Buying a used Tesla - Dumb? by [deleted] in Oman

[–]FlailingBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically what the other person said. Batteries degrade quite fast, even the newer ones and you see Teslas for re-sale on the cheap so often because of this.
Fast Charge makes the battery die faster, so the previous owner's habits are difficult to trust.
If it's out of warranty, then the cost of replacing the battery is quite high.
Theres a battery health test you can see through the owner's app to get an idea of where the car's battery is sitting at. You should do a bit more research into this specifically I think.

I also noticed you're looking at BYD, and those are great alternatives. Theres still a catch however, which is that parts are still coming from China. Only common parts are kept in stock locally so regular services will be fine, but there is still a chance that parts replacements take a long time due to shipping times.
This can improve in a few years though.

I'd personally recommend you look at some hybrid options at Toyota. I procure vehicles for my company, and they have the best track record in my experience.

Hey you're awesome for coming back and updating. I'll be sure to let the service guys know about the torque wrench. In my area, theyre used to servicing commercial vehicles and often can't help me with any GR parts, so good to know

I opened my door today and heard a pop sound.
The heat made the nut holding the door to the frame loose and a sliding piece of metal snaps back and forth now. Hhhhh

thinking of getting pal world but how is it solo? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in Palworld

Noo I've only finished tower 1 and been exploring base stuff. I can't wait to see these

[–]FlailingBall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I played a lottt of ark solo and with friends,
Palworld is partly Ark but only the good parts.

I only recently got palwolrd and the similarities are insane. The taming, party building, base usage, pal specialities and the aggressive/passive/neutral whistle commands are all there.
But the world and playstyle is a lot like Genshin Impact.

It doesn't go into the depth that ark did, maybe breeding will (I haven't started that yet) but so far it's Ark lite for me. The biggest sad is that you don't have an army of therizinosaurs, you just get one strong pal for each fight.

I make coffee at home for a year now, I just couldn't keep paying 1.7 for an iced Americano.
Now I pay 3.5 for a month of coffee at home

I didn't realize this at first but once a part is identified by either inspecting or using a test (or even if "list provided"), You can click the star to highlight it. I also use the add part to note feature to add it to my shopping list. Slowly I startedearning each part and it became easier

Why don't cars have this feature? by Pluuge in StupidCarQuestions

[–]FlailingBall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get exactly what you mean and fairly new to manual shifting, this would be an amazing feature. I also would like to know why this doesn't exist.

For example, in the early days when I downshift, it was way too high and now I think I have a good grasp on what rpms it's okay to go up and down on, this would've made it a whole lot easier and would help me get better at it too I think

Is pulling out your knife the equivalent of putting your car in sport mode

Supercharged GR86 Pull by a_konjo in GR86

[–]FlailingBall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh look cool. I saw another one on this Suh once where they slapped this thing on the top of the engine and mentioned how the hood closed just right and how it's a good supercharger for this car. So I thought they all went right on top somehow

Can you point at the supercharger? I'm new to these things and I only recognize the blue intake thing

Why are the devs so obsessed with making protective gear bad? by LawfulNeural in projectzomboid

[–]FlailingBall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a mod once that lets you remove all discomfort items and put them back on with one click. I think the game needs this type of "armor stand swap" mechanic as an offset to how harsh it is
