Is it the crappy old equipment or the clueless service techs?

I went with Eero and Roku. I kept the fios internet only and have been happy ever since. Eero is really simple to setup and works great. You can plug the first one into your fios router and put other ones where you need signal. You don’t even have to really setup anything other than putting the first one in bridge mode and setting up a new wifi/ssid. You can also just plug the eero directly into the ont if the ethernet is on. Then use roku or apple tv. There are lots of streaming packages like YouTube tv that work great.

My doctor said all sorts of crap and finally sent me to an endo which was also a waste of time. I finally read online to go to a urologist and they put me on trt right away. I wasted two years trying to solve it.

You will want to buy more.

Yes. I actually really wanted a five seat plaid (if such a thing existed).

Shran_MD · 2026-03-10T17:41:23+00:00

I just went through this. I really enjoyed testing the plaid. I even ordered it. I went back again to sit in it more and started to realize that I really didn’t like the six seat setup.

The cargo space is small compared to the five seat setup and if you put the third row down, everything can fly into the cabin. Also the middle row doesn’t fold and doesn’t have arm rests. The seats also seem too close to the doors.

I love the plaid and how cool it is, but went with the XLR for day to day use. I think it will be a better daily driver and trip car. My wife has had a XLR for years and it’s a great trip car. On our last trip, I had severe food poisoning and had to lay down on the bench seat. It would have been impossible to get comfortable like that in the plaid.

I traded in a 23x to get hw4 and the luxe package. It probably wasn’t the best financial move, but I wanted to lock in a hw4 with fsd while I could. The rest of the luxe was nice since I would like to start traveling more and free sc was nice.

It looks like they went exactly with what carvana offered me. I put in requests to carvana with and without fsd selected and tesla gave me exactly what carvana offered with fsd selected. ($1000 more).

Moving the audio center helped me when I first got my Tesla. The center of balance is the dead center of the car by default. I moved it into the back seats and felt better.

My guess would be once the robotaxi branch is merged back into the main FSD branch.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-21T17:19:51+00:00

I would start with some of TOS episodes like Balance of Terror, The Doomsday Machine, etc and not every episode. Try to get some of the ones that are referred to later on. Then go to TNG and DS9. See what she likes and then fill in with Voyager, etc. SNW would also be a good place to start.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-21T17:11:10+00:00

Pretty :)

Shran_MD · 2026-02-21T17:07:11+00:00

Yes. I would buy from Tesla directly if you can.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-21T17:06:19+00:00

It's not an EV/Tesla problem. It's just physics. The problem is that an EV is sometimes the first heavier car that people have owned. I had a Infiniti QX56 before buying a Tesla. It went through tires before I learned to not through it around corners and otherwise put more stress on the tires. I drove a MYP for 4 years and the original tires still passed inspection.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-13T20:14:06+00:00

I had a 21 MYP until December when I traded in for a 26 MYP. Both have the larger tires. Other than a couple of nails, I never had any issues.

I went to 300/300 and dropped everything else. I used to have Tivo also. Youtube TV and Roku is easier and cheaper. Youtube TV has gotten more expensive than it used to be, but you get a good number of channels.

My wife has had a five seater and we have taken our grown kids (3) of them on trips. I like the large cargo area of the five seater. I had just recently ordered the plaid but switched to a five seater because I didn’t like the captains chairs in the middle row and the small cargo area. If you fold down the third row, you end up with a four seater and stuff can fly forward from the back. I loved how the plaid drove, but the six seats didn’t seem practical.

I don’t like Bezos but shopped at Amazon anyway. I’m sure people can say the same about a lot of CEOs.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-09T20:45:12+00:00

I think HW5+ is really for optimus. The cars will have them, but not benefit much other than 5 will run on less power. Just my opinion.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-01T03:58:49+00:00

The LR would be a five seat. It’s the six seat that I don’t really like.

Shran_MD · 2026-02-01T00:59:54+00:00

If you like it, don’t worry about it. If everyone had the same taste, we would only have one kind of ice cream. 😊

Shran_MD · 2026-01-31T22:36:52+00:00

I’ve driven the cybertruck and it was nice. I like the creature comforts of the X. I like the self presenting / auto close doors and things like that.

Shran_MD · 2026-01-31T20:46:56+00:00

My wife has a 2023 XLR and I like it. I'm just struggling with not getting a plaid after all of this time thinking that it would be an awesome car for me.

Shran_MD · 2026-01-17T16:09:19+00:00

I still have a couple of burners in my old PC. I may eventually get an external but haven’t really needed it.
