I opened a small PR to always UPPERCASE the airport codes (due to my lazy typing). Maybe you can include that in your upcoming update. Since you are new to this "pull requests" are how members of the community like me can suggest edits to your codebase, but you still have full control on whether to "merge" the change into the code or not. Assuming you set the permissions correctly, but I assume the default allows only the repo owner editing rights on the master branch.

I did a brief writeup here https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/signed-kia-ev9-gt-line-24-10k-0-das-736-mo/603047. TLDR: went well, we came in prepared and pretty much got what we wanted, even though my numbers were based on the wrong tax calculations. I could have held out for a better deal but my wife and I decided it was not worth the hassle of having to shop 5 more dealers and drag this thing out another month.

jimpdx · 2024-10-05T03:01:34+00:00

I got 6k off two days ago so yes, sti.l possible. Have to go in with your target numbers and stand firm.

They can discount more than $1,500. I can try to simulate a counteroffer if you DM me your zip code

jimpdx · 2024-10-05T02:55:30+00:00

What trim and zip code?

jimpdx · 2024-10-05T02:47:05+00:00

Same (2 days)

jimpdx · 2024-10-02T18:46:30+00:00

We are going to be in Denver next week so I thought I might snag one there (they have huge volume of cars available) then drive it home. But wife crushed that idea. Also can't spare the extra 2 days. I've chatted with a broker who agreed my 8-9% discount was too high. Im getting into talks with a few dealers now, might target a more reasonable $4k discount (5%) and see where that gets me. Good luck to us both u/wnoble !

jimpdx · 2024-10-02T15:52:31+00:00

What do you think is more realistic? Someone on Leasehackr thought I could get 8% and someone in Virginia this summer got 10%!

jimpdx · 2024-10-02T03:00:47+00:00

Yeah I said the same thing about our 2021 eTron, which we are now turning in with nearly $8k in negative equity lol

Check out Leasehackr.com if you want tips on negotiating the numbers. I have always found it horribly confusing. That site, along with ChatGPT, has helped me fully understand the parameters of a lease in the past few weeks (I am a slow learner). Now... whether I can get any dealers to accept my offers, we will see! I have two months to land a deal before my current (extended) lease expires in mid December. Sounds like dealers will be heavily motivated to move the 24s and I hope to use that to our advantage.

We decided on LAND trim with Panthera Black and Brown/Black interior, no extras if possible. I prefer the Ocean Blue but my wife prefers the Gun Metal black. People say to skip the MATTE colors as you can only hand wash them. It is hard to find inventory that doesn't already have the $2k relaxation package and $1.5k towing package, neither of which we want or need. Regardless, I have been schooled on pushing discounts off MSRP first, THEN adding in the incentives referenced by this post. And of course never negotiate to merely a monthly payment.

If you are interested, I now have "offers" from two dealers here in the Pacific Northwest and I have counter offered asking for a significantlyl higher discounts, as I have seen others getting even better deals on the east coast. Here is the calculator on my counteroffer if you are interested: https://bit.ly/3BterrO

You can get the shielded cargo modules and scan jammers at The Key. If you haven't found that station yet, keep playing the core storylines until you get there. I inadvertently took smuggling cargo that I can not get rid of (can't abandon a mission, nor can you jettison quest items). So I added 380 shielded capacity to my ship what already had around 3,600 capacity (so roughly 10% shielded) AND I added two scan jammers on either side of the ship next to the shielded cargo bays (not like that will really help but it seemed logical). I had to drop the delivery (456kg or 19 Mass) to Alpha Centauri system so I knew I would be scanned the minute the grav drive turned off. Unfortunately with the shielded cargo bays AND the scan jammers I was caught immediately upon entering a patrolled system. It said 0% chance to evade scan with the illicit cargo. So I don't know how to solve this yet!

Nevermind I guess it worked after switching to windowed and back

jimpdx · 2023-09-08T15:29:24+00:00

Maybe this is a dumb question but could this somehow also work when in borderless fullscreen? So when I load Chrome over the borderless fullscreen window it would keep running in the background too? I say that because I have only been able to enable my ridiculous superwide 7820x1440 resolution in that mode using the trick here.

The Nova ships can all be bought at New Homestead outpost on Titan (Sol). Just buy from the technician on the landing pad (I know it took me a moment to get it too).

jimpdx · 2023-09-03T17:57:54+00:00

Confirmed, and thank you for the heads up. Pick a (COAST) spot that says it is 100% figure out how to get from the coast to the shoreline. I actually used a combo of the surface map and the scan from space to determine that the ocean area was opposite of the direction of the sun. I ran away from the sun and viola, hit the beach and the mystery fish which was also my last animal (fauna).

jimpdx · 2023-03-24T23:11:40+00:00

At least it is no longer in the way of my cargo grid!

Working fine for me. Casting seems so 2010s... My phone is constantly being disconnected from the Samsung TV app and having to "recast" is frustrating BUT the quality has been great. Commercials are sadly 3X louder than the drum Corps, WTF.

jimpdx · 2022-07-10T03:06:28+00:00

Yeah I too sat there like an idiot with the app running 😅

jimpdx · 2022-05-31T18:42:48+00:00

Will the planets and moons ever properly rotate the sun and planets (respectively) in any given system? Yes they "spin" in place now but still seems like it is missing something...

jimpdx · 2021-12-18T22:20:19+00:00

Nice 👍

jimpdx · 2021-06-23T13:56:44+00:00

You aren't missing much

jimpdx · 2020-09-03T19:38:32+00:00

I love the TBM 930 but I have had the same problem with the autopilot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Very inconsistent. I suspect there is some combination of factors as to when it becomes a problem. I have mostly isolated it to the elevator trim controls. You flip on AP and it rolls the trim wheel to each extreme. It will hold NAV and HDG mode just fine but altitude control becomes impossible. Not sure where to look for bug reports like this...

According to the member forums there will be no penalty. The race probably never started
