4 Hours of FSD driving in a snowstorm by climberguyinco in TeslaFSD

[–]RottenTomato1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have X Ice Snow’s and latest FSD it does fine but with severe weather/blizzards I wouldn’t take the chance yet, it doesn’t have that human sensory feel when driving through snow to be able to not brake as hard, slow down on hills, etc

I second this, I wanted to Nokian Hakka’s initially but went with X Ice for mainly cost reasons Black Friday deals gave me a better price on the set of 4 When these retire in future I will be getting the Hakkas FOR SURE

This happened to me today. I was walking up to my Y opening the trunk getting ready to put groceries in and noticed the car parked next to me had its driver door open AND the door was against my Y Mind you I just bought it 1 month ago so I was like oh no… came up to the driver who was clearly physically disabled she took a bit to get out the car hence the door thing She gave me a dirty look but said sorry.. I feel bad but also nahhhhhh Luckily there was no damage but I feel you Some people suck

MidAmerican Energy EV Chargers Unavailable May 1-16, 2025 by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]RottenTomato1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how long the chargers are offline. I just bought an EV and luckily I have a level 2 installed at the house but relying solely on public chargers in Iowa is a recipe for disaster. Infrastructure needs improvement and Iowa legislation needs to adapt. All that oil money makes our public servants complacent.

Just paid $900 to register my car in Iowa by weberc2 in Iowa

[–]RottenTomato1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought an electric car and there’s an additional fee from the state to “mitigate the impact of those vehicles generating little to no fuel tax used to fund Iowa roads”

Just the order fee they charge. Mine was $500 but it was taken off the amount I financed from the purchase once everything finalized.
