I actually do customer support for a faxing service. You’d be amazed how widely used it is still.

I mostly do my own work, but whenever I do take my car to the local Mazda dealer, they always provide a full inspection report as well as a video of the tech checking everything and explaining anything that they’ve found. Even when my wife takes her car in for only basic maintenance (it’s still under warranty so we take it in for oil changes), they do the same thing and don’t charge anything extra.

Same dealer network owns the local Ford dealer and I ended up taking my old Fiesta ST there for an oil change as I didn’t have the space to do it myself at the time. $45 for an oil change and tire rotation, and I got the same inspection report and video.

A while ago, there was something that showed the higher failure rate of various components on EVs because of the lack of routine service that has cars have. Basically, gas cars get a service and inspection every 5-10k miles when the oil is changed and any worn bearings, bushings, etc. are found. EVs don’t have that so things go unnoticed until they fail. Could this be the same? Could the “reliability” concerns just be normal wear that isn’t getting caught since there are no routing inspections?

Is this only in certain areas? YouTube is still working fine for me on FireFox.

It’s not an employee benefit. It’s a membership thing that customers can sign up for. It was literally the only perk of it.

Yes! I miss my r/Triumph and r/KLR650. Also missing r/Miata.

Getting this covid shot over with. Currently in the waiting room and I HATE needles.

Not the one you replied to, but I don’t think so only because most people believe that it’s not as simple as your standard social media, and, to some extent, they’re right.

Torque is amazing. Bought the pro version of the app and it has saved me so much money over going to a mechanic when my shitboxes break.

Don’t scare me like that!

My mother did that so I ended up doing the same in elementary school. It took me a while, but I realized how disgusting it was and have been using cloths, or my shirt, for most of my life.

My father-in-law shares a name with a famous actor. We got him to sign my partner’s motorcycle helmet so they can go around and say they got their helmet signed by the actor. We use it to mess with our friends a lot.
