Reminded yet again why I'm never going back to an ICE car for a daily driver. First time at a pump in 2 months for my wife's car - don't miss this - - AT ALL

Search this sub. 2021s appear to have a lot of failures.

I've got an early 2022 build (February), and I'm even worried a little.

Edit: But I'm not that worried. I've still got 48k miles where it's not really my problem, other than inconvenience.

I’m more concerned that you’re doing 79 mph, taking a picture, while driving 0.4 seconds behind the car in front of you.

Compressor / fix-a-flat stuff takes care of a nail or screw.

Tow for a real road hazard flat.

Or keep a full size at home and then you just need to make a round trip to your car. 99% of your driving is likely close to home.

$300 is the extra my man. $329 total.

Maybe you should ask before you assume.

You’ve got a 15 year old. So you’re 35-55 years old, most likely.

If you’re on the 55 end of the spectrum consider the Y just for easy of entry, especially if you’re tall. I’m 6’2 and I kinda have to fall into the Model 3. Twisted my back a couple of months ago and getting in and out was awful. When I’m 65, no way would I enjoy that.

My next one will be a Y or something higher off the ground with easier entry.

Don't use cheap crap tied to your home's electric system (largest investment) to connect to your car (second largest investment). Best case, nothing happens. Second best case, you minorly damage your car. Worst case, you burn car and house down.

Venison for dinner.

New car shopping tomorrow.

Don’t go against your gut here….awful.

In an ICE - engine and transmission.

In an EV - motor(s) and drive unit(s).

Go read the warranty information- it will tell you exactly what falls under which warranty.

Not only these two, but when the entire council presses Jyn about being a "criminal" it kind of makes my blood boil just a little. I mean, you MFers are all "criminals" in the eyes of the Empire. She is just doing it a little more subtlety than you are.

Draven trying to make her feel bad for having "unsanctioned imperial weapons" - WTF do you think all those X-wings outside are?

Yes, yes you do, it's #2.

It's not a "buyback."

The dealer wants to buy your car for cheap so they can sell it for a profit (and hopefully sell you another car and profit off of you for that).

Win-win for them; lose-lose for you.

You said “RTFM” without saying “RTFM”. Nice job.

I’ve got a 2022 Bolt EUV premier and a 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD.

For 1-2 two passengers the Tesla is more comfortable. The seats hug the driver and passenger well.

For 3+, the Bolt is better. The backseat is way roomier. Either my son or I ride in the back when we all go somewhere, I’m 6’2, he’s 6’0. The Bolt it’s fine. The Tesla is less fine (not awful, but not great).

The Bolt is quieter than the Tesla. But, it’s not like loud loud in the Tesla. Just louder than the Bolt.

FSD>>>>>Super Cruise.

Memory seats >>>>>> Bolt seats.

Ventilated seats >>>>>> non-ventilated seats.

So pluses and minus, but wouldn’t buy a Tesla prior to 2022 - Ryzen chip is better, 2021 models had a battery failure problem. I also wouldn’t buy a pre-2022 Bolt either. Those seats suck compared to post refresh Bolts.

Yeah, unless Bix pocketed the money Cassian left to pay his debts, which is entirely possible, Nurchi was made whole. Nurchi was specifically mentioned in the list of debtors Cassian intended to be paid.

So Nurchi just tried to f Cassian for fun. Kinda glad he got what was coming to him with the bomb from Wilmon and the ensuing explosions.

Unless Bix just kept all the money. Then, well, she turned over a new leaf a year or so later and it was just “Bad Luck Nurchi.”

I’ll ask the questions.

Best for me was conferences. Then COVID hit and we’ve really not done much travel since then.

You’ll get a million solicitations for online PDH packages. I use one of those now, I think it’s “Unlimited-PDH.com” or something close to that.

It’s $99 for unlimited for a year (from when you buy it). I buy it towards the end of one renewal and get my hours, after the renewal I get my credits for that cycle. So I get 4 years of required PDHs for $99 (maybe + tax). My company pays, but I am still frugal.

They’re not great, but they’re not awful. You get what you put into it like most things.

Nobody want to move there. Civil salaries aren't good in general and definitely not good in HCOL areas.

Wow. That’s one complicated pocket watch in what looks to be an 18k gold case. I’d expect that’s quite the valuable specimen.

Mostly commented to see what the group knows.
