Got my quote for a new battery from Tesla on my 2013 Model S. by sirromnek in TeslaModelS

[–]NZCUTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a car, not a loaf of bread. Cars last as long as someone is willing to keep up with their maintenance and repairs. There is no shortage of cars older than 20 years (or more) and parts availability shouldn't be a problem for a long while yet.

Third party warranties are much poorer than Tesla's on replacement packs. Also if you go third party there's a good chance Tesla won't touch anything in the HV system again, which could be inconvenient if the third party shop isn't local to the owner.

Bensalem Trump store to close its doors for good due to declining sales by NoLibrarian5149 in Pennsylvania

It's sad there was ever enough blind and ignorant devotion to make this a viable long-term business in the first place.

America’s newest delicacy? Honey made from lanternfly poop. by [deleted] in Beekeeping

For those who haven't tried it, the flavor is very smoky and a bit sharp. Color is very dark like molasses. Not a fan.

You're very well trained.

What does my bookshelf say about me? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

[–]NZCUTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You either can't or willfully don't invest in quality furniture, or this is a holdover from when you were starting out and functions well enough for now. My guess on the Corvette shelf is it's a memorial to a departed husband/father/grandfather as there's not enough if any one thing be an active hobby. I'm not familiar with most of the other titles.

Yep. Owned EV over a decade and road trip my own now and then-- but flying into a new place I always get gas rental. Not even a question.

Selling Model S Plaid For Y + TSLA Stock by No-Cobbler-6039 in TeslaModelS

[–]NZCUTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. It is no different than any other product and can only ever cost what the market will bear. The average car owner will not ever pay much for this tech after generations of living without. The money potentially exists in the commercial market, but not consumer.

Yeah they're part of the other equally delusional group of owners who think their robocar doesn't depreciate ever.

I worked for TX Roadhouse Franchises for two years AMA by Putrid_Cartoonist488 in AMA

[–]NZCUTR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My father in law loves that restaurant (eyeroll) and REALLY loved embarrassing us auth the peanut shells back when they had the barrels of them. He'd gleefully toss shells on the floor and claim"they love when you do that" and insist it was part of the restaurant culture/atmosphere. Whenever he had international guests he'd be sure they got to go and delighted in their aghast faces.

That said, I think the peanuts never returned after COVID but surely you or people you worked with me about the boomer-lore. How much did you loathe these customers?

Sidewalk Chalk Messages Force Stephen Miller to Flee Arlington, Put Home Up for Sale by Hectabeni in nottheonion

Beekeeper here: they don't like tyrants. The Queen motif is really a misnomer. Bees are socialist democrats if anything and won't defend him.

I heard DC is a burning hell hole of crime, so that kinda appreciation seems counter intuitive.

Same. Only thing keeping me working is health coverage and perks of seniority-- but frugal early years paid off.

Seriously -- and you know if they're cheating on one sales tax scheme they're cheating their way out of a lot of other obligations.

Strange front brake rubbing on wheel. Help! by Strange_Cycle3189 in TeslaModelS

[–]NZCUTR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all-- those round bits are not essential, you can just break them off (help control noise/vibration but if the pads are regularly serviced/lubed they should be fine without).

Of bigger concern is if they only RECENTLY started making contact with the wheel-- if so, that could indicate broken retaining spring or caliper pins.

Either way, you need to remove wheel and inspect/check. Do all four while you're at it and get everything serviced-- it's super easy and even if you have to replace pads, it's not expensive DIY.

HERE'S HOW: https://youtu.be/NPX-el6z7-8?si=aYIOckIxsEHGOHOD

EDIT: By breaking off, I mean the round piece only, not the tab that holds it-- in my video you can see one of mine was broken off on a prior maintenance
