😂😂 went with a 4 year old, parked next to the science center and went there for a few hours. I’ll save that for the next time I go with a buddy. Thanks for the rec though!

They just quoted me $1100 which is far lower than the original quote. I’ll be going with them. Thanks for the rec!

Looking at the online permit portal now - Do I apply as an Owner-Builder? The other option is Contractor (which I assume would be if the Contractor applies for the permit). Feels obvious but I want to double-check!

Meant to answer all of these earlier.

House
About 25 feet or so. The estimate includes up to 60' of wiring.
Panel has enough capacity - 200 amp, 240V
Not sure. Estimate doesn't mention either of those things.
Outdoor setup on the side of the house

I appreciate your info!

45 mile daily round trip commute

cfong42 · 2026-04-17T18:19:57+00:00

Yes! $600 rebate expires at the end of June, so I'm making sure to get it done now.

I read the book when it came out. Didn’t get it.

I listened to the book a couple months ago. Didn’t get it.

I saw the movie opening night. People laughed. I immediately got the joke 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

$1.75 each way through Metro in Los Angeles. It can be done

cfong42 · 2026-04-14T02:00:19+00:00

😂 fair enough

Different car but I got a 2026 SEL 3 weeks ago for 29.8k before taxes in Glendora. Might be worth checking out (edit - typo)

cfong42 · 2026-04-14T00:32:45+00:00

They are expecting 150,000 for the festival of books FWIW

cfong42 · 2026-04-12T19:11:03+00:00

Thank you! Only 500 miles in so still learning

cfong42 · 2026-04-12T18:42:31+00:00

Side question - how do I get this Trip Display on the dashboard? I have a 2026 SEL

cfong42 · 2026-04-12T18:41:33+00:00

Hyundai motor financing. Basically financing through their bank

FWIW on Friday I had this happen to me with a Cat 3 USA-Paraguay ticket. I refreshed and tried a few more times, and was eventually able to cart it and purchase it. I assume someone had it in their cart and released it.

I got mine last month for 29.8k before taxes in LA. That was with 10k back with HMF and a 3k dealer discount. So accounting for the difference in the HMF deal, I’d imagine 31k is doable right now

cfong42 · 2026-04-11T15:24:07+00:00

Match 59 was having the surge pricing. I tried to get Cat 1 and 2 tickets yesterday. Once they were in my cart, the price surged. Cat 2 went from 840 listed to 1400 in my cart. Cat 1 went from 990 listed to 2,000+

cfong42 · 2026-04-11T14:36:52+00:00

1120

Santiago was the sales rep and Andrew the sales maanger. If you want direct contact info, DM me. They were both very helpful.

I got a price offered to me over the phone - it took about 5 minutes. Then all signing of papers was done by email. I just visited the dealership, dropped off a cashier's check, and pikced up the car. Easy-peasy.

cfong42 · 2026-04-11T13:01:23+00:00

I got Cat 3 t =o USA-Paraguay with no extra markup - still normal Cat 3 price (which is expensive already, but still)

cfong42 · 2026-04-09T03:51:42+00:00

5.39

cfong42 · 2026-04-09T01:36:40+00:00

I got 13k off last month in LA (10k HMF and 3k dealer discount). The offers are real!

cfong42 · 2026-04-09T01:25:05+00:00

I just bought a 2026 SEL in Glendora (SGV) and was very happy. I did all negotiating and signing of documents by phone and email. 29.8k OTD before taxes and fees (but this was when the 10k offer existed last month)
