We are up $! to $1.25 a gallon here in Western Washington. I'm with the OP though - fuel must be still too cheap for some folks - I live by a park and still see people sitting in their cars with the engines idling!
I white knuckled across "water over the roadway" that I had no business driving through. I know it was stupid but it would have been at least a ten mile backtrack and there was a Tesla that did it just ahead of me. I figured if they didn't burst into flames I had a chance with our slightly...
I noticed a week or so ago that one of mine, in the same location, had fallen out.
Where are all the lemon law advocates? ;)
I'm going to order a bag of the phillips type posted above - 33 cents a piece seems like a bargain!
Getting further off topic - we stream a bit of news from overseas, usually BBC so we can get some "less" biased news. Their commercials are very different - hardly any drug ads, but tons of legal gambling!
After reading about Mav's getting rear ended, I had a friend follow me to see if/when the brake lights come on. As soon as I apply any pressure on the brake pedal, just engaging the regen, the lights come on. I've never hit the "L" button, but eco regen without hitting the brakes slows me down...

Yeah , I was extolling the virtues of my hybrid to someone and they asked "so It saves you a bunch of money". I had to say "hell no! Between insurance and state fees I would have been far ahead just driving my Range"r. But then I wouldn't be saving the world!
I love my Hybrid, but we don't want to be these guys!
Edit - PS, I hope posting this video does not (seriously) offend anyone or break any forum rules.
This fits in the side badge with only a ~ 20mm hole - no extra screws needed. Mated up to the eyelet extension that came with my Battery Tender. I didn't want to necessarily modify the truck, but even with a new battery and/or software fix, my less than 5K miles per year would necessitate at...
The dealer didn't put mine on but I found it under the back seat. Don't really want to drill into the bumper so I'm waiting until I'm forced to. It's required in my state. For now I'm doing the "Tesla"
