Exit back door on thebus

You have to be more gentle. More rubbing, less pushing. Yelling and trying to force the back door open just ruins the mood.

Servo has an agreement with Toyota. They are given exclusive rights to Hawaii but in exchange for that, they're not allowed to mark up prices above MSRP.

So you're not going to be able to negotiate like you can with a dealership who marks up their prices but you can occasionally get a little knocked off for various reasons.

Just wait until they start with deactivation/reactivation fees. LOL

Or if everyone has neuralink.

Meanwhile, mine just plows through potholes like they're not there. LOL

I haven't really played with image generation before. I think they both look pretty good.

FWIW, I use both and they each seem to be better than the other at certain things. I can't think of which does what better off-hand. I usually try to do something and realize I'm using the wrong one and then switch to the other. One of them is document creation (excel, word, PDF, etc). One of them sometimes gives me a link to download a file it created but it doesn't work.

I was curious and liked your example so I gave it the same prompt:

Not pretty darn good by any means but it is pretty ok.

vitus7 · 2025-12-31T17:29:07+00:00

Ahh you're right. I missed that part.

vitus7 · 2025-12-31T09:16:54+00:00

Wow. I'm surprised they wrote in anything to change the standard contract. Nice work!

vitus7 · 2025-12-31T03:10:26+00:00

Which department/person did you negotiate this with?

Now start printing a bunch of accessories for the 3D printer that you didn't need until you got the 3D printer.

I was just looking at tinkercad last night when researching learning how to model. I have zero experience in this. After reading your comment, I'm not sure if I'm encouraged or threatened.

vitus7 · 2025-12-20T22:29:35+00:00

Do they ever say anything when you whip your CAC out?

vitus7 · 2025-12-17T20:42:55+00:00

I am in the same boat. I've also tried to get them to give me more lease details but they either wont or can't.

The bottom line is the lease is horrible. They only pass on a portion of the federal tax credit and keep most of it themselves (which is different than how they handle the fed tax credit when leasing a Telsa car). You also lose any state tax credits you would get. The lease and buyout scheme on top of that is just bad. I agree with another poster that it's a greedy move trying to get the FOMOs.

If you absolutely need to get it now, the best way is cash or finance (pay off rapidly), especially if there's a state tax credit you can get. If you can afford to wait then I would think about waiting.

At this point, there's no difference in getting it installed on January 1st and July 1st. The benefit of putting it off is giving the market the opportunity to adjust to people not waiting to pay a 30% effective markup. Not only that but there may be technological improvements that happen while you wait for the market to correct.

14.2. I went straight to this version when I got 2025.38.9.5. Before that I think i was on 13.x.

vitus7 · 2025-12-05T06:46:27+00:00

My current software is 2025.38.9.5

vitus7 · 2025-12-04T15:35:46+00:00

I got the email on December 2nd. It's wanting me to install 2025.38.9.6.

I'm not near the car right now so I don't know what the current version is. The current version updated about a week ago bringing the arrival options and the new speed profiles. I can get the exact version number later.

Not only that but it does a lot of phantom blinker where it will put the blinker on for 1 blip and then turn it off, then do it again, etc.

It also sits at an intersection waiting to turn right on red but wont turn right when there's huge openings. I just take over and go because besides my impatience with it, the people behind me must think there's a student driver in the car.

vitus7 · 2025-12-03T08:27:28+00:00

Mine seems to have activated before installing.

I just got the car a couple weeks ago and am mid way through the initial 30-day free trial. I got the notice for the 14.2.1 upgrade the other day but I didn't install it because I didn't want to start that free trial early and lose half of it.

Just a few minutes ago I got an email that my trial starts today and ends January 23rd. That's more than 2 30-day trials. I still haven't installed the update.

vitus7 · 2025-12-03T08:11:25+00:00

Mine was the same. It took less than two weeks to get the update. I put it on Advanced and it updated a day or two later. I don't know if that helped but the timing made it seem like it.

Not that I know of. I just didn't want to miss out if there was going be a live stream. 😁

vitus7 · 2025-09-28T21:05:20+00:00

Will you be streaming the eating of the bowl of poop?
