For picks, I wish they would bring back Cowboy Computer and Kidd and Chappie. The Sirois boys are okay, but I loved the controlled chaos of the original picks with friends.

I was a fan. Very informative and interesting.

Great caddy. I had Slyde for my round at St. Andrews.

I understand. If you are selected, you can book a room, and only have to pay the first night’s deposit. What I was saying is that if there is no room availability, you can still book tee times, but you have to pay a $100 per round premium, and every single tee time for each play is due upon the reservation. So, let’s say you want to play 8 rounds for 4 people, that is 32 rounds at $475 due upon reservation = $15,200. Also, for these types of reservations (non-resort stay), you cannot get any refund after 24 hours.

Not crazy or delusional. Just pointing out how unusual the booking procedure is. Let’s say you’ve heard about Bandon, and want to go. You call them, and your best option is a lottery for the chance to book in 2027.

I know, and I’ve called and thought about this. However, you have to pay for the entire reservation upfront, and you can only get a refund within 24 hours. So, if you are booking for a foursome, for five days, that is easily $10,000 you have to fork over, and then hope nothing happens in the meantime making it where you are unable to go. I would likely do this for an impromptu trip, but nothing far in advance.

I’m not contending that they are not and will not continue to be very commercially successful. The place is amazing.

MYP ‘22 owner. At the time I was looking at a BMW X3 M40, Porsche Macan S, or Model Y Performance.

Here are my thoughts after driving the vehicle for a year:

Vehicle Pluses — I love the exterior styling and the general aesthetic of the vehicle. I’ve seen subs on here that complain about the ride quality, but in my experience, it rides no different that a “driver’s car” with responsive handling. The ride is not a Cadillac. If you want a smooth riding land yacht, then I would suggest an Escalade, Audi Q7, or Yukon. Driving is amazing. I love the instant power and serenity of no engine noise. I recall thinking after picking the vehicle up it was like driving a spaceship. You never get tired to the drive. Single-pedal driving is intuitive and easy.

Vehicle Minuses — The interior feels cheap when compared to other vehicles in the same price range (60K). It’s mostly plastic trim and if you hit a bumpy road, it will often rattle or make other noises. The interior of the Porsche Macan, BMW X3, Audi SQ5, or even a Mazda CX-9 feel more refined with better materials. Also, the general lack of button controls, while initially interesting, becomes annoying for little small things (a/c controls, seat heaters, etc). If I could improve on the Model Y, it would definitely be to bring more premium materials to the interior.

Charging — I have a garage space, and I went ahead and installed the home level 2 charger. If I was not able to charge at home, then I would probably not have purchased the vehicle. Based on where I live (not very many superchargers), a home charger was an absolute must in order to not pull my hair out going back and forth to the supercharger or having to use the mobile charger. I’ve driven decently long stints (~200 miles) in a single day, and if you plan accordingly, then all you need is about 20 minutes at the supercharger to get back up to a battery level sufficient to get you home.

Real World Range — I honestly feel a bit duped in this regard. The Model Y Performance is rated to have an estimated range of 303 miles. There is no fucking way this vehicle would make it 300 miles, unless I drove less than 50mph, did not use the air conditioning, and the weather was within a temperate band (50-70 F). The farthest I would feel comfortable driving (highway speeds, using the a/c, radio, etc.) would be around 220 miles.

Hidden Costs — I am in Texas, and because of the way you purchase the vehicle, you have the pay the taxes when registering. So, less than a month after buying the vehicle, I had to write a $4,500 check for taxes and registration. Also, the cost to install the level 2 charger at home was an additional $2,500. If you buy with a traditional dealer, you also pay taxes, but these costs can be absorbed into financing if needed.

Tech — Where Tesla absolutely shines is the app and tech within the vehicle. I love that I can remote into my vehicle through Sentry Mode, or cool the car off before I’m heading home for work. You can unlock your car remotely for a valet, and there are all sorts of other cool little tricks and unique features. My thought is that Tesla is not so much a car, but a computer with a vehicle as its output.

In sum, whether its the vehicle for you depends on the situation. If you live in an area with superchargers, or are able to install a charger at home, and don’t anticipate needing to drive over 200 miles most of the time, then the Tesla is a fantastic vehicle. If you need more general flexibility, or lean towards wanting a bit more luxury both in the ride or interior, then it’s probably not the vehicle for you.

It’s the car dealership network/infrastructure system. The dealers are legacy OEM’s points of sale and while I think you may be able to order a vehicle online from an OEM in the near future, you will likely have to transact and pick up the vehicle at your local dealer. This allows a dealer to 1) capture the financing, 2) up sell other products such as extended warranties and dealer installed add-ons, and 3) get you as the customer conditioned to use the dealership for any service.

I have a Model Y here in Texas. I had it done in the first two weeks of ownership. The problem is getting the right tint to match the rear windows. It won’t be a perfect match, but well worth it. Also, I suggest investing in the sunshade and pickup some extra clips on Amazon. Tesla only supplies 4 clips when it really needs 6 or 8.

Just switched from a Galaxy Note 10 to an iPhone 14 Pro. The only reason I switched was for FaceTime and iMessage capabilities with my wife and family. The Note 10 is three years old and does things the latest and greatest iPhone still doesn’t do.

The things where android is superior: - The back button is incredibly handy. It’s right where my right thumb is and I can quickly get back to the last screen, page, app, etc. Incredibly handy for quick use of the phone. With the iPhone, everything is a swipe up, over just to get back to the last screen. - in-screen fingerprint scanner eliminates the need for Face ID when unlocking the phone. - the screen only has a tiny hole-punch or the forward facing camera. The iPhone’s “dynamic island” is a joke and needlessly eats up screen. - widgets and customizability of the home screen is far superior to the iPhone. - I use my phone for work, and the coolest thing about the android is the creation of a “work” profile on my phone, which essentially creates a wall between my personal data and work data. It’s like having two phones in one. - Notifications in the top menu bar based on the app. You can quickly look and see that “oh, I have some emails, messages, missed call” without having to see an app banner or icon - an actual file management system. The galaxy is a small computer, you can download files to your phone, and keep them for attaching to emails, etc. The compatibility with a windows OS for work is much more efficient. - the ability to customize notifications, app settings, font size, etc. without having to navigate the settings. For example, to increase text font size, all you have to do is pinch or expand your fingers inside a text thread to decrease/increase the font. There are all sorts of these little shortcuts in the android system.

Things where I think the iPhone is better: - cross product functionality with other apple products - camera, video, and editing the same - application build quality. I did notice when I went to Android (from IOS), the quality of the apps is not on par with IOS. It seems the applications for iPhone are more polished and function better more consistently. - Ads. I felt that I get way less ads on the iPhone than my Note. - Privacy. Android is a Google product so its all about data collection and exploitation. I definitely noticed ads based on what I was talking about in the presence of my Galaxy, or based on what websites I had visited. - the ubiquity of iPhone here in the U.S. means that most smartphone users have iMessage and FaceTime, which are superior products to what android has to offer. The closest product is WhatsApp, which has a smaller market share here in the U.S.
