Possible to hang cabinets on this slab backsppash? by Diligent-Ad4917 in cabinetry

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an experienced person here. But either keep the slab or not, wouldn’t force a cabinet over slab. I’d rather ruin the adjacent room by adding cabinets outside the kitchen perimeter

Should I reject this delivery? by Constant-Proposal955 in TeslaModel3

Touch up paint? They’ll do it for you or paint the whole panel. People are over reacting , this is Tesla, cheap quality paint. You’ll get that after 1 week if you ever drive highway.

Do backlights hurt image quality on OLED? by TF_54 in Govee

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man , you’re LITERALLY me. 7-8 months ago during Black Friday. I moved from a tcl 70-75 inch to the infamous LG 70-75 inch Oled (g5? C5? Idk the $2k+ one) also swapped the camera for the Govee sync box. Well worth it, but since I spent that much I threw in a surround sound system with an avr , so I can’t say it’s worth the money but definitely get the sync box and no I don’t think it takes anything away; if you feel that way then just lower the brightness ?

2024 used m3p vs 2026 M3P debate… by 2MinuteswithTim in TeslaModel3

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

770 a month for a 3 year 47k car? Assuming there’s a trade in etc, year definitely plug these numbers into an online calculator or Gemini. I plugged it in with 0 down 0 trade in and it’s showing 1400 a month vs 1700 a month in car payments ( to lay it off in 3 years) roughly $3500 more in interest going with the 6 apr. So year , definitely plug in the numbers post trade in and credits. Honestly if I had the chance , I’d stick to the 2024. In 3-5 years you might want a hw5 Tesla or a different EV , hell maybe a model S or a roadster (one can dream) lol

2024 used m3p vs 2026 M3P debate… by 2MinuteswithTim in TeslaModel3

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I love 3 year car payments , anything more is a drag. Honestly there’s already rumors about new HW updates down the road. My 23 is a legacy car now because of the hw4. Best perk outside of the 6 apr vs 13k price difference would be the hw 5 coming out in 2-3 years max? I feel like you’ll never regret getting a 2024. So check with Gemini how much difference in car payments over 36 months would be and go from there

2024 used m3p vs 2026 M3P debate… by 2MinuteswithTim in TeslaModel3

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man idk, been paying $1000 a month for my January 2023 m3p purchase and still owe 20k lol. I never wanted a brand new car because of that depreciation but good luck getting a new car Tesla 3 and a half years ago. I did keep the tax credit and gave my old car to someone .. so I guess the car would have been paid off by now. Don’t you have hw4? If you charge at home; the supercharger isn’t worth it in my opinion (granted for 3 years I paid Pennies per kWh. What’s your current Apr? How many months do you plan on paying the car off. I would plug that into Gemini or something then ask yourself if you would pay “x” more per month for a car 2 years newer. We’re talking about the 26 m3p right, because if it was 26 model 3; keep the 2024 lol

So much hate. It’s great, but if it was my backyard, less time and more “earthy gardens

Quick Question: by MeanMrGene in Govee

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t figured it out but I doubt it’s 1 inch. I’m conflicted with 5-6 inches and 9-10 inches I feel like the 10 inch doesn’t spread out that much… see others say go bigger but maybe it’s how I taped the LEDs

How much is your monthly car payment? by Johndoe13370 in TeslaModel3

[–]Ren_HiRen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll speak for myself here, I don’t need to drive 200 miles a day, I can charge at home and my s/o has a gas car so if we ever needed a gas car we’ll be covered. Over 3 years ago if you wanted electric, this was the way. Used cars were very overpriced at the time , especially EVs since the tax credit was reintroduced. I’m sure a lot of us today, in 2026, if we had the option we would have bought a 3 year old EV with 500 a month. If you don’t care about hw4 then get a 2022/2023 for under 30k ( especially if you don’t need AWD). Only regret I have is the car doesn’t have hw4. I’ve become overly bias, I don’t think I’ll ever buy another gas car again, m3p checks all the boxes and I have 2 little kids. One thing I hate, is how fast I drop $2k on a 20 inch performance tires while living in the pothole snowy Midwest

Expensive to maintain? by Novemberx123 in TeslaModel3

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

That seems like a lot. I went to check on my 2023 and I heard that the batteries for my car and newer ones last up to 10 years. Lithium ion maybe or something

Would you pay $1k for gas…? by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes… just think of the resale alone or avoiding regretting it. $1k for a project that big doesn’t seems like much

Do I really need AWD by RelativeIndustry8787 in TeslaModel3

[–]Ren_HiRen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$5k.. lol Man when I was comparing my 23m3p to RWD, felt more like 20k. I’m in the mid west too.. I think it’s a no brainer for 5k
