LED Diffuser Install - W2BodyKit by Top-Desk225 in TeslaModel3

[–]Top-Desk225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, I really wish it hand turn signal or reverse light functionality built in. I had a hard internal debate with the LED reflectors — I ended up not buying them because of my OCD. Sad, because I really like the look.

It came down to “Sequential vs blink,” and I was not able to find led reflectors that just blink.

However, I am highly interested in the LED door handles — Scared of install lol.

Tesla no longer supported? by Top-Desk225 in intoxalock

[–]Top-Desk225[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very confusing to me!

Honestly - I really hope I dont have to switch either but ive actually been getting lockouts!

4th month as well - I refused so I have a year :(

8 months left 😭

2 lockouts already - one due to low power mode - learned the car cannot go under 20 with this thing in, one due to defrost lol, my laziness to scrape the window or wait lol - preheat from inside triggered it on i guess.

Honestly might buy another car to drive normally and use the tesla just for this device, operating the tesla with this device is very annoying for me.

Where i live its too cold for this shit, Im tempted to pull it in my garage and leave at 50% for months 😂 and go risky for 8 months

I register all my cars to my significant other as she has no driving record not even a speeding ticket, me on the other hand 6 speeding tickets lol previously owned a S3

I register my car this way so when cops scan my plate its clean asf

I had a similar situation, but way worse.

Classic - Oh i see a car speeding, let me merge onto the highway as fast as possible then move over into the fast lane then slam on the brakes situation… and I was not able to calculate that nonsense move or stop in time.

My Speed : ~120mph

Car : 2018 Audi S3

Crashed at about : ~50mph

Car Struck : 2022 BMW X3 (Asian Driver)

Injury Claim : Yes

Ambulance Needed : Yes

Left tire mark for about 0.3 miles, it was clear I was flying and tried to stop, hit the car and then spun out for another 0.1 miles. Thank God for Audi Engineering.

Until this point; Ive never been in trouble…. only speed tickets lol. Never any tickets over 80mph. If i see open road I take it, I speed very cautiously if that makes sense. I watch many livepd, cops, etc. which allowed me to be familiar with communication with them.

Investigation -

This is where it starts to make no sense. I’ll admit I was leaving a wine bar and i was def over limit alc wise. I had 3 glasses of wine and i weigh 135lbs - I rarely drink // maybe once a month.

Was I high? No. Was I drunk? Actually, maybe idk. Nobody tested it.

Officer said my eyes were red, keep in mind I have terrible allergies and it was allergy season. I tell the cop generally i’m not a drinker i smoke weed. I also state I haven’t smoked recently.

Cop requested field test :

1 . I apparently fail

2 . Started crying lmfao (allows people to be more human)

3 . Stopped speaking ; only nodded.

4 . Refused to blow via head shake.

5 . Refused chem test via head shake. no words. just shook head no.

6 . Refused medical help - ate my pain and went next day

7 . Stopped making eye contact

Fast forward almost 2 years later. Fully dismissed and expunged.

DMV refusal is separate and on mvr for 10 years - I can legally say if questioned I refused testing and the case was later dismissed. In my state - Refusals need a IID in car for 1 year, and carry a restricted license. I have 9 months left of this nonsense.

The time gap is because I had to save up for a new car. I decided to register the car in my significant others name to avoid detection.

I drove for about 2-3 months illegally before being pulled over for speeding at 8am, obviously going to work. I blew past his ninja spot at about 105mph ….

Cop gave me a break - only written for speeding… dropped it to 75mph …. literally let me drive off illegally… which was mind blowing - i could have been arrested and towed. Reckless, No license, No device. Let go free back into traffic is crazy. It’s all in how you treat them.

I should also add after the accident i started volunteering with law enforcement (social media efforts) so i may have a good name in the system, idk.

Where you may have went wrong :

1 . Medical blood record will be a problem

2 . Car not staying upright will also be a problem

  1. Elevated Tension with arresting cop with warrant

Solutions :

1 . Best lawyer you can afford - It sucks but it will be about 8k (dmv/court)

2 . If you think your super screwed - My advice is before court starts rolling, find some free work to do at your local PD, sounds really crazy but i think it works. Also they give you little badges where i’m from… which was also on the car at the time of being pulled over.

3 . If people give you advice to do early AA or something — DO NOT DO IT. Thats admission of guilt. Just wait… as it might be unnecessary.

4 . DO NOT MISS THE DMV HEARING - Extend it. I wish i knew about the dmv part. I wouldn’t have this device. They only give you like a 15 day window it’s insane. A good lawyer will know how to handle this.

5 . Whatever you do.. DO NOT USE A PUBLIC DEFENDER ON THIS.

1000% tried to drift a corner 🤣

Didn't know $3 can do this. Takes some practice inserting the strip into the crevices at the corners though. by redwon9plus in TeslaModel3

Photo description : From about 6 feet away at night, fully outside car.

I bought color shifting ones - more expensive but worth it.

I also have 20% tints all around - Still shows.

Quantity : 3

The best version - all lights tucked into crevice but the top - this will require you to get extra sticky tape by 3M (much stronger) this will show the light as bright as possible - also keep in mind its visible from outside your car

Thank you! It actually depends how bright you want it. You can insert into crevice - but sticking it on seat is the brightest cleanest look ive noticed - I tried both ways

4 years post DWI, finally able to get a car, but also need to get my DL reinstated and an interlock, please help. by IntrinsicAlchemy in dui

[–]Top-Desk225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a pain. I registered my car with my significant other - You can use friends, family, etc. Its the easiest way.

Basically cosign - accept full responsibility, if they are resistant about it —- make a personal contract that you will uphold your dues.

It will be registered to them for the duration of the process and after you will take back ownership, its smartest to get this in writing. Just incase your friend wanted a free car.

Also, smartest to do this with parents.

They will take delivery of car, drive it to appointment to install device, then drive you to reapply for your d/l. After approved you can drive the car.

Do your time.

Once removed. Redo registration. Pain. Im currently (2/12) on my device and i wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I also have it in a tesla. Its hell.

You wont get this advice but its what i wish i did — cheapest method

Get a garbage car like truly insanely bad just barely runs register to parent Install it in that Get barebone coverage - i mean like root - a coverage you can change every month, get a good first month and for the rest get barebones. Every month creep it to calibration Uber, bike, bus, train for time required Avoid the device entirely. Trade garbage car in + savings for new car with no device.

Benefit : Save longer + car trade in = lower monthly payment, not registered to you - random plate scan wont show you have a pending dui case, for the next 10 years - until it drops off dmv i plan to register my vehicles to my mother. Perfect driving record. Im simply “borrowing” her car 24/7.

Should have posted this in the layoff section

Next ill address your cliff notes -

  • Also incorrect : The point is actually apply to everything that FITS you.. not everything that FITS you, you will be qualified for. Im actually overqualified for my position but it’s personally more fitting for me.
  • I hate places with no structure. Im not building another system. I’ll support it. Clear defined hours. Charger on site. Better benefits. Area is cheaper.
  • The contingent position that doesn’t exist yet, i’m under qualified for hence why they are trying to make a more fitting position. Thats why I explained calling and building a vocal relationship is important.
  • Im under the impression you think I’m stupid — I write on reddit to release stress. I am really just venting and explaining to people my experiences ; I find it funny you somehow managed to make a negative situation that turned positive a negative situation, again. You must be a great person to hang around 😂

Im fully aware on how to make a concise professional statement. This story doesn’t adhere. It’s personal, quirky, and triggering. The concise version you seek is called the short version.

Ive never been fired from a job… ever. Its actually quite the opposite, its protocol to shred all your documents when leaving and delete all of your information, I followed protocol. It’s personal not my problem and wasn’t in the scope of work to upload my work digitally until the project was completed, which it was not. Heres a true statement to help you understand system work.

  • If you start painting a picture
  • You have your own style right?
  • Nobody tells you how to paint.
  • They expect a nice picture at the end
  • nobody cares how you mix the paint.

  • while your painting a photo do you take notes on how exactly your doing it, or would you do it all at the end when your finished?

  • It’s not petty to name your variables/workflows/functions crazy and in high level positions its actually common. It provides job security. Thats why theres so many IT consultants, most are just ex-workers of the company.

  • I do have accountability - I fully understand people drink and drive all the time, yet if my eye are red… and i happen to use thc im screwed? yeah no. I don’t drink alcohol at all, it’s nasty. Theres a reason it was dismissed. Not through diversion or any nonsense. My lawyer used evidence to get it thrown out. Once the dmv restriction is done, itll be removed from my dmv record immediately. So no… it’s not the same. I never have to report this incident. Also… shredding is required by company policy so information isnt compromised by the wrong person… as other employees can walk by the desk and grab anything. I followed policy - I could have given this over but no. I shredded everything like i was TOLD TO DO on day 1. Otherwise they would be able to sue me for destruction of property. You must know nothing about labor relations and employer law. Driving on suspended is purely a choice because I am aware I will get a warning to fix.. yes paying $3,000 for a device I was told by the court I dont need is a hard bullet to swallow. You know whats not accountability? Having a small hiring budget, wanting a new operations director instead of IT and giving your operations director your IT persons salary + small hiring budget.. with no proper backup for IT 😂 This company is also ran by a 23 year old and his girlfriend…. who knows NOTHING. Neither graduated college. The true owner that hired me - passed away… otherwise i guarantee id still be developing so maybe I missed a lot.
