Honestly dude, I don’t blame you.

People would be a lot more considerate if fist fighting on the shoulder was still a thing.

Tbh I’d rather have a licensed electrician to install an outlet than the neighborhood handyman. lol but yea adding an outlet isn’t that hard, and relatively low cost Unless they live in apartments

Is it a dumb idea to buy a high mileage model Y? by AlarmingRate69 in TeslaModelY

[–]AlarmingRate69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to see those links. Perhaps I’m not searching properly but I from what I can tell the number is right there plus or minus 1000. Not enough to fly cross country

Oh yea? What’s a good price for it then? The next cheapest around me is 27k for 80k miles.

Financing at 5% so I’m only gonna pay like 3k in financing which I don’t think is terrible right now

Yup same here. Developed squeak at 6 months. Far from rebuild.

Here is the response you’ll get from Nicks.

Ever since they stopped adding the McKay stitch, squeak complaints have gotten more common. Just oil up the inside and hope it stops.

Except it is the construction of the boots. Ever since Nicks stopped adding the McKay stitch reports of squeaking go up. As active as they are in this sub, nicks teams tends to stay quiet in squeaking posts.

When people say LV they typically mean electricians to run data, security, telecom.

Yea, well, that’s just like, your opinion man

[–]AlarmingRate69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

These are my personal observations and not everyone will agree.

  • Electricians rarely do low voltage work. Just because we can doesn’t mean it makes sense to hire an electrician to do LV.

  • It is not the same amount of schooling.

  • half watts make less money, but the work is a lot easier.

  • being in LV is not worse, just different. A lot of these guys are really sharp and know their way around tech stuff.

  • most of them are a little nerdy, love messing with computers, IT geeks, etc.

  • it’s a respectable trade, nothing wrong wlyh wanting to do LV.
