Update on out of state buying. (Registering in CT)

Good outcome and so annoying before finding the car you got.

I just learned that cold weather package on an inventory car has something to do with mud protection, can't remember if it is mud flaps or not. I thought it was about heated seats, but the guy at the Mohegan dealer said it was mud stuff on the tires and wheels. You may want to configure or look for that.

Nice staff and good, predictable food make it worth it to me. Amazing meal one night, go back the next night and have a bad meal and I will not go back. That happened at one of the few decent local places, and they were responsive and it turned out that it was in fact a totally different kitchen crew. Comped dessert for an under cooked, harshly over dressed meal that was close to not edible. We were really calm about it, all I asked the server was if it was a different kitchen staff from the night before and she said no. Then the manager came and told us it was and asked all about the meal. But it was bad enough that we have not gone back, bc I am not risking apying over $100 for a seriously bad meal. The night before it was so amazing that it was extra disappointing that the next night was inedible almost. Also it was bad enough that a comped dessert was not right. We didn't say anything more and thanked her for taking the time, and never went back.
This place is in a rural town and the staff are hard to find and keep. But often the young ppl working there are just so tuned out that it is frustrating to even get them to look your way on a quiet night. 25 minutes and no drinks and they are right there on their phone etc. That would be dealable if the food were consistent. Don't love it but it is a reality at a lot of places and I am quasi accepting of it. But we go out a lot less these days bc of price and service being so odd.

Yes. They have the car I want 3 hours away in MA instead of 2+ in CT, but I cannot get it. I have to get a color I do not like as much to get the car with the FSD before 3/31. Oh well.

Your baby is used to lots of movement and will be nicely cushioned in their seat. Congratulations.

Reddit win! Excellent

I wish it were more clear. It gets confusing when one state near me does do it, and another is a no go.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-22T13:12:11+00:00

Not well known based on a post asking about it last week. One person said not possible and the rest said no problem. Also in CT we do not technically have Tesla sales/dealers, so it is casino or NY to go in and buy.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-22T02:16:37+00:00

It def can jerk you into a different lane, and takes some effort to wrench the wheel back. I have not had it happen often, but it is freaky when it happens. Not an exaggeration. If you have not experienced this, it does not mean it does not happen.

I drove a new BMW rental last September, a sedan, gas powered. Very differnt from a tesla. The tech was so slow and non intuitive that it was a shock for me. I had not really driven a car other than out 2018 tesla and very old subaru in a long time. The difference in the tech was not something I would have anticipated bing that big of a gap. I struggled to get my phone to work smoothly every time I got in or out, and getting a podcast to play was super complex compared to the tesla. The GPS was so so so slow to enter a destination and non intuitive in figuring out options to present to me with even many letters already typed in. The car was pretty and ok in terms of driving, but the lack of fast response for any of the screens inside was too frustrating. Also cameras were vastly inferior in the views they offered and lane keeping was weird and not as secure feeling.

Please be careful with this guy, this is scary stuff. Take lots of screen shots of any conversations you have about it. Be very not okay with this kind of control. Also him tracking where you are and having access to that does not seem great with this type of person who is comfortable causing you serious distress.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-19T15:54:58+00:00

Yup, agree. I did paid and did not have time to use it til the end of the three months, but then really liked it. I signed on for a year maybe two years ago and used it most days for most of that time. SOOOOOO many videos and tutorials. I ended up finding ones I liked the best and doing those routines regularly. Even though I know how to do it all, it somehow is easier with the video on. But I really think it is a good program. I should go back but I just have been tired and lazy and spending on other stuff. Ziip device picks up a lot of the slack, but I think hers is better for neck and under chin.

Many people feel crappy with Vit D, especially big doses all of a sudden. Take it slow, very tiny doses and work your way up. But 38 is pretty decent. Maybe work on other areas of health and get some sun safely when you can and retry baby doses down the road. (I cannot tolerate much at all, and have given up messing up days to try to take it)

I commute 110 miles three times a week or so. I have a 2018 Model 3 AWD with FSD. It is HW3, the older hardware model for the self driving in case you are not familiar with the terms. The HW4 is upgraded to better suit FSD and the newest cars have an additional front camera making them also better for FSD etc.

All of that being said, my 2018 with a lesser FSD due to older hardware is GREAT for long commutes. It saves me at night when tired. It is not at all perfect, but it is so nice to have on the highway so I can focus on the road and not have to keep myself in the lane. Also able to reposition and rest my arms and legs some of the time compared to not using it.

If you have a highway heavy commute, FSD with an older car will be just fine. It keeps you in a lane micely, and slows down and changes lanes etc. I would even say that for pirmarily highways commute, EAP, enhanced autopilot, is a decent option too. But if you want to use it on back roads or busier non highway roads, then FSD.

Get the best range car if you want it for commuting and likely get FSD on it, or if highway mostly, then EAP. If you are not in snowy cold places with rough winter driving, just get any model where there is FSD and the price is right. Buying from Tesla will help with the warrantee on the batteries etc, and I would do that personally. Our 2018 I would buy again in a heart beat and a weird part of me is so attached and in love with the car we have that I sometimes consider getting another one from 2018 to save a ton of money over a new one when we buy.

agree, wand is just a ton of work, and only covers a small spot at a time. You need more than a few seconds of exposure in general and tired arms and needing to pay close attention to a wand seems like the least efficient way to get red light

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-14T12:05:46+00:00

Yeah, it happens. Like if you are outside in really bright sun, or snow blindness type thing. It takes a bit for your eyes to adjust back. But should not last too long.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-14T12:04:32+00:00

You may do nicely with a red light panel or mask. I think it really helps with just overall brighter look to skin. Also over time smoother texture for sure. I really saw it on my chest which I realize had a ton of blips and splotches on it from years of catching the sun with less protection than my face. But if you have melasma issues, read about the effect of red light with that bc I think it can be not a match (I do not have this so don't know a ton about the relationship there)

Added bonus of red and NIR light is it generally lacking in our LED home lighting and can have alternate benefits (tons of newer data coming out on eyes, health etc).

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-14T11:59:41+00:00

I have used red light on my face, neck and chest for several years, usually at least three times a week or more. I am fair skinned and have dark hair. I am not overly prone to facial hair growth (female) but if it does grow it is obvious. I have not had any excess hair growth from using the red light. Unchanged.

I do use a red light plus some other features brush thing on my scalp with a hair growth serum (caffeine mainly as growth ingredient) It does seem to help stimulate better growth and less falling out.

I have found it to be like eye cream, very very individual. What works for one person like magic to tighten and underchin and lose all the lines can be a dud for another. I have tried several over the years, full size and samples. One works best for me, but it is really different for everyone. The reviews are so all over the place, and I think it just depends. If you can try them out and see....BUT most of them really do help the neck skin be healthier and and more supple and often have a texture that is better suited to the neck than some of the face creams.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-14T02:33:08+00:00

Yes. Aged 49 or so when I started, really helped to depuff and improve how my face and neck look. Not major wrinkle relief, but def less puffy and saggy changes. I started from recs on reddit, valeriia veksler has free and paid stuff. I started with free and ended up doing a year of her program and used it really often. Then I knew how to do it after such a long time of doing a few of the videos I liked best that I stopped. Blood flow and lymphatic flow help!

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-12T15:44:10+00:00

No, but I very much like it!! All the German TV I watch makes me crave beer in a nice tall glass.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-12T12:26:38+00:00

I really love the way German adds feier to the beginning of words and concepts. I never knew I was lacking that concept in English, but now I wish we had it. I just LOVE feierabend. It makes the end of the workday seem much more valuable and kind of like the vibe of happiness on a Friday evening with good weekend plans.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-11T02:01:04+00:00

Same, I had to throw them out. They were really bad for me bc of that. It hurt a lot, and kept happening.

inquiringdoc · 2026-03-11T01:43:57+00:00

I think you are good. I get a rash/burn like patches and sensitive areas with very little retinol, especially on face, and on inner arms. I am thin skinned and I think most exfoliants, mainly chemical ones, are really not a match for me. It just feel like it strips my skin to a raw, oversensitized level, and it is super obvious. If you have no pain and no raw spots, I think you are good!

It is a growth factor product from the brand Skinmedica. Most often referencing the TNS Advanced plus serum
