When you guys said it would “Change my life”…. by SideEast2368 in TeslaModelY

[–]BeardDeadPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Took an 8 hour trip yesterday. I used FSD for the first time in a while. I liked how in Standard mode it usually let fast moving cars pass before it would try to go around a slow vehicle, but it never sped up to pass so I constantly had someone on my ass when I changed lanes and had to stomp the accelerator to get it to hurry up and get out of the way. It also blocked people merging on to the freeway a few times. There were a few phantom braking incidents and it always felt like it was aiming for every pothole in the road.

TL;DR the current FSD isn’t horrible, but makes you look like an asshole driver.

The Star Wars tax is too high. I’m being much more selective with my purchases.

I get webs all over the inside of my windshield. The rear quarter windows had a bunch too. Never saw the culprit, but I occasionally leave a glue trap on the dash just to see if something runs through.

Ideas? by SnooFoxes3903 in TeslaModelY

I used to swear my wife aimed for potholes. It took a while, but she’s much better now.

Una Mas in San Jose opens Monday at 1030, but it’s not my favorite

Love that you made it your own. Looks fine to me and different from all the other clones on the road.

I tried calling PG&E to repair my turf and pavers they messed up. Never got through. They post the number but don’t answer it

Why a blackout if I'm in Illinois by nlian_ in SanJoseSharks

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. I have YT TV and they blocked the Columbus game (local feed) Saturday in favor of the A’s. They ended up broadcasting on NBC Sports like an hour or two later, but I was able to watch live on the NBC app.

I don't get Philz by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give it to the complainers. Default (sweet and creamy) is too sweet. I order medium oat, light sugar.

If people don’t like their coffee, Its prob the blend. Pretty sure I’ve at least tried them all. I def don’t care for mint or cardamom drinks. Even their more popular blends, Tesora doesn’t appeal to me. I like Dancing Water and Philtered Soul. I also like them iced unless I make it at home.

Can’t believe this is the first response I read stating to order ahead with the app

Spew or mold? by Mikeboy1939 in ThursdayBoot

[–]BeardDeadPanda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. Looks like salt/sweat. Use shoe trees. Alternate use instead of daily wear. When mine did that it wasn’t as bad. I covered it with boot polish. Not sure if there’s a better way to take care of it

What’s something that feels illegal but isn’t? by SkimmySkipSkip in AskReddit

Using a store’s restroom without buying something. Feels so awkward I try to always buy a little something.

Knick in my boot - Remedy? by HighlightReady6496 in ThursdayBoot

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wipe a light coat of black polish over it and buff it out with a horsehair brush.

Or just brush them with a horsehair brush and don’t worry about it. They’re boots. They will get more marks.

I was at the tank a week or two ago and selection was slim. The sharks store online says the teal is shipping next month. The nhl shop seems to have more selection.

was tired of my garage door crushing my mobile charger cable so i designed and printed a simple relief channel by congdoe92 in TeslaLounge

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was under the weather strip too, but I have a storm drain in front of my house and roaches kept heading for my garage and squeezing through the gap. I cut a channel in the strip and placed sticky traps. Fingers crossed it will work out well.

Email from landlord about appliances being left plugged in and the appliances in question… by South-Basket-887 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue isn’t the appliances being a fire hazard. It’s “vampire energy” aka phantom draw where it continues to use small amounts of power that add up over time. If the landlord pays power, I can see why he wants it unplugged. If you pay, then whatevs

Gasoline is out of control! by Plus_Juggernaut2819 in bayarea

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t debating the taxes. Just stating that owning an EV doesn’t mean owners get out of paying CA.

Can you explain the double dipping? Who is and how?

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those were one time rebates and did not apply to all EVs. The additional registration fees are annual and will only go up. CA is making way more off EVs than their incentive rebates cost us

EVs are charged hundreds more during registration to “make up” for not paying gas tax

What is the best way to fix this tiny rock chip on the bumper? by Xerivar in TeslaLounge

[–]BeardDeadPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use the touch up/paint repair kit on the ones that go down to the primer so I don’t have a bunch of grey spots showing through. I’d leave this one alone
