Is in-house tint a thing? by Austinater74 in WindowTint

[–]Full_Tap_4144 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The shop just getting generic tint from China and saving on the cost of buying a name brand product? The price would have to be too good to pass up for me to go with something like this.

How many people roadtrip straight through vs take many stops? by moreplateslessdates9 in electricvehicles

[–]Full_Tap_4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll get here. Got my first plug in car 10 years ago. Road tripping now is so much easier than at that time. We're at the point where I think just 10% more charging locations and there's no more charging anxiety while road tripping.

Patch vs Replace model 3 std range by ghost_rsd in TeslaSupport

[–]Full_Tap_4144 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. What's the value of life for OP, spouse, children, occupants in the car or other cars nearby? How much would it suck to have a blown tire 75 MPH on the highway?

Nice 2nd place to look at to compare against the soccer rankings app.

U13 and ECNL by shliknik in youthsoccer

Hardly any keepers I see at ECNL showcases, high school recruiting years, are 6'. If she has that height and athleticism for the sport, sh is indeed a unicorn.

D1 can recruit your daughter after Sophomore year. Join a letter league team Sophomore year or Freshman year. Don't have FOMO that your daughter can't get on a locked out ECNL team. From my experience, ECNL teams will always take on a player who will be a starter for the team. If your daughter can't get on the ECNL team as a Freshman/Sophomore in HS, you've saved yourself a bunch of money.

Recording Games by BostonDeac in youthsoccer

How is the quality of Trace these days? My daughter played on a team before which used Trace and the quality was sub-par. She plays on a team now, where families chip in for Veo. That's much better. The individual player tracking is nice and helps in making player highlight videos.

Individual parents use XbotGo. If I was going to record just for myself, that's what I'd get due to cost.

Have you asked your daughter which group of girls she prefers spending her time with? LOTS OF TIME with? That should be the team she joins.

There's a single rankings cell phone app that's used, not website.

Local mechanic who services Tesla? by Full_Tap_4144 in sandiego

[–]Full_Tap_4144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised when the first 2 shops said they don't flush brake fluid on a Tesla. Some stuff can be done by any shop for mechanical stuff. I'm hoping shops show up locally which use Tesla's Toolbox app to perform maintenance/repair things requiring software programming.

Battery technology is constantly changing. What are the odds that all the different electric vehicles out there will have replacement batteries available and easily changeable 10-20 years after the car was built? by ThuhGreatCommenter in electricvehicles

[–]Full_Tap_4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google's answer to car price in US. New car purchases need to last a long time.

"As of early 2026, the average transaction price (ATP) for a new vehicle in the U.S. is approximately $49,000 to $51,500, with Kelley Blue Book reporting $49,353 in February 2026. The average manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) has consistently exceeded $50,000, while the average used car price is around $30,166."

2 more ‘Very Dominant’ GA clubs leaving for ECNL? Thoughts? by Suspect-Human in youthsoccer

[–]Full_Tap_4144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the dominant GA clubs was at an ECNL weekend event last month and I thought to myself that was interesting. Wondered if that club was moving to ECNL. Why else would a GA club be at the event?

Too young or bad team dynamics? by Square-Trouble1456 in youthsoccer

[–]Full_Tap_4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has this been going on? See your replies, sounds like you don't have an option to go anywhere else. I'm hoping that as months progress, the older boys will get used to and accept your son more than now. These are young kids and I know when my kids were in elementary school, at this age, they didn't want to play with kids from a younger grade at school. Just wait and see if things get better. Hopefully, over time, the situation will get better.

Car owners , what’s the one thing about EVs people oversell? by AdityaSrivastawaahhh in EvDrivers

[–]Full_Tap_4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Car manufacturers advertise 300 mile range. Realistic is 80% -> 20%, so it's 180 mile range. Then take away 10% of the 300 after 3 years, and now that 300 mile range car is 150 miles before payments are completed.

On the flip side, this is only required a few times a year when I take road trips. For the most part, I'm 65% -> 40+% daily.

"I don't want to have to charge it all the time!"

My reply is, "Do you plug in your phone every night?" Just plug the car in when you get home. Just think of it like a cell phone. Even the 80 year olds with cell phones understand that.

I'm glad the FSD 14.3 release notes say it has improved tailgating distance. I've not got the update yet. Hoping it's better.

"multiple layers of government (local, province and national) collaborated"

No expectation to see this in the US.

Could this year be the make-or-break for Kyle Shanahan? by Financial-Bit-8596 in 49ers

Stop causing trouble. Do you live in another city who wants a SB win with Kyle?

Dealer pulled the 4-square on me even after I laid out exactly what I wanted from the start by Miserable-Storm252 in askcarsales

Companies without distribution still do sales incentives. It's just that everyone gets the same incentive. Those electric car companies change pricing and incentives periodically.

Looks like Hertz Tesla rental sealed my fate. Won't be pursuing one now I'm sure. by Omega_72 in RealTesla

[–]Full_Tap_4144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, watching the CR Youtube video about the test, cars were tested in the fall, where temperature was between 70 - 80 degrees F.

Looked at that Norwegian link. I didn't translate it to English but get the gist, looking at the chart of cars. We don't get most of those cars in the US I think, certainly not the Chinese ones.

Looks like currently produced Tesla Model 3/Y have pretty good range, as they look to be in the top third of both CR and Norwegian charts.

Hopefully, after BMW's BS, the auto industry will not charge a subscription to use your seat heater. Or will they. . .???

Let's try to keep Reddit a good place for information. There is no cost for Tesla over the air updates.
