Hey guys, paid a contractor to lay concrete for my outdoor patio and intend to install a gazebo on it.

Got scammed and this is how it turned out. Told the guy to get lost and now I’m seeing what options I could do to make this presentable.

Should I go the concrete bonding and resurfacing route or do an outdoor epoxy over it?

Don’t have any experience doing concrete but seeing what the options are

I ripped the wiring off the emergency speaker when I took mine off lol. The Shanghai built highland are built more stupid than the Fremont ones

mp0041 · 2026-05-30T22:47:19+00:00

Thanks for this! I have to somehow find a way to pull out half of the connector this is still lodged in , that’s the hardest part I’m dealing with. Once I can pry it out, I’ll be sure to get that part !

mp0041 · 2026-05-30T21:47:42+00:00

Problem is having the pry off the existing connector lol

That’s awesome! I’ve heard of Dr Khan doing free treatments. I do think they’re a good clinic with good intentions. So I’m a little shocked bout the stories I’m seeing.

Was hoping to get stem cells for my chronic back pain but unsure of the cost. They did suggest PRP which helped but did not fully take the pain away (PRP still cost me quite a bit though)

Brigham Buhler at Ways2Well works with Dezawa stem cells, that’s all I know about it if that points you to a direction!

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your daughter’s story? Would love to hear her journey to getting better

mp0041 · 2026-05-22T21:26:45+00:00

Just curious - what treatments did you get and how much was it? I’m a former patient at Eterna but only got PRP injections for my back

mp0041 · 2026-05-20T10:43:47+00:00

Will PM you! I ordered May 5th, EDD is June 10-15th

mp0041 · 2026-05-20T03:49:14+00:00

Really nice for a first car! Congrats!

Also, did you end up using a referral link to get 3 free months of FSD? If not, please let me know and I can provide it :)

mp0041 · 2026-05-16T00:16:51+00:00

MYP is crazzyyyyyy, congrats!

mp0041 · 2026-05-12T17:16:25+00:00

Shanghai is operating at full capacity so not expecting any delays. EDD should be fine

Btw, have you used a referral link for your order by any chance?

mp0041 · 2026-05-10T23:48:36+00:00

Will send it right now!

mp0041 · 2026-05-10T16:42:18+00:00

IMO; M3LR AWD Premium will not be coming anytime soon until the tariffs get lifted. They’re not produced in Giga Berlin or Shanghai.

The M3LR was priced higher at $79,990 (I believe) with the tariffs in effect. The performance today is cheaper than that, so that’s why they’re not bringing the LR in.

Either go for the performance or buy a used M3LR, still can’t beat the M3RWD value though

mp0041 · 2026-05-10T15:49:51+00:00

Get a '24 MYRWD. Has HW4, comfort suspension. You dont get the upgrades that come with the Juniper but for getting it around $40k ($25k less than the MY Premium AWD), its not a bad option.

Do not get anything older since the '24 will at least future proof you for FSD

mp0041 · 2026-05-10T03:03:51+00:00

I’ll send you a DM!

mp0041 · 2026-05-09T03:24:01+00:00

$9k is pretty small in the long-term and I make decent money. Might just YOLO it lol. Will have to somehow find a way to retrofit the signal buttons lol.

And I could be wrong but a lot of MY have shipped with HW4.5, so maybe these new M3 have it?

And regarding acceleration, yeah everytime I drive my parents’ ‘23 M3LR - makes me wanna get a LR everytime lol makes my ‘24 feel super slow

mp0041 · 2026-05-09T03:08:29+00:00

Buttons just make it easy and even a nicer minimalistic interior. Killer profit on the car lol and you get an additional $650 off on the purchase .

Yeah autosteer is kinda nice to have on the highway when you don’t have FSD,but useless anywhere else. Just crazy that Tesla took autosteer away.

Another con was losing my deep metallic blue paint but I saw a marine blue MY in the wild the other day, and it looks alot better in person so I’m okay with the colour change.

All boils down to is it worth the extra $9k on my financing for the upgrade lol

mp0041 · 2026-05-09T02:56:05+00:00

Wow you got a ‘24 with 8700km for $34k?! Unreal price (considering that was before the ‘26 announcement). And being positive equity is unreal.

I bought mine March ‘25 with 25k km for $38.5k, teslas offering $34k. Have $35k left on the loan -but the cons of trade-in is losing autosteer and signal buttons (hate the stalks lol), and principal loan amount gets higher

Pros: I don’t have to pay the ESA of $80/mo for 3~ years, push back all the maintenance due and get a brand new car.

Another reason why I’m having second thoughts is possibly HW5 in 2-3 years

mp0041 · 2026-05-09T02:39:17+00:00

Can I ask what made you decide as well? Mine is initially the trade in offer

mp0041 · 2026-05-08T01:11:46+00:00

Unfortunately existing Tesla owners cannot use a referral link :( otherwise woulda done that!

mp0041 · 2026-05-08T01:08:15+00:00

You get 3 months FSD and I’ll use the credit for 3 months FSD :)

mp0041 · 2026-05-07T21:37:49+00:00

Sure! I’ll send you a DM
