Had my 3 month test. Doctor sent me to specialist for Average Estimated Glucose was over 300 and I told him it was likely due to diet was on.
Was that a fasting test? If so, then, it appears you have Type II. Has there been any recommendations for diet/exercise and/or medication like metformin or an SGLT inhibitor like Jardiance?

…but the DC fast charging network sucks so far.
That may no longer be an issue as Tesla opening their superchargers to other EVs: https://apple.news/A9FyYHrOHT1S_1Z9IyEEA6Q

I don't understand the electric fascination with current battery technology limitations, which are pretty severe.
Another link (posted today) regarding better, less expensive battery technology.

Tesla build quality, fit and finish, and overall quality of materials is junky and pedestrian.
Most car guys I know, like myself, do not like them primarily for that reason.
At that price point, you can get much nicer things from other manufacturers.
It's also worth noting that the current electric fad is not the path forward, long term. That will be hydrogen power.I don't understand the electric fascination with current battery technology limitations, which are pretty severe.
Do you mean better materials from other companies producing EVs?
i purchased a Tesla because I could afford it and there is no scheduled maintenance save brakes/tires. And less maintenance on brakes due due to regenerative braking. It’s also fun and can crush any muscle car off a stoplight.Hydrogen fuel is a great idea but I cannot wait 10 years to purchase a vehicle. Nikola is having a heck of a time producing their vehicle.
Current battery technology is being quickly updated and Tesla is purchasing those patents and/or already collaborating with those organizations.

Adding another link to a recent tweet that Musk sent about opening up their supercharger network to other EVs.
If you are shopping around for an EV, now you are able to access a supercharger when on long drives. Just make sure the EV’s battery has the capability of supercharging. No one wants to wait for hrs to charge their battery when on a long trip.
My perspective for Tesla supercharging is the cost is about 2/3 the expense for gas for the same # of miles.https://apple.news/Am-9ClVCkRuu7XJKJNhNqGQ

Few friends have them. They all say buy a model X or S don't waste your time or money on the others. There's some really stupid things that go wrong or are made wrong on the cheaper models. The one the body panels didn't fit right so it looked like it was in an accident fresh off the showroom floor. Repairs take fooooorrrrrreeeeevvvvvvveeeeeerrrr
That looks really nice
I disagree a bit with this perspective. For Tesla, it seems their initial vehicle rollout may have QA issues(minor panel alignment, paint consistency, etc.). I waited about 6 months until they had corrected this before I ordered. When my Y was delivered at the dealer, I reviewed it with a checklist from a Tesla forum and there were only 2 very minor issues which the dealer tech immediately fixed.

I believe it is the other way around. There is a Tesla dealer/service center in Henrietta but none in Buffalo.

Here’s a pic of my Y. Painted the rims to match the matte black on rest of car. Upgraded the calipers. Photo after PPF and ceramic coating were applied.

The range is based on going 65 mph and not turning on the heater or AC. So IOW, ymmv.The outside temp certainly has an impact on mileage range. The colder the outside temp, the more range is decreased. The EPA range was calculated in optimal conditions (flat surface, ~75 degrees so thst neither AC or heater is on) just like other cars.

Quick question. Did you choose to stop twice? I'm asking because they get roughly 300 miles per charge and I'm trying to understand if that's a BS stat or not
That was what I chose based on route planner (ABRP or Tesla) app. I would say it’s more interactive in determining stops. There are 1k superchargers across the US. I try to plan my stops after 3-4 hrs of driving. The Y long distance I have has 320 mile range. But you do not drive it down to 0 just like you do not drive an ICE until gas is empty. I usually have 40-80 miles left in battery when I stop.

I picked up a Y last year. Most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Comfortable, fun driving, nice looking. I live in Central VA and just drove it the 2nd time up to Buf. 2 supercharger stops, 1 in Gettysburg and the other near Corning. Superchargers have been strategically located near retail establishments such as Sheetz, Panera, Dunkin Donuts, etc. Pull in & plug in and go to the restroom, get a drink or snack & stretch my legs. 20-25 mins later I take off. Stops are usually after 3.5-4 hrs of driving which works out well for me for breaks.
Fortunately, they are free L2 chargers within walking distance of my house so I am not paying anything for charging unless I am on long trips and supercharging.Imo, the Y would be small for 7 seats. You may want to consider the X. I believe an update later this year for that model.
Feel free to ask more questions or IM. Some slick things: Sentry mode for security scanning by Tesla car cameras when parked, Pet/Child mode to keep interior comfortable when you are away briefly, over the air updates to fix or improve the car.-

Nice! Hope you enjoyed it!
I have a question about the pronunciation of LeRoy…actually Le Roy.
Do you find most people pronounce it lee-roy with emphasis on first syllable or use a French pronunciation of the name with a short e and emphasis on the second syllable?

Teams are not eligible to be on Hard Knocks if they have been in the playoffs the previous two seasons.
Eligibility rules:
Franchises are not required to be included as potential "Hard Knocks" participants if they
1.) have a first-year head coach, 2.) have made the playoffs in the last two seasons, or 3.) have appeared on the show in the past 10 years. Teams are, however, also allowed to volunteer for inclusion.
I suspect Jerry, being Jerry, always volunteers the Cowboys. Makes me appreciate Bills ownership even more.

Most sporting events have barriers to keep the crowds out of the playing field.
Fairly simple to keep spectators away at a stadium or arena. What other sporting event is 2,000+ miles long?

I saw it. The pedestrian was an idiot. The pedestrian was also……a pedestrian. These lunatic cyclists are NEVER at fault. Driving along winding roads with blind corners and getting hit by a car……car’s fault……same situation hitting a pedestrian…..pedestrian’s fault…
What would have happened if some woodchuck wandered into the road and 257 morons collided because of it? Let me guess…..woodchuck’s fault.
The Tour de France is going to sue the spectator that caused this to discourage other spectators from the same. Very selfish behavior by that spectator…all about getting exposure on tv without considering ramifications.

So I finally got some time last night and watched Tenet on HBO Max. Now, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent guy...but WTF did I just watch? Cool "set piece" action scenes, but seriously if you put a gun to my head and asked me what that movie was about, well I've had a good life. Nolan was being too clever for his own good.
Ditto…may try shrooms the next time I watch it…perhaps I need a wider brain to understand it.
This guy from GQ tried to explain it but my head hurt just reading it.

I wonder how many season ticket holders never go to a game, but only get seasons so they can sell individual games and make a profit.
I have four season tix & there are easier ways to mske a buck. About half the games will be in cold weather or against a team that is not high demand.

I do not understand this at all. This makes absolutely no sense. I am interested in any reputable clinical studies supporting this. Extremely high blood sugars over a significant range of time will lead to weight loss but there are far more healthier ways to accomplish this.
If metformin is resulting in side effects, perhaps you can discuss using an SGLT2 inhibitor like Jardiance with your doctor.
The link below summarizes various clinical study results pertaining to Jardiance such as promoting weight loss and offering renal and cardiac protection. I have no association with Lilly who manufactures Jardiance.
