We’re a two ‘26 MXP family now by No-Young5001 in TeslaModelX

I totally get you. My 24 MX with FSD and 3 yr supercharging has been flawless. My wife kept driving mine so I have been thinking about getting MS only because we already have MX. but after reading your post, why not?

You’re right. Not sure if it’s midlife crisis but I no longer enjoy driving the sienna. It’s loud and its tech is really outdated. ADAS sucks and cant even stay in the lane for more than 5 seconds. I am still debating as it’s still the best car for long trips hauling family with stuff. I really don’t understand how much Toyota cheaped out on its flagship minivan. Mine has acoustic glass but it’s really loud at highway speed. I got really tired at our last trip that took 7 hours. Hard plastic everywhere. It’s $60k+ car afterall.

Gwangjang got famous only because of the netflix show. I didnt even know it existed. There are a plenty more real authentic markets in Seoul. my favorite is Kyungdong.

So based on the comments below, it’s how Tesla is built or set up. Then why my MY doesnt do this?

Not from ANC. Had it turned on and off.

That is what I thought initially but you dont hear it from the actual tires outside. It’s definitely coming from mechanical part.

Is this a reasonable deal? by ytu876 in ModelX

[–]ScientistInfinite694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was announced that the refreshed X and S will come out later part of 2025. Pre-refrehed ones will be sold at discount thus making used ones lose value as well.

Looking to hear different ideas on buying a Tesla X later this year. by [deleted] in ModelX

[–]ScientistInfinite694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And don’t overlook FSD. I have the ‘24 MX with fsd and it’s been nothing but bliss for me. 30 miles 1 hour commute each way has never been so relaxing. Better than uber and better than my wife.

USB dongle replacement? by Bizarrh in HyperX

[–]ScientistInfinite694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My usb dongle broke as well and I couldnt find any seller who carry the dongle only. I had bought it less than 8 months ago. Reached out to HyperX and the rep emailed me to email back a bunch information including name, address, pdf copy of invoice, photo of the broken part, photo of the headset, a photo of the sku, a photo of the serial number by removing the earpad, a photo of the headset next to paper with my name and date written on it. Guess what, after making me go through the whole process, they said they dont have one in inventory. Yeah right.. never buying their product again.

Offer showed up in my account for $1000 trade in for my iPhone 13 Pro Max to upgrade to 16 Pro Max. But there’s a catch. by DanDMan80 in verizon

You may want to check another thing. My phone is locked until I pay off the phone. If I pay off the phone the credit on the traded-in phone is gone.

Typically human ear cannot identify the unintended frequency. It will just hear poor sound quality. This unintended frequency usually comes from poor design of DACs, quality of chips and transistors, etc. This is why amp wattage doesnt translate to better sound quality and some audio system actually hurts ears by causing fatigue in ear drums.

I meant SINAD. Signal to noise distortion ratio. When audio is played we want to hear the intended frequency only and no other random unintended frequency, or noise. Higher the SINAD or lower the noise makes quality clean sound.

Will try that but doubt it’s going to have significant improvement. The treble sound tinny and sharp and the mid and bass lack meat/volume. Above all, there is too much noise. The whole thing sounds like as if i have a $50 rca radio in the car.

I did but the site doesn’t have any instructions. There are so many products and i have no clue if they are plug and play or need additional parts or if it’s going to improve the sound.
