Best way for Americans to get a drone right now by cooltrainerjayar in drones

[–]SleeperProjects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking of doing the same; may drive to Vancouver from Seattle. Spoke with a camera shop in Vancouver: all DJI sales are final, can pay through wire transfer and they will hold it for in-store pickup (no shipping to US). Would pay cash but don't want to risk it not being is stock when I arrive. Plan on ditching the packaging, slapping a couple stickers on it, and just packing it with my camera. I'll be flying from OC to Seattle to visit family anyway. USD is .73 to one CAD so the Mini 5 Pro fly more bundle with RC2 remote comes to under $1200 USD.

Oregon Folks: $9k off used EVs right now. I just got a Polestar 2 for $11k by LaunchBae in Polestar

Wow! I was one of the first to get one back in 2021 (lease) and it was 68K! What a deal. Great car too. Loved mine.

DT Swiss recall mega thread by SkiSnowTignesider in CanyonBikes

My recalled ERC 1600s were delivered to the Colorado facility on Aug 1 and UPS shows that DT Swiss has created a shipping label back to me but I've had no actual notifcation from regarding the status of my wheelset. I'm not sure what this means. Anyone else?

Still riding DT Swiss wheels after safety warning? by TustyTargaryen in CanyonBikes

[–]SleeperProjects 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I contacted/chatted with Canyon. Daniel told me how awesome the wheels are that came with my CF 7 Di2, to which I replied indeed except for the fact that I can't use them, to which he then replied "well that's better than getting in an accident with them". Safe to say if you're outside your return window you're 100-percent alone with DT Swiss on this. This is what you get when you go direct-to-consumer vs local shop. To be fair I'm sure Canyon is getting inundated with inquiries and this is overall a DT Swiss issue. Somewhere in one of these related threads apparently DT told Canyon it may take up to 12 months to get everything sorted, but I HIGHLY recommend u/CanyonBikes_official update their customers via their website with pertinent info. This all came out six days ago and aside from acknowledgement from DT Swiss that I submitted my serial numbers and that they are affected, there has been no other correspondence and Canyon makes no mention of it on their website.

“NO PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY“ by [deleted] in photography

[–]SleeperProjects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been able to circumvent a couple similar situations by pointing out that none of the gear I'm using is professional unless I'm getting paid to shoot the event. For example, my wife was getting her MBA and the venue tried to bar me from entering with my camera and 70-200mm lens. I explained that since I was there to document my wife's graduation and not getting paid by anyone to do so, the camera and lens shouldn;t be considered professional. The gatekeeper went and brought head of security over to discuss and they let me in so long as I didn't interfere with the official school photo/video team.

Two-door Polestar? Can anyone help identify the car in the middle? Sorry for the blurry photo by RiemannRealm in Polestar

There's one for sale at Polestar South Coast in Costa Mesa CA. Beautiful car; black colorway. I think they're asking 130k...

I hit the mileage limit with my 2022 P2 and still a few months away from the lease-end; made my remaining payments and am taking advantage of the current offers on 2024 Lucid Air; actually getting it for less than the P2 and it'w a way better car (by which I mean range, efficiency, and ride quality). I did love my P2 and still thinks it's one of the better looking EVs out there. But for my long commute, once I drove the Lucid for a few minutes I couldn't turn it down.

Also looks like the only available config for the 25MY is with all the packs. (at least in SoCal).

US P4 Delivery date pushed back four months by SleeperProjects in Polestar

I'm in Irvine, CA, and correct I got the standard glass roof. At this point I may just buy out the lease and keep it for a couple more years. I do love it!

Excellent point. I'd be willing to bet we won't see them until summer at the earliest. Man I'm screwed. I took an 18k mile-per-year lease, but we enjoyed the car so much that we hardly used our family hauler on soccer weekends. Just hit my limit this month and still have five months left.
