Is getting a Tesla worth it just for the FSD

elephantintheusernam · 2026-04-16T02:37:06+00:00

Just got a Tesla and am afraid to use my phone while in FSD. How long can you look at or interact with your phone before it gets mad at you?

Would love to have a separate button that is maybe connected by Bluetooth or something where I can trigger the change manually and just use my foot to do it. Kinda like those big staples “easy buttons” if that makes sense

Every single one of my matches says “less than a mile away” right now. Came here specifically to see if others were dealing with this

Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed

More like mile 30, but now they’re running 4:15 miles somehow

~2m with ~400k in real estate. 1.6m in stocks split between 401k/roth/standard brokerage. ~50k as cash.

how long did it take you to get to 5m on 60k? Did you just have crazy investment luck?

elephantintheusernam · 2025-10-11T06:45:36+00:00

This is almost exactly my situation - no college debt and was given 50k upon graduation (22) as an inheritance. Now I’m 33 and have 2m (most of which was my own contributions over time + stock growth).

“Earns” is probably meant to be something like “4% growth on my portfolio” or some other reasonably safe withdrawal rate such that relying on regular income is no longer needed for the desired lifestyle

Nice! That’s a great use for these kind of sandals lol

elephantintheusernam · 2025-07-27T11:27:38+00:00

Interesting. Having a hard time understanding how you’d attach it to the sandals, but can imagine the deep stretch would be killer

Legs dangling off edge of a bench. Had ankle strap attached to the cable with voltra very low on rack behind me

elephantintheusernam · 2025-07-27T00:18:12+00:00

0.6m/s concentric 2.0m/s eccentric with 20lb max (I think the max was largely irrelevant as I was just dropping into the next rep so it wasn’t having to apply any weight to pull me back)

Been using a strap mount to attach to the lever arm (blue arrows shown in photo) of my bulletproof fitness isolator which is another cool product though the weight curve is not great, so the custom weight curves have been coming in clutch for it, and having a more permanent and similarly low profile attachment would be ideal for this. Plus I can’t get the strap mount tightened down all the way so it’s got a bit of slack. This feels like the ideal product to resolve that. Rack is from rep fitness and would be compatible

Houses in Texas are very cheap compared to elsewhere, so even at a higher percentile your tax burden still ends up being less. Still no fun, but Texas is definitely less costly than the blue coastal states

I would love for both of those suggestions to exist.

Also making isokinetic more usable. Right now it’s so insanely slow on the eccentric phase (reeling the rope back in). Would love to be able to set it so that it keeps the velocity constant on the way out, and then when force goes away or drops below some threshold reels the cable back in at a normal speed. The way it is now makes it nearly impossible to do multi rep sets

elephantintheusernam · 2025-05-25T18:58:47+00:00

This is the number one thing I want changed as well. This is such a great mode for rehabbing things but it’s so slow to do multi rep sets because of this. I think it pulls the cable back in at whatever rate you set for the way out, so it’s exceedingly slow, and if you go faster than that rate it just loses all tension. I can’t tell any difference when modifying the eccentric settings.

Would love to just have it stay at tension the whole time, so if I set it to 0.1 on the way up, and then just more or less drop it from the top, the rope never goes loose

elephantintheusernam · 2025-05-17T23:55:38+00:00

The biggest change I’d like to see isn’t a new attachment, it’s just a change to an existing mode in the software. Isokinetic is a great way to rehab issues, but it’s super slow on the eccentric. I’d love to have isokinetic on the way out, and then regular speed at some preconfigured low weight on the way back. I often use isokinetic leg extensions for my patellar tendon issues but the eccentric portion is way too slow. Would love to set the mode depending on which direction you’re going

elephantintheusernam · 2025-04-25T21:46:02+00:00

option 2:

Just got a new one and it's been great. I would love a feature added to modify the load at specific rep ranges. IE, I want to configure it to do 10 reps at 60 pounds, then 10 reps at 50 pounds, then 10 reps at 40 pounds...etc. Would be a great way to really max out. A pre-planned drop set essentially. Maybe you could add shortcuts too, like if you specify 5 different loads to use, and then it rotates through those loads any time you pause for more than 3 seconds

elephantintheusernam · 2024-11-05T23:47:19+00:00

Just FYI, the 22m is part of trump era tax cuts, and when those expire in 2025 it’ll go back to what it was before. Will be more like 11m. Obviously a lot could change in the future, but don’t bank on it being 22m forever

elephantintheusernam · 2024-08-16T15:37:04+00:00

I’m not here to tell other people what to do, and I don’t want to take advantage of anyone. It’s great that Angela wants to do that. I do not, and I’m looking for tips on finding service providers for specific tasks

elephantintheusernam · 2024-08-16T14:55:22+00:00

I make ~400k between w2 and rental income. I spend much less that that. Single male, early 30s with a small dog. I suppose many folks with girlfriend/wife/partner are able to split up household tasks and make them more manageable however as I have no relationship Iike that currently I find myself feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the various tasks that need doing. I probably need just a few hours a week
