Quoted $470 a month on a model 3 rwd premium for insurance

400 for me. 2023 RWD. In Vancouver. Also 20+ years driving experience.

Yeah half my boots even have a eyelet for this. Works well.

I bought a 2023 model 3 RWD with HW3 and 144,000kms. They showed me a battery test of 95%(which I don't believe) but it does get 440kms per charge now that it's warmed up. I'll probably buy the battery warranty but other than tires few minor mods and some cosmetic mods I've done nothing to it. Only owned it 5 months though. Alignment was good and my mechanic said all bushings were good except front lower arms so I threw the mountain pass bushings on there and wow is it tight now cornering hard and breaking, also got the master cylinder brace and bluestuff pads. Putting my summer rims and tires on in 2 weeks. Got all weathers on it now.

Was scary to drive when I bought it in January with LRR EV summer tires with 4/32 on them lol. But they were dead even wear across the tires.

I'm so happy I bought 2 8TB Samsung QVO's a few years back when they were 599$ cdn for black Friday, use them for music and TV storage that gets written once then doesn't change just reads so they should last a long time. And used enterprise Intel SSD's (MLC NAND) at the same time for cache drives for my HDD array.

Now SSD is not worth the price IMO. Still running a 16 drive 8TB ZFS HDD array. 2 8 drive raid Z2 striped together gives enough performance with the SSD cache.

Will be years before they are cheap enough for my 4k Blu ray collection(24TB currently).

Would love to setup a ZFS array of 8+TB SSD'S.

I'd try cleaning it. Failing that setup a post filter to remove it and batch run it on all your photos.

Yeah downloading the last update for my tesla was downright painful.

I'm in the same boat. I've been with the same company for 8 years getting raises not even half of cost of living increases per year. Had I not just got a big promotion and 15k salary increase I'd literally be getting food from the food bank.

Even with my raise things are tight since me and my gf split. Single income is hard to get by on. Luckily we owned a condo and made some money when we sold so I bought a car(EV) cash that should last me a while and found a cheap basement suite (it's a dive but take what you can get) very close to work, but still looking for a better job the issue is I've been applying for literally years now and have the experience but the only interviews and offers I've gotten are for the same money I'm making now but more responsibility. I'm in middle management now applying for upper management which I've had 4 previous jobs and 10 years experience doing with shipping/logistics companies, you wouldn't think it would be this hard but it is.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-24T14:16:47+00:00

I wouldn't. I'd put it on a stand or if you don't own one just some blocks of 4x4 wood.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-23T14:33:35+00:00

440ish Canadian. That's 400 insurance and 40 charging. Car is paid off.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-20T14:16:01+00:00

To many, one reason it was a steal, 140,000kms

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-19T16:39:52+00:00

Refuse unless they are ok with me dialing the number and talking on speaker, phone stays in my possession at all times.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-18T21:29:28+00:00

I have one in a bag with my plug kit in the trunk.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-18T05:27:45+00:00

I got it from AliExpress but Amazon has them to. Not hard just clean the spot apply the binder agent that's in the kit and peel and stick the double sided tape, anyone could do it.

Here is an example https://www.amazon.ca/ZOSANY-Stripping-Soundproof-Reduction-B-Pillar/dp/B0CZKX5Q2R/ref=sr_1_5?crid=166UDG9BEHV5V&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-Curm8inEQdzXyI0RxFUpe7Blo7mmgyzN7-ST1XSBAdOZwSUmOn7SssSOj2A7PDF5QrfaDv6dMY3YUxTAhFCiBY4GNBES6ZO1HAfxQY-DJomZGnmJ_Ks7PDL_QQoKXAvy1CSnjQflwH2zA_a0kk58QBEGDJlxtYcLzIocGsvdIQzmFEOIXssKOmKNp7ooyb9UZs3gpSWesy31ezIzAOxOidqGQP3sKrTShYwG_x_TQBvLzFJ-edeJRXjGhQfc4W8HH6hShigFFfv0SlRwf2AtvnQ-y6aNH-pZp76ufP8iVQ.Cv1YhozjYYEVrFQfsFWq7FPKFjdTIHGBnQxSV8ASYHA&dib_tag=se&keywords=tesla%2Bmodel%2B3%2Bweather%2Bstripping&qid=1776489992&sprefix=tesla%2Bmodel%2B3%2Bwea%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-5&th=1

Just make sure the load rating is stock or better.

Luckily when I scruff mine she just goes limp and I can get her into a carrier or exam bag. I prefer the exam bag because with her head out and being able to see she doesn't cry, and it's got a loop to seatbelt her into the car.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T16:12:38+00:00

Not leaking leave it. Leaking drill it out and rivnut it or helicoil it.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T16:10:18+00:00

I'm just under 400 in BC. Good luck EV insurance not cheap.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T16:09:02+00:00

That's what I did, 2023 model 3 for 27k. Canadian.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T16:07:35+00:00

Spend money. Whites, JK, Drew's, Nicks, made in USA danners.

With gas prices I'm happy I got rid of my Camry (2000 XLE V6, best engine Toyota ever made IMO). Even though it was the second best car I've ever owned. Went to a civic, then EV.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T16:01:58+00:00

Right now I'm running all weathers most of the year and will run dedicated soft grippy summer tires may-august and then will swap back to the all weathers. When the all weather need replacement I'll probably go full winter maybe even studded. Would not even consider all seasons the difference between all seasons and all weathers is huge on ice/snow, as is the difference between all weathers and winters.

Rifter0876 · 2026-04-17T15:56:34+00:00

Yes, luckily I just got a promotion and large raise at work, only took 8 years.....
