I was digging into the Washington state proposal to see if it was going to be equitable or not. The plan was to charge 2.5 cents per mile. With the current state tax set at 55.4 cents/gal, it works out to a car getting 22.16 miles per gallon would be paying exactly 2.5 cents/mile and would not...

Good catch I just figured I paid when I did my initial registration, but if I dig in a little I probably didn't!

Didn't Oregon start a OReGO program to tax by the mile, or was it like the one in Washington that died on the vine? PS, Thank You for your service!

Below are the current wording from the RCW. The original text (section 1) would have gotten us off as we can't go 30 miles on battery alone, as you were trying to argue with DOL. Section 2 is where they stipulate even if you don't meet the requirements of section 1 and 4 you still have to pay...

I hear you guys and have done a little digging myself. The electrification fee levied on us Washingtonians by RCW 46.17.324 isn't going away (might go higher) until an alternate funding mechanism is found to replace waning gas tax revenues. Originally the fee only applied to all electric and...

The dealer replacing your infotainment system is exactly why I don't want to take mine to a dealer and have them start swapping out parts!

Ignorance is bliss - theirs is yours! Here is mine from Island County - the fee is a state requirement, so they must think you have an EB, not a hybrid. This is from the email receipt I got when I paid online. I'll try to remember to look at my registration (it's out in the truck) to see if...

Mine hasn't moved yet - but it's early! I got a lower cost one from Amazon for Christmas. It works great and came with some thread locker that I didn't use but, will as soon as the screw starts to loosen.

OK, I'll bite - stir-welded? I've seen small rod shaped objects friction spun weld, but not sure how that small geometry lends it's self to stir welding?

I used a German spec torque - gutentight!

This would be Highway robbery (pun intended)

Yes, funny wording indeed! Half the time it does not appear like they read the crap that is put in writing. Maybe they had AI do it!!

I've been surfing the various threads on permanent charger hook-ups. Just ordered one of these - was wondering if anybody else tried this type. I like the idea of not having small satellite screws that might pull out and this one looks like it will be fairly water tight.

Did you glue the bin to the door or is it some kind of snap fit?

I ripped most of my old CD's to my PC like @mkebikecop did, then put them on my phone. I play them on Android Auto.

@JAFO - two more questions for you What was it like drilling through the badge plastic - is it soft(ish) or more brittle? I saw you used a spade bit and I had a mental image of the badge shattering when the bit dug in. That's happened to me drilling holes in some nice plastic planters...

Indeed a big MF!

Wow, that would have scared the living crap out of me!

It's a catch-22. Taking my truck to a dealer for a new battery without a software fix is not a permanent solution, so I'd rather not waste my time. Keeping the stock battery charged up keeps my truck out of the hands of the dealer and me out of the waiting room. I'll keep topping mine off...
