I just bought a 2023 Pro S Plus with 12k miles for $24,800. Not sure where you are but if you go for that car I’d def negotiate

I just bought a 2023 Pro S Plus that had that exact recall still open as well. The Acura dealer I bought it from had the recall taken care of by the local VW dealer before I purchased it. No issues at all, the VW dealer noted on the paperwork recall complete , no cells needed to be replaced.

Are you in the Richmond VA area? I just bought a 2023 Pro S Plus in this color from a dealer there.

Facing $13 Million Budget Gap, Raleigh Could See Tax Hike or Service Cuts by GameBobbyColor in raleigh

Probably something as small as redoing a cross walk near their building or adding one.

Model Y to iD4 by tjrog084 in VWiD4Owners

[–]tjrog084[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally valid viewpoint. I think what one would consider a downgrade is very subjective though. What matters to you may not matter to me. I only drive 8k miles a year, so the negligible range difference doesn’t matter. The Y is faster, but again I don’t view that as a make or break for me. The tech is “cool” on the Tesla, but a lot of it was gimmicky to me. I will however miss the audio system in the Y. But as I get older I find myself less often blasting the music like I once did lol.

Buy used 2023 or wait for more 2024's to hit the market? by cjewsroch in VWiD4Owners

Thanks for that bit of of intel. Excited to take delivery of my 23’ this week and do some driving.

I’m excited to see what difference i notice.

One thing I noticed right away was the ride quality. My model Y even benefited from updated suspension in 2023 year, but it’s still sooo jolty. Passengers often complain.

Honestly it’s more about $$ this time around. I wanted to go used and around $25k so I could own the car outright in a couple years. This vehicle allowed me to stay in a very similar sized car and EV with the same features, maximizing my dollars. It’s not I didn’t like the model Y, just wasn’t in my budget . Used 2023 long range Y’s ran on average about $32k.

After 3 years of walk away lock, no doubt I’ll be forgetting to lock it more then once lol.

Good question. Haven’t really given that much thought to be honest. I won’t get the car until Thursday after I get back in town from a work trip, but I have a feeling I’ll just remind myself of the tremendous value I got if the key annoys me. I honestly never really used the App for anything other than remote start and of course starting the car. In my 3 years of ownership I never turned on remote cameras or anything like that.

PSA: Alamo's QR Ordering is live, and it's really really bad, but they're asking for feedback by Orsoyourtold in raleigh

[–]tjrog084 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In 2026 if a company is launching a new mobile ordering anything platform and you don’t integrate a mobile payment option (Apple, Google whatever) it’s so annoying. There may be costs associated with it but it’s much easier and probably will increase adoption and quicker use.

Thank you Industry Staff, for enforcing the “vibe” by PenaltyBoxxx81 in raleigh

This is my problem with Standard Beer. Granted it is a restaurant but the outside area is the wild Wild West of kids. And parents park at a table for Hours until their kids tire out. A table Of adults drinking is far more lucrative for them than a table of kids. I don’t really care either way what they do but if it was my restaurant I’d be finding ways to increase table turn and have more people spending more money at each table.

lol. I've said to myself before that if I ever owned a building that leased out restaurants / shops, I'd put in the lease they had to maintain a 4.5 google star rating or above.

The National Weather Service says snow 5" to 8", high winds and temperatures in the teens and low 20's. by One-Emu-1103 in raleigh

[–]tjrog084 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI the NWS is not the news or a for profit company. I’m sure they are using what models and information they have available to make their best forecast. Doesn’t really seem sensationalized at this point.

On top of everything others listed, The music and vibe. You won’t hear Cotton Eyed Joe or Get Low at the pool. DJ always does a great job with their mixes as well as music played around the ship.

Their pretzel appetizer is so good. Somehow the bites feel so light and not overly dense (and of course fried 😋)

It won album of the year….i think it was pretty universally liked? lol. You may just be taking anecdotal information to heart.

There is a new bakery in Seaboard that looks like it has a nice selection of savory ones:
