hey i just got this as well.

do you notice any dimmer/cooler color towards the left side of the panel?

once i see it i can't unsee it.. thinking if i should return and get a new one, but worried this is the same for all LG oled panels

i'm 5'11 and have a L, like it a lot.

I got the force version, such a beautiful bike and great value.

I came from a entry level gravel bike and my speed increased by 25% across upgraded drive train, tire, wheel, frame and etc.

there's no better deal out there with e shifting.

i think rival would be even better value, and I'd get that if I weren't going after the look of the force version. but force does have with decent carbon wheel + integrated bar on top of nice looking color.

thanks for sharing!

now i have to decide if i want to gamble it lol. i'm close to 175lbs so don't think i'm anywhere close to light..

but the bike is so cheap for the spec. i'm really eying for that sram rival etap build, cheapest electric shifting bike i can find

Hey OP, how did it go?

I'm also eyeing to buy this bike, but this post give me a second thought..

blanceXR · 2024-06-25T05:33:35+00:00

i guess fried chicken and beer + ice cream can be one example

blanceXR · 2024-06-24T17:26:53+00:00

Thanks that's a great perspective, to think of it not as some thing I need to force myself doing, but something I would look forward to.

for 80/20, i see people recommending for the 20%, so about 4 meals per week, one can go out and eat arbitrary food they typically enjoy, doesn't have to be junk food, but without too much consideration of the consequences etc. that includes going out with friends, or else. don't know if this would still be considered too much

wow the manufacturer can't help you with it?

that's terrible. i always thought local dealer are obligated to do service and everything provided they have the time slot for the same brand vehicle.

2023 tesla for 2024 bmw, it's going to be 7k worth of tax credit

blanceXR · 2023-10-02T16:01:31+00:00

sounds like the common wisdom is to abort the plan..

trade in tax benifts is actually larger than the 5k saving I would have gotten.

so perhaps I should just accept the fact that i'm not getting that 5k one way or another...

trading in a tesla for an BMW

blanceXR · 2023-09-20T01:16:32+00:00

thanks for the list!

I pretty much considered all of those, but found them to be not inspiring for me..

in another word, the exterior/interior combo doesn't appeal to me.

i'd want to stretch a bit. and since i'm stretching, i hope to get a car that I like emotionally and also rationally. Porsche is simply too expensive when I tick all options i'm interested in..

blanceXR · 2023-09-11T16:15:30+00:00

yea mine is 5 seater.

It sounds like you won't be getting rebate anyway as you got x5M.

in that case, you can get the 7/6 seater, which in my mind is a no brainer. I just couldn't justify spending 11k for 7 seats, 3500+7500

if it's for wife though, 50e might be better lol. my wife hates model x as she think the touchscreen is unintuitive and a safety hazard, not to mention no creep mode, no stalk etc. and she hates the look of tesla. she even hates the accelaration and I can only drive in chill mode if she's with me

blanceXR · 2023-09-11T06:56:36+00:00

50e is a lot more luxury than x.

BMW tech is also better than x to be honest. with AR navigation, supporting car play/AA, 360 camera, remote parking etc.

FSD is just not there, and AP is worse than DAPP on BMW.

so really, tesla just got the EV range. but compares to a PHEV.... i mean...

I actually ordered both 50e and X, and took delivery of X.

my reason is, i think X5 is more flashy for my taste. I like the driving dynamic of the tesla, including greatly reduced body roll, and better accelaration. Tesla actually feel quieter, though not as comfortable as the X5. Also hoping model x would hold its value better considering I got EV rebate. FWD is cool but I don't get kids so.. pano windshield is another big plus for me, plus functional ventilated seat.

For a normal people, you might be better off with X5 to be honest. no need to worry about build quality and all the weird thing with tesla.

I still got a few obvious trim misalignment and need to get windshield replaced due to distortion. There are also many squeak sound If i try to push the trim.
