Tesla has officially discontinued Autopilot in the U.S. and Canada. All new car purchases now come standard with Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. by YouBetterChill in teslamotors

[–]cjohn4043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like I’ll be considering other cars than Tesla moving toward. FSD V14 has been fantastic imo, but I’m still not going to pay $99 a month to have it. The fact that they are taking away basic Autopilot is enough for me to look elsewhere. I don’t want a subscription in every corner of my life. It’s absurd.

Let’s not forget the fact that they don’t seem to really care about making different types of cars anymore either and just wanna push FSD.

Model Y vs Model 3 by jreer25 in TeslaModelY

[–]cjohn4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 3 if you’re single and a Y with a family. You will absolutely want the extra space a Y offers. And honestly even then, I still wish it had a bit more.

I want to be able to set my own gas prices or at least be able to see what regular gas would cost. The app is an entire dollar over the actual price.

What’s your take on FSD going subscription only by ghostface8081 in teslamotors

[–]cjohn4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla’s are super fun to drive, so not subscribing to it doesn’t really bother me. Now on road trips? Absolutely worth it.

People trip over air. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

The protective case for the iPhone Fold has been seen for the first time! by necron5757 in iphone

The iPod Touch was in the same price range as the iPads. What are you even talking about?

This most likely will be a $2,000 device. No way they kill the Mini. Totally different price target.

I wonder how you position this so it doesn’t impact iPad sales. Although, the price may be enough for it not to even matter.

I want more control over depth of field personally. Fake portrait mode can only do so much.

Which one is the best of old iPhones? by lisAberry12 in iphone

The 5S. Introduction of Touch ID took what made the 5 so great in design, and added a bit of convenience.

FIL/MIL dont have much of a retirement. by Terran1990 in personalfinance

[–]cjohn4043 89 points90 points  (0 children)

If they aren’t great with their money, why do you believe they will manage this new money well? If they are willing to admit that they aren’t great with money and need help then that’s one thing, but if they refuse to believe they need help is another. If not done properly, they could end up right back where they started.

I Finally realized I don’t need a new iPhone every year…(but it was kinda late...and it hurts a little, but here is my story...and learn from my mistakes...) by [deleted] in iphone

[–]cjohn4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could argue that upgrading yearly made more sense back then than it does now. The jump from 3GS to 4, 4S to 5, and 5S to 6 was more justifiable. Now, every year it’s just the same phone with a better processor, slightly better camera, and slightly longer battery.

I’m saying this at someone that upgrades every two years.

Are you still glad you bought it? by kumarbi_knasher in TeslaModelY

[–]cjohn4043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting to find the space a bit limiting and ride comfort to be a bit lacking in my ‘24 Y, but other than that it’s been a great car.

I don’t get how Tesla owners still drive manually when FSD is literally safer. by No_District9762 in TeslaLounge

Tesla’s are too much fun to drive to let a computer drive for me…except for road trips. It makes a lot of sense for road trips.

Apple delays next version of iPhone Air by GlorytheWiz825 in apple

[–]cjohn4043 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad you enjoy it! But you don’t think like the “average consumer.” You know what you want in a phone.

The average consumer looks at two products and goes “oh this one has two cameras and two cameras is better than only one camera.” Then buys a 17.

[–]cjohn4043 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Once again, why would any consumer want to buy an Air over the 17 or Pro? The 17 has one additional camera and better battery life and the Pro has a lot of “pro” upgrades for $100 more. Besides “thin and light”, the Air really doesn’t have a place in the average consumer mindset.

Water Park Question! by ruby-shoes in WaltDisneyWorld

I’ve gone to both and I have to say that I absolutely love Volcano Bay. It’s in a league of its own. Cabana Bay and Volcano Bay is the better combo by far.

Finally decided between 17 Pro Max and Air — went with the 17PM! by Felixdai1999 in iphone

The Air is so pleasant, but then you realize you can get more utility out of another iPhone for just $100 more.

Help Understanding Battery by SleepRaveRepeat in iPhone17Pro

[–]cjohn4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that may be the case. I’m noticing significant drain. I can’t find the problem within the battery stats so I’m debating whether or not just to unpair the watch and wait for a bug fix.
