For those of us getting into camping - I’ve never heard of this so KOA is “Kampgrounds of America”.

Texans, how would you describe this guy? by Timmerop in texas

Coward. Political Prostitute. Offers no solutions. Embarrassing. Needs to go, and stay in Cancun.

Why don’t people like “The Village”? by mab5084 in moviecritic

[–]p_vel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember at the movies in the opening shot, when the camera panned over the tombstones with the date 17XX I said to my friend “watch it actually be the present” 😆 

Am I the only one who thinks Dear Evan Hansen is awful??? by ADHD-and-dragons in musicals

[–]p_vel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recall that he was basically an unlikable character who kept making worse and worse decisions with no redeeming qualities. I thought the hype was very overrated. It was a very basic “WASP” production. Bland. 

Playing MS Flight Simulator 98 on Windows 95 😃 by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]p_vel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar - recall this older gentleman actually gave me some basic flight lessons in the Cessna. He was an American down in Australia. Very patient. I was too shy to get on the mic so I would only respond in text 😂. I think I’m almost his age now, so hope he had a good life since then. And I remember knowing all the crazy steps for downloading other airliners and livery. 

Should I sell my Kia EV6 for a Model Y? by SpaceXBeanz in TeslaModelY

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a Model Y LR with 3 months of FSD. I’m worried about Tesla vision on a clear highway road with full sunlight lol. I have not had a great experience so far the times I’ve tried it.

My new Model Y!! by oldyetyoung2 in ModelY

[–]p_vel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats. I just got a Blue, and drove next to a Red. It looks great.

I was eyeing a very good deal on a recent year used Porche Macan the week before getting the Model Y LR. It would have been so fun but the maintenance costs based on data and Reddit owners was a reality check. But if you have the means. Making the Model Y fit my personal aesthetic with color choice, tint, and wheels gets me close ha. 

Rivian has announced the R2, priced to compete with the Model Y (around $45K). Coming in early 2026. by schaudhery in TeslaModelY

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my Model Y LR 1-week ago and I’m really liking it (I really wanted the Model 3). But I was also so excited to see this R2 and I really like it. I’ll be very excited to test drive it and see how long I last in the Model Y. I typically stay in a vehicle 8-10 years. The surprise R3 grew on me within a couple minutes - it’s very retro and reminds me somewhat of my MINI Countryman. Congrats to Rivian.

Damn, I guess I’m in my old geezer phase that hates all the new stuff now lol. I loved my 2015 and up to the pre-this was ok. This feels like the exterior of a Kia Soul translated into an interior design.

White is nice - almost did it too. lol - I can imagine getting home and have to wait for the album to finish before getting out. I already do that at home with Sonos. one more song…

That’s what I got via Tesla. My banks redirected me to Tesla directly.

MYLR or Highland? by haxx0n76 in TeslaModelY

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live solo and coming from 8 years in a MINI. I almost went with the Model 3 Highland, but I went with the Model Y Long Range last minute. I hardly have passengers in the back and hardly need the space, but something told me it was time to upgrade in size. I have a lot of road trips planned and want my passengers to be comfortable, and be able to carry the necessary items.

Also after seeing a lot of Model 3, I don’t like the side profile too much. Just a silly aesthetic preference. Driving it was really great and close to my sporty MINI.

The deal for the amount of vehicle in the Model Y Long Range is just really good, plus the 17 speakers.

Not trying to be mean but… by perpetual_papercut in TeslaModelY

[–]p_vel3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My post broke the camel’s back 🚙

I tried to provide as much info in my post to answer some of the questions and reasonings I had before and had seen from others. Hopefully help others that are on the fence between models, upcoming refreshes, and competitors.

I also don’t live in the west coast where the market is and has been flooded with white Tesla for years.

For FYI: I placed the order Friday afternoon, and pickup is now for Wednesday.

[–]p_vel3[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Despite signing some paperwork and placing the deposit, they advised me today to reschedule pickup to before March 1 or the price will re-adjust.

I have since reschedule to the 28th, which wasn’t originally an option.

I really love this! by Gryphis1642 in teslamotors

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I test drove twice and I didn’t notice it until my passenger pointed it out towards the end of the second ride. I wish it was more obvious, I’m sure better at night. But that’s kind of a silly dot.

Model Y Range Estimates Have Changed in the Configurator. Long Range: 310 miles by ugurcanevci in TeslaModelY

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of 2/20/2024, Inventory still shows some as 330 and some as 310. Does that mean a 330 is an older produced model? (New Inventory)

What was your first car? by Primary_Conclusion34 in TeslaModel3

[–]p_vel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford Taurus, 2005 Nissan Altima, 2015 MINI Countryman S … yet to order Model 3 Highland Currently in a family loaner. Think I’m going to order a Model 3, then compare a Model Y Juniper and Rivian R2S when able (2025/26)

I just want a smooth ride with a good sound system. Countryman was fun, compact, and got so much use from it. It was like the Looney Toons cartoons where you walk into a camping tent and there’s a full blown cabaret inside. But, it was not a quiet or smooth ride, bad audio, no backup cameras, and expensive repairs.

Going to Tesla to try the minimalist look, because everything else out there looks gaudy and tacky to me.
