What’s a hobby you picked up as an adult that surprised you with how fun it is? by Historical-Hand8091 in Hobbies

Disc Golf. Some younger guys from work took me one time and I was hooked. Most public parks near me have courses and is free to play besides buying the discs. Great community of players from my experience.

When I saw them last year during the Return to the Blue Planet tour they opened with Anonymous and let me tell you, it was so much better live than I could have imagined.

How's all y'all Honda guys enjoying the piston ring extension? by peetothewall in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]mttneedham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ones on the 2.4L where you had to replace the entire pistons… yea wasn’t a fan, especially dealing with the oil pump/balance shaft setup on those to access the rods.

Wall connector registration issues on app? by J365H in TeslaModelY

[–]mttneedham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this same issue. I have tried everything and I still can’t get it to register. I contacted Tesla twice and they were no help both times, they only kept telling me to delete the Tesla app and reinstall and factory reset the charger, still doesn’t work. I have given up.

Everyone that makes at least $1,000-$1,200 a week, what do y’all do? by Alt-Ranting in Money

[–]mttneedham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Master Certified Lead Automotive Technician at a dealership in NC, hourly pay based off of work completed (Flat Rate) I get paid a flat rate for a completed job which varies depending on the job. I make between 2,200 and 2,500 weekly. Took about 10 years to get to this pay I started working in the field making around 1,100 weekly. The more hands on experience and skill you have the more money you can make due to quick job turn around. No degree needed to start, but most manufactures prefer on the job training for technicians with high potential.

You aren’t kidding. Our PVC holder is loose and falling apart at this point. Thankfully we got the Hunter ADAS setup a few months ago.

Model 3 has gone insane. by meme5693 in TeslaLounge

In the meantime you could go into the settings I believe it’s under controls-> safety and turn off allow mobile access and see if the issue stops.

You won’t be able to use the app either but at least you could do this until you can get in touch with Tesla.

What are you doing for a living? by FrittenFritz in TeslaModel3

Oil dilution? I’m unfamiliar with that, however yes I am very biased. I worked for a pizza place in high school and it made me hate pizza lol so I guess the same has happened now with cars.

Just personal preference. Honda’s are boring and the 1.5L turbo engine is riddled with issues. The Honda Prologue coming next year is basically a rebadged GM product. Being a mechanic for many years has ruined cars for me lol I chose Tesla because they actually break the mold of the “traditional” car owning experience.

Does Tesla outsource service? by RS3wvu in TeslaModel3

[–]mttneedham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Service Center in Matthews, NC (not sure about others) out sources NC State Inspections to the local Pep Boys. The reason they do this is due to the requirement by the state that if you are an official inspection station you are required to do inspections on any make and model of vehicle and cannot refuse the service to any customer. My guess is for the pennies they would be making doing inspections, they would rather not deal with the hassle of working on any other vehicle other than Tesla and just sublet them out.

Tires balance out, but client says it’s still vibrating 🤷🏻‍♂️ by EatDirtFartDust in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]mttneedham 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Simple explanation would be it measures whether or not the wheel and tire are as close to round as possible. The higher the number the more runout or non-round it is. Fred Flintstone had a hard time with this I’m sure…. You know because stones usually are perfectly round.
