It didn’t happen to me, my car doesn’t have TPMS sensors, but a buddy of mine had the cap on his valve stem corrode. The corrosion borked the entire valve stem, and he didn’t find out until he went to get his summer tires put on. It didn’t leak, but the place charged him some $ because it was a pain to remove and replace.

I’m also a huge fan of, “I don’t understand enough to refute you, so you must be arguing in bad faith.”

Much less when you live in a cold climate, or they get corroded from road salt.

Another factually incorrect statement.

I have a 2019, which I stated multiple times.

Not all cars come with them. Maybe it’s law where you live, but not where I live.

If you don’t think calling me stupid is an insult then I have “assessed your intellectual capabilities” and decided you’re actually a moron.

The I’m rubber and you’re glue argument. Good job. You really showed me. Do you need a pat on the head?

I didn’t say it was free. I said it was included and not a choice you have to make. Someone who’s not a moron would have understood that.

It wasn’t included in my car. It was not even offered on my car. The fact that you are 100% convinced of something that is just not true and keep arguing that it is, is what makes me think you’re not very smart.

LOL what? Who told you that!?

Fuck me. You really are dense. You know the batteries don’t last forever.

It monitors your tire pressure. That’s important for safety, as I’ve outlined several times now.

Just because you say something more than once, doesn’t make you right. You asserted something, I provided statistical evidence from GIDAS proving you wrong, and you just “nuh-uhed” and repeated the same point. It’s effect on safety is statistically insignificant.

Or both

They didn’t come with my car. My car does not have a TPMS sensor. Your “every car comes with them” statement is blatantly false.

And, I am not insulting you, if anything I am sad for you. I made what I believe is an honest assessment of your intellectual capabilities based on your lack of understanding with how parts inside an automobile are priced and the nonsensical responses you have given to cogent points.

It doesn’t matter if it’s mandated for inclusion where you live, that doesn’t mean it’s free. You are paying for it. In fact, you are paying for sensors to be replaced multiple times over the life of the vehicle, another thing which most people won’t do. So, every 3 to 8 years (depending on various factors), you have to replace the TPMS sensors, pay another $300 to $500 for something which does sweet fuck all for your safety.

GIDAS data

https://www.ircobi.org/wordpress/downloads/irc0111/2009/Session2/2_3.pdf

It concludes that even if you increased grip, which includes tire pressure variance, by 15%, it would only represent a reduction of 2% of road related fatalities, which is actually within the margin of error.

While 2% sounds like a lot, GIDAS also shows that tire failures account for less than 1% of road accidents causing death.

So you’re spending $300 to $500 on a new car for a TPMS which reduces the probability of accidental death by 0.02%.

And fun fact, most tire related accidents are actually from tread depth, not low pressure, and TPMS will do fuck all to tell you your tread depth is low.

Because I am not a complete fucking idiot.

If you truly believe that nonsense you are spewing, your probably shouldn’t be driving. You are unaware of the operational aspects of your vehicle and are a danger to the people around you.

That’s what I was going to say.

Trump pretty much declared imperialist conquest.

You clearly need a TPMS if you aren’t smart enough to detect when your car pulls to one side, drags, or makes a loud FWAPFWAPFWAP sound.

What a shockingly wrong take. TPMS is a convenience, not a safety measure, have properly inflated tires is. And, anyone who properly maintains their car, doesn’t need it

And, it’s not legally mandated everywhere, even if it is for you.

I managed to drive cars for 30 years without a TPMS sensor and the only time I ever had a to check the pressure on a tire, was when I knew i had a leak and didn’t have time to fix it. I can also tell by the way my car drives if a tire is soft. I also had an air pump in my car powered by a cigarette lighter adapter that I could fill my tires.

My current car, from 2019 doesn’t have one. I’ve managed to own it 7 years (this week) without needing to check the pressure 2500 times.

The assertion you need to check your pressure everyday without a TPMS system is ridiculous.

Not to mention the utter American arrogance of stating that because the US doesn’t like something, the rest of us will blindly follow along.

Maple syrup, or honey

By not making it an imperialist conquest by a dying empire. It helps by not dragging Cuba down. It helps by letting Cuba dictate it’s own fate, and not by a bunch of feudalist technocrats. It helps by not having to have Cubans eat the psychic damage caused by become complicit with an evil regime that’s ok with committing genocide if it makes a rich asshole slightly richer. It helps by not having it be ruled by a narcissistic psychopathic pudding brained man-baby, who believes he is the smartest person in the world, but is so incompetent at everything, he could fuck up a cheese sandwich.

Jesus fuck… why would anyone want to join that shithole.
