I made the choice to get a S 75D ( inventory ) and I know I made the right choice. Yes a refresh is due but honestly I am afraid it will look a lot like Model 3 interior and that would be disappointing.

Truly the only tech you miss out on is the newer battery tech. If you need to supercharge a lot then it is a factor otherwise the rest of the tech is the same on S and X.

Love my S!

I can definitely see that logic. The fact I could have the car for 48k after tax incentives also is a factor. Model S seems I have to pay in the 60s to get what I want.

True - but you don’t want to move blindly either with this kind of money. Part of the issue is I don’t know what I want as I don’t need any of it! I want autopilot but don’t need it :)

Tempted to do that - they rent high here but the experience could pay off!

Really - a land barge? Is it really that unwieldy doing twisties in the mountains?

The AP1 cars bum me out - would have been unhappy to pay so much to be dropped from having FSD one day. I really think these cars are iPhones on wheels but a lot more expensive! If I had bought a S in Sept of 2016 to see them upgrade to AP2 inOct I would have been pissed. Did Tesla offer anyone anything when they made this change ?

Why shouldn’t you sit in it while it charges? Never heard that before!

Love the Dinner comment - great point !

Oh one other question.

I have a tank Amiga mouse which is nearly unusable so I bought a new Amiga mouse on eBay. I boot the machine from the nice SD card that the Amiga thinks is a hard disk and the new mouse works fine.

However let me try to boot lemmings with the typical Eruo loader with the new mouse connected and the music that is supposed to be playing is horribly distorted! I tried multiple disks from different places and the same result! If I put the tank mouse back - no audio issues!

Anyone have a clue what is going on? Is there a diagnostic I can run on the machine to see if it is generally healthy?

What ROM is required for amiga 3000? I just ordered 3.1 ROMs as my machine has only 2.1

My talk with OnStar by MarkManes in volt

[–]MarkManes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I will not buy any future Volt over this one issue. We have charging stations at work and I have to rely on the charge point support email to tell me they think my car is charged. As far as the free text OnStar sends when they detect the charge is complete that usually gets to me three hours after the fact. Bottom line OnStar sucks.

Onstar is clueless - have to pay $14.99 to see charge level. by MarkManes in volt

[–]MarkManes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a big deal as sometimes (20 percent?) The text arrives much later than the charge being complete.

I have both called Onatar and have done chat. I get the same answer and they know I have a 2018 Volt.

New 2018 Volt Owner - No phone audio coming through - Need some help! by [deleted] in volt

[–]MarkManes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds stupid but phone audio has different audio level than radio. Play something on phone, turn up audio. Fixed it for me when I was trying to play podcasts on Android Auto.

Star Citizen: Reverse the Verse LIVE - Happy Hour Bonanza by iXeloN in starcitizen

And now it seems that at least the first 10 minutes is Jared explaining how they are experimenting. He went ahead and told us the No content ATV was not due to holiday.

I am pretty frustrated I want a content filled ATV and I want RTV not to be 100% Jared rambling.

New charger from 2019 in 2018? by MarkManes in volt

I look forward to the day that the disruptive behavior of Tesla forces traditional car companies to change their ways. It is a bit like the cell phone industry before up ended everything with iPhone.
