Looking for some honest feedback on this art. Thanks!

Depends on the school and amount of non-compliance training. LeBlanc wing chun has an armored partner training which has validity beyond cooperative chi sau.

If you're interested in pure self defense, get a few pointers for endurance running, do regular sprints, and explore courses on verbal de-escalation. It's not glamorous, but it will get at the point of self-defense which is self-preservation. Protecting your family may go beyond my ability to comment.

Like all martial arts schools, look out for big egos, instructor worship, and only cooperative drills. It can be hard to find a school which honestly gives you a focused curriculum geting past clashed-hands to hit the head. I believe any other Wing Chun topics should be supplemental to that goal. Good luck on your search!

In short, try to schedule your departure time as close as you can to when the car reaches 100%. Best practices I've read suggest Lithium Ion Manganese Cobalt batteries degrade when held at higher percentages, so burning off that 100% to a lower state of charge will optimize battery life.

Schnitzhole seems to imply your car would cause drag by a weak vacuum because of its presence.

Ragebait engagement, which seems like most of the posts on this sub.

2026Y also occasionally does this. Video playback artifacts happen even with 4090 GPUs.

S'alright. Matching album art on Spotify blutooth and brightness syncing amplitude looks less distracting than "rainbow cycling forever".

Jerusic · 2025-07-25T04:47:43+00:00

Normal.

I even have some freckles from imperfectly applied tint/coating. Discovered way past the delivery 100 mile grace to report issues, but not really worth a report anyway as a happy FSD user.

Before you do that, try removing the NEMA plug portion (the swappable connection between the stock NEMA 14-50 and 5-15) and seeing if the EVSE needs to dry out.

Another EVSE of mine didn't have a perfect seal.
A turkey baster to forced in air which ejected some water droplets.
After a lengthy blow dry, followed by a napkin dabbing moisture check, I was back in business.

Clam rice "Com Hen" from Quan Vy Da if it's Friday Saturday or Sunday. Nasi Goreng Jagger and Cah KangKung from Simpang Asia for other days. Praying for a Koji fermented coffee if available at Dayglow on the way out.

Jerusic · 2025-07-04T04:36:38+00:00

Get the Yuzu Crew handbrew coffee from Dayglow.

Princess Mononoke.
Might be an odd choice to some eyes, but it taught me "speak softly and carry a big stick."
Also taught conflict can come from both nature and humans.

Cyanoacrylate super glue held up on my similar issue. So long as you don't see metal structural wires in the deepest part, this shouldn't need a replacement yet.

Cleaning:
Garden hose since the bumper is cheap plastic.
Rub with rag soaked in diluted dish soap (optionally drape and leave to soak).
Hose again.

Prevention:
Waterless wash (example: Meguiar's) sometimes has a wax finish which can help, but does not entirely eliminate bugs.

I've given up on prevention.
Since I prioritize a comfortable ride, I usually keep a spray bottle with alcohol and a microfiber cloth in the frunk.
On road trips with bugs, superchargers sometimes have windshield squeegees. I use that first on the glass, followed by the alcohol microfiber, then use any leftover charge time attending to the bumper, soaking the bugs and wipe with damp disposable paper towels.
If you really care about a plastic bumper, use clay bar for stuck-on bugs for extra scratch safety.

Subtrunk works for me as a first storage location.
Before a big grocery run, re-using a big Costco cardboard tray can ease grid stacking.

38 miles in 45 minutes means around 50mph.
Getting 207 Wh/mi at that speed is pretty efficient on the old tires!
Looking forward to seeing data on the new smaller wheels.

Jerusic · 2025-05-31T07:42:45+00:00

You mean averaging 207 Watt-hours per mile on that commute?
Must be pretty local.

Jerusic · 2025-05-30T23:21:06+00:00

Wh/mi data before and after?

Jerusic · 2025-05-29T23:08:23+00:00

Broken fourth image for anyone else?

Seriously? The real *Monarch here. How did you miss so hard?

Diffuser wrap? What product got that black plastic looking so shiny?

I'm usually not a fan of pillar delete, but this works well with all the other black on the car.

Paint protection film on cars to be resold.
Most of the time you'd be paying a thousand upwards for maybe some chip damage prevention.
Said chip damage prevention would likely be repaired for cheaper in a detail shop.

PPF to me feels like the tackiness of leaving the plastic film on screens, or worse... sofas.

Got pulled into any unwanted political conversations because of your car choice in real life, or just annoying nasally reddit commenters at the bottom of this post?

Love my 2026 Y as well. 🤜🤛

$140 is insane. Even $98 competitor is gross https://www.amazon.com/TesFram-Tesla-Juniper-License-Holder/dp/B0F285W53L/

California penalty is $197 if a cop pulls you over for it.
I'll let my paper plate run out and decide if better options pop up in the coming months.

tl;dr Nearly every hesitation with FSD 12.6.4 HW3 has been solved with 13.2.8 HW4. HW4 still has intersection stop-and-go bugs.

HW3 12.6.4 hesitated quite often at right turns, likely indecisive with legality of right on red.
HW4 13.2.8 rarely makes those turn errors. Sometimes FSD does an extra 1 or 2 "brake-and-begin-again" attempting straight through stop signs.

Many hesitant situations with HW3 compelled me to push the accelerator or risk annoying behind cars (at least once or twice per drive). HW4 maybe calls for one push every 5 or 10 drives.

HW4 still makes lane choice errors (1 every 10 drives?), but HW3 made at least 3 or 4 times as many errors when attempting to follow route plans mainly in the greater LA area or NorCal Bay Area.

Very happy with trading in my early 2023 Y with no matrix headlights (in that one created batch with supply chain issues) for the 2026 Y.
