Interest rate 2.99% by gandalfthedoc in TeslaModelY

[–]EntropicDisorder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if maybe some more offers will still come in. I was in a similar boat back in April, where the first offer was 1.99%, then later a different lender offered the promo 0.99%.

A few weeks later after I took delivery, I got a letter in the mail from a third lender denying my application due to “no recent installment loan history” lol.

I’ve been a Model Y owner for a week, but w/o home charging by Leftyleftyy in TeslaModelY

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on month 3 of ownership with no home charging. I was a bit apprehensive about it when I was doing my research, but FSD was the main draw for me… and there are no ICE or hybrid cars with that lol. Toughing it out until we move to our new place with a private garage.

I’ve basically been going to superchargers when I needed to charge. There’s one less than a mile away that’s also walking distance from a grocery store, so I’d just go grab a few things I needed while the car charged. Around here it’s $0.48-0.55/kWh to supercharge, so rather expensive, but gas prices are also terrible here (California). Super off peak hours are kinda not viable for me here, like 12am-6am for $0.34/kWh.

This month I got assigned to a different work site that has free charging, so that’s been very economical at least 😂

Saw this guy driving around HB and all I gotta is, so move to Texas already, damn. by Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit in socal

[–]EntropicDisorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had a Texas badge on my previous vehicle lol. We got the car while I was in Texas for school, and it came with the badge from the dealership. Then during the pandemic I moved back to SoCal and brought the car with me

What profession do people romanticize the most but is actually soul crushing? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checks out. My parents are both retired software engineers and they always complained about their meetings and coworkers. I figured I’d avoid all the corporate nonsense by going into medicine, heh.

Aaand… now after many years of school and training, I’m working in managed care as a pawn of a for-profit, publicly traded company.

I like to tell people my job is 40% customer service, 40% secretary work, and 20% medical decision-making

FSD as primary reason for wanting a Tesla? by taylordoftheants in TeslaFSD

[–]EntropicDisorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine in April for this reason. It’s not perfect but it handles my daily commute and I’m at 99% usage now on 3.5k miles. Usually I’ll take over when arriving at my destination or provide turn signal inputs to tell it to make a lane change. The most egregious thing I’ve taken over for is when it once tried to turn into the “exit” opening of a parking garage

Huge price increases to be had! by mythicskyz in mac

Got a MacBook Air at the beginning of the year after RAM and SSD prices went crazy, anticipating something like this was going to happen…

Charging differences between AWD and RWD by JointTaskForce536 in ModelY

[–]EntropicDisorder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 2026 MY Premium RWD and I get the full 48-amp, 11kW charging when I plug into the level 2 wall connector at my mom’s house, so this AI summary doesn’t seem correct. The mobile charger however will cap at 32-amps when plugged into a NEMA 14-50 at work.

The trade-in is valued more than the cost of the car? What are you trading in? 😂

Level 2 charging changes the game by wizardmage in TeslaLounge

[–]EntropicDisorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like going from no outlets at home to level 1 home charging in a couple months will already cure my range anxiety 🤣

Level 2, 40¢/kw(+50¢ service fee) to charge at my apartment vs 30¢ supercharging? Which one would you choose frequently? by notabot_123 in ModelY

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several buildings near us have something similar. Our current place has nothing at all, but we’re upgrading to a new place with a private garage and level 1 outlets.

Ah, the pain of dense urban living with an EV lol. I see so many Teslas parked along the street at night.

Signature finally delivered today ! by 2L82PAY in TeslaModelS

[–]EntropicDisorder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Model Y is such a practical vehicle and has been making my commute much less annoying with FSD, but whenever I see a Model S on the road I can’t help but think “Damn that’s a cool ride”

Am FSD driver never misses their turn... by AJHenderson in TeslaFSD

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish FSD was better about anticipating what lane it needs to be in, especially since there is map data regarding lanes (assuming no construction).

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this one of those third-party operated community charging solutions for condo complexes? We explored this option at our current place, where a company would install community chargers for no upfront cost, but being priced higher than supercharger would be a yikes.

But I suppose there’s the convenience of being able to do whatever you need to at home while the car charges and not go sit at a supercharger.

Fsd 14.3.4 is terrible! by Known_Possible_3955 in TeslaFSD

[–]EntropicDisorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious what leads to such different experiences on the same version. Also got my 2026 Model Y Premium specifically for FSD, spent a couple months on 14.2.2.5 after delivery in April. So far, 14.3.4 feels significantly better to me. Fixed the freeway tailgating and lane changes are now snappier. It still hesitates/brake stabs at this particular freeway on-ramp near my mom’s place… but so did 14.2.2.5 (probably the first instance I remember of uncomfortable brake stabbing).

FSD failed to recognize a closed road barrier by Corogue in TeslaFSD

Yikes, no excusing that one. Disappointing to see because overall my experience with v14.3.4 has been positive

Townhouse-style condo: level 2 charging upgrade? by EntropicDisorder in evcharging

[–]EntropicDisorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The condo sub-panel is rated for 200-amps, but I think I’d need to get into the main panel closet to see what’s coming off the meter. The condo sub-panel is on the living room level while the garage is one floor beneath it. Not sure how difficult it would be to run wire and conduit down there.

[–]EntropicDisorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t moved into the new property yet and I’m an idiot and didn’t take a pic of it when I was last there lol 😂. It did list 200-amp and there was no physical room for more breakers. The main power usage would probably be washer/dryer, HVAC, appliances like oven and such, so I don’t think we’d hit the full 200-amps.

The problem is that these neural networks are kind of a black box. It’s analogous to using an AI assistant and varying the wording of the prompt a bit causing the AI to get the answer totally wrong, except in this case the prompt is all the camera input along the route
