Ok I have to ask - how old are we talking here?

slightly younger than Bono

slightly younger than Bono

Ha! So he’s 60 and I just turned 58 but I don’t feel old at all, you need to up your game! Bet we have people in their 70s and 80s on here.

 

[shinytop]

72 here with an X

 

[Rcmpnc]

Heh, 50 here with MY on order. I’ll go grab my juice box

I think a good test of generation is to ask if they ever used a slide rule in high school.

 

[hcdavis3]

70 here. Smarter than my kids.

 

[CyberShy]

My dad is 83 and he would not understand anything about EVs or Teslas. He hates change.

71 with a MX, and still have the slide rule that got me through college!

 

[Puma2020]

What's a slide rule? Actually, when I got into college, I went with the TI-58 calculator. It had a whopping 100 programmable steps!
While home from college, showed it to my dad (who had always used a slide rule up to that point). Actually taught my dad how to program it in about 5 minutes. Kept him busy for hours!

64 and might be 65+ or more before they have QC under control enough for me to pop on a Y.

 

[TechnoMage]

63 for me. Picked up my Y on tuesday. No issues to fix other than the rear hatch not always applying enough force to latch nwill get around to scheduling a mobile service one of these days.

 

[MY2Ski]

63, got a good slide rule for my HS graduation

 

[HeyEph]

I am 56, but my dad got his M3 at 87.

I'm 77, had a dozen muscle cars, Vettes, Pantera, etc. This is a game changer. Giggle, new Mustang would not give up, I beat him 3 times. Last time I noticed he dropped off. Next I saw was cop on motorcycle, he pulled along side. Motioned for me to roll window down. He hollowed "slow down". I flashed a V at him and smiled. He drove off. I beat a 488 Ferrari , he finally caught me at 121 mph.
I just watched a video on my car, dang, it does alot I haven't tried. But, never buying gas, etc,, etc, is really cool at 161k miles.
I have a truck on order, when it arrives, I will give S to my grand daughter. That will be a fun day.

As an 'old guy' . . . at least chronologically (73) . . . I can't wait for the kids to tell me that it's time to give up my keys I'm holding out hope that FSD will be fully functional and drive me wherever I need to go

 

[hcdavis3]

I’m 69 and way more tech savvy than my kids who are in their 30s. Still come to Dad for tech advice, but they are pretty much up to date. “Dad can we have a ride in your new car” ?

When I started pharmacy school, the first scientific calculators were just coming to market. I paid $150 for a Kings Point scientific calculator in 1974.
I graduated to a TI-59 programmable by 1977. A godsend for pharmacokinetics (math modeling of drug disposition).

 

[mmanner]

68 now, hopefully will be 69 some day
[used slide rules my freshman and sophomore year, then calculators I could afford came along and I carried both for awhile]
