Did it twice this morning and once yesterday...

It's satisfying when one's horn rises to each presented occasion!

Did he not say 100%, 200% and more, during his campaign?

I didn’t hear that but he . . . meanders? I think he’s been claiming 10-20, and up to 60 on China. But even a 10% tariff on a Grenadier - that’s $8-10k, MOST of which I assume will be passed on to the buyer.

Here in the UK, our government has just added another several thousand pounds in purchase tax for vehicles like the Grenadier.

Good Lord - I’m sure your government delivers a lot of value for that tax ;o)

She is making her rounds. Here is a 8 min video from Dubai. Quick talk towards the end about Trump Tariffs. Nothing really said but acknowledged it might be an issue for them.

There is enough inventory on the ground and there is zero issue with trade with the UK or EU for that matter. It’s not an issue and won’t be until it affects something. Jim has more employees in the USA than anywhere else

Trump is saying 10-20 across the board, 25% on Mexico (and maybe Canada), up to 60 on China - not sure how you can say that, and “inventory on the ground” is not comforting to anyone who wants to spec their build. But who knows - maybe if Ratcliffe makes a flattering call, Trump will exempt Ineos - come to think of it, that LeTech prototype on portals is pretty red. If they make it “the MAGA build,” they have it made in the shade.

He won't like the NATO plug...

I find myself using the toot horn far more frequently than the regular horn

I'd trade it for a heated steering wheel in an instant

 

[Dlucky]

God damn.. adas clicks I can deal with.. what about the power steering whine?!

HVAC that produces no heat, or if there is heat, it’s accompanied by a whistle..

Those other issues, there are no workarounds..

Agreed, the power steering is crazy, unbelievable that it’s normal…

 

[Dlucky]

How loud is your power steering? Mine kept getting louder. I’ve gotten multiple errors. The dealer tells me it’s “normal” yet the loaner I drive is silent. So I can’t seem to get a grip on what “normal” should sound like.

Mine is leaf blower loud

 

[Jiman01]

I’m gonna say mine doesn’t do that cause I’m pretty sure I would notice something that loud.

 

[OGrid]

My 2c, it’s not normal. The dealers are wrong.

My vehicle’s power steering makes no sound (none) and the vehicles I driven domestically (dealer spares) in Aus make no sound either.

 

[ADVAW8S]

On power steering, someone needs to purge it and refill to see if it stops the whine.

I’ve never seen those errors - have over 10,000 miles on mine.
