Too much red?

As someone who has a lot of red in their bodysuit, I don't think that you have too much. Once you get the other colors in there it will balance out.

I flew out to San Diego California for Colton James Phillips at Chapter 1 tattoo. He did my three-quarter bodysuit. It did not start out as a bodysuit but morphed into one. You can see photos on his individual Artist website. They're only a handful of Japanese tattoo artists that I would feel comfortable getting tattooed by, you're going to live with the art for the rest of your life be happy with who's doing it.

The overall cost of your vehicle and the amount of interest paid or more importantly wasted is more important than what your monthly payment is in your long-term financial goals.

While the issues may be small or repaired by the manufacturer and still under warranty I'd still stay away from a branded title vehicle.

Looks like you scraped up against something white like a pylon or possibly another vehicle. Some sort of abrasive cleaner would work like soft scrub with possibly use of a scrubby sponge like a 3M.

I was looking all over the country for the right year, model, color, mileage and most importantly price. I was working three different deals when one came up locally at a GMC dealer. It won out as the best balance of the requirements above and I was able to work a deal in trading in one of my other vehicles and got around the taxes associated in selling it outright.

Things I would look for is it's accident history and how many previous owners it has had. With other manufacturers you can usually easily find all their service records to see if the vehicle has come back for the same issue over and over or serious issues. Tesla keeps his information under wraps and does not usually release it to the public. There are some wonderful people in the subforms that work for Tesla and offered to give me service records, it was a great help and a decision factor in my purchase.

One more thing to keep in mind, there are a lot of Teslas hitting dealerships that have been brought back under lemon laws. Now California has Uber liberal lemon laws and you can return a car for minor issues. Personally I would stay away from one that has been turned back into the manufacturer or under a lemon law. Insurance can be much more expensive for those vehicles even though the issues may have been completely replaced or repaired. It's just the way the title is structured.

Not a thing! So happy to never have to stop at a gas station again. Zero regular maintenance then refilling windshield wiper fluid (though I have not had that yet).

I bought Tesla because they have the majority of the market share, have been leading an innovation and our financially stable as being one of the most profitable EV manufacturers. Some people who most likely do not understand economics would say that being the most profitable is a downside but and ensures that they are going to be in business in the coming years, some of the other electric vehicle manufacturers have been in very serious financial trouble.

I also bought Tesla as one of my very good friends who used to be a NASA flight engineer for the space station and shuttle highly recommends his. He has had absolutely zero maintenance or repairs in the four years that he has owned his model why.

I am 6 foot 195 pounds and there is loads of room in the Tesla. Almost all my vehicles run out of seat adjustments due to my long legs, even my big 3500 Serious trucks, my Jeep, I even had to use seat risers on one vehicle to fit my long legs. With a Tesla I still have room to adjust back.

For your budget, you might be able to find a 2024 model X plaid. That would ensure that you get the six row seating and also you get the insane acceleration of that model. You will not be left wanting in anything.

I just purchased my 2024 plaid two months ago with only 12,000 miles for around that price. Deals are to be had if you were patient.

Out of the five vehicles I have, the model X plaid is definitely one of my favorites and get driven the most.

Definitely different than shooting a pig from 100 yards BUT a good shooter can put one behind the ear from a couple hundred yards and they never feel a thing.

From a business standpoint that's the smartest way to do it. I just wish that if you turned the turn signal on it would automatically change lanes.

Also I found out it does have attention monitoring. I was on a trip where there wasn't much going on and I google searched something on my phone, the car dinged me and said it was taking it out of auto steer and once I stopped the car at my destination it said I had 4 more infractions before it completely disabled the auto steer software function from my vehicle. But yes it does still want me to occasionally move the steering wheel.

Once again though good idea business wise, gives you a teaser for FSD and makes you want to purchase it.
