    Lots of Teslas here. The Giga Factory is just over there hill and I think the workers get a big discount. Usually see several of the "pickups" every trip to Reno. I have yet to see one hauling ANYTHING.

    Well, it finally happened to me!!!
    I had only read about it from people buying parts, I was pricing tires at C@$/co, as I normally do I gave the guy every bit of info needed, then he asked me half of it again, then he asks "what color is it"?:confused:
    Yep, I couldn't believe he actually asked me that, I said "you must be joking", nope, he says the computer won't let me go any further until it gets A COLOR, I says who came up with such a stupid question to buy tires, he paused, shrugged, says corporite, I so wanted to say PINK but figured why make this more painful for both of us than it already is.

    Meh.
    Most likely the system is setup for purchase and not browsing. Costco tire centers around here are usually very busy.

    Thus in a parking lot sea of vehicles they are gonna need to know what color for easy identification/verification.
    I've checked tire pricing from CoCost logged in online, just look up pricing that way, much easier/faster.

    Not sure, but I think I MAY have found out why the compression in that cylinder was low...
