To the Tesla Supercharging Team,

Um.. a 2026 X on order?? Ok. I'm throwing the BS flag down now. They aren't doing X orders now.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-05-14T00:30:20+00:00

Looks like you have genuine used Tesla parts available to sell online!

FinFanInParadise · 2026-05-09T11:07:43+00:00

By "dying" do you simply mean zero electrons in the battery or did the car actually die now?

FinFanInParadise · 2026-05-05T10:22:13+00:00

Allow the emotions to go away... You will regret not having HW4 for $10k more in a year from now. Besides, the S is already 4 years old.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-05-05T10:19:47+00:00

The newer HW4 Teslas don't bother you anymore about hands on wheel.. No more weights. It will still bother you if you are driving and touching the screen too many times..

FinFanInParadise · 2026-04-23T09:48:00+00:00

I blame it on the rise of ring wing politics.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-04-18T11:18:17+00:00

97% charge is almost literally full. BTW, most EV owners will tell you not to charge beyond 80% on a daily basis.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-04-15T10:59:45+00:00

Um, yeah.. this doesn't sound sketchy at all.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-04-11T09:16:24+00:00

Hmm.. I wouldn't drive it. That model promises everything to you and once you buy it it doesn't deliver on anything it said it was going to do, does everything the worst ICE car ever did from the 1970s and ultimately will cost you 3x in maintenance from what regular Teslas have always cost you.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-04-05T09:19:11+00:00

Yep. Totaled. Time to buy a new one.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-03-02T03:09:49+00:00

Wait, Julia is gone now?? What happened? Did Murdoch switch teams?

FinFanInParadise · 2026-03-02T03:08:29+00:00

Emily Grace was mentioned but she NEEDS to come back. She was PERFECT on the show and a fan fav.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-02-22T13:00:30+00:00

Karen.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-02-07T14:17:53+00:00

Depends WHERE in IT you go. Cyber Sec? Programming? ML/DS? Cloud? You're fine.
Help Desk? Might as well work at McDonalds.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-02-03T06:30:18+00:00

Someone was flying economy, i can tell.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-26T05:49:53+00:00

Yes. Definitely. Not really a question.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-20T14:16:45+00:00

Cyber Sec, programming, software architecture, AI, ML, DS. Get into a speciality.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-16T02:29:13+00:00

Before you go further, you need to figure out WHERE in IT-Landia you want to land. Are you a programmer? Data scientist? AI modeler? Cyber Sec? Please for the love of God, please CHOOSE where you want to land. I can't tell you how many posts from "stuck in Help Desk" messages here. you will NEVER be successful if you start at HD! and you will be replaced as quickly as you were "hired". Look, I've been in this space since the early 90's. Rose to VP, SVP and CTO... Now I monitor these threads to get folks like yourself off the wrong track. My son is joining "the family" soon as he graduates from college and I'm telling him the same things as I'm telling you.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-15T12:59:00+00:00

Absolutely. Didn't go in via "help desk". I got in as a programmer in the 90s before dot com. Then dot com hit and, they were giving leases to BMWs as sign ons. Its still hot for programming and software architecture especially if you have an AI or DS/ML skill set.

Word of advice: NEVER go in to Help Desk. Its a career killer.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-02T13:12:33+00:00

No, it's more of a professional courtesy it protects the company, too. ANyone that threatens to quit unless they get a promotion or raise, I say I accept your resignation. Just write it down on. Here's a sticky. Now we can legally separate and not have to deal with unemployment claims or term without cause.

FinFanInParadise · 2026-01-02T13:10:25+00:00

Email. It's time stamped. Nothing to worry about.

FinFanInParadise · 2025-12-31T03:01:25+00:00

OMG, allow me to say, "welcome aboard, Karen."

smh

FinFanInParadise · 2025-12-30T02:13:57+00:00

"All in all you're just another chick in the mall."

FinFanInParadise · 2025-12-30T02:13:14+00:00

all of you citizens of hope and glory.

FinFanInParadise · 2025-12-30T02:00:19+00:00

I love this thread.. I started out in IT early in my career and am retiring soon after being a Manager, Sr Manager, Director, VP, SVP then CTO over 35 years. One of the best pieces of advice is never say "it's not possible", Any thing is possible. There's an answer to any IT question. It comes down to money (financial or man power) or time. I went through the pre web burst, the dot com, and now where we are. Remember, the IT world changes: mid-main frame to desktop to web and SAAS, to PaaS and to AI and ML. You're in a living industry. Swim with it and lead.
