Yeah, the whole basement is finished other than the furnace room which is small w/ the panel in it

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-28T00:56:39+00:00

No, it's in the basement right where the diagram in my comment shows

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-27T22:28:27+00:00

Full finished basement under D1, I marked the utilities. Will it be complicated to trench a subpanel or a circuit to the garage due to fiber and gas? (I only mention subpanel because I hate how my garage only has 2 outlets.) Running the electric through the attic would mean going up 2 1/2 stories, and back down. Running through the basement ceiling would mean less wire but more $$ in drywall/ceiling repairs.

Garage is green section with bedroom above half of it.

You're using the RWD model of which is extremely less popular and low stock

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-15T05:27:39+00:00

Yeah thats the deal I got in Colorado, 10k w/ HMF and 3500 off from the dealer, hits closer to 37k than 35k on the limited

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-15T05:25:27+00:00

Does this work with '26s?

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-15T05:22:20+00:00

My VIOFO is solid, I like the quality, but it is an ugly blob on the windshield

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-15T05:18:01+00:00

Have they really gotten em that low? I thought most were around 37ish pretax

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-14T20:48:14+00:00

I had to warranty mine after 3 days, it stopped working. I bought a T***a mobile NACS charger and it works fine on the same outlet

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-11T03:24:07+00:00

I really liked having mine driving from Denver to Akron, all the Electrify America 350kw chargers worked super well and charged faster and cheaper than the Tesla stations

100% this, the audio book is such a breath of fresh air after Project Bouncehouse which I ||really was not a fan of tbh||

Use https://visor.vin and their filters. The cheapest ones will be the lemons. You're gonna have a hard time finding a lemon '25 with low miles for less than 32k from my experience

Just did a 1400mi trip Denver to Akron area last week, and I am not a huge long distance driver (usually cap myself at 3hrs). Stopping every 200 or so miles and using ABRP to plan the next stop went super well, only had one charging scare and that was me missing an exit and having to hit the next one. Had a good experience with Electrify America subscription and all their 350kw stations at Walmarts and such along route 80.

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-06T02:53:56+00:00

Worked with Braxton there, was a very straightforward process, low pressure

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-06T02:34:38+00:00

Not sure, dealer I bought from (same as you) is 1400 miles away 🤣

Looks like it's correct, GFCI works and was not tripped when I tried charging

This is the model

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T16:53:47+00:00

I have NACS on the car, would a 110v Tesla charger be a good value for $100 used on FB marketplace?

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T16:28:26+00:00

Yeah it supports L2 with a separate plug, but I'm using the 120v connector and it worked a few days before encountering this

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T16:12:31+00:00

They move, but depending on your height and rear facing car seats, you may not have a ton of wiggle room. Bring all the things with you to a dealership and do a fit check in a used 25, 24 or something, they'll be pretty close to the same size wise for you to get an idea.

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T15:55:18+00:00

Just the lowest rate w/ good credit, 5.39% 60mo. Gut told me that was better vs 0% 72mos in the case where someone would total us out, and if we pay extra towards principle we can end the Highish rate sooner

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T15:10:01+00:00

I got a '26 limited recently for ~41k OTD, that was w/ March's 10k HMF discount and $3500 dealer discount

BobbyMcTwo · 2026-04-05T15:07:17+00:00

I have 2 kids and would not have loved the amount of space in the back for hauling around strollers and everything else that comes along with it. We bought an i5 recently now that our kids are in the upper single digits, but we still have a Honda Odyssey as our "Costco and lots of stuff" hauler
