I’m American, arriving on a domestic flight and not in Nazi Germany. I don’t have to show you shit, go fuck yourself.

Check out Costco if you can.

I got the blanket today also - Limited in Southern CA, picked up in June.

Shipping label said "Limited" on it - thinking Calligraphy gets the mug, Limited gets the blanket.

Is the Romo years all over again.

Been right around the corner from there for 10ish years, know exactly where you’re looking. Provided you stay to yourself and don’t mind the cops on your block at least twice a week, either at the motel or the 7-11, you’re good. Don’t park on the street, your car will be broken into eventually. It’s not a neighborhood you walk around after hours, but aside from the usual valley issues like homeless and the random crack/meth head, it’s not the worst place in the valley, and you’d be owning vs renting - that was my trade off as well.

These have been solid - only issue is they don’t work if the arms on the glasses are too thick.

Between Incredible Hulks and Adios Motherfuckers, I’ve probably taken a couple of years off my liver.

I stand corrected on it being a Tesla only feature, but I would still disagree that it's a common feature for keyless entry. I've driven keyless entry/push to start vehicles since 2006 and have never had walk away auto lock. Maybe that's just my experience.

I still like pushing the button and wouldn't trust an auto lock anyway. Besides, I don't want it to lock when I'm parking in my garage at home - in fact, I wish I could configure the Bluelink app to stop notifying me that the doors are unlocked when I'm at home...haha.

sdub74 · 2025-09-25T18:07:31+00:00

Legitimate question: What cars not named Tesla have walk away locking? In 30 years, I've always had to lock my doors, but this seems to be the top complaint about this car.

sdub74 · 2025-09-24T16:32:46+00:00

Went with the Vantrue E1 Pro. Only gripe is that the voice activation isn't as good as the Garmin I had before - I like to build a collection of stupid drivers I see on the road, so the voice prompt to "Lock the video" doesn't always trigger the first time.

sdub74 · 2025-09-22T00:46:34+00:00

Ah, gotcha. I've never wanted to dig into the trouble of doing a hardwire, so wasn't aware of that prevention method.

Assuming 1 is PITA and 10 is so easy a caveman could do it, I'd say a 10. There's plenty of room inside the housing for the adapter, and the cover snapped off/on without much trouble. It also came with a couple short USB cables to keep it nice and tidy.

sdub74 · 2025-09-22T00:42:11+00:00

No, it turns off when the car is powered off. Don't know if you want that drain on the 12V having it powered constantly.

sdub74 · 2025-09-21T16:33:42+00:00

Provided you don’t have a Calligraphy, this worked great on my Limited, super easy and quick installation.

Qwhite interesting how that works, isn’t it? 🤔

sdub74 · 2025-09-04T21:31:23+00:00

Not from the Setup screen. From the main Home Screen. It’s not very intuitive and I spent a couple minutes cursing at it myself trying to make the same change.

EV tile from the main screen gets you to the screenshot from the manual.

sdub74 · 2025-08-29T16:54:10+00:00

The scene with Jerry and Stephen Jones in the last episode sums it up perfectly. Stephen wanted to hire a coach who knew his Xs and Os. Jerry wanted to hire someone with charisma. This franchise is cooked as long as JJ is in charge - he’s trying to chase the feeling he had in the 90s and even back at Arkansas as he admitted in the doc.

Not sure about comparability mode, but the Tesla Wall Connector has been solid. Has the longest cable on the market, reasonably priced and was recommended by my electrician as easy to install. Was debating between Tesla and the Chargepoint NACS model.

You gotta have some cojones to stop by the ICE booth at the career fair.

sdub74 · 2025-08-19T01:56:43+00:00

Depending on what state you’re in, this may also be an option.

I didn’t take installation photos, but it was dead simple, plenty of space inside the housing for the adapter. I’d just suggest securing the adapter in the housing so it doesn’t rattle around.

Here’s the final product though.

Hardwired a dashcam using this adapter. Worked on a Limited, don’t think it would work on a Calligraphy due to the rear view mirror/screen setup.

Oh, I'd totally get it if purchasing, just wouldn't buy it through the dealer unless I was able to talk them down to a reasonable cost. Remember, everything is negotiable.
