    Studded tire recommendations ?

    I'm in the PNW, and the winter is supposed to be wild this year. I have to take my elderly mother places quite often and being in Portland the ice is usually pretty gnarly. I'm looking for studded tires. Would you go for the 19" or go down to a 18" wheel for winter tires? Also is there...

    How long are you going to keep your Mach-E? Since trade in values are plummeting, do you keep it and pay it off or trade it in and get something newer/something else?

    DCFC and SOC weirdness

    Damaged underside driving through puddle / water

    Had no choice but to drive through a flooded part of the freeway. Couldn’t slow down fast enough. The side piece of trim had not been installed correctly last time it was in the shop for a hvbjb replacement. The puddle appears to have ripped off the trim. And the shield under the car...
