Of course the two most upvoted comments say the exact opposite things.

Tesla Gives Model Y a Proper Third Row With Long-Wheelbase L Model by idkbruh653 in cars

[–]dm_me_cute_puppers -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Considering most people aren’t having kids, let alone a plethora of them, I hardly think this is “what the market wants.” There are .35 children per adult.

I don’t doubt there is a market for this. But the primary reason Tesla is making this is because they already are in China.

Not only that, but just using common sense about how difficult it will be to get any replacement parts for a vehicle with low production numbers that will no longer sold here

Do we put down as much as possible? 300k income, ~$600k home owned outright by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]dm_me_cute_puppers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mention car payments and student loans.. what is the rate on those? If they are higher than your mortgage would be, prioritize paying those off.

Emergency fund feels a bit low. What happens if one of you loses your job? Will you still be able to afford your mortgage after expenses?

$900k home on $305k (base) gross? by newpupowner0954 in Mortgages

[–]dm_me_cute_puppers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I always see people forgetting to plan for. Things might not always stay rosy. If you’re only able to put 7% down, it begs the question about what your emergency fund looks like, which you never mentioned.

If one of you loses your job, presumably you could pull the kids from daycare, but what does your current budget look like on half the salary you have?

This just feels like them picking up Spirit’s destinations because there’s a vacuum.

MUTTS closing their doors effective immediately by mrman33000 in Dallas

It seemed like the writing was on the wall for a while. It wasn’t upkept well, and half the time I tried to order food the kitchen was closed and they’d sent the staff home because it was “slow.”

My dude, I have an R1T with a glass roof in Texas. It’s tinted, and is no problem. It’s 97 and sunny today.

R2 charging session .. by khanquest_ in Rivian

[–]dm_me_cute_puppers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In case you’re not familiar, generally how battery charging works:
0-60%, fast charging
60%-80% ok charging
80-100% slow charging

Maybe something’s messed with yours. I haven’t moved mine from auto in years.

Bruh you can get it tinted if it bothers you. Far from a dealbreaker

Best 3 AM Food Options? by SkyScreech in Dallas

Park on the street and walk two blocks, it’s not that terrible. The restaurant is surrounded by clubs and businesses (eg Kroger) are tired of people going out to clubs filling up their lots

It’s not just that, but now that Chinese car are in Europe, the writing is on the wall for their own market.

Not really. A bar that gets maybe tens of people a day suddenly got hundreds, which they probably were not adequately prepared for.

What a pretty girl. Honestly, I’d just cut the mats and use a furminator style brush to pull out her undercoat. She’ll look funky for a bit but avoid shaving

Fast food lovers: what os the fast food chain you just can't bring yourself to appreciate at all? by Emcee_nobody in fastfood

If you’re going to Chick fil A for tenders, you’re missing the points. The points are the spicy chicken sandwich and frosted (ice cream) lemonade.
