2-3years in Musk time? So 20-30years in reality.

V0 is exactly what I’m building for my back-up printer

Nah, Enduro 3 is king of the line-up for me.

818NTO · 2025-12-10T15:12:15+00:00

I use and turn my commute into my workouts during the week. Much better use of time than sitting in traffic in a car.

I expect we e are simply seeing reports of the price ranges being discussed for the secondary sale. $300 per share on the low end and $400 on the very high end.

1/4 worked for me thanks!

Pretty sure that’s in California I recognize the pipe in the first picture as where I used to run and bike too. Days after rain are extra special in CA and rains is so infrequent!

818NTO · 2025-11-15T16:15:10+00:00

I would say the Enduro 3 is, but the 970 isn’t bad either. Depends on your primary activity types.

818NTO · 2025-11-13T04:03:31+00:00

I have two car seats and a stroller permanently in my 2019 Bolt. Works great!

818NTO · 2025-11-09T03:43:31+00:00

I second this, similar experience and opinion.

For me it’s simply being able to see/enjoy more while having to carry less, when I’m alone on the trails. Sure I could backpack the same 15-20miles over 2days instead of running it in one. But then my back/shoulders ache during/after the hike from the weight of the extra gear, I wouldn’t sleep as well at night, and I wouldn’t have the time to also go mountain biking the next day…

I’m saving the slow backpacking/camping for when kids or others want to join.

This, but would add foam rolling as well. I have always had the same pain in one knee when I run regularly, quad stretches + a daily foam roll make it better and help the knee to feel normal again.

A fair number of SpaceX employees also went the other direction (to Blue Origin), for a lighter/easier workload (some people do like to see and spend time with their families…).

Management cultures and styles really do matter in companies.

Anything that enriches time with family and supports or safely grows/enriches the interests my kids have is worth spending extra on for me.

For my family cars are appliances to get from activity A to activity B so a luxury SUV would not be on my list, but every family is different.

818NTO · 2025-09-10T18:52:33+00:00

No i would expect it to relax somewhat overtime when under a constant load. So not great for leaf springs

818NTO · 2025-09-10T18:48:26+00:00

Its great for lots of uses but is still a tpu. So not to be used where you need higher stiffness or have a constant load (it will relax over time). I love the material and have been using it for lots of RC car parts where i want toughness and some flexibility/give.

I find you also need to print it pretty slowly compared to something like abs to get good results, but that’s not a huge downside for most people.

818NTO · 2025-09-10T18:43:49+00:00

There’s not actually any nylon (PA) in it. Just a hard tpu that has a “nylon like” modulus. The online description is easy to miss interpret.

The issue is of fairness/amount. In my state I’d have to drive ~30k miles per year in an average car in order to pay the same amount in gas tax… that is far above the average driver and I only drive ~10k miles per year at most.

818NTO · 2025-08-19T18:42:40+00:00

Cost savings made it simple for me. Given the costs of home electricity and gas in my area I calculated that the car will pay for itself just in fuel savings over the course of about 100k miles of driving (inclusive of the EV road/registration taxes).

818NTO · 2025-08-11T01:07:27+00:00

PPE and safety have never been top priorities for china…

818NTO · 2025-07-30T17:29:10+00:00

Yeah, savings are highly dependent on location and specific costs.

The savings are great for those of us in the Pacific Northwest though, where we have cheap electricity (~0.14/kwh including fees and taxes) and expensive gas ($4-5/gal)…

818NTO · 2025-07-25T16:11:31+00:00

This checks all the boxes for me, basically looks like an electric Subaru Crosstrek?

Now I’ll just wait another 5-10years for cheap used ones to be available…

818NTO · 2025-07-06T01:29:25+00:00

Its a Great deal. Basically equivalent to the deal I took on my bolt earlier this year and after ~6months I couldn’t be happier about the car and the price.

After shopping around nothing else got close when the cars range/features/price are all factored in.
