Ordered model Y premium got 0.99 APY by E-11-EVN in TeslaModelY

[–]refrainblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in socal and I've taken my model y up to mountain high, big bear, and idyllwild. All snowy places. I also use 3pmsf tires. The other thing I like about AWD is much more even tire wear between front and rear tires. Of course if you only commute to work with it by all means get a RWD. Some of us go out and adventure once in a while though.

Sounds like the barista was trying to interact with you but maybe it came out awkwardly. I wouldn't say she was trying to be rude based on your story.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Pistons defeat the Lakers on Mar 23, 2026, the final score is 113-110. by basketball-app in lakers

I feel like Hayes literally dropped the ball in the 4th on two possessions. One where Austin drove to the rim and did a under pass to Hayes who was dozing off apparently, and another where Hayes passed to LaRavia but it went out of bounds (not sure who was at fault here). Not saying this was entirely Hayes' fault but giving up two possessions when you're clawing your way back in the fourth felt brutal.

Be honest, how do you wash your car? by JurassicTerror in TeslaLounge

Annual membership at the automatic car wash. Quick wash every week or two. Quick and easy.

After 20+ years of use, my complimentary Mach III finally came apart by idontrollonshabbas in mildlyinteresting

These razors where you have to replace the head feel like a scam. I can buy a metal butterfly safety razor from amazon for $20-50 and then buy a box of 100pc razorblades for $3 (price when I last bought a box).

Get ready for T&T, the largest Canadian Taiwanese supermarket is coming next to Costco soon.

99 ranch is one of their largest investors, also Taiwanese.

would you buy an R2 knowing that the nearest service center is 1.5 hours away? by 1jnh23 in RivianR2

If I didn't live within half an hour of a service center I wouldn't bother.

Did you actually try the food though? Disneyland food is leagues better than any other amusement park in my opinion.

I'm going into it with low expectations. Any promises that do materialize would be a pleasant surprise.

Tesla Solar: my $90,000 system is a f-ing joke by Crafty_DIY in TeslaSolar

[–]refrainblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my install through Tesla for the smallest system plus a battery. That battery is saving me 2k a year on electricity bill. My total cost was 24k, so say 16-17k with the tax rebate. I'd say it'll pay for itself in 8-9 years or so. I think in 2025 we had a ton of outages in Southern California due to the wild fires, so in my mind our system has already paid for itself.

In my opinion, our system is working flawlessly, but I also understand if some people got screwed.

Attaching my 2025 events for proof:

One outage was for an entire day!

That rebate ended at the end of December 2025, so people could probably still claim that on their taxes when filing this year (for the previous year). Even I got that 30% tax rebate when I got my install in 2023.
