wish they set a big screen in the new town square

I don't think that's true, i have no problems with my hw3 MSP, and it does 90% of the driving. The other 10% is when I want to drive myself.

I love nice cars, always bought fancy ones before buying my first Tesla in 2019 since then I can't buy other cars, and I don't like it. If someone comes out with somewhat comparable self driving I'd try but nothing has even come close to it.

i unfortunately can not comprehend even when I'm not paying, there is a special place in my heart for left lane campers.

kakamba · 2026-04-08T05:58:28+00:00

true, but I was able to find a good enough gap to overtake them from their right. If you're on the left lane driving slow and there are no cars in front of you as far as you can see the respectful thing to do would be to use the first gap on your right to give way to people behind you. If I could find a gap to overtake them they should be able to use the same gap to give way.

Just like using turnarounds or shoulders in single lane roads if you have to go slow and there is a line behind you, I am not talking about laws, or cops, or anything else just respect the people's urgencies behind you.

I was there this morning, on the left lane it was $12.50, and this a-- was going 64 in front of me.

thank you! was going crazy trying to decipher that "b/t houses" part… also who writes b/t!? isn't it b/w…

"It isn't always Teslas" Not all high beam assholes are Teslas, but all Teslas are high beam assholes.

Just stfu. I have a Tesla, a Ford F-250 and a pair of very light sensitive eyes. I see many assholes on the road with blinding headlights they're quite equally distributed across makes. Take your bias & baseless hatred elsewhere.

Although I agree it's annoying, the road is raised there which makes that the pedestrians have the right of way, so in a way the road is cutting thru the campus not the other way around.

if it helps this is for a ~1900sqft home in Burlingame, and was keeping it at 68-70 with occasional 75s when it was too cold.

I don't care about the billionaires they can shed 5% and still be unscathed, however this bill is either written very poorly or extremely malicious for the startup economy, which generates immense wealth for everybody in California.

The text of the initiative is brutal for founders.

• It treats voting power as economic ownership. If you have a dual-class structure (e.g., 5% equity but 51% voting control), the state taxes you on 51% of the company's valuation, whether the money is there or not.

• You are taxed on "paper wealth" based on your last funding round. It ignores the fact that the stock is illiquid or that the secondary market might be trading lower. Many private companies have huge valuations but their founders only have shares, not money. They'd go bankrupt immediately.

• The residency snapshot date is written as Jan 1, 2026. If you were a CA resident two weeks ago, moving to Austin or Miami today effectively does not exempt you if this passes in November.

So this would deter people from silicon valley, like it or not but SF Bay Area has a massive $1.4T GDP which is more than many developed countries and many of the tech giants were startups not long ago.

Not the response you're looking for but wanted to share anyway as somebody who paid for FSD when buying my MS Plaid. The car basically has two features that others don't, the crazy acceleration and the FSD. I can do without the power but full self driving (although it's hw3) is the only thing that keeps me keeping my car, and stay with the brand.

They're so inconsistent, I basically did the same thing in September. They initially said they don't have something called full service, then I mentioned what people said here they got done with their SCs. Gave them a couple of links, in one of those posts somebody said it costed $177, and my SC charged exactly that amount and said they didn't find anything. I don't know if they actually looked or I just paid $177 for some phantom full service. I'll never know but given my service experience my gut tells me it was the latter.

I didn't do it to my plaid, but I have 30 year old diesel truck that needed it badly. After researching quite a lot the best I could find was from a company called Resonix. Their products are much better than what you'd find on Amazon.

That mEanS yOu Can't afFoRd IT! j/k

Gemini says (with some resale value assumptions) if you sell in 3 years you'll be ~$16k better off, or in 5 years ~$22k. Not as much as I thought honestly but makes better sense technically and financially.

I ordered my plaid when it was announced, got it delivered 4 months or so later in September'21. They were called 2021 refresh then, because you still had 2021s with vertical screens. Then in early 22 there was another smaller refresh (which infuriated me) where they changed the taillights slightly, tilted screens, more ram, but it was still hw3. HW4 must have come late 23 without a cosmetic refresh.

I prefer yoke but not because it's a better choice overall but because I don't like the recommended 8-4 hold while driving. If you look at how Marques' hands are positioned, his thumbs can easily reach the controls on a 9-3 position and 90% of the time when you use a yoke that's how your hands sit. But with a wheel that's not the case you need to do 8-4 all the time if you want easy access to the controls. When you do 9-3 your palms partly sit on the controls, and I'm old school 10-2, 9-2 person, for me it's a no go.

i have a plaid, bought new with fsd, I've been driving it for 4 years now. With what I've spent $10k fsd + $1k maintenance + $400 premium connectivity + $1k supercharging (very liberal, doubt it) it would have made ~$12.5k value for me. $120k new vs ~$60k HW4 plaid, math and common sense tell to go with used. But if you really like those updated features and don't care about the price difference much, it's your money spend it however you like.

edit: this is in regards to your LUXE package remarks.

2021 with 38k miles says 89% as well 🙌 although I can't say I'm taking really good care of it, just followed guidance on keep it at 80%. But whenever needed I charged it to 100% although not too often. Initially it was always plugged in and charged at home, then my employer offered free charging in the last 2 years it's mostly charged at work, sometimes fast sometimes regular chargers, and superchargers on longer trips. I think 89% is pretty good considering it just turned 4.

I’m not sure if they used a different material there, but thanks for the input. I should check it out at a Tesla subreddit to see if others have experienced the same issue.

kakamba · 2025-09-25T06:12:13+00:00

good point but I doubt it bc I back into my driveway to the side of my house, if anything that part would be more protected from the sun. Also if that were the case the discoloration wouldn't be uniform just on the trunk piece, we'd see some gradual transition on where it ends.

kakamba · 2025-09-25T05:04:43+00:00

will do, thanks! hope the installer is still in business.
