  • The best three things we can do in space are:

    1. Space elevator to get things up into space with less resources than all the fuel we currently use. Just need to work out a super strong material to make the cable out of.

    2. Solar power stations that send it down wirelessly to earth, they can get power without all the annoying atmosphere in the way, just need to work out how to transmit power wirelessly and safely.

    3. A way of collecting all the debris we continue to leave floating around in space and the upper atmosphere that will eventually make it harder to have things not get hit with high speed debris.












  • The studded tires themselves were balanced when i bought them and got them installed on rims. I check the tires for inconsistent wear and label them so I know where the were and rotate them accordingly. (The winter tires are unidirectional so I rotate them front to back but not side to side.) The non studded tires I have are also classed as all season but have a mountain symbol so are safe for winter driving as well but I want the studded for any winter highway driving and occasional skihill driving.

    If I notice any odd pulling, bad wear patterns or steering issues then I would go in for an actual alignment.

    Sorry I didn’t answer in order of how you asked but I store my EV tires in my garage as well as our truck tires. I change both vehicles tires myself, I have a floor jack and an air compressor with air tools as well as a torque wrench for final tightening. I bought the tires on rims with TPS sensors installed and balancing was included in the cost.



  • I’ve had my EV for 5 years. I take it in once a year for an update. My brakes are at 80%. They wanted to do a brake line flush but I’ll do it myself because I’m not paying 275 dollars for them to do something I can do myself while I am changing to my winter tires anyways.

    There is just so many things that aren’t in EVs to fix compared to the amount of wear and tear parts of ICE cars.
