Maybe he has TSL Boggers on it, those things will flat spot overnight.

If it is Romex metal cable and a metal box, the metal outer shell is grounded at the main panel and IS the ground wire.

They don't seem to want to sell them to bad. There is a 2022 long range model 3 near me with 50K miles for 28,656. Doesn't seem like a fire sale to me.

Present house is all copper, it is 125 years old. Pretty sure it was retrofitted with indoor plumbing in the late 40s. Over the last couple of years I have had to replace the cast iron drain pipes and the lead drains but the copper water pipe has never had an issue. Our under construction...

The blue concrete screws and 3/4 U shaped pipe clamps

That charger isn't going to move the needle much on a 100 amp hour battery. That charger you have is for motorcycle batteries or lawn mowers (12-20 Ah) batteries. It doesn't have enough output to overcharge that battery.

IDK about "outlier." Two of our 4 vehicles are 20 years old and have never had any major mechanical issues. 98 F150 5.4 4x4 and 04 Escape 3.0 4x4. Also have a 10 year Armada 4x4 that has only needed an ECU and a 15 year old Mazda that has never needed anything except routine maintenance and wear...

Concur. My cordless power tool batteries have the exact same cells and they don't last anywhere near that number of years. I know the architecture is different and Tesla's cell management system is better, but the death of cells is certain.

I doubt Israel will miss this opportunity to set Iran's nuclear capability back 20 years.

deatsch werks pumps are some of the best available and you can just replace your pump instead of the entire assembly. Walbro is a dependable alternate for a little less money.
