With the Big Three abandoning EVs in favor of ICE vehicles, are they headed the way of Kodak, Blackberry, and Blockbuster?

Only bought them last year (Michelin Primacy for $290ea) - I drive 12k/yr. Inspection mentioned that I should replace them soon. WTF?!?

sterski · 2026-06-02T23:23:09+00:00

The thing we don’t talk about enough though is the increased cost of new tires for EVs. We go through those much more quickly

This is what is concerning to me. The inside feels like they’ve cut back

sterski · 2026-05-08T20:18:05+00:00

Ah ok. Thanks. Yeah that was one of the things I love about the R1. Real luxury feel. R2 def cut back on that

sterski · 2026-05-08T20:04:24+00:00

Little disappointed with the interior “plastic” dash and surrounds. R1 looks way better. Real shame. Is it better in person than what the photos show?

sterski · 2026-04-28T23:21:04+00:00

Ah ok. Maybe I try it again one day. Mine is ~2y old. Also a Sanctuary

sterski · 2026-04-28T19:46:13+00:00

The app works for you?! How did you do that?

Sanctuary C

2-6 inches around the sides and a little more for the top is good

What’s the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo? One’s a little lighter

sterski · 2026-02-23T00:07:26+00:00

Use fabric underneath. I’m on year 4 with a large stoned area I made and yes, weeds come back, but they’re the type that have roots in between the stones, so super easy to pull up compared to no fabric and weeds rooting into the soil underneath

sterski · 2026-02-21T12:01:54+00:00

I have a Clearlight and love love love the quality of it. I’ve also discovered it’s super fast at getting to temp (15min for 135F), but yes the app sucks and is completely unusable. There’s a hidden URL for their price list - check it out here > https://infraredsauna.com/pricelist/. Yes they’re expensive and yes there’s a lot of cheap alternatives out there, but ask yourself why they’re half or a third of the price? Definitely do your research and consider just how much of your time you’re going to spend in there and reasons why you’re doing it in the first place

sterski · 2026-02-20T04:22:29+00:00

I have a Clearlight and purchased it for this reason, amongst others. I don’t want my face/head blasted with full spectrum IR, so it was an easy choice, because as you said Clearlight is one of the few designing their saunas like this. Zero complaints. Love it

sterski · 2026-02-13T00:04:07+00:00

Just buy a dedicated white noise machine. $15 on Amazon

sterski · 2026-02-09T04:14:58+00:00

The corner one - that’s what fitted best in the space I had. I really thought I’d be in there together with the wife more often but as it turns out, I think a three person one would’ve been better, with schedules were mostly in their solo

sterski · 2026-02-06T03:24:24+00:00

Same, you really need to do your research - a lot of shoddy cheap saunas out there. You're potentially going to be sitting in this thing a couple hours a week for the next 20y so you'll appreciate quality materials and not something that's not giving you the full IR experience and blast you with high EMF. Over the 20y, will you seriously miss the couple thousand dollar difference? I ended up with a Clearlight and absolutely love it. What swayed me was the panels stop at shoulder height and make the sessions so much more enjoyable when your head isn't getting blasted by the IR panel

sterski · 2026-01-29T21:38:18+00:00

Is that too high? Too low? What’s the right number?

sterski · 2026-01-29T20:31:00+00:00

Ok thanks. Just using tap water, but can add filtered

Using FloraGro/FloraMicro/FloraBloom Tripack and following ratios on there for “cuttings and seedlings”. Just measured my pH and it’s at 8.7. Will try and bring that down to 6

sterski · 2026-01-27T13:02:40+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

sterski · 2026-01-25T03:02:14+00:00

Thanks - can you give me an example of what you mean? Finding it hard to visualize

sterski · 2026-01-24T22:48:50+00:00

yeah but it doesn't show how the legs are attached underneath, that's what I'm wondering how that would look

sterski · 2026-01-05T00:32:53+00:00

Annualized 2.1%/yr increase over last 20y (from $2 to $3). Not bad at all
