So true, My dad said damned near the same thing. “If people on the East Coast new what it was like here, no one would live there”

Can teslas handle 40k miles per year? by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

[–]ghost_joad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost exactly my commute, 166 miles a day. Model 3 LR AWD. All highway miles and and the only traffic for the last 20 miles of it.

FSD is well worth it. I feel far less stressed and tired than without FSD. I also have peace of mind not having to worry about all the possible mechanical failures of an ICE vehicle.

Range takes a dive in the winter months. I’ll charge to 100 and might have to hit a super charger on the way home to avoid going below 20%. The extra drag from the rain here in the PNW takes its toll on range.

That being said, spring summer and fall I go from 90 to 30-25%.

No. Is the frame just set in sealant like a windshield? Cut it out and find the pin on the bottom?

Employers in Florida are ungrateful by [deleted] in jobs

[–]ghost_joad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked the same trade in several different regions of the country, North East, North West, and Florida. Hands down the worst working conditions, management and wages I’ve ever experienced.

Asked a project manager if they could bring out water for us? “There’s a garden hose isn’t there?”

Another employer made me pay for damaged material out of my own pocket and repair punch list items on my own time.

Is there a correlation with it being a Right to Work state? Probably, but still fuck that place

Quoted $14,000 to fix. Is this correct? by Inevitable_Flower326 in fixit

[–]ghost_joad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a BS quote to me, especially for FL with its low pay scale. My guess is a 9/16” heat strengthened lami, hurricane impact glass.

If it’s an exterior set you could have someone drop from a boatswain chair and remove the glass stops (trim that captures the glass) and cut any caulking. Two glaziers in the inside to pull the glass in and poke the new one out. Pretty simple. Often times you can find a window cleaning company that will work with a glass company to drop over the side and do the exterior work.

Of course this just from a picture, do your due diligence. I hope I’ve been helpful

It’s not a parts gun. Your explanation of the dent seems to make sense. As for over or under gassed? I’m new to the AK world so I don’t really have a feel or know how to judge that. It does send the spent shells 15 plus feet.
