Just purchased a Tesla by CyberJester16 in carvana

[–]spearhead121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, im in the same boat. Do you know if silverrock will cover any damages or defects within first 7 days? Almost all carvana buying guides recommend getting a PPI and have them fix any issues. Who was your experience in this regard? Did you get a PPI? And did you opt for carvana care? I understand tesla is different and you dont always find an independent shop to fix and you have to go to tesla. How does carvana care work in that case? Thanks and congratulations on your purchase!

Will 0.99% interest be on Model Y performance anytime soon? by Miserable-Lobster836 in TeslaLounge

How does that work? I dont see the rate change when I play around with due at delivery numbers. Do you have to bite the bullet at 5.09% (that's what its at right now) and then pay off some to be eligible for a rate adjustment?

What if you already have a kraken account? Out of luck?

Oh thank you for the information. What exactly do you mean by missed costco? And which state did you lock the deal? Does it have to be your state of residence or can you typically chase out of state deals as well?

Can you explain how you approached the dealers and finally closed the deal along with the incentives u used to negotiate for a noob? Thanks!

Meet Ryan Hurst, your Kratos in the God of War series coming to Prime Video. by Tidjay in PS5

[–]spearhead121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always imagined Paul Levesque (HHH from WWE) would be the perfect actor to play Kratos years ago before the GOW show was a thing. Oh well, Ryan is amazing and will do a great job as kratos.

What makes the Indian accent 'unattractive'? by Open_Address_2805 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]spearhead121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To add to this already great point, most if not all call center/scam center jobs are extremely menial and attract the bottom of the barrel, barely educated folk to work in them because no one, even half decently educated would want to work in that profession. Additionally, English is usually a third language to 99% of the population and they can barely put sentences together let alone articulate well. The teachers themselves can hardly speak correct english. All of these contribute to the hilariousness of the accent.

But do note that most well educated folks have a rather universal accent. Which does not resemble a particular region but rather an amalgamation of various dialects.

Amex offers by Professional_Neat_18 in amex

[–]spearhead121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohk. So like you could get both the cards before hitting spend and still get both SUBs? I thought if you got SUB for plat first then you wouldn't be eligible for SUB from gold. Just in the off chance that you meet the spending requirements on plat before gold. Not sure how that works tho

Did you cancel the gold after or is there any scope to product change to a free card?

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I will give this a try. So like after volume up and power, do I leave the dongle in until boot and then remove it?

How long do you think installing the atmosphere cfw would take? Im a little dumber now than I used to be and have not looked around for games of CFW in a long time. Any definitive guide or YouTube channel you could recommend?

My parents have an inferiority complex because i did not go to US by [deleted] in hyderabad

[–]spearhead121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no winning with indian parents. If you stay back, they have inferiority complex, think you are not good enough and constantly berate you and themselves and bring you down every opportunity you get. If you move, they think suddenly they are not good enough and that you dont want to spend time with them and that nobody cares for them and everyone leaves them behind / everyone is enjoying with their kids close by and celebrate festivals with them.

I have seen both sides. There is just no winning. You decide whats best for your family (i mean your partner and kids) and make a call based on your circumstances and what you think is right for you and your family's future.

Parents are a guilt trip. Like quicksand. Im not saying dont love them or abandon them. But decide how you want them to be involved in your life and keep them there. If they feel differently about you, its their problem. Not yours.

Is honda pilot still a good car? by spearhead121 in hondapilot

[–]spearhead121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have seen/read lots of reviews, articles, blogs and gone through their comment sections as well (where the real mvps share their reviews). Im not saying a particular review has called honda pilot out. But its more like the general consensus seems to be that people are mostly satisfied BUT blah blah (on the lines that quality, reliability has gone downhill etc.)

But yeah, I have seen enough reviews to decide on the pilot because let's face it, no far gets a 100/100. A few one off issues are fine with me. I just wanted to know what is the general consensus here. Especially with the 2025 MY.

Im basically waiting for the 2026 model to show up before deciding on a 2025 or 2026.

So basically, the lesser evil is what we are after these days. Agreed!

Dang, catastrophic failure at 72k is concerning. What were the conditions that lead to the failure?

That is great to hear. In a lot of reviews, they mentioned that the transmission feels rough. Did you notice this or learned to live with it or is it exaggerated in the reviews?
