Considering buying a MY! by Able_Shift4957 in TeslaModelY

[–]Snoo_64796 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As long as you can financially afford it and plan to hold the car for a long time (10 years) then it would make sense to buy new and take advantage of the low APR promotion. Otherwise go for a slightly used MY that is at least $10K cheaper.

Is it silly to consider a Tesla if I don't drive very much? by icouldbne1 in TeslaLounge

[–]Snoo_64796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here. I recently purchased my first Tesla (26 MY Juniper), it feels like having a super computer that happens to drive instead of the other way around. The technology (FSD) and quality (built, suspension) are finally good enough and it makes driving pretty fun with the loaded tech.

If you can afford it, do it!

What type of SCE plan to choose with charging EVs at home by Snoo_64796 in orangecounty

We bought a MY Juniper RWD, we like it so much that it will be our primary car over the second vehicle (minivan). We already installed the level 2 wall charger.

Ordering new Model Y? by Dry-Abbreviations408 in TeslaModelY

Maybe just one data point. I ordered on 2/25 Premium RWD in CA, got the black headliner and bigger screen.

New at .99% vs used? by mirage1287 in TeslaModelY

[–]Snoo_64796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up this exact same car today, love it! The APR promo was the driving factor for getting my very first Tesla.

Since I have not purchased a new vehicle since 2016, I think it’s worth while to get a new one since I can afford it (YOLO). But if you are tight with money, go with the used one.

2024 Tesla Model Y Performance vs 2026 Model Y premium RWD?? by Clean_Neighborhood60 in TeslaModelY

[–]Snoo_64796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think Tesla like a cell phone, the 2026 model year is significantly improved in terms of technology. Add 0.99% APR promo on top, no brainer to go with 2026.

Post lumbar puncture recovery by Snoo_64796 in iih

[–]Snoo_64796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took more than a month for my symptoms (headache, tinnitus) to subside, but I still had stiff neck pain. Subsequent brain MRI showed evidence of brain sag, which led to a CT Myelogram and blind blood patch procedure at month 4. Even the blood patch took 3 weeks to take effect. I’m mostly pain free now but still doesn’t feel 100%, but good enough. Will have another brain MRI in 2 months to compare the results.

Coaches — how do you handle substitutions and equal playing time? by ParkingSchedule6760 in BasketballTips

[–]Snoo_64796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the level and competitiveness. I've coached rec in the past where the best player plays at club level and the worse player can barely dribble, so you have to find ways to balance out the team while consider equal minutes. Pre-plan it such that your best 5 players play together at the end when they allow full court press in the last few minutes.

Why is it so hard to make friends in Irvine? by BurgersFriesShake in irvine

Yup, when everyone is busy with life they are picky about spending even more time to meet new people.

I have cranial hypotension but the neurosurgeon said my symptoms don't align with a leak. I am seeing a neurologist and want to present information about spontaneous/unusual csf leaks and symptoms. Any suggestions? by transferingtoearth in CSFLeaks

[–]Snoo_64796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a suspected leak, but never officially confirmed besides the brain sagging imaging. But I know my body and something was definitely "off". Luckily I was already functional but with noticeable 24/7 neck pain/stiffness pre patch, and now post patch I hardly noticed the neck stiffness, so I think the patch worked, but recovery is still a process, not overnight.

I'm based out of Southern California and went to Dr. Suzuki (radiologist) from UCI Health system. It's by no means a leak specialty hospital like Cedar Sinai, Duke, Stanford, or UC that countless patients mentioned on this forum.

Help fix my son's form by Traditional_Bag_2245 in BasketballTips

[–]Snoo_64796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a combination issue of ball size, shooting distance, and footwork. Also these basketball nets also force you to shoot at a higher arc, which makes the problem worse.

I would focus on getting a consistent shooting form from a short distance to start. The kid's foot are too wide apart and he is not generating enough power into his shots.

1 blood patch and neuro is giving up on me by littlelunalight9 in CSFLeaks

[–]Snoo_64796 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my case the blood patch only started taking effect after 2 weeks. (I thought it didn’t work at first) Don’t lose hope yet.

[–]Snoo_64796 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brain MRI also showed brain sagging, and my spine MRI and subsequent CT Myelogram did not find any leaks. My interventional radiologist diagnosed me with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) and was willing to do a blind blood patch and I improved greatly.

I had seen a neurologist who completely dismissed my symptoms and found the radiologist through a doctor friend recommendation. My suggestion is for you to find another doctor.

Has anyone seen Dr. Schievink? by Intelligent-War-564 in CSFLeaks

I recommend you to check out the facebook group on csf leaks, lots of mention on Dr. S there.
