    Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Discussion Thread

    In terms of a different crypto, Litecoin is commonly thought of as a payments coin. It would perform this job quicker & cheaper than Ethereum does, but the more interesting solution comes in the form of additional layers built on top of a blockchain, for instance the lightning layer built on top...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Palantir is extremely opaque, so it's hard to get a great read. Peter Thiel likes to really get sh*t done & go from Zero to One if you've read his book. This profile is very narrative-driven, but it's a great read if you're looking into Palantir and what their capabilities are: The ultimate...

    Front Bumper damage from shopping cart

    Honestly just walked up to the service desk after my grocery shopping and asked. It clearly seemed to be within the manager's discretion to keep a good customer happy

    19" Gemini vs 20" Induction?

    Recently got a white Model Y with the inductions, and I don't regret it a bit. Love them in person more than I thought I would. No concerns over range or ride quality whatsoever.

    Front Bumper damage from shopping cart

    Closing the loop here as a happy PPF customer. My PPF shop did a great job repairing my Model Y. They replaced the film on the front bumper, buffed it out, and charged me $400 for labor. I went back to Costco for my weekly grocery run today, took my $400 receipt to the desk, and the manager...

    To PPF or not to PPF?

    Definitely should expect a detailing and likely one or two stage paint correction as well. I got Front & lower sides PPF, and they did 2-stage with clay bar treatment first, no questions asked

    Front Bumper damage from shopping cart

    Unfortunately no sentry cam set up yet, but I did witness the same exact happen a second time while I was coming back to the car with the store manager after filing the complaint. Thanks for the tips but it still looks more or less the same after wiping and hitting with the hairdryer, so I'll...

    Front Bumper damage from shopping cart

    Parked at grocery store on a windy day and came out to find this damage on my front bumper and a shopping cart leaning against my Model Y. I did file a claim with the store -- TBD. It is wrapped in PPF, but it is freezing cold outside, so maybe self healing has not activated? Should I get out a...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Curious if you may be more interested in Metromile as an alternative then. The auto insurance market, to me, is the most clearly disruptable piece of insurance due to the data advantage attainable by plugging into internet-connected vehicles. Tesla insurance can't take over the whole insurance...

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    Bumper issue ended up having to go to the body shop, so I was queued back up for a new Model Y. Have now been assigned VIN 743xx. Hope it doesn't take forever to get to East Coast

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    Spoke to Tesla SA on the phone today (delivery delayed 1 day due to cosmetic issue with front bumper), who told us that my VIN rolled off the factory less than 2 weeks ago, just arrived in Georgia, is a 2021 model, and *should* have the laminated windows, but she didn't sound overly confident...

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    Any new features/additions added since 620xx VIN that I should keep in mind or would incentivize me to reject this in favor of a newer one?

    Got My 2021 VIN!

    Hello all, new Tesla owner inbound here. Ordered last Wednesday 10/28 just before the FSD price hike. Got assigned VIN 620xx today and got a call for a delivery appointment tomorrow afternoon! Really surprised at the quick turnaround as we were told ~8 weeks last week.
