For anyone who has this problem since the latest ota update: I took it to my nearest service center today, they did some kind of software (or firmware) update and tell me the problem should be resolved.

Told me the charge was $380, but since it’s a known issue they will request a good-will waiving of the charge and sent me home without asking for payment.

I called last week and they did it today while I waited which was very nice. Good experience.

Wife just retired and I’m retiring in a year. We have pensions that will cover most of our retirement living and lifestyle expenses but we will need to draw about $25k each year for the first 12 years at which point I will take ss at 70 and we won’t need the ira until/if we need ltc at some point.

We have $600k in a 401k that we are rolling into an ira. How would you allocate this given that it’s a bridge?

We’re thinking 70/30 with the stocks in a total global market mix but maybe more heavily weighted to the u s market. It’s a fidelity ira we just opened if that matters.

We also have some money in a hysa and an open heloc we don’t plan to touch but opened after draining our non-retirement savings a few years ago.

I posted about this a couple weeks ago after the first time it happened. It’s happened two more times now and I think the common denominator is that I unplugged the vehicle before it stopped charging on its own.

I’ve done this many times in the year I’ve owned my 2022 P2; but for some reason now it’s causing an error. I got home from work and plugged it in, then unplugged it at 65% and drove somewhere for dinner. I was in the place for over an hour. When I came out it wouldn’t move because of this error message.

It took 20 minutes to get it to work today. It worked after I tried locking and unlocking the doors from the drivers seat. I’d already tried rebooting the screen, shutting down the car, locking it and walking away for 10 minutes. Nothing worked. The door locking trick might have just been when the error timed out or something.

Anybody have any ideas?

Ok zoomer.

This is an open response to some of the arguments I’ve seen saying boomers had it easy.

The longest bull run in history? You mean the one we’re in right now? When boomers are 60-80 years old and missed it and instead got the lost decade of 2000-2013 as they were trying to retire? That bull run?

Or are you talking about the 1970’s when stagflation had annual inflation of 7% then as a cherry on top, 13% in 1980, and 20% interest rates on their 900sq foot homes with no ac and shag carpeting and linoleum and Formica galore? Are those the crazy cheap houses you’re talking about?

Oh wait, maybe you’re talking about how lucky boomers were to get a free vacation to Vietnam?

High pay?? Go look that up. It’s significantly higher now, adjusted for inflation. Another piece of bs the whiniest generation of all time keeps repeating.

Pensions? You mean the pensions that went away without giving them time to pivot to retirement accounts?

Did you mention cars? Lemme guess, you think cars were way cheaper back then? Cars that were rolling death traps and rusted out at 7 years old and almost never made it to 100k miles? Those cars?

You forgot to mention the Americans with disabilities act that seems to benefit about 40% of young people today. That was in its infancy for boomers and they didn’t really benefit from it, nor did they want to.

Go buy another 65” tv for the cost of a 13” tv from the 80’s.

Purely hypothetical question. Not asking if we can retire.

If you were retiring at 60 and you could trade a $100k pension with no colas ever for a dollar amount, what would that dollar amount need to be?

Wife and I each have pensions—$59k for one of us and $44k for the other. We have other retirement funds. We know the pensions will lose about half their value over 25 years. Wife just retired and I’m retiring next year. I’m just curious what people think.

I’ve got a 2022 LRDM with Pilot and Plus. Car was made in fall of 2021. I’m in NH, USA, and I got the 5.0.10 update about 3 weeks ago.

I’ve read the posts about people who got Gemini and I’ve tried everything they said they did to get it but it’s not showing up in my car.

I’m wondering if I’ve missed something or it’s just not available yet for some or many owners.

Wife just retired and I’m retiring next year. We have pensions and a 401k. The 401k only needs to be a bridge to pay for healthcare in early retirement when we will have to pay full price until Medicare kicks in. After that we won’t need it unless one or both of us need expensive LTC late in life.

There isn’t really a scenario where the 401k runs dry, but obviously we’d like to maximize its long term potential.

To that end, I’m wondering what people think of using a heloc to mitigate sequence of returns risk?

Our thinking is that if the market collapses during the period where we need to make our biggest withdrawals, it might be better to use a heloc so we don’t have to pull when the market is down. That way we can keep the 401k in a more aggressive allocation.

We could move money to a bond bucket and pull from that if the market collapses, but then we would lose out on gains if it doesn’t collapse.

And if the market stays decent or flat or goes down less than 20% we just never touch the heloc.

I feel like I didn’t explain that very well. TL,DR: we have a heloc set up so we can keep our 401k more aggressive. Thoughts?

Pencils are the goat fidget toy. You can twirl them, tap them, doodle with them, balance them, bite them, stick them behind your ear, break them, sharpen them, get them for free, and on and on.

I think the Ticonderoga #2 wooden pencil is the apex pencil for fidgeting, but I’m open to other opinions on that.

I’ve got a 2020 LX3310 that’s been losing power under load, but only when the tractor is fully warmed up, for about a year now. Tractor works perfectly for 20-30 minutes then starts bogging down under even light strain.

I tried cleaning and/or changing every part of the air and fuel system and the dealer replaced the fuel lines a few weeks ago with no improvement. I even tried working it with the fuel cap loosened.

Im thinking it might be a bad lift pump. I checked the voltage going to it and that’s good.

Anybody have experience with this? Thoughts? The little fuel pump is $200 somehow.
