Started seeing ads for this on iPhone news; "you don't buy your music any more; why should you buy your car?" is the tag line!

Paint Ceramic Coatings

what kind of costs are we talking here? one of the youtuber mentioned $5K for full wrap; that seems to be crazy amount to pay for paint protection unless the car is worth half a million dollar.

Cars nerds - how does VW Atlas (6,000 lbs) get 19 MPG while Pilot (4,000 lbs) only gets 21 MPG?

Ya, when somebody starts with something completely bogus assumption (which was sort of obvious, even Ford duelly may just barely tip at 6000lb), it takes ATG many many replies before somebody says "emperor has no clothes"!

For 60K, you can NOT get used S with 300+ mile range at all. Used S in that price will be 200 miles range. Base model does not have heated seats or power adjustable seat etc. That is pretty sparsely equipped. Upgrade interior for $5,500 – Heated seating, two rear USBs, wood decor, 12-way...

between having to fork over 49K for long range+upgrade pkg+earlier delivery vs 35K for standard range+vanilla interior+later delivery what are the decisions you guys are making? I am not sure I want to go full hog wild with the option list and turn that 35K car in to 60K car once you add the...
