re: Tesla Owners: What’s the Worst Part of Owning a Tesla?

Unfortunately, the spread of EVs using electricity which is usually free at a campground, may lead to metering of the individual sites. At least from reading various camping/RV sites.
Interesting. I’m guessing Upstate SC is still relatively low EV enough that this won’t happen anytime soon. I use the Rivian Wayside charger at Table Rock when we are on the trails/lake. Totally free.

This all sounds like any given Thursday circa 199[]-200[].

It’s a no-brainer vehicle given we have a fleet of ICE vehicles. AWD is very grippy and fast (there are a couple spots where I have to pull out on the highway at the bottom of a blind hill, and redneck retards enjoy going 70+ in a 45 over it and then almost rear-end people. No more. I’m floor it to get a safe distance then watch Ricky Ray Ramtard pass slackjawed).
Our house has solar panels when we bought it. Normal usage is a ripoff by the power co. But we funnel it to the car.
Free charging at our favorite nearby state park and various places around town (I have some secret spots near places we go).
And superchargers and hotel chargers make road trips easy. Plus I can charge at campsites. I am turning our Y into a mobile office/camper.
Hybrid foam/air mattress custom fit to the Y, fridge in the sub trunk, climate controlled obviously. Tent/fly too.
I got it at 0% interest to help offset depreciation. And the price was about like a well-equipped RAV-4. FSD is the real deal. It isn’t perfect. But it takes the edge off of driving and frees me up to scan for deer etc (big problem around here).
Also, yes, I’m a giant f@ggot.

Always love going to the walmart in Beaver Creek
Many years ago, my wife and I went on a cross-country trip in our truck camper and got into Montrose, CO (now I’m thinking it may have been Gunnison) too late to find a wilderness spot, so we stayed at the Walmart. We bought a few things and then got breakfast the next am at McDonald’s.
We felt like we were at a resort. It became our backup plan for the next crash.

I was an early adopter, and I liked the practice a lot better when i was the only one I knew doing it. Lol.
I guess my family is a mix of the two pics. No tats, I wear a suit about once a month now, a dress shirt with shorts for the occasional Zoom meeting (I usually just turn off the camera), mutts not pits, single income two kids. More outdoor/work garb than the airport sweatpants look.
In spirit, I guess we’re more like the “before” pic, but with a homesteading, non corporate twist.

I enjoyed it well enough for what it was, but it certainly wasn't very good
My friend recommended it while we were hiking up a mountain to a waterfall and talking about near-death kayaking experiences. So my expectations were set way too high.
I like Eric Bana but (spoiler lol) his part was… minor.
There was no plot. (Seemed like “choose the bear” propaganda, to the extent any thought was involved in the “writing.”)
Zero character development except for “badass woman whose man got kilt.
And the corny ending where she conquers a familiar feature …. Booooooo.
No points awarded, including to Charlise and her sunken-assed mug.

I must live in an alternate reality. I can’t off the top of my head think of a worse movie. And Theron looks like a bad clone of herself. I mean she’s still hot for her age. But she looks weird.

AI can take any job, with the way people are talking about it, and, if it comes to fruition, it will. I have discussed the difference between previous new tech booms and this one. Never before has it been “replace the worker” on this scale. And there isn’t a “just shift to AI repair and management”.
Scruffy is right.
Right now, in law, there is still somewhat of a garbage-in, garbage-out phenomenon, and a need for experienced lawyers who learned the hard way how to think and write. And communicate. Show up at the golf course, closing tables, and courtrooms.
But the time and effort it takes to do the vast majority of legal work has been drastically reduced. And the incentives to hire young lawyers and try to train them while they poop out AI slop are very low.
Paralegals and other staff will be largely obsolete very soon.
Crazy times.

No a/c in our Missoula, MT house. Usually even the 100+ days aren’t a big deal if you do it right with windows open until sun is up then seal in the cool air. But a couple summers ago we had to sleep in the basement apartment bc it wasn’t cooling off enough at night for a week or so.
I think I’m going to splurge and get at least a mini split or two.
Amazing. REO was no joke brah.
