Things you don't buy from Korean companies:

You really hate Tesla don't you

We just like the car, that's it. Not because of prestige, not because of some illusion of grandeur, it's just a nice cheap, sleek car that also happens to be fully electric and carry an HOV lane sticker.

The technology it comes with is also really fascinating. But I don't need to tell you about that.

I should add it's not for me. It's replacing my family's E320, and my parents love the Model 3. My father's primary client is Tesla so he's familiar with them.

 

Rant :

Why are tire inflators such POS now. Been trying to find a decent tire inflator to go with my new Viair. Bought a Jaco from Amazon for $35, figure since it cost a bit more should be decent & had good reviews. Thing was a piece of crap, gauge was so inaccurate. Thought the glow in dark dial would be cool for times at Pismo or on the trail if it got dark. Sent that crap back.

I have one that I bought from HF a long time ago. It's actually pretty nice quality. I changed the gauge cause it went all the way up to 220psi which I didn't need. HF doesn't sell them anymore. So on ebay I found the HF ones. Bought & received today. Well either I'm mistaken & mine wasn't from HF or they changed them, total POS too.

ARB is probably China too but they only make them with digital gauges now. F digital gauges, don't want to deal with batteries for something like this. Ordered an Astro Ai brand from Amazon, hopefully it's better.

My trusty tire inflator that has served me well for 20+ yrs:

 

I HATE teslas too & elon musk! So much that I won't even type their names in captial letters!

 

I think the cars they build are just ugly as fuck.

The one thing I never understood what people get all up in arms about not being able to have the right to repair. I can't fix my Apple leash OMG I need to riot in the streets. OMG these farmers can't fix their tractors, fuck John Deere. Yet buy a Tesla for tens of thousands of dollars are you're lock step with Tesla on every repair outside changing tires. Toyota should have nuked that site from orbit when they had the chance.

I mean never mind John Deere still sells parts over the counter and that Apple Leash is easily replaceable.

 

Enron Husk will be the downfall of Tesla. He's already back on a tear on Twitter and has given up any stock gains since signing his agreement with the SEC.

 

You realize I've done a whole TED talk on this exact topic, right?

I despise Apple and their practices. But that doesn't stop me from using an iPhone and a MacBook every day.

 

nah they showing it can take big jumps softly

 

thats not the right ATF for the car... WS would quickly grenade a trans that takes type-iv (at least thats what im told... im not willing to find out)

 

I have a bluepoint one at work.. been working great and its accurate over the past 4 years.... this is the exact same thing for way less

oh... just noticed you dont want digital. makes sense
i honestly cannot find a good analog tire gauge..

 

Thanks for the suggestion but that's the thing, I don't want a digital gauge for a tire inflator that will be used on the trail even if the battery might last long. I prefer an analog gauge for things like this anyway.

 

Apple and Tesla can't even be compared

 

Check out Milton brand

 

I’ve had luck with the Milton’s but god forbid you drop it. They always lose they’re accuracy for some reason when dropped from most than like 2 ft

 

Thanks, Milton is a brand I usually trust but they don't have any with a dial gauge, not that I have seen. The Miltons are the style that HF new Merlin brand copied.

 

I gave one from my donor engine away to a scrapper 2 years ago because I couldn't sell it

 

Oh, I didn't realize it was a video. Lol

I thought they were just lifting unnecessarily high just to show droop.

Haha oops.

 

Why his profile pic show him jumping but he dont know about rear suspension for jumping

 

this hurts me.
