The ship will not have a reentry burn - it will aerobrake.

I was totally wrong. You can always withdraw your contributions at any time. You don't have to wait 5 years (if it's just regular contributions Right. The number of shares is irrelevant. What matters is the dollars contributed. If you put in $2,000 and bought 20 shares that have gained...

But, you can withdraw any and all contributions to your Roth as long as the Roth has been open for 5 years. So, you can't take out any gains without penalty, but any money that you put in can be taken out tax (you put it in after tax) and penalty free.

Also, check out the 401k rule of 55, which allows you to take money from a 401k penalty free if you leave your job at age 55 or later: The Rule of 55

It looks like it's open? I don't have my Tesla any more, so I can't check the status, but on Tesla's Findus page, it shows as open.

Thanks! I now have a few new places to check out on my way to S.A.

Ok, I'll bite. What's worth seeing in Hamilton? We drive through there frequently as it's between Arlington and San Antonio, but have never stopped for more than gas and a Blizzard.

I stopped by today to check things out. There are two meters in place, but there are no lights on the bollards. There are also no number tags on them. It looks like they just need to be activated by Tesla.

Yes, all of the northern and western half of 1604 is 2 lanes (or more) each way, divided highway. I don't get around the south or east sides, so I don't know about them.

That's what the Arlington, TX site looked like the day that it was activated.

Thanks for the pictures! It looks like it is 3 sets of 4 pre-fab units, which matches the 12 unit description. This should be up in no time (depending upon the transformer, of course).

The last time I charged there (December, 2021) it was $0.28 per kWh.

The meter is working. The chargers probably aren't yet.

Don't forget that if you're doing a rule 72(t) SEPP, the "RMD" method is not a minimum, but an exact number. The IRS updated the mortality table for this year and reduced the amount that will be withdrawn (as compared to last year's table). I'll be 53 this year so my dictated withdrawal rate...

The problem I'm finding is that very few of my family's doctors are included in any plan and they're mostly HMOs. I'm looking right now because my COBRA runs out at the end of this year.

This is awesome! I've been hoping for chargers on 281 to avoid the traffic on I-35 (especially Austin) when driving San Antonio to/from DFW. Another one in Lampasas would compliment this one perfectly.

I have not had a full year under this plan, so I can't speak about filing taxes, but setup was really easy. I contacted Fidelity, where my IRA is located, they pointed me to a form on their website (or they could have emailed it to me), which I had to print, fill out, sign, and mail in. They...

Yes, they use actuarial tables to assume how long you (and your spouse, if you choose) will live and the current interest rates to determine your withdrawal amount. For me, using single life and the fixed amortization method resulted in the highest possible amount that I could withdraw per...

There's no penalty if the account is depleted, but you'd have to be really bad at investments to do that - the amount that is set for your withdrawals is not enough to drain an account even if your account loses some value over the life of the SEPP. I started my SEPP in the middle of this year...

Yeah, I stopped there this weekend and was also charged for using the 250kW chargers.

Possibly? I would imagine it requires less trenching and pipe laying, but not by much. I'm guessing it just saves construction time.

It looks like another prefab installation. Awesome!

I live in Arlington, TX. When I bought my Model Y in September, I was told by Tesla that I had to completely pay for the car before it could enter the state.

If you have a house, then it's not a problem. It's a different process for charging an electric car and a new mindset. Even if you don't have a charger installed, you can charge at normal household 110V and gain 50+ miles overnight. If your commute (or average daily errands) is shorter than...

Awesome! Thank you so much! I'm glad there are people in the world that are much smarter than me.

I'll pick $1313.13 because I have schadenfreude for people with triskaidekaphobia. 😁

Uh Oh! It looks like the TMC update has broken your code. It doesn't have any dates after March 6.

We've been having rolling blackouts across the area due to the winter storm. That's probably why. And, when I say rolling blackouts I mean that the power at my house has been out for 11 and 12 hours at a time.

Thanks! Never heard of Capulin before and have now added it to my (very long) bucket list. :-)

The new ones are the furthest from the freeway.

I spoke to a financial advisor last month and he recommended looking at your checking and savings account statements. They don't lie. You have your total expenses right there. There might be expenses that are deducted from your paycheck (e.g. medical insurance) that you'll have to add in to...

You're awesome! Thank you.

EDIT: Technical difficulties, no live show. Tesla Daily going live in a few minutes:

:( I've really enjoyed having it available. I hope it returns soon. Either way, thank you for your efforts to bring make this available to us.

I love these roundups - they save me so much time and ensure that I don't miss anything. Can you make it so that we can select multiple categories? For example, your previous posts had liked and loved combined. Thank you for creating these!

I was there on Friday, November 13, and the existing chargers were only outputting about 50kW for all of the 4-5 cars that were there, so the new chargers will be really welcome.

Here's a good source: Stock Option Max Pain

Ah! Yes, I didn't notice the start time was 36 hours prior. Cool! That covers it then. Thanks!

I'm loving these - I can see the most important posts without having the time to read all 20-100 pages for the day. I have a suggestion, though. I can't seem to phrase this right but, should there be more of a time delay from the posts to the lists? The posts that are made just before your...

I finally got my very own Tesla. I upgraded from my nearly 6 year old LEAF and got my Model Y today! No problems, perfect condition. I'm loving it.

I don't understand the logic. I'd rather pay taxes on $200k gain, than only gain $50k (and pay taxes on that). What am I missing?

Maybe, but they'll slow down for Spiders! Highway project stopped by spider will cost three times more to finish

Is that the controls for the sprinklers?

Nobody knows until it happens. I think that 6 of the last 8 quarters it has come out before market hours on the 2nd of the month. So, maybe tomorrow morning. Maybe not.

I think we just have to tag @BlueShift

Regarding the handicap accessible spaces...I believe (and I might be wrong) that Texas has pretty strict rules on what is officially counted as a handicap space. The space must have a sign AND clear markings on the ground. If it does not have both, then tickets can't be issued. But, as I...

I'd heard that they were only needed when the electricity from the grid isn't "clean." They're used to clean up the spikes and valleys that shouldn't be there.
