The manufacturer doesn’t make any money off the service and repairs. That’s the dealership. And they are independent of the car manufacturers. All I can say is what I was told. I have no idea if it’s changed. Or if it was accurate then or not.
Indeed! During that mystical free love age from about the late sixties to mid-seventies, before Herpes and HIV reared their ugly heads.
Yep. Easy peasy and crazy as fk.
I worked for a Dealership in my younger days and you are absolutely correct. Fking dealership are a rip off especially their service and parts department.
The manufacturer does make money on replacement parts that they sell to the dealerships and EV's don't have transmissions, and electric motors are extremely low maintenance. Even the brake pads last longer because most braking is dynamic which recharges the battery.
Does the Ford dealership where you work service EV's?
You're looking prettier everyday brother Rosterman!

I've heard of Fry's but never lived close to one....I kinda like the option of doing it my way. I put my Windows on one hard drive, and I have another hard drive for storage, and games. Just going to take the hard drive from the one I'm using now, I have pictures I've saved since 2012, recipes, metal detecting stuff, etc.

I remember those days well. Got through the Sexual Revolution without a purple heart! Wasn't from lack of trying. The purple helmeted heat seeker went spots it probably shouldn't have....
I hear those Japanese car dealerships are the worst........
Mercedes gets their pound of flesh, but they provide good customer service.

1st computer I built was back in 1998. It was a Pentium 933 that I overlooked to 1050.
Use to clone my Hard Drives just in case of a bad virus or something goes wrong.

I tried to get the local computer store to install a breathalyzer on my computer. I can't remember what version of windows it was, but it was one of the first. I'd do something and a prompt would pop up "do you want to to this?", then I'd go ahead and do it and I'd get another prompt "do you really want to do this?". I needed a third prompt, "Damn it Hippie, are you drunk again?".
Would have saved me a lot of anxiety and problems.

Pullet landed in South Carolina for a two hour layover. Looks like it's gonna be good weather in Huston with a high of 80 and a low of 70. She's hyped for the game and the Starbucks coffee she's been sucking down waiting in the airports.

Lol...my first was in 2001, but I have always been an AMD fan...I had this huge steel server case I bought, it had a slide out motherboard tray, I loved it, but it was heavy as heck, and ended up being hard to cool, after a couple more builds with faster, hotter cpu's. I actually still have the case, sitting in a corner, just can't bring myself to get rid of it.I
