  1. The Free Supercharging is actually an RPO code (SF1) so thankfully that stuck. The P.O. (who was big in the GM 3800 scene as Bucky realized yesterday:lol:) is a huge tech nut who said that YES, if an owner sells/trades their car back to Tesla, some features are disabled. I sat in his driveway in Chicago before I drove it home, FaceTimed my wife and we were able to transfer the Model S over to my wife through Tesla.

    Took the 19” snow tires off and installed lowering links with the 21”s. This is a turrible pic late yesterday but it looks siiiiiick in person.

     

    “Ludicrous” and “Ludicrous+” are available, but honestly haven’t done anything hard except for some rolling launches and highway pulls.

  2. I heard about this on one of my daily emails and thought "There's GM, rushing to market with a half-baked product." after seeing how impressive the F-150 Lightning was. Man, this actually looks great with the Avalanche midgate option too.

     

    Just skimmed through this article, and as much as I crap on post-gubmint-bailout gm this is an impressive vehicle. Didn't even think of the platform-sharing with the new Hummer EV. This thing will be a hit. Front end is still hideous as always.

    Chevy or Ford, the consumer wins with these new EV trucks. Will be intadesting to see if the products live up to the hype and the numbers the OEMs put up.

  3. I know COBRA (central Ohio biking) is trying to do more stuff at the new Quarry Trails.

     

    A close contact at Thrive Cos is developing the R/E next to Quarry Trails, told me it’s the only MetroParks that will be open 24/7, and I have a feeling overnight campsites may be in the future. With their bike trails may be a perfect close-to-Columbus option?

  4. That's no joke. If it were just the code and city I wouldn't be so concerned. My experience with permits and inspections has been really good. But so far these committees and commissions seems much closer to HOAs than I care to admit. Finally while I get the appeal of country living, especially in this situation, I'll still take these hurdles and limits since it means I can walk to bars and restaurants. Additionally I think/hope the city codes will catch up to the reality of Columbus becoming and needing to be more dense, reflect the need for increase flexibility us use of space for things like ADUs soon.

     

    Agreed 100%. It wasn't long ago that you nearly couldn't put a solar-panel system on your roof in UA. Code needs to change for myriad reasons.

  5. This is certainly a rabbit hole but a ton of great info from your research and thoughts, Jesse. Best of luck with the project as someone like Craig will have much better insight than I do.

     

    It does suck for hobbyists/car guys that these restrictions exist. I've dealt with UA Code this year and you realize that "neighborhood aesthetic" can be a nebulous term that kills a lot of big ideas in the suburbs. No wonder people move out to the country where they have a ton more options for building out space for toys and hobbies.

  6. If the garage is built into a house remodel (as opposed to a freestanding building) can you get more flexible on the size? UA has restrictions on standalone buildings but a lot of people breezeway a garage to their house and the flexibility increases dramatically.

     

    Edit: I see your comments above but the one thing about paying too dollar for garage/storage space is it will never be enough, and if much of the infrastructure cost is already built you should stretch for the absolute most room you can afford.
