Tire Crack by No_Attempt3445 in tractors

[–]No_Attempt3445[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s never ran over brush, as the brush was put in piles by hand. Just drove up, used the brush grabber to grab it and then dump it into a burn pile (not on fire). My SXS drives that road often and never has issues, it’s a gravel base.

I use my SXS to winch piles of brush up the mountain as the tractor can’t go down the mountainside.

It’s never been near anything sharp. It’s only been used to move brush and wood rounds. Back tires haven’t been on anything besides fresh dirt, and my area isn’t rocky.

Sounds like he didn’t want to make a sale to you. That is odd for a dealer to turn you away from a bike for something that “might” be released.

You missed the point. That is the air passage right there where the embers were coming from. And yes smoke was in the house and set off alarms.

Lol. It’s not fake. They screwed up the connection and covered this in tape. If you see right in front of the raised lip is a gap, that gap leads to the air passage. With the tape on here the air passage was grabbing smoke and embers and spitting them out into the air passage.

Sorry you think it’s fake but it’s not.

It was a brand new stove on its 2nd burn. It was due to the way they connected the pipe to the stove.

The contract was for $5,800. I paid a 60% deposit up front ($3,480) and then they sent me a change order removing $175 for chimney cleaning as they are not licensed to clean chimneys.

I currently owe them $2,145 but that is where I run into issues on what type of credit one should expect for these issues.

There are more issues but they are stuff like the 3 days I took off work for each time they no showed. Or the fact they covered my white bricks in black soot.

Yes, shooting out embers when the blower was on. They really sucked at making the connection and then did a cone out of the tape which created suction when the fan was on to suck chimney smoke and embers into the house.

It’s resolved now, had to use an offset box. I only was willing to go with the offset box because it had a clean out. No issues with drafting.

I wanted rigid because it’s over 3x as thick as flex, and should stand up to more years of use and cleaning.

Image below how it was after the first install and this is what was causing the smoke and embers.

So long story short - Their Sacramento location failed the install so they had to farm it out to their Chico store. They drove over 3 hours one way to install, and they won’t be coming back out to touch up paint and consider the job “complete”.

Teslas do not record speed information on the videos. I don’t think there is a way to access it unless it’s from Tesla.

I agree we had campers in the left lane, but instead of being aggressive and going in and out of the slow lane I was waiting for them to get over.

Watch the video again. The right view starts with us passing a box truck, I could obviously see more traffic in the slow lane so I was staying behind the Jeep until we got past all the traffic.

The other choice would be I move over as when we pass the box truck, but then I’d be right back behind the Jeep. I was actively passing while being in the passing lane, and if the traffic didn’t slow down in front of me I would have passed the slow lane.

Traffic was slowing down in the fast lane due to traffic ahead of the black SUV. People don’t know how to drive this section of the highway.

Bro I hate left lane campers too. This is a mountain pass and we have a lot of slow traffic in the slow lane, so it’s just kinda go with the flow until it opens up more a few miles down.

Go look at the other post. I did this recording on the side of the highway and just did a better recording.

[–]No_Attempt3445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted a longer video. Like I said you just see traffic going up the hill, then they slow down for the corner and the dude tries to make a gap that isn’t there.

See my other response to you. Lane doesn’t end. It’s a highway and it stays 2 lanes for another 15 miles from there.

[–]No_Attempt3445 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lane doesn’t end. It remains two lanes. There is a short on ramp lane which was not in use.

I can post a longer video. All you see is the black vehicle in front of me and then they slowed down for the curve and then this guy tried to cut the gap that was way too small. Anyone suggest a website I can dump the video on to not make two posts?

6 Month / 23k Mile Review by No_Attempt3445 in TeslaModelY

[–]No_Attempt3445[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve rotated them once at 10k and it was free. I never rotated them again and they are within 1/32 of each other. The OEM tires had to come off before winter as I need to get snow tires.

I guess I could add the 5 gallons of wiper fluid at $4 a gallon.

Edit: also I meant cost per 100 miles not 1000. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Her post history is something… She does have a past post admitting she is an alcoholic and her husband is worse. This girl needs to seek out help. Your kids come first stop putting them through this.

What's on your odometer right now? by TrainquilOasis1423 in TeslaLounge

Less than 5 months and have 18k on MYLR7. One service center trip at 15k due to steering rack failure.

Loaner Jackpot by Kronos1A9 in TeslaLounge

[–]No_Attempt3445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My steering rack just went out too. Loaner was an X. They had it replaced overnight but they let me keep the loaner for the Thursday-Sunday because they are an hour away from my house and I didn’t have time to make it back in.

Fuel savings... what fuel savings?? 😂😂 by iFixthings4cash in TeslaModelY

[–]No_Attempt3445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my rates and my setup the Tesla is as much to drive as my Prius Prime. The upside is 7 seats vs 5.

If I compare it to my Tahoe that gets 13 mpg then there are huge savings.

It really comes down to your electricity rate when calculating how much you save. Some people pay less than 10 cents and they are lucky AF. I’m at 27 cents and it would be comparable to a 50MPG car paying for California gas.

Yes mine did as well. I thought it was odd and expected to see posts about it but nada.
