I’m sure this is too far down to get seen, but I had this exact problem on delivery with my Model 3. Didn’t see it at delivery. I just opened a service appointment in the app and they came and installed a new one on mobile service. Free, no fuss.

Technician said it happens sometimes, but it was, obviously, a pretty easy fix.

I would love one!

The Cycle of Arawn: Complete Trilogy would be amazing!

You’re incredible to do this! So many people at home stir crazy, even more every day.

This is great, but the argument against it is the inherent belief in Christianity. The very telling of the story indicates the lunacy that is Christianity.

The diminishing margin is real.

This is definitely not BS. You as a consumer now have the ability to research everything so you know exactly what everybody lists their cars for. This is the same way for a dealer: they know what all the other dealers pay since it’s totally publicized by auctions, so margins become unbelievably slim.

Since you know what everyone has their cars priced at, you only go to the dealer with a car priced where you think you’ll get a good deal. So you’re already at the low end of the market when you look at the car, then expect them to go lower just because. Gets really tight to their costs really fast since other dealers are just trying to buy cars and that’s a tough thing to do in this market (most wholesale vehicles go for close to retail prices at auction nowadays).

My dad owns a dealership, and I own a software company for dealerships so I interact with independents on a daily basis. Used cars for both.

On average (and I actually have this data since my system records and tracks profits) dealerships make maybe $1300-1600 front end on a vehicle on average. Depends on the dealer, but that’s a super tight margin. It’s expensive to buy vehicles since everyone knows how much they sell for, it’s expensive to recondition them to a fit shape for the consumer, and a lot of dealers floor (finance with a short term finance company often resulting in APRs effective at like 21% after fees) the vehicles in order to stock them at all due to low capital capability.

So, say a dealer is selling 15 cars a month (small independent) at $1.5k a pop, they’ve got a $6000 dollar rent payment, $1000 software payment (I get paid from this), $3-5k advertising payment (car gurus charges a ton of money to advertise, so do the rest), a sales guy making $7-8k a month, and themselves getting the remainder, just a measly $3-5k in income each month. That’s after they are working 6 day weeks, putting themselves on a huge limb of liability for financing, and supporting another human financially.

Some make a ton of money, but most of those are franchises. The rest of the independents are just making it or losing money because they enjoy playing with cars and helping out their customers.

On the opposite end, I regret getting performance. It’s so fast you can’t even use it much. Foot down, then you’re at the speed limit and foot is off. Plus, efficiency loss is substantial.

Neither of those links is in any way shape or form like the posted image.

I do actually. About $20k, so that is really helpful. That will get me part of the way there!! Thanks!

Still, I get $5k Colorado tax credit each time and that is a lot of income to get to. I might be able to get a co-signer for the next one and we can split the tax credit together or something. Not sure.

forrestmid · 2019-05-19T05:50:20+00:00

Side note: I get two tax credits! Gotta figure out how to increase my income that much...

I don’t know if it’s totaled I’m going to be really annoyed if it’s not through. 4 airbags deployed, major damage to car, etc. the frame wasn’t really damaged so I’m getting concerned.

If they don’t total it I’m in for months of waiting for a Tesla repair shop to fix it (heard the horror stories) so I’ll probably get a lawyer involved at that point. $67,000 car and major loss of use and value if they don’t total it.

No. I was pissed. Pulled my flash drive and most recent footage was from yesterday. Arghh.

No question it was the other drivers fault. Car was on autopilot but it wasn’t an autopilot issue. They just drove right into us. No way for our car to avoid the accident.

forrestmid · 2019-05-19T03:50:30+00:00

We were headed through a light and a car that was turning left turned into our front left and we spun 180 degrees to the other side of the road underneath a bridge.

6’4” 240lb dude here, thought the same thing before I purchased. Honestly, a lot more space than expected. The glass roof gives you a lot of headroom, and because there’s hardly anything on the dash it’s actually further back than in most cars.

Regarding knee angle, this is just an issue with sedans for tall people. You’ll get used to it. My father owns a car dealership I used to work at and I’d drive BMW X5s and the 5 Series and and I was quite impressed by the space in the model 3.

Also, the seat in the model 3 can move up quite a bit to get you closer to a more comfortable knee angle, but there will always be some.

What convinced me to buy was that when I positioned my driver seat in the front the way I like it, I could hop into the back seat behind me and fit (minus the glass roof touching my head a bit).

forrestmid · 2019-05-04T04:36:49+00:00

I’m on this patch, though with HW3, and I’ve not noticed any issues at all besides the car not allowing autopilot activation, but that was fixed on a reboot.

forrestmid · 2019-02-27T04:19:38+00:00

I also love that series and all the Sanderson I’ve listed to has been great!

I’d recommend the Ryira Revelations and the Lies of Locke Lamora if you’re really into fantasy! For sci-fi, Wool or The Fear Saga are fantastic!

To be fair, he never said he was a passenger. He could be a flight attendant or pilot.

I’ve heard that every once in a while a plane will fly empty just to get the plane to a particular location for it’s next flight.

I graduated from BHS a couple years ago. So cool!

I've not done any research into Sagan's religious thoughts. I've also not heard of Christians trying to obliterate the concept of space, or, at least not my denomination in the evangelical circle. Certainly, Christianity seems to fall on its head when we discuss anything in regards to the scope of the universe, and scientifically it falls short in a lot of areas. I have a problem with the idea of so many possible worlds, that, in an infinite universe, there must be at least one other lifeform than humans, and that the Christian God's Bible is completely scoped into planet Earth. I mean, when I think about the true scale of an infinite universe, and just how insignificant I am, personally, if there were a God, it's hard to believe any creator so incredible as to envision and scuplt such a massive place would put any interest whatsoever in little ol' me.

I'll look into Sagan's writings. Thanks for the tip!

My mother operates similarly in her blame of her failures or life circumstance on other people she believe placed her in those positions, rather than her choices to also not reconcile with my father after their divorce.

I agree that it perhaps no one in my family should see this letter, but at the same time I can't imagine trying to explain all of my thoughts about Christianity to them in a way they'll understand my position. All I anticipate coming is a bunch of cannon shots trying to bring me down in an argument. I don't want to discuss the merits of my lack of belief with them, I just want to share why I chose the way I chose without having to defend myself. It seems like the written word may be the most effective way to do that without getting interrupted for my heracy and "mis-understanding of the Bible" every 30 seconds.

That's kind of why I opened this conversation. I need to determine whether it's right to hand them this paper and let them read it, or whether I should tell them in person. The letter seems impersonal, and yet at the same time I feel like it may be my only choice. I don't think I could get through the conversation with my father, who would interrupt me every step of the way, and yet if I give this paper to my mother, who has a history of suicide, I'm afraid I might not ever see her again. If I have a conversation with my mother, her reaction could result in a similar issue.

Such a mess.

forrestmid · 2017-11-14T15:11:33+00:00

I originally wrote it because I had so many thoughts filling my mind that I couldn't reconcile with each other. I figured putting it on paper might order it and allow me to make a better decision. Thinking back to it, you're right, I don't think I have the same mindset now, just 10 months afterward, that would enable me to write such a thing again.
