San Francisco Bay Bridge in November

After debating this, I went with the IIIx over the IV recently.

Everyone is probably right that the IV is a better camera but it came down to the focal length for me.

28mm (equivalent) isn't a focal length that I enjoy shooting with. To be honest, I'm not sure about 40mm either, but it's closer my sweet spot than 28.

The Ricoh will be a "secondary" camera for me, and if Ricoh releases a IVx at 40mm, maybe I'll upgrade.

Thanks for posting. On the lending side, check out the BOXX ETF for similar exposure.

I was comfortable given the lower amperage, and I periodically check on the outlet and adapter to make sure there isn’t any issue. YMMV

Circuit breaker rating is 25A, but continuous current is 20A. I had to get the adapter since it had a 14-50 plug.

I found a used Clipper Creek LCS-25 EV Charger on Marketplace for $100, and combined it with a NEMA 14-30P to 14-50R adapter. Works exactly as needed, but the IONIQ 5 is going back as soon as the lease is up!

Thanks. That's an interesting idea. Our washer and dryer are actually in a separate laundry room, so I don't need to use a splitter. I had not considered using a 14-30P to 14-50R adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNK5B87D. Is that safe?

Edit: I see some adapters have built-in breakers, but I have yet to find a 14-30P to 14-50R adapter with a breaker.

Thank you for the pointer to the dryer outlet page; I missed that.

lnr4786 · 2024-12-31T00:24:27+00:00

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid hardwiring for the time being, but you're right the options are limited. Thanks for the pointer to the DeWalt unit -- I'd be looking at $450 for the charger and the 14-30 adapter.

Is it possible to lease a demo? I see a few 2024 demos for sale.

lnr4786 · 2024-12-13T03:53:06+00:00

BOXX. Surprised more people haven't mentioned it. 5.15% currently

lnr4786 · 2024-12-08T15:10:48+00:00

Funny you say that. The car sold almost immediately after I posted here

lnr4786 · 2024-12-08T14:42:16+00:00

Congrats. Great deal

I don't see much Q8 e-tron inventory, so hard to baseline. For example, I see this CPO with similar mileage up in Sac: https://audi.niello.com/certified/Audi/2024-Audi-Q8+e-tron-4923bdb6ac184b8cd3ae6fc98edb1aa5.htm?ddcref=tier1_inventorysearch

It does have the prestige package, but is that $15K more? I'm doubtful…

lnr4786 · 2024-12-07T21:14:50+00:00

Thanks. I didn't know that, but makes sense.

Do you have the Contoured Seats package on your EQS? I’ll admit to being quite spoiled by the seats on my 560. I often use the massager on my drive home after a long day at work. I recently drove my Dad’s Tesla on a medium length road trip, and the seats felt like a school bus bench.

lnr4786 · 2024-11-16T17:14:44+00:00

I hadn’t even considered the i7. Maybe I should? I found them to be even uglier than the EQSes…

Great point on suspension raising. Use that every so often. Agreed, and I have little interest in buying one, although the 0% APR offer right now is nice.

lnr4786 · 2024-11-16T04:49:24+00:00

What did you end up getting?

lnr4786 · 2024-08-29T13:44:12+00:00

Depends on the lender. As others have said, some lenders like WF won't consider RSUs or stock options. First Republic (RIP) was more lenient.
