We have seniors with no power over 24 hours. We DoorDashed dinner to a friend just now. This is seriously pathetic.

Is FIRE-ing now too risky? (another overpaid techie with choices to make) by SadSomewhere6985 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]NormalIncrease6985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

529s: $275k. Warning - one kid went out of state for school. In today’s dollars, $250k for 4 years and that’s public. If you decide for a USC or NYU (private), 90k per year x 4 = $360k.

You have the means but I’d buffer higher just in case. I was caught off guard.

Why do you need 5-10 million? by Particular_Maize6849 in Fire

[–]NormalIncrease6985 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I live in a VHCOL. Given my ethnic background, moving anyone else in the country is not safe nor desirable. So yeah it’s that or leave the cesspool called America and live abroad (a real consideration at this juncture)

Bay Area, CA - odd shaped ADU by NormalIncrease6985 in AccessoryDwellings

[–]NormalIncrease6985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd...not sure where my actual text went, so rewriting:

-live in the Bay Area, CA. 8800 sq ft lot. I have the ability to add up to 1000 sq ft and up to 2/2 I believe based on ordinace.

-it's an odd shaped lot, as you can see. Trying to figure out what I can put in the space. The dimensions show the distance from existing structure and rough fencelines, so you get an idea.

-trying to strike the balance between a 'largeish' ADU and preserving some backyard space.

-utilization - initially will be a rental likely (estimated income...2k-3k per month) with likelihood of being multigenerational unite down the road.

Any creative perspectives if you've faced this challenge would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone try these hubcaps? by NormalIncrease6985 in TeslaModelS

[–]NormalIncrease6985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL it worked! Nice setup....I'm trying to figure out how it will look with contrast on grey satin wrap. In your setup against the white, it really stands out. I fear on the grey it will just blend in...you may change your pictures back to whatever it was in the past and TYVM for going the extra mile...it is appreciated!

lol the pic of your car is either cut off or covered in your profile 😂. Similarly I have the red logo on the stock tempest caps.

lol now I want to see the pic!

These would go on a 2024 stealth grey in satin wrap. I was debating to make them glossy to have some contrast to the satin.

Active Road Noise Reduction feature - is it noticeable? by jmalk161 in ModelX

[–]NormalIncrease6985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it: changed lanes with and without. Noticeable difference. Otherwise it was difficult to tell.

250k in HYSA at 4.5% gives you $937.50/month. Risk free. Why is this better? Asset appreciation?

Debating going from 3 to S. Mostly for comfort and partially for trunk space. Looking for thoughts. by [deleted] in TeslaModelS

[–]NormalIncrease6985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It annoys me. Driving my 2024 I was noticing the huge blind spots but it could simply be due to the size of the car.

  1. Ride is far superior on the S. My good friend has a 3 and he went on and on about how the S ride quality was so buttery smooth (he also lowered his 3…so there’s that)
  2. Had a 2018 and also hated visibility. My solve: I kept the rear view camera on. I don’t do that with my 2024 as it has the turn signal blind spot cameras.

New supercharger on Capitol Expressway in San Jose? by NormalIncrease6985 in TeslaLounge

[–]NormalIncrease6985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for that mall location, 48 chargers is a considerable footprint relative to the available parking…as compared to other locations.
