visited a local tire shop in Centreville because I had a flat tire. Since I didn't really know about cars/tires well, the workers didn't seem to really care. I had to replace 3 tires(one in front and 2 rears) and they quoted $1500. I first thought it was ridiculous for 3 tire replacement so I only asked for a single. They quoted $500 including labor fee. Is this reasonable for single tire replacement?

Here is the breakdown

Continental Procontact Rx size 23540R19: ~$440Labor: ~$30

The two rears are also wearing out and need to get em replaced soon. Should I visit this place again?

Can someone briefly explain the simplest way to watch sentry events? I thought I saw an option in the car but can’t find it now.

Do I really need to plug the usb into a computer? That feels so dated. Can I stream the events from my phone?

Had my MYLR7 for a week and went on a cross-state road trip. Got home with lots of bugs and tree gunk on it. Tried a touchless car wash and for the price (and people saying don’t do it) it didn’t do a great job.

So I’m buying into the hype and going self wash. What are some tools/supplies you have purchased that work well? Brushes, scrubbers, sprayers, cleaners?

Hi everyone. I live in Montreal and I am looking at buying a model 3 (standard range or long range - I’m still undecided). I always keep my vehicles for 12 plus years. My current one is over 15 years old and close to 300k km. Are there any estimates / projections of what a model 3 battery pack replacement will cost in 10 to 12 years from now (if ever I needed a replacement)? Thank you for your help and advice.

*** Update *** thank you for all your comments and advice. I was not expecting so many to respond! I understand that ICE vehicles have their share of expensive repairs (transmissions, engines, exhaust…) My question comes from the fact that i have been driving ICE vehicles for over 30 years and the most expensive repair was a 2500$ transmission (7 years ago). When I see people talking about 17K$ battery replacements (and I understand it’s a small % and most are still under warranty right now) - I find it a bit shocking. My expectation is that the cost of battery replacement over the next 5-10 years should go down as newer technologies become available. I also understand that most batteries may last 15+ years and that I may never need a replacement. My questions was more if you guys have seen any reports talking about battery replacement cost over the next decade or maybe know of companies that are starting to specialize in this type of business. Thanks again.
