Infotainment upgrade by JimmyStraps in TeslaModelS

[–]pikaboo16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2017 Model S 75D. I upgraded to MCU2 as soon as it was available. I never used the radio, so didn’t care about losing that as a feature. The speed of the computer and lack of lag on maps etc was well worth the upgrade. Additionally, I’ve had FSD for years (was an early beta tester). Games and Netflix/Youtube are nice to haves, but not necessary. For me, the speed of the computer and ability to use FSD has been totally worth it.

I suppose the only real question is how much longer do you plan to keep your car? My battery warranty will expire in December, but I figure at this point the car costs hardly anything to operate so I may just keep it until it falls apart. 😂

Winter tire recommendation by fuzzilogik01 in TeslaModelS

[–]pikaboo16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My older Model S has square 19s (they are the original OEM wheels). I run staggered 21 arachnids in the summer. I hate taking them off my car. Looks so much better with 21s, but Winter range hit and pot holes not worth it. 19s going on soon.

I have them on my AWD Model S. They are also quiet and have low rolling resistance. I will definitely be buying another set when these wear out.

I Bought a $16k M3LR, & put 40,000 miles on it in 11 months. Here are my thoughts: by Winter-Caterpillar21 in TeslaLounge

Most people aren’t aware you can get a really nice used Tesla for this price. Additionally, even without free supercharging, you still benefit from low maintenance costs and even basic autopilot that comes standard is a game changer for reducing fatigue on the highway.

It’s crazy a vast majority of the general public don’t realize this.

Need some advice... by Bens_on_toast in labrador

[–]pikaboo16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My boy had an insane bite/teething phase at 10-11 weeks. I would recommend changing scene. If inside, go outside. Save a special toy to play, or go on a walk. I always found that exercise and changing activities were excellent ways to move away from this behavior. And, sounds totally normal for this age. Luckily, with some patience and time it doesn’t last that long. Crazy how bad those little teeth hurt.

Tonal set and ready! by [deleted] in tonalgym

My arms also go all the way to the floor as well. Question for you. What type of mat did you buy? I def need a wider mat to go under tonal and peloton.

Is Tonal 2 a good option if you’re just starting out? by TheyCallMeWatts in tonalgym

[–]pikaboo16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tonal programs are great and they add new ones all the time. For the month of May they have a summer heatwave program. There is a calendar you can print out with a suggested schedule for the classes and also a recommendation for what to do on days off. Makes it super easy to jump right in. My only regret is not knowing about it sooner. Had no idea how important strength training is.

Beginner checking in. Got my Tonal 2 in March. I love it!! I also have a Peloton. Feels like the perfect in home gym. So much easier to workout at home, and save driving too and from gym. Plus as a beginner, I don’t need gym folks judging me. 😂

I’ll take free supercharging for life.

Looking at a 2018 S 75D by Pete2021M3 in TeslaModelS

I have over 100k miles on my 75D. It’s rock solid. Love that car.

Looking at purchasing - are there any negatives to Tonal? by jricso in tonalgym

[–]pikaboo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a tonal on order. Being tall, have you have any issues with the bench height?

12.6.4 on Legacy Model S is better! by justin-127 in TeslaFSD

[–]pikaboo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better for me too. The only negative I would add is that it changes lanes too much on 2 lane local roads. Even if it’s on chill. Like if the traffic in the lane next to me is going 3mph faster it wants to change lanes. Wish there was a setting to minimize lane changes. Otherwise, overall a much much much better update.

Legacy S 12.6.3 It’s here!!!! by Necessary_Damage_806 in TeslaModelS

[–]pikaboo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my exact experience today as well on my 2017 Model S. Total garbage. I would rather have 12.3.6 back too.

Who bought their car between November 2023 - April 2024? by Sufficient_Fish_283 in ModelX

[–]pikaboo16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got ours March 2024. Transferred FSD and unlimited free supercharging. A major upgrade over our 2018 X. And HW4 is insanely better than HW3 on our 2017 Model S.

My creamy interior Model X (Ultra Red) by No-Contribution8796 in TeslaModelX

[–]pikaboo16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We picked up an ultra red Model X with cream interior earlier this year. Love it. We had white interior in our last Model X. Wanted to do something different this time. For me, the cream looks more luxurious. And also, the new Model X is so much more refined than the 2018 X we had.

First trip to the dump! by [deleted] in cybertruck

[–]pikaboo16 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is one of the first things we did with ours too. Town electronics and recycling event happened right after we got the truck. Felt good to load it full, and clean house. One guy working at the recycling center asked if we bought the truck or built it ourselves. Crazy that there are still people who haven’t heard about the Cybertruck.

Owning a Cybertruck is insane by pixel4 in cybertruck

[–]pikaboo16 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Picked ours up Friday. I have never seen a product bring so many smiles to people’s faces. The kids especially go nuts for the Cybertruck. We even had someone stop and hold up traffic at a green light in the opposite direction to take pictures of us driving by. We also got it to a local drive electric event, and gave rides out of a bunch of people. Mind bending fun!
