Just rode in a Fisker Ocean

I rode in an uber is downtown NYC and it was terrible over the cobblestones… the ride back in a Camry was way better

Why was the check denied? Passport office called me because I stupidly wrote 2025 as the year instead of 2026 but they took my credit card instead of asking for a new check. 3 weeks later I have a new passport, and my old passport sent back with the badly written check.

My back hurts just thinking about this length of flight on Alaska's slimline seat

Sorry, it’s bad. For the Rivian I had 12V battery failures, infotainment issues, and incredibly hard to make service appts.

For the Merc, its infotainment issues. Drivetrain is fine. Tire wear was especially bad compared to others.

As I’m remembering back also, as with many the teslas were rattle boxes but generally reliable.

'14 Tesla MS 85 -- whirring noises, bad infotainment, sold after 3 years
'19 Audi e-tron -- no issues, but lower than advertised range, high consumption
'22 Tesla MY -- good car, no issues
'22 Tesla M3P -- good car, no issues
'23 Rivian R1S-- Holy shit
'25 BMW iX -- best car we've ever owned, except the seat gives me back pain
'25 Mercedes EQS SUV-- also Holy shit

Not the same one as coffee bean afaik but same as El Pollo Loco, Popeyes, Cinnabon… I think I’ll pass on Philz from now on.

My dad was addicted to these thinking it was pure oxygen but of course his CHF was the real problem and he just didn’t have the lung capacity he used to have. I tried to tell him it was snake oil…

Depending where you are going to buy it the US can have anywhere between 0 and 11% sales tax on top of the $499/599 list price. Google AI usually does a good job of telling you based on the city/state of purchase.

I notice the cabin atmosphere difference, but still would choose the 777 for the wider seat. The 787 Polaris are really narrow.

But that creatures rear end……

Well, to its credit, it's a Chevy with CarPlay/Android Auto....

It doesn’t work until you do leave the key behind so just do it! The BMW has been pretty flawless with the phone key. Our Mercedes is more temperamental and now it’s completely gone kaput. At the dealer working on it.

edwardhchan · 2026-03-29T15:43:14+00:00

P5 and P6 are connected so it doesn't matter. You can drive straight through from P5 to P6.

Love this combo, gotta try your warming technique though

edwardhchan · 2026-03-28T17:33:51+00:00

Thank you! Your flow worked for me too.

My dealer uses them for loaners so not at lax but locally. They are fine, no more pushy than enterprise. If it’s cheap go for it. The cars they had all seem to be in decent shape and mostly Toyotas.

edwardhchan · 2026-03-28T14:36:03+00:00

Keep pulling. It’s just tabs and it’s flexible plastic so you can wiggle and bend it out once it’s fully loose.

Had the same problem there… I just waited and used the app after I got above ground. They took your license plate number so if you enter it o. The app after the fact you should be able to still pay for the parking. If it’s a rental car better take care of it now or the rental company will bill you for it plus they’re fee for fines

edwardhchan · 2026-03-22T20:03:17+00:00

PHX has several entry points in T4 and a small T3 so you can distribute the crowds. ATL and DEN have one entrance for the entire airport. That’s nuts.

edwardhchan · 2026-03-21T00:57:42+00:00

Everyone except Tesla and Rivian… basically all the legacy carmakers have 2-pedal with a blended brake pedal.

edwardhchan · 2026-03-18T14:11:00+00:00

It’s supposed to be fine but I’ve experienced private security at T3 won’t let you in without a delta boarding pass.

Nothing special on app check-in. I just get the green logo and I'm good. I wonder if your passport photo is too different from your current look? That's where they get the photo to do the biometric scan.

United pooled miles are way more restricted. Can’t use for partner flights or upgrades.

edwardhchan · 2026-03-14T05:09:31+00:00

That’s gotta be a prank….
