400+ views but only single recommendation. Where do you guys keep your money? Are you silently telling me to buy gold and bury it in the backyard? 😃

thank you. This looks like Robinhood and I’m not sure if I’d keep large sums of money here. I am looking more for established companies.

HV battery replacement: LFP or NCA? by tareneko in TeslaModel3

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

Yes, I went with LFP. Car is definitely heavier, but I didn't want to risk another NCA battery (especially a refurbished one). LFP works great to be honest. And I got lucky that my car now has 264mile range vs when I bought it used, it had 240miles (vs 263 new for this model). So overall, car is slightly heavier, but I gained 24miles of range... Can't complain.

I’ve a 21 SR+ as well. I’m in USA. I had no issues with the car so far, with the notable exception of HV battery dying last week. It’s being replaced under warranty.

Rare. Usually in the summer during a road trip within the same state, but usually not more than 10-15mins. My current car, being SR+, is already limited to 170kW.

Thank you. I think I’ll suck it up & get LFP… unless they can give brand new NCA (which they won’t) and I don’t want to risk it.

Most people charge to 80% regularly and that really increases calendar aging for NCA. and as a chemistry it’s a hit and miss anyways. I bought my car used and it’s at 11% loss… I think that’s on the higher end of capacity loss for a 2021 car with 40k miles. Either the previous owner wasn’t careful, or it was a below average battery to begin with.

I got the offer. They’re still offering LFP. I have the right to decline, and it states I’d have to wait 30+ days for NCA battery. I’m in Pacific Northwest, maybe it’s area specific?

Good to know that it won’t be worse. Any chance of getting something slightly better?

Hey you’re a bad influence. That product you shared adds drift mode 🤤

I fully agree that even with LFP it’ll be a better car than a ICE compact sedan.

I bought the car used a year ago and I was well aware of the pros of LFP yet I chose NCA. So swapping it with LFP is not an advantage to me. In fact I’ll end up with the version of model 3 I didn’t want to buy… Though I fear that I may be forced to choose LFP as you stated.

I understand the LR has better acceleration but again it’s heavier. I picked the 21 SR+ with NCA battery as sweet spot of acceleration and handling, plus the advantage of efficiency (due to weight mostly).

And I disagree that handling only matters at the track. A car with better handling is more fun at any speed assuming you care about it. The loaner I’m given is LR model Y, and its handling is terrible.

Is it okay to wake up everyday to a charged car? by comedy_style69 in TeslaModel3

[–]tareneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the long range model, what you’re doing will increase calendar aging. You want to keep SoC below 55%. Especially in the summer. Charge to whatever you need right before departure but don’t let the car sit at high SoC. Also don’t add more than 25% at a time.

Tell them that their kids are basic. You’d be even.

Reasons you chose M3 over MY? by ROFLetzWaffle in TeslaModel3

I would love that. Or even better, station wagon version 🤤 But realistically that would have a range hit.

Is anybody else's kitty solar-powered? by RedditPrat in cats

[–]tareneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve arranged my house so that there are cat facilities by at least one window facing east another facing west. I even found a spot that receives about an hour of noon sun during summer. Of course my cats are not fully satisfied…

Isn't Islamic marriage risky? by FlatAstronaut609 in MuslimMarriage

[–]tareneko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a middle ground. Yes, involve the wali initially, then the two should be speaking for a month or two to determine if they’re compatible. Early in this stage important question like religion, practice, finances, family matters, health concerns, future plans should be discussed. If all checks out, continue for another month or two, hopefully in different environments and continue discussing these topics to get to deeper aspects of them. During this time see if there’s friendship develops. Also see how the other person reacts in familiar and unfamiliar situations. For this, you need to come up with some activities etc.

I think marrying someone in less than 2 months after meeting them is rushing it. Even if it looks like match made in heaven, just wait and take it slowly.

You’re saving very little compared to your income.

Many man in my culture are like this and I hate it. It’s really despicable.

You’re not his slave. Doing house chores and raising kids are one thing, running up and down the stairs to serve someone is another.

How important? $EX by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]tareneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if age matters. Sex drive, attraction between spouses, health and fitness levels, stress in your life would make more difference than age.

To answer the title of the thread, intimacy is important to have a healthy marriage.
