@tesla_na 3rd Tesla with FSD - Still changes lanes at the wrong time causing problems with catching my exits - due to deafness, unable to provide voice disengagement feedback on the screen. Was hoping 12.3 would fix... nope! Drives smoother now tho!

@elonmusk @Tesla How about making our Performance trim Teslas more fun?
1. Line lock mode for burn outs
2. Rear brakes only mode for e-brake type turns
3. Let us switch into and out of drift mode on the fly

@dannygong @wholemars @SawyerMerritt @ValueAnalyst1 I hope that’s really true. My MYP was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday the 26th (I started the transfer process Sept 11) but Tesla now says it will be delivered mid Oct. Will cancel if FSD transfer denied.

Tesla’s direct sales model experience was a total disappointment this morning. Went in this AM w the wifey to buy a Model 3 and possibly a Plaid. Left empty handed and disgusted with @Tesla. @elonmusk Back to the nasty but expected dealership experience.

@MusingsEv @tillathenun Not sure if you're referring to a screen on the public charger but our i3s (plural) doesn't keep it's lights or screens on while charging and doesn't lock the plug while charging if I don't lock the car. I'd be pissed if somebody unplugged my car while it was charging.

Goods & services are the real economy, any form of money is simply the accounting thereof

Allright, who's the @McDonalds genius that decided that shutting down all the ordering kiosks and forcing customers to stand in a line and interact w a live cashier was a step forward in minimizing COVID exposure? Hate this.

Playing with the first Albatross foil on Oahu (other than the one that nathanvanvuuren used to win 2nd in the last M2O race) from #signaturefoils - impressed with the light weight, glide,… https://t.co/hPQOks1Sme

This is why every foil surfer needs a kite-bro! Imagine paddling a tiny 5 foot board over long distances to access outer reef breaks, open-ocean swells or back to a distant shore. Thanks… https://t.co/bFShJtI6Lr

In our school garden there's a jumbo sized Anolis Sagrei (brown anole lizard) that has a vicariois appetite and is absoutely fearless. I think if he was any bigger, or our students… https://t.co/B5Kto38nqn

@kaleistern Relaxing honeymoon? Crazed bus driver with blown shocks weaving through tight traffic on bumpy roads... Relaxing?

[Paul McDonnell @MrmcdoPaul]

@kaleistern @GoogleForEdu Way to go!!

@kaleistern Dryer went on the fritz. Wife to the rescue! Kalei took apart the dryer, found a burnt out connection on the motherboard, soldered in a new connection and presto! It works again! #womenintech #wifelife

@FHBHawaii The matter was resolved today at lunch time with the help of a FHB executive and I've been assured that this was a fluke, and will not happen again. Thank you FHB.

[Paul McDonnell @MrmcdoPaul]

@FHBHawaii Feeling discriminated today due to my deafness by a FHB employee who refused service because she doesn't know sign language and said I needed to have an interpreter with me to receive services. Never been a problem before. #FirstHawaiianBank #FHB #deaf #Discrimination

[Paul McDonnell @MrmcdoPaul]

@FHBHawaii Still waiting patiently for this to actually be resolved...
