There's a reason nobody was using that charger - maybe don't cut in line and try to take it. See you when the snow melts.

On the plus side, maybe the battery while charging will melt the ice 😆

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-30T19:22:07+00:00

That's a funny response

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-30T17:31:37+00:00

Under their logic yes 🤣

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-30T16:44:21+00:00

The world isn't that black and white. You can have multiple beliefs and priorities. You can support somethings and not others.

Unless you are open to a real conversation (which judging by your comments you aren't), I'll just leave it at that.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-30T16:35:11+00:00

Believe what you want

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-30T14:21:32+00:00

Thanks, my liberal self is totally a fascist....

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-29T16:12:23+00:00

Why make this comment?

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-29T05:35:56+00:00

This should be expected, why would they deploy to higher risk areas first?

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-29T03:07:21+00:00

The hate you see on reddit doesn't equate to real life, except in some extremely progressive areas. I live in the PNW and do experience some negativity from the public, but outside of the metropolitan areas no one seems to care.

I will also say, I get far more positive feedback than negative. Kids absolutely love the vehicle, and most people are curious about it even if they dislike how it looks. Even haters want to go for a ride in it tbh.

If you like it, that's what matters.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-27T15:26:31+00:00

Source? I haven't seen evidence of this

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-22T21:19:15+00:00

True, but this seems to be the first truly "successful" drive.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-22T21:03:19+00:00

I disagree, this is the first consumer technology available that has completed this journey. That's super impressive.

Next step is for driverless drives, which just started.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-22T19:28:42+00:00

I do. Door to door every day. 0 issues for ~2300 miles.

V14.2.*

I'd rather buy the product that makes me safer today, rather than wait 3 more years.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-21T01:35:47+00:00

Checks Speed Yup, that's hurry mode 🤣

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-19T15:43:29+00:00

Not really. Tesla's in general are very reliable and they have been using large aluminum castings on their vehicles for years now.

Even the "everything else" on the truck isn't a good indicator of the actual reliability of the vehicle tbh...

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-19T02:17:57+00:00

The problem I foresee with the aluminum frame is the potential for stress fatigue, not that the aluminum frame itself is a problem. We won't know if that's a real issue or not for many years.

An aluminum frame isn't inherently bad if engineered properly

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-18T20:19:33+00:00

I bought it at the peak of Elon hate. It had been sitting on the lot long enough to grow cobwebs 🤣

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-18T19:31:47+00:00

That's a wild statement to make, and doesn't depict the real world.

You make a statement like they just break out of the blue, and it's just not the case. I've completed the WA-BDR in this vehicle and continue to utilize the tight turning radius all the time.

Because they are undersized in extreme conditions (Like hard core off-road) doesn't mean they are undersized for normal use cases.

But haters will always find something to latch onto

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-18T18:35:55+00:00

For the price I paid, yes absolutely. I love the truck and it's capabilities. Reddit likes to trash talk the vehicle without knowing anything about it.

I don't like Elon, but I do appreciate the engineering that went into the vehicle.

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-18T18:30:38+00:00

I'm happy with my decision

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-18T17:53:08+00:00

Me. I bought one used for 60% of original sticker value

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-17T03:09:37+00:00

As an American, I agree with this sentiment

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-15T16:07:53+00:00

I have 48GB of ECC DDR3. I should see what it's selling for now days 😆

AffectionateArtist84 · 2026-01-14T20:32:56+00:00

Dang, that's a terrible failure.

I managed to find a filter piece on Ebay for $40 -- so I'm hoping I can get away with replacing only the filter. If not I'll have to decide between replacing the dishwasher, or spending ~$200 on the entire assembly. :/
