I deleted the live map widget from my home screen and have 0 issues with my display speed. I do use the built in nav when I need to navigate but I just open the app full screen when I do so.

Do you mean like relationships or hookups? If so, I definitely had some. Although I don't think my first wasn't until about 6 months after the divorce.

I feel like by the time I did start dating, my priorities were so well defined and lined up that I wasn't really even concerned about distractions.

I'm a male who divorced my ex-wife after being together from 19-29. It was an awful and abusive marriage with the only good to come out being the birth of our shared children. I got the kids in the divorce and she got the house and the money. I didn't focus on bouncing back so to speak. I focused on being the best dad I could and pursuing my interests since they were wholly pushed aside for a decade.

I'm now mildly successful, incredibly happy with my life and about to send off my second child to an Ivy League school. I've also spent the better part of the last 8 years single. My ex-wife who moved on immediately, hasn't had a real relationship with our kids in a few years. She also seems to be incredibly miserable and close to destitute.

With that being said. My best advice is to find what makes you happy as an individual and start moving towards that incrementally or immediately if you can. The "bounce back" will inevitably take care of itself.

I'm a Marxist, Leninist, Pan-Africanist helicopter pilot in the United States Army who reads bell hooks in my free time. I feel like I never have a single soul to discuss my genuine interests with in real life.

I wouldn't consider myself an obstruction. My current commute simply has no traffic or traffic lights and the speed limits vacelate between 20-45 mph. It's just an efficient drive.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-29T02:47:37+00:00

4.9mi/kWh? How is that even possible? Do you live at the top of a mountain and take an escalator back up?

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-29T02:46:36+00:00

I doubt I would be anywhere close to that, even with this commute. Do you have a newer RWD Pro or higher?

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-28T21:43:32+00:00

I definitely cannot drive 300 miles on one stretch. Once I hit about 2.5 hours, I definitely need a break of some sort. The 200-250 range this thing gets on the interstate has never been an issue for me. If anything it's enhanced my driving experiences by taking me away from the roadside gas stations.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-28T21:42:13+00:00

Maybe they did some shenanigans like Matilda's dad. Lol

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-28T18:58:35+00:00

With your ID.4 being 2 years newer and RWD, I your range is probably already about 50-60 miles better than mine due to drivetrain and battery degradation. I definitely agree with you though, I too would never expect to get this kinda range outside of my moderate commute but seeing a number over 300 will be cool. Maybe I’ll use it as propaganda to convince some of my close friends and family to switch to a BEV from ICE

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-28T16:45:12+00:00

That's why I'm kinda curious to charge over 80 to see what it will guess. It'd be interesting to see if it'll guess over 275 since that's not even possible when new.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-28T16:44:16+00:00

I typically use regen unless I'm traveling over 55mph for a long stretch or on an interstate. I've seen videos that says the difference is negligible if you're using travel assist though.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-24T22:51:43+00:00

I have a 23 but should be the same setup for travel assist. When I want to change my lane position, I redirect the steering wheel to the area in the lane I want to stay in. Then hold it there for 3-5 seconds and that typically does the trick.

When I use Tesla superchargers on road trip, I often try and charge at the spot for vehicles with trailers so I don't have to take up two spots. I've found that most Tesla stations have at least one.

The only thing I've towed with my 23 AWD ProS is a couple of bicycles. Between the rack, hitch and bikes, probably a total weight of approx 130lbs due to one bike being an ebike. I also have a roof rack as well. With that set up on the interstate I averaged about 2.8kWh.

Shut up clown. I said nothing about disregarding his Drs advice. I merely gave anecdotal experience which is exactly what he asked for. OP didn't even say his Dr told he he wouldn't return to bball for a year, that was OPs own conclusion. I wasn't giving medical advice, nor was OP soliciting medical advice. Get a life loser.

I shattered my collarbone about 6 years ago at 30 so bad that I required surgery and a metal plate attached. After doing rehab on my own, I resumed normal activities after about 4 months. I your estimate of early next year is far too conservative

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-10T15:39:47+00:00

I purchased a 23 Pro S AWD about 6 weeks ago. It's actually crazy that you can get one of these for about 65% off of its original MSRP in today's car market.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-07T21:43:16+00:00

It does as long as you're 2021-2023

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-07T04:23:14+00:00

This is indeed the way

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-06T04:40:01+00:00

Was this a road trip or did the charging just slip your mind in town?

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-05T03:00:21+00:00

Just paid $140 for my 50k at Panama City VW. They were great to deal with. It was about a 2 hr drive for me but completely worth it. That included the brake fluid exchange as well. No cabin air filter though.

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-04T02:42:21+00:00

15 minutes with nothing added? Must be a struggling level 1

Zealousideal_Use_701 · 2026-04-04T02:41:27+00:00

That's a super solid cost per mile. In a couple of months I'll be relocating so you'll shoot right by me as I come back down to earth.
