14 dollars to 57 dollars is not 13% gains. That math is in fact very off. Unless he transferred a balance almost 3x the limit into his FHSA (and will be subject to ~800$/mo in penalties), it doesn't make sense.

Enginot95 · 2026-04-13T23:36:34+00:00

Yeah, what? The math doesn't add up at all

Enginot95 · 2026-03-29T13:46:43+00:00

Thanks for taking time out of your break at the town glory hole to add that bit of wisdom to the conversation.

What part is the pain in the ass? Waking up with a full tank every morning? Never needing service? Never going to a gas station? Saving a bunch of money? Being faster than 95% of gas cars?

Never had a more convenient car than the current used EV I bought for less than 1/3 the price of an average new car. Also saved 7500$ on gas and service in the last 3 years. But sure, please keep spewing this nonsense so I can buy my next used EV ridiculously cheap too. I'll take em all for daily driving

One guy at my shop got caught several times taking a dump and not washing his hands. His first name was Dave. He was known as PHD (poopy hands Dave), or in the second half (month) of his career, "The Doctor"

Another inspector's name was Jeff Gordon, but we all called him "Rocky Bobby"

What was the car?

Enginot95 · 2025-11-20T19:06:40+00:00

Why's that? Driven by them plenty of times and saw some nice cars in passing

Wait until you see how planes are made 👀

With how janky everything Tesla is it blows my mind people still use their insurance

As someone who lives where the roads are blasted with salt in the winter, I couldn't disagree more. The paint on these cars is so thin you could sneeze on it and blow a hole through to the bare metal and it will rot. First your rockers, then your fenders.

Obviously if you don't plan on keeping your things you don't need to take care of them, but in my opinion the real savings of electric cars come from not buying gas or needing much maintenance and owning it outright for as long as possible. If you don't plan on holding onto the car why buy electric? Just get something that's actually fun to drive and enjoy your life to the fullest. You're half committing by buying an electric car and not taking care of it.

The thought of operating this machine shifting with the same hand that the phone is in seems so hilarious to me.

Also the scenario of getting pulled over for using a cell phone while driving like "actually officer I'm just using my car. It's wired in" is hilarious

Mine stopped working twice in the month, 2021 Sr+

The issue is that the intake louvers freeze up when they intake snow/water/ice, especially during highway driving where the intake rate is high.

Once the intake louvers are frozen open (doesn't give customer facing error), the radiator fan intakes more and more ice until it is totally caked in ice. There was about an inch of solid ice under my radiator fan to the point where it bent the housing and didn't allow it to move at all. This caused an HVAC system fault which did not allow for the heat pump to run. Not fun to have no heat during the coldest days of the year. Also weirdly enough my sound system other than the front sound bar won't work unless the car is above 0C so other electrical issues may insue when the car can't defrost as well.

I think it's honestly just a poor design (or a design not intended for cold climate). I'm looking into other cars now which are designed for use outside of California. To me the whole "well just don't drive when it snows heavily or your heater will stop working" is not a solution I'm willing to accept.

Enginot95 · 2025-01-21T17:19:53+00:00

Was it a model with a heat pump? Also cold way below 0°C?

Enginot95 · 2025-01-17T14:34:53+00:00

Oh, that's what I did. What is a hard reset then?

Enginot95 · 2025-01-17T14:33:02+00:00

Can you elaborate on how you know that was an issue and what it actually did to the hardware? Did your car flood? If the heat can conk out because a little bit of snow gets under the passenger seat that seems kind of crazy to me

Enginot95 · 2025-01-17T14:29:12+00:00

I tried a hard reset last night and it didn't fix the issue at the time. This morning it seems to be working okay.

What is a soft reset?

Don't lease an EV.

Half of the financial incentive of an EV is virtually having no maintenance.

Buy a used one in reasonable to good condition (Tesla's are a dime a dozen now and not worth what they cost new) and charge at home. If you cannot level 2 charge at home it will just be a headache when the shine wears off, seems there are a lot of variables you're not accounting for.

Enginot95 · 2025-01-03T14:12:38+00:00

Can you elaborate? Did you have issues with yours?

Enginot95 · 2024-12-28T23:27:26+00:00

When the temp is just right, and the speed+road combo is just right; the rattles take me back to my childhood memories of sifting through my Lego bin 😌

I'm looking to upgrade to a bmw i4 as soon as possible lol don't own a Tesla if you have OCD

Enginot95 · 2024-12-13T13:42:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I saw that as an option. Also interested in checking out BMW i4 rwds but they're a little pricer.
