The disconnect comes from having no experience with the system. If I so choose, I can arrive at my friend’s house in 40 minutes having not touched my wheel since leaving my driveway. To the uninitiated, this capability doesn’t exist and they only focus on the polarizing figure who has not...

The automotive definition of “upgrade” prior to Tesla was, “Come in and we’ll show you the latest model.” Tesla, under Elon, completely changed the automobile industry. Same as he’s doing in Space and possibly soon, underground.

I6 please! I was just in the store last week!

All they’re saying is 2027 for the start of deliveries. I got in on the first day, so hopefully I’m an early call.

I changed my Scout reservation to the gas range extender version. I read more about this new-ish style hybrid yesterday. It seems like solid mix of EV with gas capabilities without directly driving the vehicle using gas. Very good for outdoors activities, which fits with my lifestyle and of...

I hope I’m gone (via natural, full-lifespan death) before losing the ability to drive my own vehicle, either by market forces or age-related ailments.

When the cameras are “fooled”, you cannot engage FSD. If FSD is already engaged when the cameras become inoperable, the car warns you that it is about to disengage FSD. That all said, mine drove me through Hurricane Ian in 2022 when the storm hooked back over South Carolina for its second...

I hope they don’t. That’s not the standard I am looking for.

Perfectly reasonable. But pretending it doesn’t work is just wild.

The way people continue to describe FSD is wild considering how many times my car has driven for me with little to no intervention. Is it perfect? No. Are most random internet comments against it wildly exaggerated? Yup.

I’m so used to the ridiculous acceleration of my Model 3 Performance that I sometimes annoy passengers without realizing it. It’s great for changing lanes or merging into traffic.

Most of my cars were used. The Tesla and the Mach E both were bought used. The Outback was a new purchase. I think I’ve had 4 other new cars.

Mostly because I’ll be ready to move on. There’s way more viable EV options now compared to when I bought the Tesla. I’ve actually never had a car longer than just over 3 years. They’re my financial achilles heel. I’ve only recently kicked the habit (sort of lol). We did keep the Outback that I...

Nope. The only thing that has risen is my electric bill, by about 1/3 of what my gas expenses used to be. ;)

These people will exist for a while, better off ignoring them, kind of how the direction of the car market is… I’ve always loved the original Scout. My father had one when I was a kid and it was just the coolest thing to me. The new one looks very similar, of course in a modern way. The timing...

I have a Scout reservation in, though time will tell whether or not I go through with it.

Amazon. I’ve already tried it on a steak. It’s really good. Strong presentation of both flavors.

For tonight’s smash burgers.

I’m making my smashburgers again for our NYE party. It’s a tradition for us because I “got stuck” with NYE in my divorce, but turned it into a blast of a night with the kids once I met my now wife.

This was the problem my HOA faced. I learned it early on and rose to president to control the wasteful spending which was always generated through projects and contractors recommended by the management company. In our case, besides the obvious kickbacks from large projects, they also nickel and...
