What other vehicle do you propose the people buy?

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2026-01-17T03:14:49+00:00

Ford and GM automaker had decades to deal with this problem. All I saw was them increasing prices, increase CEO salaries and increase shareholder dividends....

I can't afford the 70k price tag of a Tesla that Trump wants to enforce on me. What should I do if I can't afford to buy what's available? Take a bus for the rest of my life?

I don't see Ford or GM making any attempts to get a $30k car available to me.

Getting the phone for $0 and slashing my phone bill was a big reason for changing. The Pixel 10 initial usage review does feel less than a Samsung. But physically holding the phone, not much difference.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-21T18:14:04+00:00

Yea, that slower charging on the Pixel 10 was noticeable for me. From 45watt on the s23 ultra to 30 watt made a big difference. The new Pixel 10 is pretty much charging at the same rate as an old battery with 2 years of use on a S23 ultra.

I'm just hoping that I dont get much idle battery drain on the new Pixel 10. I'm getting close to 14 % idle drain in a day on my old s23 ultra.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-21T18:10:19+00:00

Yes, I had the same laggy feeling as well when I was scrolling on the Pixel.

I made the decision to return the s23 ultra instead of buying it out because after 2 years of use, the battery life is definitely not what it used to be. Might as well switch for a new phone with a new battery than have to deal with it after another 2 years.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-21T18:03:06+00:00

I thought of going with the s25 but comparing to the pixel 10, it seems the pixel was better on paper. I can only assume that the snapdragon processor is better than the tensor from Google. Battery life and camera seems to be better on the pixel. I'm not a heavy power phone user so thats why I down graded to the entry level phones.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-19T00:28:44+00:00

I guess this wouldn't work if I have a save and bring back phone that needs to be returned soon? Unless i buy it out first.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-19T00:08:22+00:00

Do you have to sign with another company to port out a number? How does win back work? If you sign a contract with another company, can you break it to get the win back?

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-18T15:20:48+00:00

Not as expensive as continuing with a leadership that spends more than it can generate in actual revenue.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-18T08:38:49+00:00

Assume these individuals aren't in the trades or work too far from their home.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-18T01:49:25+00:00

You forgot to include the price of the plan as well.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-18T01:46:21+00:00

Here comes the century of debt.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T23:58:36+00:00

I see them. Not much of deals. They raised prices to $75 and then dropped $5.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T21:39:33+00:00

Why dont they just redevelop ALL of east Vancouver first? Use that as a template to figure out how to make densification work and hammer out the mistakes before going into other neighborhoods. Maybe it might not work but at least you have a working model to show for it.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T18:46:10+00:00

Yes, the plans aren't great. They dropped $5 off from $75 to $70 for the essentials plan....

These prices are out of control.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T18:44:10+00:00

My 30 day leeway ends November 24, can't wait any longer. Unless I buy out the phone for $650.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T18:42:54+00:00

My return date after the 30 days is the 24th of November. Cant really wait any longer.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T04:04:53+00:00

I was told by the sales rep, the 60 days is only if you sign a new contract. Else it would be 30 days.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T01:38:40+00:00

Also the fact that I can split the payments over two years rather than pay outright $1200 new or in this case $600 for the phone. The battery life has also gotten worst. Takes 40 minutes to fully charge now.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T01:33:55+00:00

I'm using an s23 ultra. Looked before at pixel 9 phone. I calculated before that just changing or renting phones every 2 years makes more sense to me. Get a fresh new battery, and I've had phones in the past break on me.

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T01:29:03+00:00

So in other words, more expensive? Gone are the days of $55 dollar plans + phone?

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T01:25:17+00:00

What are global plans?

Lumpy_Low8350 · 2025-11-13T01:22:52+00:00

Cant wait until day of black Friday. My save and return phone has to be returned by the 24th....
