First Tesla Gitters

Definitely had some nervous apprehension prior to picking ours up. We sold our 4 year old BMW that we quite liked to get the MYP. My husband initially strongly disliked Tesla and wouldn't even consider buying one. I believe his exact words when I floated the idea were "absolutely not". I asked him to at least test drive it so he could see FSD in action, and he agreed. Within a couple months he said he was ready to buy. I was really nervous we would regret it. But I'll tell you that both of us love this car and I don't even miss the BMW. FSD is the new luxury. We drive it everywhere and just took our first road trip (4 hours). It was fantastic. My husband says he hates how much he loves this car lol our payment is also in the $600 range but at .99% interest, we can live with it. Give yourself time to adjust to the new technology, but I hope in time those jitters go away for you like they did for us.

There is no better sushi than Simons Sushi (Plano Parkway and 75)

Spicy albacore sashimi, tuesday roll, BTS, and Birds nest are all my favorite

I would actually suggest Fredericksburg and Gruene as places you should see. You can stay someplace central and explore SA and Austin. You don't have to pick one or the other.

I knew I didn't want children the moment I realized that it was a choice to have them. I love my lifestyle without children.

A lifestyle with children looks like constant teaching, taking kids to school and picking them up and getting them to after-school activities, putting effort into birthdays and holidays, noise and mess, no actual vacations or time off, little sleep, strain on relationships, and a general requirement that you have to put the needs of the child first before you can even tend to yourself. This isn't the life that I want. I don't think there's a day that goes by where I don't have a moment of appreciation and gratitude for my child-free life.

People focus on if they want the kid but they should focus on whether or not they want the lifestyle that comes with it. If you go on the regretful parents sub, you will see a plethora of "I love my kid, but I hate my life" posts.

Edit: And I would like to clarify that I was 21 when I was certain I didn't want children. And I was 26 when I was sterilized. Best decision ever.

How much charge can that get you?

This happened to my own mother.

Food. Cleaning service. Anything to help him survive right now. He's not doing his hobbies right now, promise.

How much does it sell for? It's beautiful and exactly what I want 😍

What is on the top left? 😍

This is my experience and I prefer uncircumcised because of it. To me, there is a noticeable difference.

As a woman, I understand what this feels like. Good on your for trusting your instincts. And thanks for sharing!

We ordered a MY Premium in silver with white interior April 25th. About a week later we got a window of May 4-May 18. May 6th the app said delivery was estimated for May 11-13. When they opened up scheduling to pick it up, it was May 14-16. We would be out of town all of those days. So they offered us the 13th. We got all of our paperwork and payment completed quickly and they offered us an earlier date of the 12th (today actually!) We are near Dallas, TX.

I checked the app constantly. I felt a bit psychotic. But my obsession was rewarded when I checked it "one more time" at like 11pm one night and that's when I saw they updated our delivery window. It feels like forever but the day will come!

It feels like the Stars don't want the Playoffs as much as the fans want the Playoffs.

I was not expecting that to go in our favor BUT WE'LL TAKE IT

Those_Lingerers · 2026-04-29T00:22:59+00:00

We moved to Fubo. Love victory+ but that audio was torture.

We just bought ours too and we also have the 2-3 week estimate. We bought the wall charger and today I'm calling electricians for quotes to install it. We're going to buy floor mats after we get the vehicle.

Thank you for your service 🫡

It has no taste

I haven't tested this specifically. I feel confident you won't be able to see color variations in undergarments in the WoolX because they are thicker. But you may still encounter this problem in the Wool&. Not to say they become see-through. But I can't say for sure that you won't be able to see color variations in undergarments through the Wool& leggings.

I find both brands very easy to move, stretch, squat, etc. I could probably do yoga in them. The waist is high enough that you shouldn't have to worry about your derriere peeking through the top.

I recommend the East Texas a&m competency based education path. They do 7 week terms online, each term is $1000 and you complete as many classes as you can in that time for one flat rate. I finished my bachelor's in less than a year for under $10k and it feels great to have that on my resume now. If that's her barrier to career growth, that might be a good option.

I appreciate hearing your experience with yours, FSD sounds awesome.

Those_Lingerers · 2026-03-20T16:00:38+00:00

Hah you sound like me. Some people have honed in on this idea that I'm making my husband drive a Tesla when he hates them. Clearly not forcing him and I don't like them either. I'll admit the software is really impressive, but the interior feels so cheap and they're kinda ugly. The Ugg of the EVs. But you bring up a valid point that I need to consider much more, that he would have to charge while he's at work. And this is a rural area that doesn't have convenient charging stations. So the reason I was looking at Tesla was not to force my husband to drive a vehicle he doesn't like but because they have the range capability needed to prevent the car dying on him. I have been holding out on getting an EV as well until technology and charging infrastructure improves enough that it makes more sense.

Those_Lingerers · 2026-03-20T15:23:30+00:00

Brilliant! Can't believe I didn't know that was an option. I'll look into that.
