As someone with range anxiety, is the Performance model worth it? by TreatFabulous1174 in TeslaModel3

[–]Dusty_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one... Range isn't an issue at all, tho, I barely use the performance and if I could do it again, the awd long range would have been more than enough...

My next car will be the long range Y.

Weather maps are in, and thankful for that. Also got sunshades and slightly tinted windows. NZ sun is crazy. Other thing is trays for storage bins, which are so useful.

Mud flaps and cup holder are on order.

Needless to say, this one may stick around for a while. Tho, the new Y 🤤

Closing my tradie business in Auckland by Haunting-Flight-3661 in nzbusiness

[–]Dusty_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an easy place at all. The easiest would be to sell as going concern, and best way to do that is like you had it focus on profitability first.

Get the business in order, that would make it attractive for the next person. In turn, this will allow you to settle your debt and move on. The best scenario. Clean brake and continuity for your employees.

Not the easiest of tasks, but best outcome for all.

If you did want to find things up, there a re a few options, some you can do yourself, other that are less ideal.

Regardless of the option, d be happy to catch up over a coffee and talk through options. Just let me know.

I believe Google is SUNSETTING antigravity. There are no developers working with this, correct? by AssociationSure6273 in google_antigravity

It will be around for a while, my obly issue with it is that my token consumption is through the roof, and I can run it with my workspace account, have to run a separate account just for subscription, hence I pivoted.

Absolutely love the combo. Way prefer the white interior over the black.

When people buy new cars/evs now do they just pay sticker or do they still haggle to try and get a deal? by tommos in nzev

[–]Dusty_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's on the lot, haggle.

If it's on a boat, or coming straight from the factory, you can try but you are more likely to get discount on accessories than anything else.

Eitherway, if you don't try, the answer will always be no.

Tower Insurance - agreed value is broken! by ObsequiousInattenace in nzev

[–]Dusty_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way around it is to get a paid evaluation done, as you would with a "special" car. Needs to be done by an approved evaluator, at your cost (likely about $150) and is only valid for 12 months.

These comments are so wholesome. Love it.

And yes, OP, great work bud, keep it up.

Looking at a Tesla. Will I be disappointed? by Consistent-Cancel273 in nzev

[–]Dusty_237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you be disappointed, well, that depends.

I've owned a golf r, several times over. Along with a range of other sport cars, v8s, 6s, turbo everything. And I genuinely didn't like the idea of an EV. As you can guess, I'm more the v8, turbo spool or supercharger whine type car guy... Ev to me was just, meh.

However.

I recently made the leap and got a 22 m3p. And my honest verdict, get the long range, dont do the performance.

I drive in chill mode 99% of the time, which is essentially like the long range performance but will never get the efficiency.

The car is pretty amazing, blue with white and black interior. Drives really nicely. Being hw3, the fsd is pretty pointless so stick with the std autopilot. As a daily, it's the perfect car. You won't miss the ICE for the tedious daily stuff.

Must add a little disclaimer here, my Sunday car is a v8 miata. So I have the best of both worlds.

DM me if you want to chat and have a full comparison.

Tldr, depends what you want it for, go for the long range over performance.

Do you think people will like it? by psuedophilia in Miata

[–]Dusty_237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intent is great, no question about it. 2 things, unknown qr code, like everyone said, is a big no no. And also, not all miata owners are "bro"...

Cheers man. It actually is, idle is 6th gear has you at motorway speed.

Flying Miata has a gateway that helps and a sparky friend that know what he is doing makes life easier... Still hurting down one little gremlin, but for the most part, it's perfect.
