Added this 2013 Kubota Z725 Zero Turn mower. Our Case dealer has been open since 1934. It's first couple years at the dealership. It served as a demo and then the last 10 years it's been at the dealership owner who is 77 for his personal use at his house and showed 433 hours. After a few hours...

From my personal experience I really see how Full Self Driving will be default to get insurance discounts by 2035. Two years ago on my way to Austin TX I reached Little rock AR right after dark. FSD was iffy in general but okay on Interstates for the most part so I engaged FSD and lived to tell...

I find voice commands trumps touch screens and knobs.

Thanks for doing a great job of explaining the math as to our range experience with the 2016 Leaf SL that we bought with 22K miles in 2019 as an EV test bed. It came with a 30 kWh battery that had no active cooling technology and chemistry that could not cope with triple digit (F) temperatures...

Leasing new technology can make financial sense often especially for the non-gambling types. We bought our 2016 Leaf SL with the four camera system fresh off lease in 2019 with 22K miles for $13,800.00. Five weeks after hauling it home from St. Louis with the 2010 F-150 it triggered the...

Our fiber to the house is about 13, maybe 15 years old and it's quite dependable but I noticed several times during the day it kicks in and out but sometimes it's just a flash. When the Tesla/ starlink phone service is available, I might take a look at that. Verizon is the best choice around...

Autonomous everything is here or coming soon it seems.

Nice looking 3600. Our 1980 3600 is a diesel and has set outside for the last 40 years and goes by Rusty.

Oaktree any EV owner charging at WM, Tesla Supercharger etc needs to stick with gas or diesel vehicles if they're going to spend 3-4 hours connected to the WM or Tesla chargers because chargers keep the meter running even when charged to 100% if charging cable is not physically removed from the...

This rollout is planned over the next five years. While Tesla brand chargers have good coverage, some of their locations suck.

I think we are past icy mornings and grass is growing. Got the DR brush mower out to clean up some. The 1993 32' Georgie Boy Pursuit parked in the driveway next to the house fell into disuse when the kids got their driver licenses and trucks years ago. We bought it in 2007 when the twins were...

Change leaders are the current buyers of the Cyber truck for the most part. We are essentially looking at a cyber truck when the third generation releases. We have a second generation model y and as of this January the release of the third generation model y was out and it is much enhanced over...

Always having a powerful 240 volt generator functionality with me at all times that makes no noise I find attractive at my age.

Did you ever get to meet Rosie the riveter?

They continue growing on the general public. About 6: 30 yesterday afternoon I went by The body shop to see if they had made any progress on my model. Y and got mugged by two bulldogs belonging to the body shop owner. I knew if they were out the owner had to be outside probably so I walked...
