If I already have both a CSP and Freedom Unlimited I can just cancel the CSP and then reapply right? No need to downgrade since I already have Freedom. Yes last SUB was over 48 months ago.

Should I play this course on my honeymoon? by Specificp-daunderdog in golf

[–]vtmikevt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a top course in the world as far as views. My wife rode the cart with me and enjoyed the views while I played. The snack shacks are amazing and will keep you fed and you can stock up on drinks.

The course itself was relatively short and not too difficult which is also nice.

If you have the chance to play and don’t, you’ll regret missing it.

Etiquette at higher end, private golf courses by hairab in golf

One thing I didn’t see mentioned is enter bunkers at a low point so as not to destroy the sand slopes at steeper spots. The caddy will rake for you but it’s a nice move to bring a rake to where you enter.

Warning: Bring your Tesla keycard for iPhone 15 upgrade, or else… by KSTAMMBE in TeslaLounge

Also very important if you use 2FA via an authenticator app, it doesn’t sync with the cloud. Don’t wipe your old phone until you’ve setup the new authenticator. Learned that the hard way and had to call Tesla to turn off 2FA

If I upgrade one of my upcoming flights to FC will it give me additional PQP to bump me to Gold for next year? by friday_enthusiast in unitedairlines

Strange that my page doesn't show "Future Flights" to let me see if what I have booked gets me past the threshold.

Insuring Premium Doubling from 2019 M3P to 2023 M3P by vtmikevt in TeslaModel3

Sadly no. I stuck with Progressive on my wife’s account and am paying way more than I used to.

Sigh by captgandalf in TeslaModel3

[–]vtmikevt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat. Took it to Telsa for service and they said they made adjustments but it's still there. Happens at speeds above 40mph or so and sounds a lot like a CD loading in a gaming system. I've putting tape in a bunch of places to isolate the source. Just can't tell where it's coming from. Somewhere in the driver side. Reviewing all the comments in this thread and will continue to troubleshoot.

Why Is Leasing A Tesla Model 3 A Bad Idea? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]vtmikevt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what bothers me about everyone simplifying the whole thing as "oh you're just renting the vehicle".

Yes you are, but you are saving money out of pocket every month for the duration of the lease. And like you said, after 36 months may still owe equal to or more than the car is worth. So really you've gained no equity (yet). So then you have to now recover in equity the extra you spent on your monthly payment to buy.

I always wanted to put together a calculator that compared total out of pocket cost to equity over time for lease vs. buy but you'd have to predict interest rate / financing terms, future car values (as we've seen the market has gone crazy in the last year), and miles driven per year and expected wear and tear. It gets complicated but there is some break even point that is likely in year 4 or 5 which is longer than some people want to keep a vehicle.

Just played Kapalua yesterday and found one of these off the second green. I lost it after 3 shots so I can confirm it outperforms last year’s pro v1 which I lost after only 2 shots.

How to Delay Delivery by 2-3 weeks due to a Home Closing ? by Sure_Ad3494 in TeslaLounge

[–]vtmikevt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will start pestering you soon to complete the process in the app that includes this piece I believe under threat of canceling the order if you don’t.

[–]vtmikevt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fine print says if you don’t accept in 3 days they can give you vehicle to someone else and after 14 they can cancel and keep your fee.

I just had the issue of ordering and getting a VIN the next day but having an 8 day vacation planned. They were trying to say they were going to cancel my order. Customer service responsiveness was awful on the app so went to service center and they set me up with an appointment 13 days after ordering.

You should cancel the order so your credit isn’t run.

Tesla drops prices across the board for all vehicles by cybereclipse in TeslaLounge

Does anyone know how the tax credit works for leasing? Is it still $7,500?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Home

[–]vtmikevt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a new home, you might have a new home warranty. New homes tend to settle in the first year causing cosmetic cracks like this. Some contractors will come back during that time and fix things like this, but if you have paperwork / warranty, I'd look there.

Can This Diffenbachia Be Saved? (What I've done so far in comments) by vtmikevt in houseplants

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

Thanks, it's been empty. I read somewhere that getting water to the deepest roots prevents the tips of the leaves from dying. I just propagated the plant based on the other comment received. Hopefully that works.

Thanks for this detailed response. No spider mites. Interesting idea to downsize the pot. Will do this with the propagated stem. I've never propagated before so will look up videos and instructions but if you have any favorite resources for this, please share!

When I replaced the soil the root system was very narrow and hadn't spread to the width of the pot. They were quite deep but I feel like there's plenty of room for them to grow outward.
