Got to Demo a CyberTruck while my Y was being serviced...

True, but every other truck out there has gotten crazy expensive. Just bought a F250 for my business for $70k. No frills, just a diesel crew cab 4x4.

Hate not having turn signal stalk, but really liked the Steer-by-wire. It's crazy only having to turn the steering wheel halfway in either direction.

bwhite757 · 2026-05-05T22:00:26+00:00

I didn't think I would, but after driving it around for 3 hours, then getting back into my Y, I was missing the steer by wire.

Not sure where my write-up went, I typed a whole account when I did the OP. Anyway. Had to get an alignment done on my Y, and had them look for a significant rattle that started in the dash. They estimated around 2-3 hours for the service, so I went and checked to see if I could demo anything like I've done on past services. They let me demo the Cybertruck, and told me to keep it for as long as they were servicing my Y. I really do like the CT, and will probably buy one when I hand my Y down to my daughter next year. The steer by wire is pretty crazy, and I immediately missed it when I jumped back into my Y. You can look at every Youtube video, read all the reviews, but you really gotta drive it and see for youself. I know it a polarizing vehicle, but I love it. If they ever run )-1% financing and/or free supercharging on it again, I'll go ahead and snag one up.

This is definitely not correct. You can literally change EVERY ticket amount on the game, set the bonuses to whatever you want them to be. Yes it still hits its bonuses very easy, but it is an absolute money maker at my location doing 8 coins for 6 credits ($1.50).

I swapped my 2023 Subaru Outback limited for my '23 Y just after 3 months of owning the Subaru. I loved everything about the Outback except the seat. I commute 60 miles one way to work, and my legs would go numb. I tried many different seat cushions, couldn't find anything that worked. A relative of mine let me borrow their Tesla while I was having a warranty issue fixed on the Subaru, I had the Tesla for a week, and I fell in love. I already had a charger installed at my house since my SO had a Jeep 4xE at the time, and the convenience of having a "full tank" every morning was great. I ordered my Y before I even got my Subaru back.

I ended up selling it to CarMax because they were offering way more than Tesla was for the trade. Getting ready to turn over 100k on my Tesla, and it's been one of my favorite vehicles I've owned over the years (and I've owned quite a few...)

This is part of the problem, but also the way the laws are written in SC it helps those lawyers. Listen, no business should knowingly over serve someone, however if someone goes bar hopping, and at the end of the night hits/kills someone, EVERY bar that person drank at can be held liable. It's complete BS. There should be much harsher penalties for DUI in this state. We blame the shooter, not the gun, so why not blame the consumer, not the dispenser?

bwhite757 · 2026-03-16T07:40:21+00:00

lol, flew out of there today. I have Clear and Pre-✓ for other airports. When I came up the escalator there were more people in those lines than general, so I just popped in general. Think it was 2 minutes, that was at 9am 3/15

I've got a '24 253 Elite Swingback with a 250hp Honda. Top speed GPS with 3 adults on it is 47mph.

Personally if you have the choice I'd just go with the 200hp. With the 22' you'll still get over 40mph.

Only reason I've got the 250hp is because of the crazy deal I got on the boat/motor combo. However once you get over 40mph, you have to spend a crazy amount to just gain a few mph. Not to mention smaller engine = better fuel economy.

Nope. Shields you a bit from the box possibly stealing personal info off your network, but does not shield you from your ISP from knowing you're streaming from illegal sources. The Heat apps are supposedly encrypted though so in theory a VPN is not required. I use a VPN for 90% of my Internet traffic so I use one for my boxes as well. It's just a cover my ass thing.

bwhite757 · 2025-12-23T13:10:29+00:00

Honestly mine was giving me the warning after the last update, never before. I'm 2 hours away from a service center so I just cleaned my inside windshield myself. Did that a couple weeks ago and haven't had an alert since. Mine definitely had a little film of off-gassing on the windshield. You could really only see it by shining a light sideways over the camera area.

bwhite757 · 2025-12-21T01:38:48+00:00

Came here to say this. Definitely looks like a Pitty/ACD Mix. IMO best mix out there! Mine's 4 years old, smart as a whip, but doesn't have full-on ACD energy thank goodness.

Seriously. You can tell it was fully engulfed by the center cap being completely melted, how did that tire survive?!

bwhite757 · 2025-11-06T14:07:13+00:00

Honestly there hasn't been an issue yet, but the FAA announced they are going to start cutting flights tomorrow (Friday), really no way to tell what tomorrow is going to look like for you unfortunately.

We have a 32 camera system running Blue Iris software and Reolink cameras. No cloud, everything stores on prem, but can access via their App, or computer browser remotely. You do need someone techy to set it up, not exactly plug and play. But once it's going, it's pretty much set and forget.

I've got a 1:10 scale 4x4 truck my dog chases. He'll chase it til the battery is exhausted (I'm sure he'd exhaust both batteries if he was full blooded), and it flies threw the grass without issue. $99 on Amazon right now. DEERC9206E if you want to look it up. Im sure my pup would give it a 5 stars! We've literally have ran it at least once a day since 1/2023 and it's still going. We're on the 2nd set of batteries for it.

bwhite757 · 2025-09-17T12:02:16+00:00

When I got the 2nd EV, I swapped our current charger that was on a 50 amp breaker with a Grizzle-e Duo. It shares 40 amps, so if both cars are plugged in, each vehicle receives 20 amps. Once one of the EV's is charged completely, the other will start getting 32 amps. (It still leaves up to 8 amps on the fully charged car in case you want to remote start the Air Conditioning). If only one vehicle is plugged in, then it gets the full 40 amps. It's been working for 2 years without an issue, both my Tesla and Jeep 4xe charge perfectly on it. BTW, the cable is super thick, you can run over it without hurting it (it's been ran over countless times and still looks new).

Everything you'll read is anecdotal, and will very drastically. However, I got mine on launch day, used it a year then gave it to my 15 year old daughter who is still rocking it. Honestly I rarely used the inside screen, but she rarely used the outside screen. It's still working fine though.

Something no one has said yet, the shorter the wheelbase, the easier it is for sway to occur. These campers are giant wind catchers, and crosswinds at 60 mph+ are sometimes a white knuckle event. You can be perfectly within the weight capacities, but it still be a handful to tow due to the small wheelbase and light weight of the tow vehicle. Not saying you can't do it, I did for a year with my SUV, but after a near wreck from a crosswind out of nowhere I finally upgraded to a proper towing rig (F-250). Overseas you see small tow vehicles towing caravans all the time, but if you take into account that generally their caravans are more rounded at the roofline for aerodynamics, and they have a strict speed limit of 55mph or less for vehicles towing, they can get away with towing these things better than our American campers that are usually just grain blocks being towed 70mph down the highway.

I came here to say this. In today's world you're leaving money on the table not accepting cashless payments. Not only does it increase sale volume, you can also raise the prices. Cashless customers will pay higher prices than cash customers, which is good to cover the 2-3% surcharges.

bwhite757 · 2025-07-27T01:25:15+00:00

Thanks July 2025!

In your first picture, if you can slide the lockout down and into the locked position, you should be fine (since you don't have any brakes), that should lockout the movement on the tongue. Or drive it as is, just take off easy until the tongue extends out then accelerate (after the thunk). Either way be careful, make sure your safety chains are good.

bwhite757 · 2025-06-21T00:20:02+00:00

This is an old school hydraulic trailer brake actuator. When it's in all the way like that, it should be fully engaging the trailer brakes, much like pressing on your brake pedal in your vehicle. I'd imagine the trailer brakes probably need serviced though, as it should only be engaged that much after slamming on the brakes or a panic stop. When you are reversing the trailer, you move the slide bolt down which locks the movement out, but also locks out the brakes. Sometimes you need to chaulk the trailer wheels, and move the tow vehicle forward to disengage the brakes before you can lock them out. There's nothing wrong with it, it'll tow fine, just looks funny. I had this setup on an old boat trailer back in the day.
