Local Governments? I work in a State LEO and have inquired about charging stations, but the only response I have received is ... "We're working on it."

If you had one, you could reply that you own the "Cadillac" of "Golf Carts" ... :P

I think that everybody is getting hung up on the science, whether you are fore or against, or whether it supports your view point or not; the only certainty is that the planet has had in its long past, warm events (up) and cold events (down), in a bio-rhythm like pattern; some short lived, some...

Traded in a 1987 Dodge B250 3/4 Ton Customized Van. It was used for the family vacations and then handed down to me and I did the same, but after the kids grew up, we rarely used it and it remained parked. I only drive the ICE car when there is a range issue or destination that I have not...

Thanks for the info and the stories that I could tell you about the tire shops in my town; I want to be prepared and sorting through the truths, half truths and misinformation can be daunting. So the TPMS units have a battery; what is the average life cycle of a TPMS battery? From my...

I think their choice to use cartoons was good one; although they look more like comic strip layout. Perhaps it is because they are trying to appeal to the child demographic.

The tire place I go to is a local chain (they have three stores), so I will have to ask if they are knowledgeable about TPMS.
