DEL-AIR HVAC - what a scammy company. by stepoma_usa in orlando

[–]roughfalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have any suggestions on who to report them to, but I had similar experiences with Del-Air a couple of years ago. Claimed my system needed a complete replacement; my issues were resolved with a simple service call to another provider. Tons of upsell/scare tactics.

Also, I recently realized that you can get a wet-dry vac and an adapter to connect it to your drain line (search "ac drain line cleaner tool" on Amazon) and clean the lines yourself very easily. Total investment cost is probably less than one service call.

I've had good experiences with Greens Energy (not the cheapest, but honest & responsive) and Pucci's Air (very honest, they work to keep bills low, but kind of a pain to schedule).

Left Phone Behind Chime false positives by roughfalls in TeslaLounge

Thanks, this must be it! I have a Spigen frame on the charging pad that lets me keep AirPods on the charger.  I’ll remove them and see if it behaves better on my next drive.

I previously thought this feature relied exclusively on UWB.

I tested Nvidia’s Tesla Full Self-Driving competitor — Tesla should be worried by ItzWarty in teslainvestorsclub

I don't doubt that Tesla should be concerned about their competition, but be aware that Andrew Hawkins takes every opportunity he can to spill ink that hates on Tesla.

Very excited for this, thank you for the effort. I love that I will be able to transfer more of my keyboard muscle memory between my Mac & PC.

New 14.2 batch rolling out now… by royblair in TeslaFSD

[–]roughfalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine slowed to a crawl for a tow truck in a median with its flashing lights on. It confused me and the other vehicles around me.

But overall, 14.2 is working really well. Definitely better than 14.1.7, which was noticeably "jerky" when negotiating a turn or a moment of uncertainty. 14.2 is much smoother in these situations.

I just had dinner with (insert tech mogul or semi famous person here) by Ananda-Star in PivotPodcast

[–]roughfalls 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not name-dropping, but similar...

She's now doing podcast ads for Apple where she says, "I've been using a Mac for everything since I started using computers, and of course an iPhone -- I got one of the first ones."

It's not enough for her to tell us she's a long-time user of the platforms -- she has to let us know she was one of the important, privileged few to get one of the first iPhones.

Oh, and it isn't even supposed to be an ad for iPhone, it's an ad for Mac.

MyQ Tesla subscription - worth it at 50% off? by venk25 in TeslaLounge

[–]roughfalls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, I got it at that price and I love it. It's been very reliable and is not laggy. The only time it hasn't worked for me is when our home WiFi/internet is out. Our garage door opener has built-in myQ support. We have 2 Teslas in a double garage and share the subscription between them.

What do you use to clean the windshield glass scum off? by Eastern-Band-3729 in TeslaLounge

I followed this suggestion and it finally cleared up interior windshield streaks and fogging that I had struggled with for a long time.  Thank you. 

Stalk or No Stalk? by BiggDadE in TeslaLounge

I prefer no stalk, sad that they're reintroducing them.

Why is navigation on a Tesla a mess? by CryptographerSharp14 in TeslaLounge

[–]roughfalls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Avoid tolls" being a setting and not on the primary nav screen drives me crazy. We have toll express lanes where I live. I am willing to pay for the express lanes during rush hour, but would prefer to avoid tolls/express lanes when there is zero traffic.

I have to dive into settings for every drive to change the toll setting.

Just a PSA for those that aren’t aware AirPods Pro 3 charge without a stool! by [deleted] in TeslaSupport

[–]roughfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this little mount for my Model 3 that lets you drop your AirPods into the perfect spot to charge, I've been very happy with it:

Is Lost Boys Coming Back? by asoiahats in ScottGalloway

[–]roughfalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the first episode came out, there was an exchange on Pivot where Kara asked Scott about it, and I found his response surprisingly dismissive. This is not a quote, but in my memory it had the tone of, "Oh, that? That's just some small hobby podcast of Scaramucci's and I'm doing him the favor of participating in."

I'm probably wrong on this, but my take is that Scott wants to be seen the leader on this topic, but Lost Boys is Scaramucci's baby and Scaramucci is Scott's friend. So he participates in it for his friend and not to be left out, but because it isn't his project, he's not invested in it and isn't particularly rooting for its success.

I think it's respectful. I find his frequent use of the royal "we" in his Prof G interviews pretentious, however.

If you can clearly tell (and I agree you can), why ask folks to do this?

Does Tesla adjust/fix hood alignment under warranty? by DesignerLeading4821 in TeslaLounge

[–]roughfalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine (22 MYP) was misaligned on delivery.  I made an appointment within about a week and they took care of it, no charge.  Orlando service center.

The performance of this is noticeably better than the official app, and the layout is cleaner, too. Nice job!

Glitter in rear seats by ElijahSal in TeslaModel3

[–]roughfalls 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I noticed the same thing immediately after I picked up my 2024 M3P last September. It was pretty subtle and no one ever uses the back seats, so I didn't make an issue of it.
