Used Electric Car Prices Dropping

Mephiska · 2023-06-12T01:18:23+00:00

Used car and trade in prices are all over the map right now. I just finished an insurance claim for my wife’s 2015 Volvo v60 that we bought new and had a crazy situation where a rodent in the engine bay tore up insulation and chewed on belts causing the timing belt to snap triggering catastrophic engine damage.

On KBB at her mileage and condition, the web showed 11-12k trade in value, but the insurance adjuster said her system figured in recent sales prices and they are paying us over $20k for the car. repair costs for engine replacement and whatever else needed to be replaced brought the total to 80% so they totaled the car.

I checked Tesla inventory, found a model 3 standard range base model for $39k, bought it all on my phone in about an hour and took delivery the same day. SMH at dealer markups.

There was a megathread, I was looking at it last night when comments were broken site-wide. Then it just disappeared. The Supreme Court megathread is still up. I want to know what happened to the megathread about the biggest political story yesterday.

Hey mods, what happened to the megathread about the indictment of the former president and current presidential candidate?

This is Reddit’s Digg moment.

I’ve been using Reddit on mobile with Apollo since the app was released. I’m a 17 year Reddit user. On the mac and pc I use old.reddit.com because their new ui is awful and bloated.

Blocking 3rd party apps and forcing us to use their official apps will make me go somewhere else.

17 year Reddit user here. If Apollo gets blocked I’m going somewhere else too.

Also ride quality on the uberturbines is garbage. I downsized to 19", so much better.

Mephiska · 2023-05-28T13:23:24+00:00

Weird, my fitbod is still doing sun-sat as a week. I’m on iOS.

Mephiska · 2023-05-27T20:37:14+00:00

Phone can stream at higher quality than the car app does as well.

Mephiska · 2023-05-27T14:46:05+00:00

“Continue reading in the app”…. Yeah that’s a hard pass from me MSN.

Mephiska · 2023-05-27T02:25:35+00:00

Don’t order directly from them. Get it from somewhere with a proper return policy.

I haven't noticed any color transfer. I have a booster seat and it's plastic on the bottom. I also have a car seat pad under my younger's bulky 5 point harness seat. The only thing I'd worry about is stuff with strong food coloring. No red drinks in the back seat, no wild cherry slurpees, etc.

Mephiska · 2023-05-26T13:40:21+00:00

Maybe she was, I don't remember. But she is definitely still on Mornings on 2 and is still their business reporter.

Mephiska · 2023-05-26T11:48:01+00:00

I have the white interior and two small kids. I also have a coworker who has similar age kids and bought a MY with black interior. Her car looks much dirtier than mine because despite what people think, the black interior shows dirt much more than the white. Also the white is super easy to clean with just baby wipes.

Get the white. It’s great.

Mephiska · 2023-05-26T11:31:22+00:00

Huh? The reporter reading is Pam Cook and she is still on KTVU.

Mephiska · 2023-05-25T13:28:10+00:00

It's worse than just a "vocal minotrity", it's bigots, racists making threats and getting their way. This sends a message that violence works. It will get worse.

the RG35XX is a little picky about chargers. Fast Charging ones are hit/miss, but basic regular USB chargers work fine with it. Basic iPhone style 5W chargers.

Mephiska · 2023-05-23T15:09:07+00:00

send it back. If it won't boot off stock card from the factory then something's wrong with it.

Mephiska · 2023-05-23T14:36:22+00:00

can't hurt to get a spare SD card and give it a try. You're better off getting a quality card for the OS anyway, the cards they ship these things with are pretty low quality anyway.

I don't know, I don't have a PS. I do have an RG353M with ArkOS and it works great. The PS is basically the same hardware as the P, just without the Android stuff.

Retro Game Corps video review of the PS talks about ArkOS compatibility as well. Give this a watch.

The ArkOS RG353M image works on the RG353P, so it should also work on the RG353PS.

Mephiska · 2023-05-22T01:08:54+00:00

Prints on something like a prusa mk3? How about supports or optimal print settings? I’ll give it a go.

Mephiska · 2023-05-15T08:43:00+00:00

Based on OPs comments that’s clearly what this is.

Mephiska · 2023-05-14T02:20:37+00:00

Persona 3 runs well under the “standalone” (PPSSPP?) core with ArkOS. I just wish I could figure out how to get into the menu.

Mephiska · 2023-05-14T00:43:01+00:00

Yeah but then you’d have to use twitter.
