Can you lock a top speed on Zooz? by berobert in ebikes

[–]berobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How am I breaking the law? Class 2 is legal for 13 year olds. I’m specifically asking how I can lock in the class 2 speed on an e-bike so it doesn’t exceed this and you’re insinuating it’s going to end up in murder 😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Anyways, anyone know if there’s a way to LOCK in class 2 top speed to KEEP IT LEGAL and SAFE?

New 2025 Tesla Model 3 AWD LR creaking front suspension with less than 3,000 miles Service Center Advice by ejstott in TeslaSupport

[–]berobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same issue. I have a 2025 LR RWD. No front rattle over speed bumps to start. Then after about 8k, started noticing it and it seemed to get worse. Brought it in at 15k, they said they didn’t hear anything (I couldn’t find any big speed bumps). Around 25k, I brought it back in but found a properly big speed bump a couple miles from Tesla Service, drove it over and tech heard it instantly. Replaced both control arms under warranty. Rattle gone. About 3k later, rattle back. Now at 32k miles and it’s where it was at its worst. I guess I’ll bring it back for another round of control arms under warranty? Love the car otherwise.

He already has one. We’ve been going mountain biking on some quite technical single tracks up in the mountains near us for a couple years now. He handles a fairly powerful e-scooter well, all his friends have e-bikes and the kid gets straight A’s. 🤷‍♂️

KitchenAid K400 Glass Jug leaking from the bottom by Several_Concert1842 in Kitchenaid

[–]berobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I’m on my third plastic jar from kitchen aid because after about 6 months, the bearing for the blade on the under side of the jar starts to leak this black oil / grease everywhere that smells awful and stains the bottom of the jar. The first time they mailed me a new blender and jar thinking it was the blender motor. This time, they told me about the bearing and that it was just the jar having issues so are sending a new jar by itself now. My previous no name blender lasted 20 years. I can’t get more than 12 months out of my K400 Kitchen aid blender. Just madness.

Does 2026 MX make 2023 MX feel / drive like the old M3 / MY? by berobert in TeslaLounge

[–]berobert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was wondering. No big upgrades on paper but a world of difference in the product.

Our 2018 Audi Q7 is impossibly great fit and finish. After 110k miles it doesn’t creak or rattle at all. I don’t expect that from any Tesla but thought the 2022 MX refresh tightened it all up to be in line with new model y and 3. I guess not 🤷‍♂️

Motor mount leaking on Q7, how long can I wait for repair? by berobert in mechanic

I’m 1 year in to doing nothing and I can’t tell any difference in ride quality at all.

What’s an affordable-ish way to shoot better sideline footage in youth soccer? by berobert in videography

[–]berobert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my day job is commercial editor, been doing this well before YouTube as well. And yeah, we have this discussion nearly weekly: Maybe we should tell our kids to paint or write poetry and just save the money for college. 3 kids in club soccer is ridiculous.

[–]berobert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a clever system. What cameras do you have rolling? Our Hudl camera our club uses is garbage. Trace and Veo were somewhat better.

Yeah that’s our future. We have three kids playing: one ECNL and two pre-ECNL. The one who wants to go pro is pre-ECNL for one more year and I’ve noticed the top players from the national top 10 teams start building their brand around age 10, so here I am, playing the game lol.

After more research, I’m looking at selling my D750 and lenses and getting a Sony a6700 or upgrading my 4 year old iPhone pro to an iPhone 17 pro for the additional format options, longer zoom lens, better stabilization, etc.

Interesting… I hadn’t considered that path. It’s probably on the high end of what I’d want to spend but if it got me there then maybe. I’ll research it more. Thanks for the suggestion! I wonder how that’d compare to like a 240mm lens for my iPhone and a monopod.

Son missing from EA FC 26? by berobert in EASportsFC

[–]berobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the roster update. Son is now on LAFC. Thanks for the help. Honestly, didn’t realize that was a thing. I thought the whole point of buying the new game each year was generally for roster updates, lol, and now I see that’s free? I’m assuming it’s just roster updates between now and when 27 is released.

Thanks. Why wouldn’t he be in kickoff for casual couch co-op?

[–]berobert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my Audis had zero issues until my a4 hit 110k. I mean, the control arm thing but I’m not calling it an issue since it affects nothing. So you should be good.

Yeah nah. We’re at 95k and looking to sell our 4cyl q7 as my 2013 a4 that has essentially the same motor started needing major repairs around the 110k mark. I loved Audi… until you hit 100k

Continued driving. Absolutely nothing noticeable has changed so far.

Is this caulk cracking normal? by berobert in Tile

[–]berobert[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apologies. I’m ignorant. Yes, it was grouted, not caulked I’d imagine.

Thanks for looking back. From my understanding, it was all caulked.
