Any Tesla owners?

BTW. How is your mom doing?

You just gave me flashbacks of using that fucking uhaul trailer. Towed this bitch almost 350 miles. God I hated that fucking trailer brake system.

[LS1Goat]

4th Gen ram is a huge piece of shit, well at least mine is. 54,000 miles and it has had 5 recalls, towed in twice to dodge. Both for braking system, I have an all new abs system now. Torn the motor apart once, waited 2 months for a new transmission and now tearing apart my motor again. I haven't even seen my truck in 7 weeks at this point and have no idea when I will get it back. All this under warranty mind you. Also there are a few other things wrong with it they are fixing as well. Lets not forget the shake in the ass end nobody can figure out at highway speed. People all over having the problem and nobody knows how to solve it. The day after I get it back I'm going back to chevy. Sorry to hijack the thread but I saw this and had to rant.

That sucks. I'm not discounting your experience. Sorry to hear that. I'm just saying that I have a 4th Gen that has been rock solid. I bought it new in 2012. It's only had oil and air filter changes. 1 battery replacement. I've towed a variety of different cars on a 2,200lbs. trailer. The Hemi and the 65RFE just pulls and pulls. It doesn't give a damn what you throw behind it. Sure, it likes to see the gas station on trips. However, The a/c is cold. Heat is hot. It doesn't leak, like my Fords did. The TSBs are non-sense. They are cable relocations in the steering columns. Whatever.

Now each truck has it's own set of recalls. Mine is a RCSB and I've not had a problem with that. I would imagine that a Quad or Crew would have a different set of recalls.

I do find it interesting where one person has no problems and another has tons. I don't disregard it. Perhaps, you got a Friday truck.

My truck is bad to the bone.

Damn man that really sucks.

I'll take a leaky, squeaky Ford F-150 every day of the week rather than deal with that bullshit...

Nothing "shitty" about a 4th Gen RAM. Have you owned one?



Not a boomer, but 0 fucks given.

I had a 19 Ram Laramie or something the last time my car got hit. Really nice inside.

Oh its nice for about 3 years.

I would never own a piece of shit dodge ram.

Jus' Sayin' that Texas gets more power from WIND than from Coal. ERCOT says Texas gets 21.37% from coal and 21.78% from Wind. Wind is still on the increase and coal is still in decline. Natural gas is king at 43.93% Nuclear 11.33%, Hydro .4%. Solar is 1.1%.

So non nuclear renewables are 22.88%

They're still building more and more wind turbines. If I recall correctly, the US has already shut down more coal mines than it has opened since Trump made it easier for them. Coal is a dead man walkin' in the US and Nat Gas is the executioner.

I understand your point, but Texas still burns a lot of coal and petrol.

..

Also, on the Ram's uConnect, which 'looks' phenominal. There is one problem. The uConnect software is utter garbage. At least it is on the 7 and 8.2" models. I'd have a hard time believing it's any better for the big screen.

Speaking for myself. I've not had any issues with UConnect.

[Sgt Beavis]

I'll say this on behalf of the coal and natural gas industrious. Go get those electric cars. When you plug in, you're burning coal. Thank you for all these people that will have continued job security with you electric folks.

If you want to have a giant and ridiculous screen in your center stack, then take a lesson from Mopar. They do it right and use aesthetic common sense by integrating it.

If you're a Gen Xer it's even more embarassing that you dont know how supercharge stations work.

If you're prior to a boomer then props on your ability to use a computer.

lol...

It's totally practical for me and the way I drive. Also having a 4 door is going to be real nice. I still have gas cars, and if I need to make a trip where I won't be able to charge, I'll just take my other car. But as it is I don't haul trailers, I and I can't sit in a car for more than 300 miles without taking a piss brake or needing to walk around a bit.
What I thought I'd have a hard time with is the lack of sound, but turns out the motors do make sound and it sounds like the future! lol I haven't been pulled over in ages, but I'm thinking the Tesla (when I eventually get it) will land me in hot water.

That's cool. It's all good.

[4bangen]

Not angry, Matthew. I'm just from an older generation. It's hard to adapt. I would be the first person to say hey take me for a ride in your new Model 3. I just don't see how it's practical. That's probably because I on occasion takes some long hauls and pull cars and I don't see how electric would be viable. In fact, it wouldn't.

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Certainly not an insult to anyone, but if you choose to see it that way. That's up to you.

Bless you, friend.
