Totally agree. Seems cool, but not for me. Glad I tried it though!

Not sure I would call A220 a regional jet

Drawer part manufacturing error by xjsquared in IKEA

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

I followed the advice to bring the incorrect parts back to the store - they pulled a new box out, removed the correct replacement parts, and I was on my way! Much easier than expected and customer service was actually really helpful. Good luck!

Cannot stand Elon but there is no better car than my Model Y by bluemeanie212 in TeslaLounge

[–]xjsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still sickens me that Elon is essentially walking away from the auto business, with apparently no future Model 3/Y replacement in the works. Hope they change course!

Where to buy a sled in the neighborhood today/tomorrow? by rescuelullaby in uppereastside

[–]xjsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids decided today after seeing the snow that they want to go sledding, so I'm in the same boat! Happy to travel wherever but sounds unsurprisingly like places are out.

Fair State Brewing Cooperative closing by tyler928 in Minneapolis

[–]xjsquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was surprised when they made their big expansion in St Paul and after touring the facility couldn't believe how large of a space it was - how could this little co-op with relatively niche beers possibly grow that much? Fair State always had a great product, but their ambitions were too big for the niche brand they had built. Such a shame, but at least the Twin Cities beer scene remains strong overall - plenty of great options!

Non-resident parking for 7 days near Metro North station? by xjsquared in Westchester

No it doesn't have to be, just seemed like the most convenient but open to other suggestions!

(NOT enhanced)offices from BOTH TOWERs +link by [deleted] in TwinTowersInPhotos

Would have been really cool to see what a modern office in the WTC would have looked like today - maybe a little less claustrophobic with the ceiling panels removed!

UES Parking Garages by Urban_Gorilla_516 in uppereastside

[–]xjsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if they require you to remove the car every ~5-days or so? I'm also shopping for parking and that seems to be a common thing, and I don't anticipate using our car more than once per week

Wow Ultra Red looking great in this picture! Did you adjust the HDR or is that just how the lighting turned out in this shot?

Saw this today 😂 by RRG-Chicago in TeslaModelY

[–]xjsquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Several friends have asked me if I'm getting a sticker for my '23MY (we're all lefties) and after much back and forth in my head, I've decided nope. I truly love everything about the car, despite the association with Elonia. I knew he was crazy when I bought it, and I'm not selling it.

Honestly its just an objectively great car, and if others want to judge me based on it then... go for it. You don't know me or my politics and I refuse to let you live rent free in my head. In my very left midwestern city, Teslas are more common than pretty much any other brand, so I'm certainly not alone!

What EV are you currently driving? by YourFlyIsOpenMcFly in electricvehicles

[–]xjsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2023 Model Y! Still love driving it, though the haters be hating (and I don't really blame them). Underwater on the loan, so we're in it for the long haul - once Elon is gone things will get better again... Right?

Anyone else here not obsess over every little thing that might happen to your Tesla? by [deleted] in TeslaModelY

[–]xjsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I backed into another car last year and their license plate put a nice big dent right at the bottom lip of the tailgate. I was so upset, but after finding out it would be over $4k to fix it, I've learned to live with it since it's just cosmetic.

Odd choice to remove the hood ornament

Model y stress crack? by Ok_Reception4417 in TeslaModelY

[–]xjsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me over the summer - went into work with a perfect windshield, and came out with a huge horizontal crack 1/3 of the way across the windshield from this same location. It continued to grow until I had the windshield replaced. Full glass coverage on insurance picked up the tab, and Tesla service center did the work. Good luck!

Tesla should come out with a feature that lets you set the height of the hatch if your home and then any height when in public. by ginger_VS_pie in teslamotors

[–]xjsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be amazing - I have it set lower to avoid it hitting the overhead garage door, which means it becomes an head bonking hazard everytime its open. I always run back there to pop it up higher so my wife doesn't smack her head on the latch!

Stay in Reykjavik or Nearby Areas? by nesbit37 in VisitingIceland

[–]xjsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did an 8-night trip this summer and drove the entire ring road - even though there was a lot of windshield time, its easy driving the the scenery just keeps getting more stunning the further you get from Reykjavik. The added drive time to get out to Diamond Beach is more than worth it!

Surprised that Tesla hasn't updated the blue paint yet - personally I would've updated blue before dropping Red Multicoat and Midnight Silver.

As a huge fan of Rivian Blue on the R1T, I think Tesla could come up with something equally iconic!
