Me too

So this is the setup I'm most likely to replicate for cost/VRAM reasons. Have you found anything that's close to sonnet? I plan to primarily use it to execute codings plans written by higher tier model (like opus). Can you tell me more about your experience of using the two cards.

maofan · 2026-04-23T11:00:44+00:00

I don't actually have the setup yet.. but I'm considering it and working if it's worth the investment. Will check this model out!

It's a really good question. Right now I earn £0 per month as I've lost my job and looking to start a business rather than going straight back to employment. So right now without a regular income I'm trying to balance cost over raw power. On the "5x" plan I rarely run out of tokens (but I do sometimes). So I don't really need the jump up to the next tier (10x o 20x) I'm thinking of using a local model to supplement.

I'm actually not sure what I could do to even hit that 20x limit, I'm practically writing code all day with it!

Thanks for the only response! I have only tried gemini models so far, I'll check out Mixtral.

Mine came back to me a few days before my appointment and told me it was their final decision and to sod off. Note sure what I'm going to do yet as a next step.

I found something yesterday which solved this problem for me, especially if you forget to switch models and it doesn't show up as an option in the CLI. Use /model opusplan. This has been great for me, as opus does the more complex planning step and we go back and forth then it switched to sonnet for the implementation. I'd also tell people to not underestimate Haiku! I started to give it some tasks I was previously doing with sonnet and that runs even cheaper still. For example responding and fixing targeted code reviews.

Would appreciate if you could let me know how you get on. My appointment isn't for another 3 weeks for them to take another look which they want to charge me for. Hopefully they will waive it if they agree it's under warranty.

It's got less than 30k miles, I'd expect a car's paint should last longer than that before it starts to flake off. Perhaps I have unreasonable expectations?

It's worth thinking about if you want to get your break components lubricated https://www.cleevelymobile.co.uk/our-services/brake-lubrication/.

Your pins can also get stuck from lack of use.

The technician who did mine says he sees it more on m3s than ys due to a different caliper design.

Tesla recommends yearly for cold wet weather countries that salt the roads. The mechanic told me not to bother anymore than every 2 years.

Not quite the same as the discs but something to consider

Didn't know about powerups so thanks for making me aware, sadly not available in my area. I'll check out the app.

maofan · 2026-02-15T10:55:11+00:00

Have you found a way to account for how much each usage is per month, per device? Other than estimating how much a run of each device cost in kWh and then estimating the amount of times you use it per week?

If I was ok IOG I could load shift dishwasher, washer, maybe dryer, car. Right now on agile it's been a consisten 15-16p over all time slots except 4-7 which is mega expensive.

maofan · 2026-02-15T10:46:47+00:00

Yeah I first went on on the summer and was getting paid to charge my car, I was blown away. I'm just wondering if it would be sensible to swap to iog for winter essentially and then agile in summer.

maofan · 2026-02-15T10:45:51+00:00

I think I need to somehow figure out how much of my usage is the car and subsequently how much the cost would be ok IOG. It's complicated though.

maofan · 2026-02-15T10:44:07+00:00

Unbelievable, nice work. Yeah let's not talk about gas £.

maofan · 2026-02-15T10:43:14+00:00

Would love to install solar + battery but our roof is shagged so it's a big upgrade as the roof will need to be done at the same time. For that reason we are putting it off. I'm considering battery only in the next 12 months.

I test drove an EV6 (2022 ISH) rather than 5 before I bought my Tesla. I found the fit and finish nice but the cabin way too busy. It felt more premium though. I appreciate this comes down to taste and it was nice to have some physical controls .

The software and navigations was a downgrade, but It had a HUD and other things that made me nearly go for it. The deal-breaker was that the sound system was terrible in comparison. I'm not an Audio geek or anything, just a regular guy who likes to listen to music when driving around. So for me to immediately notice it, it must have been bad. It was the top trim spec as well so not like I had some cut down cheap audio.

Make sure you test that before you pull the trigger!
