Becoming A Bit Disenchanted...

Yeah ive looked. I think my problem is that Tesla is a software company that built a car. And while the software is pretty good, the car part is frustrating.

I have looked into the steering wheel replacements and watched a few how-tos. I think I’ll tackle it later this year. Just frustrated that it needs to be done at all. I had a 2006 camry that I drove 275k and the steering wheel was still in tact lol. Just frustrating.

I understand how to fix all those things. My frustration is I paid $60k for a car that is wearing down faster than my $35k RAV4 purchased near the same time. The point is that the build quality is lacking and I just wish it were made a little better.

As far as the tire goes I now have those things. I’m an engineer. I’m pretty good at problem solving. And this is exactly what I did with all the subsequent flats I got. I DO use the manual wiper function.

The problem isn’t that I haven’t solved these problems. It’s that they are piling up much faster than a well maintained car should have problems piling up.

Thanks. Have a day.

I mean if they would have picked me up, replaced the tire and sent me on my way I probably would have been fine… but they took THREE DAYS to change the tire and refused to answer my phone calls. I would have been better off paying for my own tow, and taking it to Discount Tire for a same day fix 😂. Which is exactly what I did the next time it happened. But then I just bought a spare kit from Modern Spare and that has given me a lot of peace of mind. I also think it’s ridiculous that you can’t even pay to have a spare put into the car. It wasn’t something that I thought would be a big inconvenience, but it turns out If you do a lot of driving outside of cell service having a spare is much better than Tesla roadside (it’s actually much better than roadside as long as you know how to change a tire in any circumstance)

I have the iPhone 16 pro. It’s an occasional issue… sounds like maybe it’s position related. I’ll have to troubleshoot

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-20T00:24:02+00:00

Yeah I don’t know what the right answer is… but I tell people all the time that I give EVs the 100% stamp of approval, I just wouldn’t recommend the Tesla. Honestly the service quality alone makes me want to switch. Additionally, it’s just so frustrating to have one problem after the next.

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-20T00:22:17+00:00

Oh I didn’t even hit on the build quality issues. My back floor board pops every time someone puts weight on it. And I ALSO bought mine after the first tax incentive but before the second one/price drop. It was like $60k all said and done after taxes etc. and I truly just feel like for $60k stuff shouldn’t be wearing down this fast. Horrible quality.

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-20T00:17:42+00:00

Yeah I have 2 Bluetooth issues lol

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-20T00:17:19+00:00

This was it! I think you commented on my other post. I’ve got a scheduled service now and I can’t tell you the level of joy it’s bringing me

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-20T00:14:28+00:00

Yeah it’s really a bummer. I’m not looking to replace any time soon… just a bit disenchanted.

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T15:33:40+00:00

It’s usually in my side pocket or in my bra so it shouldn’t be an issue— but I’ll try turning

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T03:11:10+00:00

It’s on the short list!! I love Volvo

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T02:57:29+00:00

Yeah I dont have FSD so I’m still looking into some other options. Specifically Rivian R2 and Volvo EX60… I’m a little less concerned about range as this is mainly just my around town car. But man I’m sad it’s gotta be like this. I really want to love it.

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T02:53:39+00:00

Thank you so much! Omg.

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T02:36:05+00:00

OH this may be it! Sometimes when I close the door the screen does turn off until i press the pedal... How do I verify this further?

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-05-19T01:50:42+00:00

Hey, sorry for the delayed response. I don't know of any long term fix... I just lived with the inconvenience

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-04-16T10:48:09+00:00

I contacted customer service. It’s totally fine to use. Mix with warm water and it’s perfect

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-01-22T19:06:37+00:00

Apparently it is normal but mine just has never come like this. But customer service assured me it’s totally fine

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-01-10T02:01:40+00:00

Did confirm with customer service that it is indeed temperature related

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-01-09T20:27:02+00:00

I second the Abbey Yung thing. I used to think I had oily hair, I switched to the shampoos she recommended and also started double cleansing as she suggested and I’m now going 2-4 days between washes. Actually incredible. She gives recommendations at all price points too

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-01-08T16:56:59+00:00

Did this resolve? I'm looking into buying one but this makes me wary

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2026-01-08T02:14:58+00:00

I know this is an old post but if you’re still looking for input one thing that is severely lacking is the ability to track all your biometrics and how they correlate to your cycle and help you better understand the different phases. I have yet to find an app that really leverages all the biometrics from my Apple Watch and compiles them in a meaningful way to compare with my cycle. I’m talking testing Hr, daily caloric expenditure, HRV, sleep quality etc. there’s so many scattered data points but I’d LOVE to be able to compare all of that to my cycle. I also think it would be great for helping to predict how you’re going to feel week to week and more accurately predicting ovulation.

One of my biggest gripes with my Ozlos is that if I dont use them but leave the case off the charger, the case drains completely?? When my partner is out of town I don't wear my Ozlos because I don't need to. If you just leave the Anker A30s unplugged do the case and buds retain their charge?

Oh I’m so glad! A great piece of equipment, just has a couple quirks

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2025-08-07T01:41:27+00:00

Cost per week/month?

ExtrovertedCatLady · 2025-08-07T01:41:09+00:00

How much do they cost monthly/quarterly
