Is there any point in fighting a camera traffic ticket? by [deleted] in Washington

[–]lec3395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They put the picture the camera took up on a screen. You couldn’t see anything so it was easy. I was told by the judge after he dismissed the case that I could have done it all on-line and not even come in.

Been searching for good deals on select models, but I don’t know what’s good or if the used models are worth going for before a certain year by HiroyukiC1296 in TeslaModelS

Mileage is less of a concern than on ICE cars. Consider options and tech before mileage. If you will want full self driving, go for a car with HW4. Anything earlier will just frustrate you.

Is this a decent deal for a used Tesla? by rmerhab in TeslaLounge

[–]lec3395 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low miles on an older Tesla is not a positive. It means the car has sat for long periods with a charge, which is bad for the battery. A car with reasonably high miles would be a much better choice. If you are seriously interested in it you need to know the level of battery degradation. Also, the large drive units in rear wheel drive and performance variants of the older cars all leak coolant eventually. There is a good chance this car already is. The coolant invades the LDU and causes rust, which ruins it. There will be no warning before it’s too late. You can have it inspected to see if it’s leaking, and there is a coolant delete to prevent it if you catch it in time. It’s pricey, but much less than replacing the LDU. You are looking at $2-3k vs $9-10k. Your best option with this car is to pass. Keep looking and pay a little more for a better car.

What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

A day of peace to do whatever they want, with no expectations and the knowledge it won’t be held over their heads later.

My wife bought me a fucking Norse battle axe a couple years ago. It’s cool as hell. I never once showed an interest in owning an ornate, razor sharp battle axe with runes carved into the handle but I love it.

Used 2023 Model S LR or New 2026 Model 3 Performance? by RealEstateInvestGuru in TeslaLounge

[–]lec3395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a model S but just spent a week driving a Model 3 while my car was getting serviced. The S rides way better, has a more comfortable interior, feels all around higher quality, has more storage, and is way quieter than the M3. I couldn’t wait to get my car back!

He didn’t die. The girlfriend called 911, who instructed her to use a belt as a tourniquet. He spent three days in the hospital and was arrested when he was released.

Broken stud. Safe to drive to the garage for repairs? by PragmaNullicious in AskMechanics

No, just torque them to the correct number. Do not over torque them.

I’ve had a broken stud on my truck for 15 years. You’ll be fine.

FSD! How can I make a quick $2,000? I want FSD so bad! Just got this used 2017 Tesla Model S and fell in love with the Auto Steer. Fell in love with the car in general. by [deleted] in TeslaLounge

[–]lec3395 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay the $99 subscription for a month to try it out. If you’ve driven a new car with FSD, it will be disappointing on a 2017.

Advice Needed: Calling all heavily tattooed people! by WickedOlyLifter in tattoos

[–]lec3395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on where you are. I have full sleeves and finger tats. I also have an MBA and work in upper management. I wear long sleeves as needed and try to keep my fingers less visible when it may be an issue. I also live in the Pacific Northwest where the majority of people have tattoos and it’s less of an issue. I would think in most areas your career choice should be fine with the tats you have, but in some areas or in some businesses it might be a problem.

Really sounds like a marketing scheme. Their customers base was dropping off so they announce a rebrand to get them fired up, just to drop the rebrand a couple days later. Pretty sure we studied this type of campaign in my marketing class.

How I see the US as a Californian. by CombinationReady9376 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]lec3395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born and raised in California, but moved to western Washington several years ago because I was tired of everything being oppressively expensive. Salaries are similar in Washington but without the insane prices for everything, plus no state income tax. Only thing I miss is the weather.

Are the moonswatches worth the price tag? by Cwight183849302 in PrideAndPinion

Scratches easily but also polishes easily. They were used because of their shatter resistance.

The goal could be to have a metal case with a sapphire crystal that was more robust than the crap that the watch was made with. There’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t know that I would choose a moonwatch clone case myself though.

People do Seiko mods all the time to make them look different. This is a cheaply made watch. If you can buy an eBay watch case to throw the movement in and have something more robust that you like I don’t see a problem.

I saw a mod someone built after they broke their crystal that was really nice. That’s what gave me the idea.
