I'd just pay the $50. I spend it on way stupider things...

Looking in the rear view is still startling. Luckily the cargo area and back of folding seats are carpet.

Im not keen on doing a nearly $500 experiment, so I soldered in a jumper wire to close the circuit and put it back in the washer. During the test, as soon as the relay clicked to send power to the motor a pretty blue flash illuminated the under side of the washer and was accompanied by a fairly loud pop. Lol

As it turns out, both boards needed to be replaced to fix the washer, total cost? $860 to repair a 6 year old washer that cost $600 new. Really?!?!

What brand is it? Those slave master combos are tricky to repair without fucking both up. An unbalance in either will affect both (yay circuits!)

Been running Miele at home. Current washer unit is 19 years old. Put another $800 into it over the past 2 years. Cost a pretty penny, but man does it run. Freaking has a diagnostic function like a car. Shits cray

Needed a decent amount of tile for a front desk at one of the hotels. Home Depot dropped the ball, so I ended up sourcing it from some other place in Chicago. They wanted to charge me for delivery, with an ETA of 2 days or something.

Showed up with the Tesla. Folded the rear and used the frunk. Guy loading the stuff was so confused.

Tiles are heavy. When I bought mine from Home Depot, I had to drive back a few times because it was too much weight for my poor car.

Had about 15 cases or so. Tesla handled it like a champ. Definitely affected the range, but besides that was fine.

shockin330i · 10-24-2016, 06:33 PM

Are Tesla's common up there? I've maybe seen one down here.

In Chicago, yes. Pretty much see them everywhere. Seeing more of them in my area of Brooklyn. Chargers aren't as easy to come by.

I can honestly say I've seen one and that was in Austin( which is 5 hours north of me)

GE. Figured out it cost me $1.44 per load of clothes to own the one that just crapped out.

New one is in, noting but a thang. The guys at the shop loading it up asked if I had help to unload and get it in the house. Pifft, I ain't need no help.

They haven't given us problems in the past, but sticking with supply houses for things like this. Had workers coming in 2 days to redo front desk. HD calls and tells me they can't deliver until next week, even though I was told it would be there.

Interesting to put $800 into a 19 year old machine. I always enjoy seeing at what point do people just want new.

Assuming a new one is $4k-5k, I would have probably purchased a new one before putting $800 into the old one.
