Tesla just mailed me to say that FSD is transferable to a new vehicle if I move by September. Since my M3P is four years old they've obviously got their marketing algorithm correctly tweaked! Some questions: 1. Is this deal repeated a lot? Since FSD is now "worth" 19k on Canadian new orders, I...

Any regrets after a month? I'm toying with trading my M3 Performance and Golf in for a MY Performance (I want one EV that can do everything year around and the M3 just cannot transport stuff as well as the Golf - try to get a boxed printer into an M3 if you don't believe me). Actually I won't be...

Hey there, which SwissTrax tile did you go for? Looks spot-on. I hate how my normally spotless and well-organized garage looks through winter, even with a sealed floor. Also hate popping to get something from the car in my shoe-less feet and forgetting about the run-off.

If deleting my Celsius post gets this thread back to its original purpose and allows it to return to the Model 3 forum then that’s fine by me.

Three-quarters of my (non-CEL) holdings are in easily-convertible coins like PAXG (1:1 gold) and stable coins (TUSD and TGBP). These attract high interest rates since people like to do things like buy cars with fiat currency - Celsius loan USD and stablecoins to private individuals. I get the...

Celsius works exactly the same way as banks - they lend the coins out, take interest and pay it out to depositors. They lend a lower proportion of it than banks do typically (ie the ratio is safer) and they pay out more of it in interest. They're less profitable than banks, proportionally, but...

Haven’t read the whole of this thread, so maybe this has been suggested before. Put some of your coins into Celsius (BTC Rewards | 1% Loan | Crypto Lending | Celsius) and take a USD loan. Your coins are used as collateral (and changes in their value are taken into account, on request) and are...

Nope and I don’t tend to modify my cars. I know plenty of people love to upgrade, but it’s never been my way. My RC car habit is a different matter! Buy cheap, mod the thing stealthily to hell and annoy my fellow racers! (Just family and friends, not league) As a hypothetical, if I modded my 3...

Fair points, although I only got the 911 in June :). I wrote my will, as a lot of us of a certain age (51 next Sunday) did earlier this year, I imagine, and realised there were a few boxes I wanted to tick before the executors get their hands on my stuff! So before the ink was dry I bought my...

3P and 992 C4S owner. By any yardstick, at legal speeds, on the straights, the 3P is quicker. Introduce bends, and for this driver (remember this when you start quoting stats at me) the 911 is way quicker. Not because of power or torque delivery. Purely because of feel. The 3 has next to no...

Not seeing mixed comments here, except from you :) - everyone is in favour of 220/240+. Over in Europe it's the only option. The C at 220/240V is nowhere near any danger zone. In my townhouse in Canada it's 208V, measured.

Last winter I drove the Performance on snow tires through all the snow Whistler could throw at me without dying. But... any ice and the thing started to get a bit too Scandinavian flicky for my liking. Had to roll back and give up in Bayshores on an untreated black-iced road. So - snow no...

I suspect (having not read the whole thread), that I've got the highest since the car is in BC (lunatic monopoly insurance regime) and I'm a non-resident, driving on a UK driving licence. North of CAD 8,000 per annum is the current rate. What's especially galling is that my 911 in the UK is...

Been a while since I've used it (still stuck on a different continent, since February), but I've switched off auto after two "failure-to-close" incidents. Since I can't see my garage door quite soon after departure, and since I've got serious bike G.A.S. it's just not worth the risk.
