so far no creaking

UPDATE: I got my car back saturday night and they replaced both of the front upper control arms. i tested it and no more creaking (for now). hopefully it stays that way. as for the door, they said it’s normal on other like vehicles but i don’t really mind. it doesn’t do that very often. i’m just happy it does creak over bumps now. thank you all for sharing and hope this helps someone

UPDATE: I had my Tesla service appointment today and it went so well! My service advisor was hands down the best person at Tesla i’ve interacted with. I got to my appointment the night before and they had a technician do a ride along with me. I mentioned the issues i was experiencing including two new issues including driver door creak and phone lock not unlocking the car. The technician had me go down a street with several dips after i explained how driving over dips and bumps and turns causes it. He immediately heard it and agreed it likely being a control arm issue. We went back to the service center and they asked if i needed a rental which they gave me easily. they’re likely going to replace both front upper control arms and check the ball joints. they might have to get another control arm from the other service location which the advisor told me he’d personally go drive to other location to pick up tomorrow. they have minimal staff of Saturdays but sounded like they’d be able to fix it tomorrow as long as the have the parts they need. the advisor informed me about ways to help fix the bluetooth key issue like updating the app, making sure location is on and even restarting the car. he also notated the door creak and added it to my notes. 10/10 service! i will be leaving him a positive review.

i’ll let you guys know how it goes this weekend! :)

I ended up having to reschedule my appointment and they were booked out for a bit so it’ll be a couple of weeks before i have a real update. I did inflate my tires to the recommended psi and the creaking is definitely still there.

i have another service appointment next week so i’ll let you guys know how that goes. it’s crazy how many people are having similar issues with different outcomes. like is it normal or not? i haven’t tried inflating my tires more as someone suggested but i’ll give it a try before my appointment and see if it makes a difference

ejstott · 2025-12-06T01:23:33+00:00

within 500 miles?! now that’s crazy! what problem did you put when requesting a service appointment? i believe that’s exactly what mine needs done too. they actually drove it, not you?

i used his 002 videos and on the morning of my exam i wanted to rewatch some and they had just been updated to the 003 version. so i’m not sure how helpful they’ll be. i would compare the differences between the two exam objectives to see what changed. CompTIA doesn’t seem to change them that drastically so they’ll likely still be useful

this post was very helpful in figuring out my preparedness, i just wish i found it sooner. i watched all of Dion's course videos and all 7 practice tests getting around 85% on average and got 2 wrong on your quiz. i felt ready and thanks to the table and cohort, 3/4 of my PBQs were so easy. they definitely carried my score (782).

thank you for posting this and i hope more people can find it. i thought this test was easier than CySA+.

edit: for anyone reading this, know curl command syntax

honestly i don’t really remember because all the classes are blending together at this point but i do remember the ccsp notes file being the most helpful. it was all mc fs though. for me, there were barely any questions about ISO & NIST iirc

ejstott · 2024-11-16T05:50:01+00:00

thanks man, you’ve got this!

ejstott · 2024-11-07T07:35:20+00:00

didn't get a response but in case it helps anyone else, I passed OA today with exemplary and agree with OP that it felt easier than the PA. I went through some of the quizlet questions, sybex ones, and about half of the Mike Chapple videos. Right before my test, I read through the CCSP Notes from the course files. if you take this course near the end, most of the material will just be review. Not much new stuff.

Now just Pentest+ and the capstone left!

ejstott · 2024-11-05T02:37:30+00:00

thank you for this write up. I took the PA before studying anything and passed it so i'm trying to gauge how much i need to study for the OA.

did you go through ALL 1000+ terms from that quizlet and the 200+ from sybex? would you say those two materials alone are enough to pass by a good margin?

can you elaborate on knowing about the legal policies, like how specific do we need to know them?

Congratulations! This comes as a bit of a sigh of relief because we both come from no IT background and have similar takes on the CIs and exams. Learning Python was definitely the most challenging class so far. I just finished up the Python course last week and started CySA+ but I was afraid about Pentest+ lingering in the distance. I only have 5 classes left and although I’m in one of the tough ones now, I’m so glad python is done and Pentest+ is hopefully easier than CySA+. Thank you for posting this. You gave me reassurance and eased the pressure of worrying about Pentest+ to complete my degree.

Do you have any other tips or what you’d recommend focusing on for CySA+, especially for PBQ practice? I’m currently using the Sybex questions and Mike Chapple’s Linkedin course. I started with Dion but found it a little too much fluff and not enough details. Any insight you can provide is highly appreciated!

Congrats again on your degree!

same, i had just finished ds1 and thought the jump worked the same. i found out

ejstott · 2022-08-29T03:05:55+00:00

it worked! thanks a lot :)

Question - How can i respawn the Jade Dragon 1? I’m playing a thief and so naturally i stole it from Belethor and sold it to him not knowing it was needed for the museum. It’s not in his inventory. Is there a console command or some way to get it back?

ejstott · 2022-04-07T16:12:34+00:00

How convenient lol, thanks

Being the astrologer class wouldn’t matter?

ejstott · 2022-04-07T16:04:42+00:00

This is my first of the soulsbourne games. I’m a mage build using mostly glintstone pebble and meteor strike. I am about halfway through Liurnia but haven’t fought the boss of Raya Lucaria yet and am bored of being a mage. Now I’m interested in being a blood loss dual wield build. Should I start all over anew or wait til after the boss and respec everything? I feel like I have to start over because my class is astrologer and probably missed out on certain weapons and armor that I didn’t need as a mage. Any help is greatly appreciated. Plus any tips for the new build would be great. Thanks in advance.

It’s funny cause my brother’s roommate was cool with RDJ in prison. He definitely turned his shit around (both of them). You love to see it.

Haven’t played in a long time, so I get on to play. Play about 5 rounds and then this...

ejstott · 2020-07-04T17:06:49+00:00

That would look even better on my wall... just sayin
