    May not be the right thread to ask, but wife wants a model S. I told her she married the wrong guy if she expects a new one, so we’re looking at ones just a couple of years old.

    I know nothing about electric car ownership other than it doesn’t need gas. I’m assuming stuff will break will break along the way. What does it cost to maintain? Does it need regular maintenance, and how much will that cost?

    I’m only a 3-month Y owner so take this with a grain of salt.  No regular maintenance costs like oil changes, just tire rotation and replacement.  I’d strongly suggest getting a warranty though if you buy used, they are expensive to fix and you usually have to get it done at Tesla service center so difficult to price shop service.

     

  2. So I picked up my Y today.  Amazing vehicle as you can imagine.  Biggest negative so far is probably the blind spots and small back window.  I’m used to a bigger SUV so it will take some getting used to.  But I do love the regenerative braking.

    Now it will mainly spend time in my garage as I work from home for the forseeable future.

    My thoughts. 

    Tony deserved to win in the new over idol'd world of Survivor. I am glad he won but overall I was really disappointed in the season I was expecting a hell of lot more out of all the former winners being there. Instead they just let Tony run around and find 12 idols and plot who to take out with Sarah. 

    Except Tony only found 1 idol and it wasn't until Day 26.  And you ignored his 4 immunity wins at important times.

  4. I’ve had an order in for a Y since the fall.  Very much hoping they get back to producing them but I’ve waited this long a f can wait longer.

    The early reports have of those who got theirs before shutdown have been positive, but some have reported slight build issues with gaps in the frame.  That needs to be fixed, no excuse for that on a $50k+ vehicle.

    Yeah not sure how you can say nobody will go if places are open. Places like Home Depot and Lowe's have been absolutely packed this entire time. Plenty are itching to get out and socialize. I mean a huge percentage of the population doesn't even think anything should be shut down at all.

    Huge percentage?  No.  Vocal minority?  Yes.

    I always wonder if the producers tip off contestants as to where the idol is. They always seem to find it, and this time Tony finds one at night on some huge island? Hokay

    Not this crap again.  They don’t tip them off.  They show them looking for 30-45 seconds before finding it, when sometimes it takes them hours if not days of looking.

    I’ve sold every long position and gone short everything in my cash play  accounts.   This market scares me.  
     

    All my retirement/ serious accounts have stayed in cash since Feb 24.  I am not getting those back in until I feel good about a bottom.

     

     My kids 529 plans sure look like shit.  Oops

    The broader markets are back to March 2019 levels.  Did you feel their 529 plans looked like shit then?  Or did you fund them exclusively in early 2020?

    No I've watched most of the seasons.  Sandra causes chaos, there is 0 upside to letting her stay around to work her magic.

    And I agree and she will probably be gone soon.  She isn't even playing most of the challenges.  Just because Yul said he wants to keep her around since she caught a shark doesn't mean she won't go soon.  No one wants her to get to the merge.

    I think this game is rigged at least in that they're making sure certain players stay around for awhile.  How else are Sandra and Rob running things already?  Why did Rob and Pavarti kneecap themselves by voting out Dani when they didn't have the numbers to overcome it?

    Good lord, is this post serious?  This may not be the show for you if you think it's rigged.  Or maybe it is the first season you've watched (I'm guessing it's not though). 

    If you are someone like Jeremy who is considered one of the best winners ever, why get rid of someone like Rob who is a big meat shield?  There is plenty of time for that.  You weaken him by voting out a well-liked ally.  And Sandra might think she's running things but she's not, and her tribe has only been to tribal once.

    I'm baffled that Rob didn't get any votes.  I'm #teamrob but thought he'd be out very soon.  Two tribal councils attended and zero votes (I think).  Guessing we see some sort of mixup in the next couple weeks and that will be interesting.

    No good reason to vote out a big target who is (usually) good at challenges this early.

    I really liked having the Good Times song sang live and with the choir. I don’t know which episode I would have proposed to be used instead (other than having it be a Christmas episode) but I thought their choice of Good Times episode was an odd/random one.

     

     

     

     

    Yes, the AITF episode is an all-time classic I’ve seen several times.  The GT episode was random.

  12. Last season’s winner confirmed what I’ve believed for years.  That the producers have little or no major role in who wins or even who goes far.  No one wanted someone who was in the game for a total of 5-7 days to win the game.  Conspiracy theories continue to be silly.
