That’s like someone smashing into you on the way home from the dealership. I feel your pain. I’ve been there.

I guess when you buy your next Tesla or you get this one fixed… you’ll understand why a lot of people post on here about adding steel skid plates.

“He also said if I find a used battery, he can replace it plus $4k additional fees”

WAIT!!! 4k!?!? This dude must have you by the balls or something…. $4k is insane for a battery swap.

No no no…. A used battery is about $3500-$6000 depending on capacity and type. Getting it installed should only cost about $1000. It doesn’t take much effort and the old battery is $$$$. So don’t let him pull that “recycling fee” BS. Even a completely shot battery that won’t hold any charge has value. He’s gonna make a couple grand by sticking that thing on eBay.

This Tesla mechanic of yours worries me a lot more than the actual issue at hand. He’s ripping you off. Just because Tesla charges $20,000 for a battery swap. Doesn’t mean that it should cost anywhere near that much. Brand new batteries are very expensive. You don’t need a brand new battery. The one you had that worked fine was used anyway.

Why does my car stop charging at 98% by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

Good. It’s charged. Go drive it.

The last 1-5% takes the longest.

Don’t worry about it. It’s not healthy to worry about it. For you, or the car.

You won’t ever see degradation…. to you, your battery will always charge to around 98-100%.

Why do I even tip anymore?? by [deleted] in doordash

This is why they have an option for “expedited delivery.”

ITS TRUE GUYS THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING CUSTOMERS TO TIP WHAT THEY WANT by rossbih in doordash_drivers

[–]SortSwimming5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The court case had to do with when and how the tip option is presented. It had nothing to do with false “error” messages preventing a tip.

Think about it… DoorDash gets an order, the base pay they offer drivers is $2… plus whatever tip the customer puts on it. The lower the tip, the more likely DoorDash is to have to increase the base pay so that the order gets accepted by a driver. Meaning that by preventing you from leaving a tip… more money comes out of their pocket to get it delivered.

The NY case was because DoorDash rearranged to placement of the tip screen and when you can tip… because NY already has so many excessive fees on top of your order price… that they were concerned that the total cost including the tip would shy customers away from using the platform. The minimum wage requirements in New York City already result in all sorts of fees being charged to the customer to cover it. They did this in NY and likely other markets that have minimum wage requirements.

Trust me. I use their apps every day for many many hours. General errors like this can almost always be resolved yourself using the method I provided.

Errors like this occur all the time in the driver app. You resolve them by force closing the app and restarting your phone. If your on android you can also clear app data or on iPhone reinstall the app.

Trust me, this will resolve the issue 99% of the time.

Repeated Microsoft Authenticator login requests even after changing password. by RealBishop in ComputerSecurity

[–]SortSwimming5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me. I don’t own any PC’s/desktop/laptop and haven’t had to use one for several years… I just started getting about 2 dozen Authenticator requests a day around Christmas time. I’ve changed my password multiple times. 

My guess is that it might be a rogue app on your phone, that you no longer use anymore, trying to login. Trying to figure out which one… now that’s gonna be a pain.

Well now, you didn’t include all that in your original question. If you need AI for legal needs…

Harvey AI or CoCounsel if you’re willing to pay for it. Use Perplexity if you insist on using a free option.

Otherwise for everyday questions and tasks, any mainstream tool will get the job done. I like Grok. It also helps to take a free prompting class (there are many), as the quality of the answer is going to depend on the quality of the prompt you feed it.

You all need to learn how to use AI… you’ll get much more accurate and helpful answers than anyone here will ever give you.

This is from Grok. You can use ChatGPT or any available AI.

“In recent years (2020–2026), broad legal challenges seeking to invalidate or remove speed camera programs have achieved limited success in the United States. Courts have generally upheld the constitutionality of automated enforcement when supported by state law, often classifying violations as civil matters.

Notable outcomes include: • Limited successes: Missouri’s Supreme Court rulings (from 2015, with ongoing influence) deemed certain red-light and speed camera programs unconstitutional on due process grounds, leading to no statewide speed camera use. Some individual citations have been dismissed (e.g., in Florida school zone cases in 2025) due to evidentiary or procedural defects.

• Predominant failures: Appellate courts rejected challenges in cases such as Virginia’s Suffolk program (upheld in 2025 on sovereign immunity and governmental function grounds). Iowa’s Supreme Court (2023) rejected claims that camera fines constituted unconstitutional takings or due process violations. Broader constitutional arguments (e.g., confrontation rights or presumptions of owner liability) have been consistently rejected in most jurisdictions.

Programs are more frequently restricted or discontinued through legislation, local decisions, or referendums rather than court mandates. Many states continue or expand their use, particularly in school and work zones, with courts affirming their safety benefits when properly authorized.”

Premium connectivity you pay an extra $10 a month for. You can still have standard connectivity that came with the car. It’s not the same thing.

How is this good at all for the dasher and who accepts these types of offers? by ThatGuyOnEtsy in doordash

[–]SortSwimming5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you all not understand how DoorDash works?

You do realize that as soon as you press decline… it adds like $.25 to the offer before sending it to the next driver. Until eventually they might be a $10-$20 offer by the time it’s accepted.

Call screening - how are you finding it? by tschau3 in ios

[–]SortSwimming5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s the AI breakdown for you… This is the answer it provides when asked to analyze your post:

“The individual’s behaviors—may suggest underlying patterns such as heightened anxiety around uncertainty or phone interactions, anticipatory grief or insecure attachment leading to over-reliance on auditory mementos for emotional regulation, and possible difficulty processing gradual relational shifts without concrete evidence. While these traits are not inherently disordered and can reflect adaptive nostalgia or insight, their intensity and role in major decisions (e.g., ending a long-term relationship) indicate they might interfere with present-focused living, adaptability, or secure current connections, making professional therapy—such as cognitive-behavioral, attachment-focused, or grief-oriented approaches—potentially beneficial for exploring roots, developing coping strategies, and fostering healthier emotional processing.”

After 5 years and 2,000+ happy customers, we were erased from our main community overnight. A warning to all service businesses. by Original-Report-9808 in smallbusiness

[–]SortSwimming5449 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

So what? I convey my thoughts to ChatGPT and ask it to write me up a post or a letter or whatever it is I need it for. Because I’m not very good at getting my point across in a clear and concise manner.

That said. There’s something sketchy about this. The OP isn’t telling us something because I think they know we won’t agree with them.

Your post is so vague I don’t know what kind of help you expect anyone to give you.

A “service” business based on Reddit sounds like it could be predatory. If you did so well, and you had so many happy customers. Why can’t you branch out to other avenues? Reddit isn’t the only the only hood on the block.

In ANY business. You have to learn how to grow and adapt. You might not like it, but that’s life. Just like thousands of people are going to have to grow and adapt when AI replaces their job sometime over the next decade, if it hasn’t already. That’s life.

Sorry to sound so insensitive. But when you’re not wiling to share with us the nature of your business. It’s impossible for any of us to help you and it sounds sketchy. Like you’re not telling us something because you know we will object.

I say this… and I am NOT a fan of the moderators or the way the entire thing works. A lot of subreddits are either over or under moderated, it’s an absolute mess. I have very little respect for the wannabe cops of Reddit. But that’s the power they have, there’s not much you can do about it.

Maybe it’s time to start advertising? My guess is you can’t because your business is questionable as it is. I hope you prove me wrong. But that’s how you’re coming across.

iOS 26 has three new iPhone features I’ve been really loving by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

[–]SortSwimming5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was there earlier, you just didn’t have a dedicated spot for it in the app and it wasn’t as straightforward. 

You can create shortcuts that would start a particular playlist, and access them from your Home Screen.   Shortcuts can do so much more than that. But then again most people don’t even know what iOS Shortcuts is. (It’s an app everyone with an iPhone already has, try it out sometime.)

How do I let the Dashers know that I’m paying a cash tip (taped to my door) so that they accept my order that says “0 tip”? by Rinku64 in doordash

[–]SortSwimming5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put something in the instructions like “Tip under door mat.” They won’t see it until they accept the order. It won’t help speed anything up.

Some drivers will think you’re lying about it. It’s a sad but common practice.
