My panels are from Taiwan our ally, I got them wholesale by the pallet delivered directly.they are 25 year panels with a hail rating.they are also cadmium free and mercury free they use silver solder joints not as cheap as chicom panels but I harvest the rain from under them into cistern. It gets checked once a year with geochem so far the only compounds are from the asphalt shingles under them, metals are under ppm levels. They were installed with subcontractors from a friends roofing company who was doing my rooftop for hail damages at the time anyway so the labor was just an add on. My cousin is an electrician I paid him to legally do the grid tie breaker and panels. The inverters also are Taiwan they have a 15 year warranty.So no slave labor, heavy metals or chicom support exactly the opposite they helped support a free Taiwan and F the chicoms.

As for tires the Volvo and the Model 3 are within one inch of each other in foot print size(length x width) the Volvo is also 200lbs heavier at curb weight it’s a T5 AWD. They both have 18” wheels and both ride on identical P4 Pirelli tires I bought 8 of them so I know they are identical. Given that the Volvo is 200# heavier it will wear them out faster than Tesla. All that engine ,transmissions and 4 wheel drive hardware is heavy vs the light weight RWD motor of the Tesla. Yea the pack has mass bit in the end the Volvo is heavier. Also the.Volvo eats brake pads the Tesla uses regenerative braking and has never needed pads and won’t it almost never goes into mechanical braking you can feel when it does if you really smash the brake pedal. So yeah I fully expect the tires on the Tesla to go more miles before they wear out.
