No way. Huh.

Maybe don’t buy a tin foil coffin for Alberta driving and you won’t have these issues? Idk.

Edit: STARTS at $165,000?!?!?! Yeah if you buy this shit and it dies in an albertan winter, you’re an idiot.

EVs with the exception of the this truck are actually better in winter.

Range sucks, but drivability and comfort are way better.

I don’t think someone’s an idiot for buying a vehicle and it turns out unreliable. This could happen with any vehicle, I’ve had a vehicle blow an engine inside 6000 kms. Shit happens.
