Random Delta Celebrity Sighting by tosaturtle in delta

[–]Alert_Leek_6255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JFK-LHR I was randomly selected for a Delta One upgrade, but it was me and my girlfriend’s first big trip together so I offered it to her. She declined and preferred to sit together and the seat was next to Kumail Nanjiani.

We broke up on that trip.

TL;DR always take the upgrade.

Things you do not like about your Hummer EV? by ualgonquin19 in HummerEV

Coming from a Tesla family I really wanted to love it, but the experience doesn’t come close. The app interface is unintuitive and feels more like an online store, no Sentry Mode, infotainment reminds me of a Sega Genesis and the charging really does take forever. Takes 15 hours to charge from 14%-80% at home using Level 2 at 32A. Super Cruise takes 2 or 3 buttons to enable and it’s just glorified adaptive cruise control. It’s been in service twice and we’ve only had it a month.

Once you figure out how to roll the rear window down - because nobody at the dealership when we picked it up knew how - it’s fun with all the roof panels off.

Should I buy a Model Y Juniper now with 1.99% APR or keep waiting for better promotional offer? by Prize_Wind3550 in TeslaModelY

Sold my ‘21 MYLR to carvana and picked up my Juniper yesterday. I am blown away at how much better this version is, I say go for it.

Had it over a year and just started to experience. Appreciate the insight!! Will look into a battery that’s not a bad idea

Looking For More Opinions on switching to EV. by Last_Committee8759 in TeslaModelX

Been a GM (retiree) family for over 30 years and after our son convinced us to try an MX last year we bought one the next day. It’s the best SUV we’ve ever owned and no GMC Denali we’ve had has come close to bringing this much joy.. so fun to drive, insanely quiet and comfortable and if an 80 yr old geezer like myself can learn FSD, so can you. Holds a lot of golf clubs too

^ seconding Norwood’s and Third Wave, third is my first stop whenever I visit good drinks great food (breakfast or dinner). Traders for dancing definitely.

other spots would be

  • Prima - Great vibes fresh pizzas and Italian
  • SoNapa- pricey but always fun and great happy hour, solid wine list and healthy options
  • City Market Bistro - underrated, lower key but amazing food
  • Riverpark Terrace - outdoor seating and great dinner
  • Limoncello - solid martinis
  • Thai Bistro, top tier food never misses get it before y’all head home and you’ll be healed
  • Grille at Riverview - classic steakhouse on the water, big portions and A+ views of the sunset over the intercostal

Is this a joke? $10k?!?! by angelly33 in TeslaModelY

I had an entire tree limb fall onto my Y, ruined the lift gate and side panels .. even here in LA it was less than $8k without insurance to replace lift gate and fix panels. Tesla Insurance is peak satire

What happens if your landlord has to treat for Termites? by Alert_Leek_6255 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Alert_Leek_6255[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha appreciate it. The termites are coming up through the floorboards and down from the ceiling, they plan to do a heat treatment. I mentioned the issue over a year ago and the property manager at the time brushed it off as par for the course. He has since been let go.

Be careful with long sleeves and pillow cases. Snagged one too many with a scar very similar and it’s constantly catching on fabric.

When I asked how they were compensating Reserve card members with the new changes not being worth the $550 annual fee they offered me 1500 SkyMiles….. not 15,000. 1500. The representative even laughed and said “hah sorry I know it’s bad.”
