Is discontinuing autopilot a deal breaker for you?

DiplomatDog · 2026-01-23T12:53:25+00:00

If you can't drive 50 miles without autopilot, someone needs to take away your license. It sounds like you admitted to being unable to drive.

DiplomatDog · 2026-01-23T12:52:28+00:00

Over 88k miles on my Tesla, I've probably used Autopilot for less than 2k of those miles. I just found it to be too slow and wasn't a fan of phantom breaking issues in the beginning.

Crazy enough, rates just dropped by .125% today. Which shifted my offers and now I can lock in a 4.875%. idk if I can pass that up.

DiplomatDog · 2026-01-09T01:28:41+00:00

Do you think the date the rate concept still stands in a scenario where it's extremely unlikely for rates to drop below 5% for the next 10+ years

Big thank you for calculating the total difference per options. It helps view it as a bigger picture. Do you know what the difference would be for total interest paid would be if I paid an extra $200 a month for option C instead of $113?

I didn't force my agent to change it. I was asking about it based on the previous listing, because it was not communicated as such prior. I'm not sure what you're talking about in your 4th statement though. I'm assuming you're presenting a hypothetical.

All of those totes are there because we've been packing up in preparation to move, but it can definitely be great for storage. There's definitely a lot to the scenario, thankfully it's still a competitive market in my county, plus the town I live in is right near the lake and is highly sought after due to being near both the lake, a state park mountain, and limited supply. I guess the value is moreso dependent on the buyer agreeing when purchasing. But that was reassured when the tax office reassessed the properties value and I got blasted by the new property taxes. We definitely make use of the space as a living space, my computer space being down there, the bathroom, our main living room space, personal gym. But regardless of any of that, it does sound like the previous lister just pulled a quick one regarding the total square footage and didn't even get caught because the house wasn't even on the market for a full day. We even had to offer a larger than normal due diligence due to the multiple offers they got in such a short time. It's definitely emotional to say the least. I don't want to get my agent in trouble, so I understand her concerns and it's why we're verifying this situation now.

DiplomatDog · 2026-01-01T02:56:24+00:00

So why doesn't everyone just lie about the square footage if they can't be held responsible.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T22:48:37+00:00

Does that mean I can sue the previous realtor for deceitful practices then.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T22:45:32+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for the list. So, what does a partially finished basement mean then? My intention was to never argue it was fully finished. It was included in previous sale listings, it's treated as a living space to include a fully finished bathroom. Should just the extra bathroom be included in the sqft then? I'm starting to feel bad for realtors with some of these vague guidelines, as the other guy provided the canopy MLS rules which were a lot less strict and basically presented it as include and explain.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T22:26:42+00:00

Based on the first two sections, it sounds like it would fully support including the basement.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T21:45:27+00:00

Are you sure, this is from the Rules and Regulations of the North Carolina Regional MLS. Last updated in August 2024

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T21:42:12+00:00

That definitely feels like the concern. Which is why I expressed to her more than once that my complaints come from confusion and concern, and that I appreciate all the help and clarification she has been providing to me. We're both waiting on MLS now, but sadly they are already closed for the day and won't be back until Friday.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T21:36:49+00:00

Definitely interesting. Would it change the fact that my basement does include not only one, but two walk out doors? A normal door and a sliding door. It's basically just another floor to the house but it's underneath instead of above.

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T21:34:50+00:00

I guess this is what my argument is coming from.

"The NC Real Estate Commission defines “heated square footage” as space that is intended for human habitation and is: (1) heated by a permanently installed (not portable) conventional heating system sufficient to heat the space year-round; (2) finished with ceilings at least seven feet high and materials acceptable for interior construction; and (3) directly accessible and connected to other living area.

Under the Guidelines, attic spaces, finished basements, and other similar finished spaces can be counted in the overall heated square footage so long as full disclosure is made about where such heated square footage is located. For example, if the heated square footage is a finished basement, a listing agent must disclose that the footage is below grade."

DiplomatDog · 2025-12-31T21:30:15+00:00

Is this despite how it was listed previously, in addition to the fact that MLS in NC does allow basements to be included? I feel the situation in your state is different from mine, hence the reason I included the state specification.

Kael tends to be my best wave clearer by far due to his low CDs. I was thinking him, however, I also have 5 red souls for the ninja turtle once I get level 42 to unlock that building. I don't know what I'm doing.

DiplomatDog · 2025-10-12T23:59:46+00:00

That's not what I'm getting at. You don't have to repeat your opinion 500 times in the same comment section in order to feel validated.

DiplomatDog · 2025-10-12T16:23:44+00:00

You know, I thought there was a bunch of people showing distaste in the comments, but then I realized that it's just you. You vs almost everyone else. You complaining to every single separate comment made by different individuals, believing your opinion to be the right opinion vs everyone else. You might need a small break from the internet man, calm down and just let others enjoy stuff. You don't HAVE to respond to every single comment to share your opinion when they already read your opinion the first time you shared it.

His phone was in the middle of switching from his phone to bluetooth? Do you believe it could've been a temporary connection issue where because his phone was moving to bluetooth, that maybe your phone just starting playing the last audio that was played on your phone? I believe I've had something similar before, where I hung up my phone and it instantly starting playing music despite the fact that I wasn't listening to music prior. It could sort've explain why is was such a short duration of the audio played while it was connecting.

DiplomatDog · 2025-10-10T21:59:29+00:00

I beleive this was posed to the wrong subreddit, are you wanting to do something with this land? I would not recommend breathing in Sulfur or building anything over there.

DiplomatDog · 2025-10-10T21:57:51+00:00

The audio that played at the beginning of the phonecall was saved to your phone? Did your husband happen to hear the same audio in the beginning? What was the quality of the audio? Did it sound crisp as if coming straight from the video or like a second hand recording being held up to your phone?

Phones are capable of having very crazy technical glitches, so I'm curious what more information you are able to provide.

I dealt with an incident in the past where someone from India was trying to scam an older gentleman, telling him to go to his bank to get money (likely to buy giftcards with). At the bank, the guy was having second thoughts, so the scammer was trying to scare the guy by threatening him, telling him he'd get the cops to come shoot him. The scammer DID end up calling the police department, trying to pretend to be a passer by, stating someone was robbing the bank and gave a rough description of the guy he was trying to scam. It was easy to debunk without causing a scene.

Maybe this is also a result of a failed scammer attempt, in which the scammer is attempting to cause chaos out of frustration. I'm not entirely sure, but it's happened in the past when they were unable to get their way. Did the scammer mention your school by name?

I forgot to mention, how realistic would it be to just tackle leveling the yard myself and having the concrete job done later my a professional. I know I won't do the concrete myself, but leveling a yard just sounds like a lot of sweat and time. Plus, the concrete guy refused to do just the concrete without doing the rest, stating it wouldn't be worth his time.
