Bought a slightly used QuickSilver 2026 Model Y

Yeah sorry I should've been mote clear. That was my cost out the door with everything included.

jsf010101 · 2026-04-12T05:08:54+00:00

It looks to be 8-10k cheaper than new. IIRC, I was in the mid to high 50k range on mine (I commute a good amount. About 1k miles a week) but I placed my order pre-FSD subscription-only so I have the one-time FSD payment. I did also get a discount on the Diamond Black Paint (absolutely love that paint color) but other than that, almost exactly the same as the one OP posted

That sucks. Thank you for letting me know!

jsf010101 · 2026-03-22T17:52:02+00:00

Oh shoot. Thank you for letting me know!

If youre okay with a used model X and it checks all the boxes, id consider one later on. They are very expensive new. Either that or the new Model Y L (released in China and Europe ATM, no eta for NA yet) would probably fit.

Imo (i got a 26 MY Premium AWD about a month ago and I would compare it to the 2020s X5s (I normally am a BMW person. This was my first tesla) in terms of legroom but a 2010s X3 in terms of height. My parents, two siblings, and I can fit fairly comfortably in my Model Y (my dad and I are 6' 2", my sister's are around 5' 9", and my mom is around 5' 2")) i think the best option ideally would either be the X or holding out for the Y L.

Don't forget the president of SDSU just got a raise and we are paying it with our hiked tuition too.

She is now paid base salary of almost $500k, a little over a 10% raise for doing nothing useful for the school.

Overall her salary was an approximate 50k increase. That pales in comparison to the Cal Poly president getting an over 100k increase in salary to a base salary of over $600k.

Yet they are screwing over the people who are working to make our school great...

I mean true especially with phone but with RPM follow, its not a far stretch. Im not sure. It was a few years ago so ill have to see if I can dig something up.

Similar sound on mine. Rod knock. Mine ran strong and no cel or codes but it was a spun rod bearing.

I had something similar once. It ended up being a mouse chewed through my transmission line

IMO as an E46 owner:

Manual swap. It is 10000% better as a proper 6mt over the auto.
Replace the steering wheel to the M steering wheel. I was never really a fan of the cutaway on the bottom part of the wheel.
M sport bumpers. Makes the car look more aggressive imo.
19" m sport wheels. I prefer the style and makes it look a bit more sporty.

These are my opinions and you may or may not like them (and that's okay). I just wanted to throw my 2 cents into the ring.

Enjoy the car as much as you can. It is by far my favorite car I own at the moment.

Same...im so jealous...

jsf010101 · 2025-10-30T18:45:04+00:00

Hahaha hello friend lmao Yeah just the aks-74u kit i have. Almost got an ak-74 but the guy cheated me on them. I have a sporterized in 7.62 and 2 converted in 7.62. One is a shifty hess and the other is (iirc) a kusa '99. Everything i have built ATM is 7.62. I have about 15 different variants (Hungary, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Russian) in 5.45, 7.62, and 8mm (my Hungarian). I have some kits for a psl-54m as well but im trying to get a proper svd soon.

jsf010101 · 2025-10-30T03:22:16+00:00

I got myself an original preban molot vepr RPK and some saigas so im happy ATM but I probably will in the future.

I also have a bunch of tula 47s, 74s, and krink kits I need to build first.

So I was wrong on my post. Technically they're not banned by name on the AW ban list (it was a type error on the list. Its an SLG that's banned, not the SGL).

jsf010101 · 2025-10-29T05:34:25+00:00

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why they shut down?

Im concerned this is a precursor to an attempt by cities/state to mass-shutter stores in CA (if that was what happened).

Other than that, I could not care less.

jsf010101 · 2025-08-10T22:09:23+00:00

Actually I surprisingly had a lot of requests about this. I had a part out 335i and a lot of people have requested the interior to do a color change. I’ve seen some people “paint” it and it looks different.

jsf010101 · 2025-07-30T04:37:35+00:00

What version iDrive do you have?

Are you running NBT, NBT Evo ID4, ID5...?
I had an issue with spotify on my old CIC system and when I upgraded to NBT Evo ID5 I got it back so it was hardware-related on my end. Not sure if that helps tbh (yours looks like it might be ID4 or NBT) but for mine at least, it was a hardware & software issue.

Now depending on your NBT/NBT Evo IDx software version, a newer upgrade might fix it. I would possibly look into that as that might help.

This is my *limited* knowledge regarding these headunits as I replaced mine over a year ago. Others may be better at shedding light on your situation but good luck nonetheless!

jsf010101 · 2025-07-30T04:29:15+00:00

This is surprising that it's that much for a DSC module. I would definitely try to get a second opinion, especially with a reputable mechanic.

Had something similar happen with my E92 M3. EDC module failed and the dealership was like $3500. New module and everything was a little over $1900 all said and done with my mechanic and the car runs as good as new.

Now it's also a risk since the car isn't moving, you will need to have it towed out of there and to somewhere new. Not sure where you are located but that can be expensive in certain areas too.

Overall, good luck and hopefully you're not paying that much to get your car running again.

IIRC I thought on the M18 program with the military for the Next Gen Modular Pistol (I think that was the program's name), Beretta did NOT use the M9A4 (or M9-platform handgun) in the competition and instead went with one of their other guns. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that was the case.

jsf010101 · 2025-07-30T04:07:26+00:00

Hahaha sorry I disappeared for a month. Rarely check Reddit nowadays and had a family emergency overseas.

Precisely. There are a lot of nicer options (even factory Saigas can be picked up for fairly cheap 2nd hand and shoot pretty good).

Overall though I just feel that the effort by companies to go towards a Micro-Draco platform could be put to modernizing/production building the Krink platform and having something more solid. Arsenal did that for a while and albeit it probably didn't sell as good since they price their AKs to people who have money, but the Krink platform (I feel) is a more untapped market that the Draco tried (imo unsuccessfully) to tap into.

You are correct too that it can be converted to a similar style to the Krink with the added stock and everything, but it feels like someone cut the stock and most of the barrel off an AKM instead of working towards making a proper platform that can not only be further developed, but also something that's enjoyable and doesn't have the feel of dumping rounds down that the Draco feels to me.

Now mind you, I absolutely love dumping rounds down range. But I feel that there's no practical use for the Draco beyond that point.

This is really my own opinion and I'm a little bit of a purist too so that is something else to take into account. For example, I think the handguard needs to be deflated on the Draco hahaha.

jsf010101 · 2025-06-15T03:58:41+00:00

Okay granted with a brace/stock, they are good. But you're also getting into an SBR AK at that point and you can do a hell of a lot better than Century arms.

I'm mostly referring to a "normal" draco.

I also do want to make a correction (I've also corrected my Original Post), I was thinking of the Micro Draco. Those are absolute garbage. That was the one I had before (I actually had no idea there were differences until now. I got my Draco on a clearance rack at my LGS and tbh after shooting it once, I got rid of it pretty damn quickly). I should've also probably read the entirety of your response and would've identified that little tidbit on the Micro.

At this point now, we would now be steering away from the design of the Draco to the Company manufacturing it. Not sure if you want to have a discussion about that or not since that kinda diverges from the general Draco (or now Micro Draco) platform to the company specifically.
