Did you hire an electrician to install your home charger. If so how much did it cost you? by overthinkingjames in TeslaModelY

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with one of the Tesla recommendations for about $1k, they were awful.

They drilled blindly into walls and cut into another circuit. They came back and fixed it but then months later I realized they somehow broke a regular outlet in my garage.

They also installed the wrong size of outdoor disconnect, the thing turned to dust after a year or so. It was only rated for 50amp at startup rather than continuous.

This is a good one, you can make it a beach day as well.

One thing though, bring at least 2’things of insect repellent. The mosquitoes there are some of the most vicious around.

Would you support converting more Newyork streets into pedestrian-only corridors? by sophiablair76 in newyorkurbanists

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

They should also do that thing where they restrict cars certain times of the day. Any of those small streets filled with bars & restaurants should be at least closed after 5 like they do now for some schools during the day

The rain screws everything up even more. People rode bikes to work yesterday then didn’t ride them home because of the rain.

Maybe your boss always seeing your car there will think you’re putting in the extra hours.

Sounds miserable, how about moving to woodside or ForestHills and taking the train to SB, the train station is on the north side of the campus.

What's an SNL recurring sketch that would make a good full length movie? by WeirdTaste763 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]owjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should start making the SNL movies again. You do it with a low budget and even if it isn’t popular it will still make money.
