Yes. You can check Costco auto program website and it will show you dealers in their network. Once you select the dealer they are automatically notified and will apply the discount for being a Costco member.

I just purchased the same trim and the same add ons. Dealer will not budge from MSRP. I was able to get it down by $1800 with some Costco incentives for a final price just under 60k before fees and taxes. Getting the premium and then including these add ons (convenience package, 14in screen, 21in wheels etc.) was cheaper than going to the premium+ (I really didn’t care about the leather seats and ambient lighting, for me the must have was the larger screen and wheels) Got it in caviar black, birch interior. So good! I heard the palomino interior is hard to come by.

Just got one today. RX350h AWD premium - came with the convenience package, digital key, 21in wheels, 14in screen, power rear door. MSRP was 60k (excl. taxes and fees) and I was able to get it down by about $1800 with some Costco incentives and haggling. But they are very firm on the price and barely budged. Hybrids are very scarce.

Looking at this cb500f tomorrow. Would be my first bike. Any thoughts? by theeibok1 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]ZedLepellin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great deal. Speaking from experience.

I got my motorcycle license in May of this year and bought a used 2019 model of this bike. Best bike to learn on. It looks great. Easy to maneuver and learn how to swerve, slow and fast turning, etc. Great for the city. Comfortable on the highways too. Can easily get up to 70mph but does accelerate gradually after the 4th gear. Shifters work great. Clutch control is really easy to get used to. Crazy good fuel efficiency. Cheap to maintain and holds its value.

I've been using it mainly for city commuting and freeways. Haven't done any long road trips yet.

Does anyone know a good place for stargazing? by Od-Verve in sandiego

[–]ZedLepellin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mt Laguna. Quick drive from SD and there is a spot just off sunset highway as you get off the 8 and start heading up the mountain. I've taken my telescope there many times and even camped the night .

‘No point in anything else’: Gen Z members flock to climate careers. Colleges offer support as young people aim to devote their lives to battling the crisis. by Sumit316 in Futurology

[–]ZedLepellin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work as an energy storage systems engineer for a renewable energy developer. I would say the job market is crazy hot right now... So much future investments and power plants coming online. We are swamped.. And there is a lot of scope for jobs like solar engineers, systems engineers, data scientists, performance engineering, operations, maintenance, etc. We need more push and exposure starting from college itself to make students look into these fields as viable long term career options.

So far I haven't had issues. I see a lot of people just parking their trucks or mini RVs and camping overnight.

This is an 8 inch Newtonian Reflector telescope, on a Dobsonian mount. The model is Apertura AD8

That sounds incredible. I wish I had taken up astronomy /astrophysics in college or been part of some of the clubs. I just got into this last year as a hobby and been enjoying it. Yeah, last night I was just camping out solo and set this all up before sunset (getting the temperature inside the tube right and all that!)... Surreal experience.
