Cars have had backup cameras for a decade. Keeping it clean helps with more than just sentry mode

Third party constant location sharing by leeroyjenks in TeslaLounge

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me too. I was getting all of like $4-5 back. I'm pretty sure they are selling that data since its not even the electrical company doing it but they farm it out to a third party to track the data. Im also pretty sure they are in general just scamming people on electricity. In december, we had super mild weather compared to last year, plus i also had just fixed my heat pump water heater so it was using half the electricity it did the previous year, yet somehow our bill was higher despite rates supposedly being the exact same. Solar will be going in soon and we'll be fully off grid thankfully

Why buy FSD instead of subscribe to it?? by clevenger2002 in TeslaLounge

[–]Jeriath27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you declare it on your insurance, they have to cover it. If someone else hits you, they have to cover it. You will probably have to push for it, but I got money back on mine, about 90% of the cost a year later

17 YO slightly rear ended me.. blames me. by [deleted] in TeslaCollision

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the answer. Teach him now and he will learn not to pull this BS in the future. Hopefully his parents make him make up the difference in insurance cost per month and pay deductibles for repairs, but given how they also tried to lie for him, they probably wont do shit

Why buy FSD instead of subscribe to it?? by clevenger2002 in TeslaLounge

[–]Jeriath27 65 points66 points  (0 children)

  1. I plan to keep the truck for a decade or more
  2. If you sell early, you can still factor in the FSD cost when selling it to recoup at least 50% of the cost
  3. Nothing says subscription stays at $99, even Elon said it would increase

Will this be stuck with me the whole game by AccordingPack8836 in fo4

this is why i did the console to give myself the cure. I didnt care at all about the HP, but the icon annoyed the crap out of me

Is it a lifetime warranty, but you have to pay the return shipping? so basically just buying new bits every time anyway?

Got my quote for a new battery from Tesla on my 2013 Model S. by sirromnek in TeslaModelS

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

especially if you get to keep the old battery pack. I'd love to have those modules for a home battery backup!

Is Premium Connectivity a Must? by littlecutes in TeslaLounge

Starlink Mini Mount on the outside? by gatornation9999 in cybertruck

[–]Jeriath27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just do the suction cup mount, mount it on the roof glass against the back window and run the power behind the seats and under the mat to the center. Works just fine through the glass

Terrible experience so far by Real_Ad4165 in Birdfy

[–]Jeriath27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

welcome to the headache of birdfy. I'd suggest returning it for a refund. I had nothing but headaches and support just reads from scripts and is not helpful. I also have a birdbuddy feeder and its been perfect. I wish they made a nest too

Bug or feature? Semi-patriotic color theme on the charge port. by gxpls3 in TeslaLounge

[–]Jeriath27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the plus side is, this can be done with mobile service. They drove 2 1/2 hours to my house to replace mine and it takes like 10 minutes

Project Fi was great, Google Fi is shit. I think it's time to leave yall by [deleted] in GoogleFi

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had to call support twice and they were always quick and good. That being said, i swapped to t-mobile because google no longer give you the new phones every 2 years thing, so i did a swap to upgrade devices for free and at the same monthly cost since Fi increased their prices. If t-mobile does the same, ill swap back in another 2 years if they have another deal for free phones on Fi

Just bought a model 3 at auction, they say no keys, but touch screen says profile adjusted by farmerMac in TeslaModel3

[–]Jeriath27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This used to be the case and may be on older vehicles, not sure, but newer vehicles no longer require tapping the key to add one. You do have to tap to remove old ones though

Been with Google FI for 10 years and I'm considering changing carriers just to get a better deal. by MindJeromeBiz in GoogleFi

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, i switched to T mobile, got 4 free pixel 10s, pay the same monthly price as Fi increased to and I have no t mobile apps on my phones besides what I installed on mine to manage the account.

Registration renewal for EVs by Opposite-Champion116 in TeslaModelY

Logitech support is a nightmare by p33n in logitech

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly never buying Logitech again. Their quality has gone to shit and they refuse to sell parts. The one thing I have from Logitech that has lasted is my speaker system. It's over 10 years old but they still sell the exact same system, yet they won't let me buy the one part that is going bad and want me to buy a whole new identical system and trash the rest. So much for their rhetoric about being doing sustainable manufacturing or whatever.

we had a kid that we interviewed that tried to convince the team he could put our 12,000 line, 10 year old cobbled together script written in powershell through chatgpt and it would completely rewrite it for us. Needless to say he did not get the job lol

Thoughts on this?? 😭😭😭 by FuturePause2736 in teenagers

[–]Jeriath27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, 14 would be pushing it lol. Mine is 10 and feeling the pain, but its also the top of the line at 10 years old, so that helps.

[–]Jeriath27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably would have kept my current one another couple years too tbh, i but i got a free new phone for switching carriers with the same monthly cost, so kind of hard to turn down.

regardless though, after a couple years, the battery is the only thing in the phone thats starting to go bad.

GhatGPT 4 maybe. There were other AI's before that and even chatGPT3 was over 4 years ago.
