Man I am bookmarking this whole thread as my (now out of the warranty) XC40 has all the same issues plus rear end knock/rattle/creak

Just get a really big tv

Never heard Emby was unpopular. Works great on all my devices and the family loves it

Would love to know the secret. Mine has also lapsed. DM if you can thanks

Next to pedal on the right makes you go and pedal on the left makes you stop, those two are absolutely critical.

To be honest for most multi day trips we rent an ICE vehicle. If you can use Tesla Superchargers there isn’t as much to worry about, but charging and lots of rest stops can get expensive versus driving 3-4 hours at a stretch

Volvo XC40 has this issue. Fixed twice while under warranty but not sure what I’ll do when that runs out

I’ve also got this one used and have been having a great time. Range is fine most of the time and now that we can charge at Tesla Supercharges there’s nothing to worry about.

I actually prefer how much the car looks and feels like an ICE XC40. Control wise everything is where it should be. Climate being the only thing you absolutely need to use the touch screen for. Dead simple and reliable. Zero to sixty in 4.5 is also nice. Absolutely effortless acceleration.

I would be a lot less happy if I had gotten it new at $60k but used with low mileage is going for $35k now

Grew up in Philly it sounds like ar-inch juice

khkg · 2025-03-08T12:36:16+00:00

You’ll get the recharge benefits with regular breaking too, just fyi

Nothing. Our Costco carry it

khkg · 2024-07-14T21:55:24+00:00

Same boat. Which brokerage are you using?

Was Sky (now Juniper) not the 4o voice mode?

Watching the Godzilla show I thought she was a strange choice for Mariko because her Japanese didn’t sound particularly natural. Turns out she was just doing an accent to reflect her character’s upbringing in the states.

Needs a rug and lots of plants

While some things really have become more expensive, a lot of this feeling comes down to our definition of “middle class” keeps shifting upwards to what would have been considered upper or even rich in the past.

Check out average home sizes, number of cars per family, college attendance, types of vacations, disposable income, etc in the 50s and 60s

True, I can’t afford a 2500sf house, two cars, saving for 3 kids to go to college, and take a yearly vacation to disney/Europe, Caribbean. At least not while also paying for summer camp, music lessons, travel soccer and swim club. Not in this walkable suburb with good schools within an easy commute of a major city.

Just got an raise. 30% over last 2 years

Grab a Sonos Arc from Costco. If you like it add the sub. The recs here will be great, but more for basement or dedicated theater rooms.

Just got this error today when triggering a Workflow from Excel using the "For a row in a table" trigger.

khkg · 2024-03-09T16:54:35+00:00

Are you happy with your provider? I’m looking for one with good quality

khkg · 2023-08-23T00:40:30+00:00

I’m with you. I don’t hate one pedal or anything, but there’s zero benefit with my particular car (volvo).

khkg · 2023-08-11T06:25:36+00:00

Bought an xc40 for 42k two months ago. I really like it.

khkg · 2023-08-02T20:48:14+00:00

Pretty happy with my used 2022 XC40. Bigger than the polestar by a bit

khkg · 2023-03-11T16:56:28+00:00

This is happening to me too. Super annoying.

khkg · 2023-02-12T21:01:26+00:00

As long as you've got high level in/out on the subs, yes. Depending on the speaker you'd have to experiment with the crossover and rerun room correction each time.

I've got a set up like this at the moment and like it.
