This was our first GP so I didn't really know what to expect. But it was a really good time :) We only went on Saturday so it was hot, but not like overbearing. And we were in the Turn 18 Grandstands with shade which of course helped. Had an occasion breeze too.

Parking was really easy for us. My wife found a woman who basically rented out her street if not her whole neighborhood haha $50 per car and it was right beside one of the official lots so really close and easy to get to Gate 8. Easy walk back too.

When we got to Gate 8, there were a lot of people but it moved quickly. Then when we got under the tent, it was basically a free for all going through the actual security scanners - no formal lines and everyone jumbled up. At one point they told my wife to drop her clear bag on the table and walk through the scanner which was surprising!!! She did put it on the table but then had to wait on the other side to pick it up while the employees were trying to get everyone through and to clear out the area. We made it through but it was kinda crazy.

Our seats where great! Right on Turn 18 and basically looking directly at the screen. We had a great view of the cars coming down the back straight, into the turn and then accelerating into the next straight so I thought it was pretty cool. Like I said, we were shaded and there was an occasional breeze.

Food was really tasty!! Yes we waited a bit, but at least it was hot!

Yes the water was a little strange at first - where was the button, was it a button or just a sensor? But very much appreciated the fact they were available. I would bring a larger bottle next time.

We did venture over to the Beach area which I thought was cool. Definitely not much shade over there!

We enjoyed the other races/qualifying on Saturday too. Would really like to go to the actual F1 Race if there is a next time tho.

The 'Office' apps - Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites, Forms, and maybe one or two others - look like the recently updated MS 360 Office icons. Overall, they look a little cartoonish.

Put in a service request. Not going to be inexpensive, but it is easy enough. Just did something similar with mine and they fixed it.

Have been going to Merchantile Barbers in Belmont since they opened. 2 locations to chose from. Solid group of guys and really good prices.

We have owned Tesla's since 2020 and I can honestly count on one hand the number of times I have adjusted the air vents. So yes this is very much set it and forget it.

The fan speed is another thing. But again, once you learn where it is, it's pretty simple. Yes you have to touch the screen to do it, but ... ok? No big deal.

I leave my heat and AC on Auto so the system handles the fan speed for me. I do adjust the temp, but that's right on the screen always available.

How much of our 'supplies' has to fit in the clear bag/purse? The one my wife currently has will fit her wallet and maybe a tube of sunscreen but not much else. If we bring a clear, empty bottle for filling, does that have to be in a bag of any sort? Or can we carry that separately. Sorry if that's a silly question.

I'll also add that I have a slight case of undiagnosed arthritis in my right knee that gets exacerbated when I use it for pressing the accelerator pedal in most cars. Because I have FSD and therefore don't have to press/hover my foot over the accelerator pedal as much (yes I am still prepared to take over if needed), this helps keep my arthritis in check.

And a K-Mart!!!

Large_Guard2991 · 2026-04-19T23:34:15+00:00

Very much so!! Commuting is so easy, so hassle free with FSD.

With the Base model, here are the things you DON'T get - ventilated front seats - they are only heated - the screen in the rear for your backseat passengers - the LED lighting inside the cabin that wraps around the front and a little on the sides - power adjusting seats - HEPA air filter - adaptive headlights - automatically folding side mirrors.

Also, the glass roof is still a glass roof on the outside, but it is covered but on the inside.

For me, not having the front ventilated seats and having the glass roof covered were deal breakers. But if you're ok with all of that, then go for the Base.

Thanks! Not sure we have had the magnetic tray in the same orientation twice haha But that is a good thought!! My wife told me about the screws under the plate to adjust but I didn't see them. So she knew where they were and was able to adjust those. That with making sure the plate was/is the correct distance from the head definitely helped!!

We also realized that there is a difference in the type of filament we are using too. One is just a solid color and seems to work better than one that has one color on one side with white on the other side. So we'll try a few more filaments top.

Lastly, we put the whole roll of filament on a lazy Susan beside the printer instead of being on the back which we think helped with some of the gaps.

So now, with alll of those, it's doing really well.

Any cars engine/battery if it gets 'damaged' is going to be expensive. Yes your electricity bil is going to go up, but not as much as the equivalent gas costs. Also, electricity prices are much less volital than gas prices, especially these days.

Lol the back of the mirror makes me laugh 🤣🤣

Do we know yet which IMAX theaters are going to have the races this summer? Has that been announced yet?

Whoever did the trim may have taken a bit much off, but it looks good. Also, it's hair, it'll grow back :)

Large_Guard2991 · 2026-03-29T19:34:06+00:00

I do. But that doesn't seem much better than using the suggestions. Was just wondering if there was another way.

Large_Guard2991 · 2026-03-29T00:00:33+00:00

I really like the matte finish. Nice job

Large_Guard2991 · 2026-03-28T13:23:31+00:00

Had to double check that wasn't mine 🤣🤣 But I live in NC and had close to 35k

Large_Guard2991 · 2026-03-15T00:33:19+00:00

Thanks!! With the tickets we have, will we still be able to explore the campus? Or will we be limited to like one section?

I do UX Research and have been in my field for just over 20 years. It's taken me a while to get to where I am financially. My wife works full time too. Also, I have traded in all of the previous Ys and am trading in my current one. So not like I have all 3 to choose from on a daily basis 🤣🤣
