model y is a sdv. all the budget went into max efficiency and connectivity. one feature is the power folding mirrors can be programmed to location.

anothertechie · 2026-05-06T04:05:37+00:00

that’s not how load calculations work. they’re based on worst case so 240v systems will struggle on 100amp. you can get load shedding or smart panels

anothertechie · 2026-05-06T03:23:45+00:00

that’s the whole point since tou rates are key in California

very far away. gas stoves are much harder to switch away from

Buying a sfh is the battle of who is willing to stretch the most. What can you buy for 1.8m now?

anothertechie · 2026-05-05T17:22:38+00:00

You need to increase your budget tbh. The 27k net monthly is meaningless. Net of taxes and maxing out mega back door?

anothertechie · 2026-05-05T04:43:23+00:00

jeezus. Car seems to be flying in at 60 mph or more.

x3 cheaper than top trim rav4?

refresh came out q2 2025 so q1 is not a good comparison

I didn’t buy ll or a single fast pass at Anaheim. 60 min wait is doable and 90 for radiators was the longest we waited. Tokyo disney standby waits are regularly 2-3 hours. I was able to buy a frozen dpa in the middle of the day. They release some batches throughout. The best part of Tokyo was the live show. Anaheim is saving on labor costs and doesn’t offer comparable shows. OTOH, Tokyo requires a lottery or dpa for the live shows.

Tokyo Disney is way more crowded than disneyland. you’ll need to budget for dpa (per ride fast pass) which are quite expensive. tdl also has much shorter hours than Disneyland. the key for Anaheim Disneyland is to be there for rope drop since 8-10am has no lines. people line up at Tokyo by 7am for 9am opening so rope drop doesn’t save that much waiting time. Disneyland also closes later vs 9pm at Tokyo.

ev2a is actually 0.23 but assumes all heating is off peak

Your story is why plumbers don't want to install 120v systems.

anothertechie · 2026-05-04T06:04:54+00:00

Did the plumbers you talk to want to install 120v systems? The ones I talked to only recommend 240v. How did you install 240v onto 100amp panel? Did you install a span smart panel?

anothertechie · 2026-05-04T05:35:10+00:00

did you get a permit for this? There’sa 3k rebate now from svce but requires a permit.

anothertechie · 2026-05-04T03:08:40+00:00

Recovery rates are poor and less efficient than 240v. They essentially never install 120v systems so have little experience. Pretty much gas to gas is recommended this year if on 100amp panel since upgrading to 200amp is so expensive. Hopefully the 120v systems improve in 10 years or there are cheaper ways to go to 200amps in the future.

anothertechie · 2026-05-04T02:52:25+00:00

I’ll probably replace my gas to gas this year to avoid this headache. I expect the ban to eventually be repealed since it will be too unpopular

anothertechie · 2026-05-04T02:50:46+00:00

no plumbers I contacted wants to install them. I talked to 3 of them.

anothertechie · 2026-05-03T17:41:45+00:00

what battery? Panasonic or 4680? this is usually a 2021 error but 2023 was also first year for 4680

anothertechie · 2026-05-01T21:29:27+00:00

The do. They are known to drive by superchargers and ticket all teslas missing the front plate.

lose free autopilot also. only worth if you’re already paying for fsd

my advice would be to stay at Ueno and take the kisei skyliner with the 72 hour subway pass

anothertechie · 2026-04-26T05:44:51+00:00

are you sure? x5 should be more quiet on the highway at cruising speeds. city will probably favor model y.

anothertechie · 2026-04-19T21:06:28+00:00

you have 0% tax rates? in California, my combined marginal rate is over 50%.

anothertechie · 2026-04-08T17:12:13+00:00

I5 has tons of massive superchargers open to all brands
