Two, a "very late" model would mean a older car. He didn't say the "very latest" model. Huge difference in the meaning.

Vindicated as above.

Extra cost? They are a standard option and have been for the last four or five years.
|
Just because something is standard doesn't mean there's no extra cost, simply that the extra cost is built into the base price. Otherwise, they'd be giving away cars for free - After all, wouldn't the frame, engine, and other basic elements, all standard, simply be a sum of 'no additional cost's?

And I didn't know a small micro chip would cost that much more in gas.

I assumed there was some sort of physical apparatus needed. Not necessarily huge - I was going to guess not more than 2 lbs. But even if it's only a few extra transistors, some wire and a lightbulb (or LED), there's still some small additional cost in gas.

You been wrong from the beginning, give up now.

I can't be wrong, as I have no absolute position. I consider the automated tire pressure warnings to be a waste of money, but I don't take that opinion as some absolute that others must agree to. Unless you mean the 'late model' thing, in which case I'm quite right. Or unless you mean my implied position that mandating TPMS on cars is a bad idea by most standards, in which case I stand by that and await some evidence that it's wrong, other than just your personal pronouncement.
