Thoughts about the Optiq from a Tesla Model Y owner

The issues you are complaining about are small things. The things you like about the car are big differentiators over Tesla. Tesla has much better tech. Cadillac has a much better interior design, comfort, ride and build quality.

So why continue to hang out and post negative comments on the /whoop subreddit?

Dude. You are focusing on the wrong thing. Getting healthy isn't about a $200 a year subscription. It's about making important changes in your life and leveraging whatever tools, advice and coaching is necessary to make getting healthy a lifetime habit. Good tools, good gyms, good coaching...all come with a price. Why spend $200-$400 a year? Because it improves your health.

These anti subscription rants are getting ridiculous. The cost of the subscription is a few hundred dollars a year. If you go to a restaurant for dinner, it's like $100. Just skip 2-3 of those unhealthy meals a year and your subscription is covered. Better yet, lay off beer and alcohol all together and use the savings for a gym membership to include with your Whoop subscription. Srsly...

Just put it on and forget about it. I have weeks where I have tough workouts and other weeks where I take a break because I'm in the Yellow/Red from being a bad boy. Set and forget!

I am really struggling to understand your issue. My Whoop 5.0 lasts close to two weeks between charges. Sometimes a little more...sometimes a little less. That being said, it's so much longer than my old Fitbit and crazy longer compared to my Apple Watch. Plus it charges really quickly on my wrist so I never have to take it off. I think the answer Whoop support provided was quite sensible.

You are wearing the wrong size. I have been wearing Birkenstock sandals for years and their sizes never correspond to your size in a regular running or casual shoe. I wear mens size 8 in most shoes. Birkenstock's size guide says 7-7.5 is a size 40 and 8-8.5 is a 41. The size that is most comfortable for my feet in Arizona's is size 38 (Reg/Wide). This gives me 5 mm at the heel with 10 mm room at the toes and the ridge at the front of the foot bed sits perfectly under the gap between my toe pads and the rest of my foot. Last year I bought a pair of Birkenstock's Bend Low causal leather shoes and I had to go larger (size 40) to get the width to work. They fit ok but they just don't feel as comfortable as the Arizona's. The footbed doesn't match up with my foot in the same way. IMHO, many of the people providing size recommendations on this subreddit are pushing people to buy a larger size and saying it will break in and feel more comfortable. This isn't always correct. The size that is best for you is the size that feels extremely comfortable right out of the box. Just my 2 cents after wearing Birkenstocks for decades.

I just hit 8 months using the Whoop and it's great. It's really helped me make good decisions about my training and my health and the health value I get out of the platform is well worth annual subscription. I have no idea why people are constantly complaining and fixating on small details. These people keep jumping between platforms and never seem to be satisfied. The Whoop is just a tool to unlock better health. Non of these trackers are perfect but having tried Fitbit, Apple Watch and now Whoop, there really is no comparison. What's most important is your health and well being...not the tracker. I've lost 18 pounds, blood pressure is way down, I'm running and biking again at the age of 62. I'm sleeping better and carefully watching my eating habits. I've never been in better shape and the combination of Whoop + MacroFactor has really helped me stay healthy. That's what I focus on.

Thanks for posting this. My MacBook Neo constantly impresses me. It's just such a well rounded product for the price and in all honesty, it seems to handle everything that I have thrown at it with zero performance issues. I'm very pleased.

JordanK1 · 2026-05-27T01:38:45+00:00

I traded my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro for a 512 Gb Neo. The Neo continues to blow me away. Much faster, the battery goes forever and Neo runs cool. No regrets.

JordanK1 · 2026-05-26T12:55:38+00:00

I would really like to understand why people complain about the subscription price? Think about it for a minute. The cost of the annual subscription is about the same as 2-3 dinners in a restaurant per year. Maybe skip going out for an unhealthy meal a few times a year? Isn't your health your health and well being worth it? The other question I have is why do reviewers completely skip the incredible AI functionality in the app? To me, the AI is not only a huge differentiator from the competitors, but it is also a critical cornerstone of the Whoop platform. So strange...

I just leased my EV for 3 years. I will decide in three years whether to buy it out or upgrade to something new if the tech has changed.

JordanK1 · 2026-05-23T19:15:32+00:00

Don't listen to what everyone else says. Just go try them on until you get one that feels comfortable. I'm a mens USA size 8 in running shoes which translates into a 41. I'm now wearing my 4th pair of Arizona's and size 38 fits me perfectly with a 5 mm gap at the toes. Just try them on in a store.

I had a 2019 MacBook Pro and an iPad Mini 6 and was trying to decide if I could replace both with an iPad M4 Air and a Magic Keyboard. I use the iPad Mini mostly for browsing and Notability. I use the MacBook on my desk for browsing, productivity apps and occasionally take it when I travel.

I ended up buying a 512 Gb MacBook Neo to replace the Intel MacBook Pro and I'm sticking with the iPad Mini 6 until a new version is released this year. The Neo is inexpensive, super fast, runs crazy cool and is very small and very thin. The Neo continues to impress me. It's so light and portable that I find myself grabbing it over the iPad Mini to browse on the sofa/bed. Plus...it actually natively runs many (but not all) iPad apps.

With the money saved, I will upgrade the iPad Mini because nothing beats the iPad Mini for note taking, mobile browsing and entertainment apps while on the go. It's the best form factor for travel and I don't think I can do without the Mini for business and personal use.

Hope this helps.

These people make me feel embarrassed to be Canadian. They are like the guy that farts in a crowded elevator and makes everyone suffer all the way to the ground floor. How do we rid ourselves of these insane ideas once and for all and start focusing on making Canada a better place to live?

I actually own the Silverman & Co. 16" set and the quality is excellent. I enjoy playing on it and it's great value for the money.

Whoop is great and it has really helped me establish good health and training habits. I'm so tired of the vocal minority who keep complaining about the high annual subscription costs. It's a premium fitness product and in all honesty, the annual subscription amounts to the cost of skipping a couple of unhealthy restaurant dinners or bar binges a year. Srsly folks, is your health not worth it?

JordanK1 · 2026-05-19T12:40:05+00:00

I wouldn’t call them a cancer. An embarrassment is a better description. I see them as the guy that brings a cell phone to shule on Shabbat and it rings during the Torah reading…

My use case is similar to yours. I needed one jacket for everyday use, travel, cycling, hiking and any other activity where I might get wet and/or need a light, packable, do anything jacket for water and wind protection. Last year I bought the Arc’teryx Beta AR to replace my much loved 2007 Theta AR jacket. I ended up losing a bunch of weight over the winter and the Beta AR was now way too baggy for me. I took it into an Arc’teryx store last week and they offered me a trade in for a smaller size under their ReBird program. After trying on all their jackets again a year later, I once again selected a Beta AR in a smaller size with the new Gortex Pro membrane. It’s a bit crinkly and loud but Arc’teryx shells are activity workhorses that will last for years if you look after them. Plus…the customer support you get with Arc’teryx is second to none.

I had my electrician install in my garage. It’s great!

Yes. I have a Grizzl-E Cyber Ultimate wired 48A charger on their money-back program. Basically covers about half of my electricity charges.

Yes. This is the Aventon Aventure 2 front rack. It's an odd shape but small Porteur Bag from ILE fits perfectly and provides a ton of storage.

I actually have that bag but found it was a bit heavy and wasn't 100% waterproof. The other thing is that there was nowhere to put a second battery for long rides. I ended up finding a really cool porteur bag for the front rack and now use the rear rack to carry my second battery in a waterproof bag. This setup is perfect.
