On the low end it could be low $20s, actually.Oh, my. So please enlighten us, middle-class-plebian @manhattanprjkt83, just how much is the blue book on that middle-class mobile?

Ha! Knew it.
which model tesla? i kinda / sorta like the idea of the super sleeper model 3 performance - homely, but will tear the wheels off most cars on the road, and do so with utmost enviro smugness.
I have a 3 long range AWD. I wanted 18” wheels and they weren’t selling Performances at that time with anything but 20”.
Is there a short range? Didn't know that...
AWD does imply the LR pack, yes. For RWD there is a standard range, a standard range plus, a mid range (only lived shortly), and a long range.
custom tool boxes
i know there's more than a few tool nerds here. anyone here ever mess around with cutting foam inserts for your tool boxes? i've toyed around with this idea for a while, and have recently come into possession of a pelican 1600, and kaizen makes an foam set for this case that's not an...

Since you guys know it all, let's hear how much it cost. Bottle cages retail for under $10. How's half of one worth $35? Let me guess--Your insider told you that it cost upwards of $100k to make the mold and they only sell 5 of these a year. Right?

Because that's a bike packing cage and is designed to hold a gallon jug for starters.
Honestly did you look at that for more than a millisecond before posting your knee jerk reaction?
What’s weak about that Salsa cage is that they are ripping of King Cage, but with plastic.

Sucks for the test rider. Never liked the hidden pivots much despite having no personal experience, this just reinforces my gut feeling those things don't look right.FINALLY SOME EXCITEMENT
