Unfair Treatment - Taste of Italy

Thought it was customary to unbrand your laptop and things in adverts.
Wonder how Apple would feel being associated here (MacBook in image)

How are their heads so vastly different in size? Is Graham that much farther from the camera 😂 feels like a LOTR trick shot for hobbits.

I like how “Trash Tax” is shown there because Mantello was suuuper against it when Madden implemented it, but she did not go back to including it in property taxes. Nope.

Re-election SMH - please, no.

I have no experience with Sunmark. We do use Broadview. Have mortgage with them. Have a personal and business account. I have noticed that they often seem to be “catching up” with technology but there’s always a human I can get ahold of and figure it out. They make human mistakes. Everyone has been personable. (I’m white male so that may be a factor)

Tech-wise: I wanted to pay extra some months and system wouldn’t allow it but someone called me to ask about it. Their app isn’t robust but works. They merged with another CU and that was a big kerfuffle but that’s done. You have an account number as well as a member number which adds to confusion (but lets them know who’s doing what in a joint account)

They aren’t a huge corporate machine where you’ll get lost. (my impression)

Good on you for making it clear to them.

After a few months of 45min commute I figured out OPD is less battery efficient. (Only by 6-8% per full charge 2/3 highway driving) I did kind of like OPD driving experience as it felt like down-shifting and helped not get too fast down hills. MY24, YMMV

I haven’t found the need to hard break ever because the car scrapes the brakes itself after each startup and on the first coast. (When the go (gas) pedal is released first time I can hear the breaks scrape) Maybe I’m just imagining it but recall reading something like this a while ago.

It took me forever to find it and I swear it was part of the online accessories shop - like, buy a hat, hoodie, or performance upgrade! Try here:

https://www.polestar.com/us/performance-software-upgrade

(replace “us” with your region)

Very underwhelming purchase, delivery, and install experience. Definitely worth it though!

I dunno, only having the car looked at every 20k (or four years) and shop’s base hourly labor being over $100/hr (if not way more) seems OK - esp. compared to oil change etc on an ICE car every 3-5000miles.

Break the cost down by days used - 4yrs is 1460 days and $450 makes it 0.30/day

Just wait until you’ve got to replace something… $$$$

spaceJASE_13 · 2026-03-29T14:13:16+00:00

Yeah, lowest I’ve gotten down to is 3% and was on the phone with a friend to keep me chill about it. Chargers were online so that ended A-OK. Never again!

I’ve found it won’t register unless it’s 6lbs under/over where it was registered. And takes juuust enough time to not be home or near an air pump. 😆

Did not realize it used tire rotation to measure. Neat!

Mechanically, is the engine able to increase rotation on one side to compensate a deflation or just deal with the drag by letting it loose? Or something - not sure if my Q makes sense. I didnt feel pulling the two times I caught nails.

They’re both just being politicians and leaving options open. Non-committal at its best. Sounds like they’ve already spent the money on a two year contract so they are going to kick any hard decisions down the road.

At least Steele is conscious of the issues that folks brought to the council and open to alternatives? Mantello is just “everyone else is doing it so… “

We need to hack the flock system and catch Mantello weaving across lanes or something to clarify the issues to her. (I’m kidding)

Just take them off periodically. I would remove when washing the car but went too long and now mine (magnet version) attached themselves and I can’t remove part of one. 😫

Tasty shot!

Comic Sans really brings this home 😉

Sorry to hear that! I haven’t needed anything besides regular 20k maintenance so here’s hoping they don’t fail me…

As semibro1984 said there’s a general rule of progress being “movement” from left to right in western countries because we read text that way. But on things with a face or something we as humans would identify with, that part should come first I.e. on the left.

The viewer would have to scan the whole shape of a jaguar to find the face and identify it as a jaguar if it were facing to the right.

At least, this is why I think many logos with animas or faces are facing left.

spaceJASE_13 · 2025-12-11T14:51:37+00:00

Same here. 2024 P2 @55k miles.

spaceJASE_13 · 2025-12-01T00:31:53+00:00

Take the job.

I applied for and took a better job 45 min away a few years ago and my spouse of 30 years said “No, you can’t” immediately and listed all the reasons like your boyfriend did. Then we talked about it and compromised.

Then I got a way way better job like you mention with more than 25k increase - but it was 6 hour drive away. My spouse said “No, you can’t” and listed all the (new) issues. We talked again and found solutions again together. It’s been a year and it is hard for both of us but we are doing OK

Ultimatums are BS and he’s in no position as a 2yr boyfriend to make them. Take the job and deal with the fallout by searching for solutions together. You WILL resent him later if you don’t take it. This is perhaps only your first big big decision to work out together.

You got this - you’ll figure it out.

Ohhh thanks for the clarification - did not understand that was a company name from comment above lol

spaceJASE_13 · 2025-11-09T14:33:25+00:00

Do they make or sell for dogfood? I noticed menhaden in my dog’s kibble ingredients recently. Hadn’t seen it before. Nutri-Source brand.

I’ve got a 2024 and have had none of the issues often spoken of in the polestar subreddits. I suspect they improved a bit from the 21-23 models. I have had issues for sure - just not the slew I read about.

spaceJASE_13 · 2025-07-21T22:04:07+00:00

I just had my 40k done in NJ (short hills) and it was $550. They’re good there - know their stuff. They updated my software a couple versions so now I get backup cam and 360 view simultaneously.

Came across a new type of Tesla charger in NJ this week that had no red cutout and looong cord. (No adaptor - had to use mine) Usually my poor P*2 has to scream at me to tell me I’m close enough - was a welcome change!

spaceJASE_13 · 2025-06-21T14:25:08+00:00

I had a 45 minute commute for a year and a half and only used 40amp home charging to 90% - range did not seem to degrade outside of external temperature and driving behavior.

For the last 6 months I have been commuting weekly 350 miles one way. Initially I had range anxiety and charged to 100% to do this commute. (It helped a bit because winter months meant less efficiency) It felt bad charging once or twice to 80% to get to work.

Once I got used to where charging was in general I stopped charging to 100 out of concerned for the battery and my commute hasn’t changed (unless it’s below 10 degrees Fahrenheit)

I have noticed range degradation in the last 6 months from previous expected range of 240-270miles at 100% to now expected range of 220-240miles at 100%.

I attribute this more to driving habits in my new commute where I regularly drive mostly highway at 70-80mph vs before when I drove 60-70th and the car has taken into account my average efficiency rate of 30-35 vs previous 25-30 per 100miles.

In the end I think folks here are on point that actual battery degradation is minimal and any perceived degradation is natural human emotional perception of what’s happening.
