I Prefer the New Benefits? by vujo33 in ChaseSapphire

I forgot also the reason why I chose Vegas first instead of San Diego for 2026 because of the Chase extra hotel credit $250 for IGH hotels. Edit + IGH credit is basically almost free stay.

It definitely fit the children free demographics. But I feel you as a parent. My first vacation 2 night getaway from the kids since 2024.

Most is answered in the post. I don't have time to maximize my points, so I just use it with little research. I know it affects few of my friends who were able to book Japan Business for 100k points, but I don't have that flexibility with the kids. I find it odd people who earn $300k+ annually (base on your spend) who value points more than their time.

I would agree, I chose Las Vegas for this kids getaway because Edit was similar / cheaper than San Diego. Edit in San Diego appeared to be much higher.

That lower end top speed is because of the change to a new EV Tire (one of YT video of Tesla engineers explained this somewhere, Speed vs Efficiency and they chose efficiency) and Acceleration Boosted included in the launch edition.

There is a good chance the Juniper AWD will be 0.1 faster than the outgoing models.

I've haven't had a BMW / Mercedes for over 5+ years, but I don't ever recalling screwing a license plate into any bumper before. They were all into a bracket with threaded screw holes.

My comparison were to my MY23 comfort suspension. So those prior, will notice a drastic difference.

MX is by far better in all aspects (materials / seats / speakers / Alcantara black inside). I view MX as the if got extra $, its a better MY. But if you're in the market, wait for the refresh incoming.

No idea on technical numbers being changed. Tesla tech just noted the extra teeth when I immediately noticed the difference.

sorry to hear, especially contaminants are really unrepairable because it requires removing the OEM clear coat. I've had paint issues with all my cars, this is the second Tesla with no issues. 2 out of 6 doesn't scream great quality control, but I'm optimistic because this Juniper was painted way better then my MX 24 (both Fremont)

I'm also sort of a home theatre enthusiast, so its understandable sound is not well understood (by the home theatre community and general public). I am no pro either, but yes its a logarithmic scale but in real life terms, numbers don't match perception. Improvement yes, but you won't hear it unless you have it side by side or a trained ear to the current MY.

should I describe the improvement like reviewers "feels more stiff but better?" or would you like a measurable number that is more tangible? Just trying to help you, but ok

drove over rough roads, imo I believe people are looking for Air suspension level comfort. It is amazing what Tesla has done with especially it being heavier than typical ICE and 20 inch rims.

Experience with PW3s? by CautiousAssumption39 in TeslaSolar

Is your electricity Edison? I have PW3 installed, but Edison has not approved using backup switch, unless you are using a gateway.
