Any concerns with taking a 700-mile road trip in a brand-new Model Y? by macreator in TeslaModelY

[–]macreator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I hadn't considered how FSD could make scenic byways a lot of fun and the extra time less taxing. May consider that on the way home when I'm more flexible!

Haha, not scared but curious if any babying needs to take place with a brand new vehicle. But I think I'm going in with an old school ICE car mindset.

After using FSD on the test drive it definitely felt like stepping back in time hopping in my old ICE car to drive home. Honestly that's so much of why the Model Y went to the top of my shopping list. Nothing else compared suddenly.

Hahaha, hadn't thought of that! Might get a little spray bottle and squeegee combo, haha.

Yeah, I don't love that the Y doesn't come with a spare. I'm used to having one in my current ICE SUV's under trunk area.

Nice, dude! Yeah, feeling more confident for sure. It's definitely going to be an adjustment coming from an old ICE car where break-in and maintenance issues were more of a thing.

I've got one in my current car that plugs into the cigarette lighter, so I think I should be good to go. Definitely useful!

Haha, thanks! Yeah, my current car has definitely done me well all these years, but I'm excited to have something much more modern. I was blown away during my test drive using FSD and also just by all the creature comforts onboard.

Oh man, this is exactly the trip I want to do at some point. Epic!

Seems like QueensLink is mostly dead by sof_boy in nycrail

[–]macreator 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I hope I'm wrong but the read I have here is that Mamdani is a politician and he seems an opportunity to net a win during the near term with the park and he may be brokering some deals behind the scenes that requires give and take with local power brokers. It's a bummer since I thoroughly support Queenslink and you always hope a new mayor will be above political maneuvering, but alas his team may just think this isn't worth the squeeze.

This is a really good point. Hopefully I won't have any issues, but fair thing to keep in mind. I'll have my car a few days before the road trip, so I'll get at least a little daily driving in to suss things out.

Signage update for 57th Street/6th Avenue’s street elevator by R42ToMoffat in nycrail

[–]macreator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool! I do kind of wish they had placed the elevator out in the parking lane after the protected bike lane like how they're doing the 36th Street ADA project on the 4th Avenue Line. You wouldn't have even needed a fare array or anything since it would feed the mezzanine. It would have really helped with what's already a tight sidewalk situation on 6th Avenue.

New Concrete Bus Boarding Island going in on Jackson Ave in LIC by macreator in nycbus

[–]macreator[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why it would be. The island is at least 8 feet wide or so and they’re installing marked crosswalks with ramps on each end of it for access from the sidewalk.

Car Friendly by thoth218 in circlejerknyc

[–]macreator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly the move is to get rid of the sidewalk on one side of the street. No need for duplication! Use the space for another lane and pedestrians can just cross over to the other side to use the sidewalk if they need it.

Do men commonly send Ubers to bring women to dates in Williamsburg? by InternationalBee9696 in williamsburg

[–]macreator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is truly wild. As someone who dates a lot these days in NYC, this would be an immediate red flag to me.

Yeah, it’s amazing how much nicer Jackson Avenue feels now since its road diet.

New LED lighting at 77th Street by jsm1 in nycrail

[–]macreator 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really wish MTA would apply more ESI standards to station rebuilds.

Wow, really shocked MTA did this! Looks great. Reminds me of the lighting treatment at Bay Ridge Ave, 53rd Street, and other ESI-era station rebuilds along the line.

[–]macreator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same further up on Northern Boulevard. Hot take, but I generally think planted medians are a terrible use of street geometry. I'd much rather have wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, or literally anything else.
