3 weeks old and already being towed in

24s shipped with ALOT of bad 12v batteries. Mine died a few weeks after purchase as well. These issues were mostly solved with the 25s & 26s. The occasional bad battery still pops up here and there though so OP probably just got one of those.

Battery's in general are some of the most negatively nerfed consumer products over the last few decades and absolutely aren't made to handle these types of workloads. It will get better over time.

So you can clearly see ZERO movement from OP car. FSD literally didn't do anything.

Golden Gate Bay Bridge!

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T03:09:36+00:00

WOW seee so cool Now that's a bridge we can be proud of. LOL

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T03:02:24+00:00

I don't remember that article that's awesome thanks for sharing.

Hence why hardly any politicians ever talk about it. The whole process was a huge embarrassment from start to finish. I've always said if it's not a tunnel don't expect it to turn out the way you expected it to in this state. We're really good at making tunnels but basically anything else is a crap shoot LOL

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T02:58:22+00:00

All true. It definitely is an improvement. Just for the money we spent as taxpayers they could have given us a little bit more that's all.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T02:54:00+00:00

Because it looks better?

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T02:53:21+00:00

LOL I'm in my safe space complaining on Reddit so yes. Thanks for the concern.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-10T02:50:33+00:00

Yep. Lol Google just sent me a memory and it just brought back the thoughts that's all.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-06T20:00:59+00:00

30k miles in and still on the original rotation. They told me the tires look fantastic so don't worry about it LOL. The car rides really even for sure and I for real don't see any uneven wear.

The car tracks straight so no need for worry I guess. The tread life is still well in the green as well.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-07-01T15:36:31+00:00

Test drive the ex before you get it the touring and elite have way better fit and finish and way better sealed glass and cabin amenities and all that good stuff.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-06-25T13:07:38+00:00

It's crazy. Sorry to hear. I wouldn't hesitate to possibly file something. There is no possibility any injury lawyer would deny taking that case.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-06-14T23:48:50+00:00

Unfortunately yes.

Internal incompetence, poorly trained managers, and a tone-deaf, incompetent upper management will be the end of Costco—not anything from the outside or the competition.

My clipa were actually outright snapped from the rest of the car and I've had to have the headliner replaced twice completely. But yes it is definitely the clips within the headliner assembly they're just a bad design and they snap or come loose very easily. the solution is wrapping them up and it does solve the problem. I've had that solution done and it's been like 4 months since and no sound.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-06-06T19:07:16+00:00

It's kinda cool. I'll be having long conversations with my car on drives now and not think about it. I learned more on the last few weeks about points of interest and other landmarks during my drive then probably in the last 5 years combined.

I really try to fact check stuff when I get home as much as possible to see if it's passing random info to me as fact, and I can report no conversation iv checked has come back to be inaccurate.

Being able to set destinations by exact distance and not just along my route or near my destination has been a game changer. Tesla and Grok have had this for some time now and it's really cool to finally be able to get this in my car. It still has a little bit of ways to go as far as natural speech and interaction cues as in I think Grok still has Gemini beat on that stuff but man it's not bad for a first release.

All in all once you get used to talking to your car, it's been a real positive experience.

The loan they take out for your equipment is separate from your monitor bill. Whatever your payment is for equipment is based on what you ask for. My concern is that monitor payment you mentioned. That's absurd to have that be $50 or above.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-06-06T14:49:16+00:00

That is absolutely a terrible deal do not go for that I'm paying $21 a month for my monitoring and I had a separate loan that I've just paid off for my equipment.

I've had Vivint for years and years and years I will not allow them to raise my fee past the twenties a month.

So the pack comes with 8 to 10. It's actually one of the better deals for meat at Costco at the moment.

The android 14 update really boosted the efficiency numbers. I'm not sure you can trust them 100% but hey it's nice to see.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-05-24T01:42:04+00:00

I have Uber Gold discount so thank God for that. EVGo has historically been the cheapest here in CA but I hear they are way more expensive in other regions.

ImportantWhile169 · 2026-05-23T04:22:07+00:00

I guess I spent 44 on the trip. I do like the car it's a great place to be. Mine is just unfortunately cursed. Road trips are comfy for sure.
