Is it still worth buying a Tesla in 2024?
Buying a Tesla has issues and replacement battery costs are indeed astronomical. Tesla restricts who can service, and for whatever reason Tesla want to stop you driving, they can just remotely turn your car off, for instance if you don't getting serviced after being reminded a few times. The costs of using Tesla Fast chargers is not that different to buying gas.
The future of electric vehicles has a long way to go, and some manufacturers are dropping out of the race.
Getting 40 kilometers (I am in Canada) from your hybrid is dreadful mileage.
Thinking about Carbon Footprint and being 'Eco', the mining of the lithium for a Tesla battery is not good for the planet, then they have to be reprocessed at end of life. Have you seen what happens when a lithium battery spontaneously combusts!
Lots to consider. Look are Scotty Kilmer on YouTube, he is very anti-electric vehicles, but provides facts from trade publications in a fun and informative manner.

2007 Toyota Camry Le 2.4l. how do i put the ignition coil connetor wires back into the correct position? can you send me a wiring digram with color code?
I can guide you on how to reconnect the ignition coil connector wires correctly on your 2007 Toyota Camry LE 2.4L. Each wire should be connected to the corresponding terminal on the ignition coil.
Here is a general guideline based on the standard wire color-coding for most vehicles:
1. Start by identifying the ignition coil and the connector wires that you need to reconnect.
2. Check the wires for any color-coding. Typically, the wires are color-coded as follows:
- Black or Black with a White stripe
- Yellow or Yellow with a Blue stripe
- Blue or Blue with a Yellow stripe
- Green or Green with a White stripe
Here is a potential wiring configuration (please verify with your vehicle manual or a professional):
- Black or Black with a White stripe wire connects to the negative terminal (-) on the ignition coil.
- Yellow or Yellow with a Blue stripe wire connects to the positive terminal (+) on the ignition coil.
- Blue or Blue with a Yellow stripe wire connects to another terminal on the ignition coil.
- Green or Green with a White stripe wire connects to a different terminal on the ignition coil.
If your wires have a different color scheme, consult a repair manual for your specific vehicle or reach out to a professional for assistance. When reconnecting the wires, ensure they are securely attached to the respective terminals to prevent any loose connections or electrical issues.

1999 Buick Regal LS. Lost Overdrive. Changed filter no help. Can be forced into OD if I get the RPM'S up over 3000. 170,000+ on it. 4T65E transmission. Is there a quick fix for this?
P1811 is for maximum shift adaptation and long shift detected.
The possible causes are long -
clogged transmission filter
cut seal on transmission filter
low or burnt fluid
1-2 accumulator faulty
2-3 accumulator faulty
3-4 accumulator faulty
valve body spacer plate damaged
pressure regulating solenoid damaged
pressure regulating valve damaged
fluid pump faulty
restriction in hydraulics of transmission
1,2 or 3 clutch damaged
forward band burned or broken
torque converter clutch broken
The first step is to check line pressures with scan tool and transmission pressure gage, then with scan tool test the pressure solenoid. If pressures are low and pressure solenoid test good, then transmission is pulled and torn down to inspect and repair as needed, which is usually a complete rebuild in this case.
