  1. Finally got a build date for my Mach E! Coming to a course near you in November. Though I’m debating immediately selling it. Between the $7500 credit, a $2500 ford options rebate, and them honoring the 2022 price I’m getting it for $17k under MSRP. If I can flip it for close to that I can upgrade to a Model Y and save some money in the process.
  2. Yes, but I’m not sure if that will change if it moves to a 2023.
  3. I’m nervous to see how much the Mach E goes up by. My 2022 order is being rolled into 2023.
  4. Haggling is part of the fun! I do enjoy the Tesla model where you don’t even have to deal with a dealer. Just order online and have it show up at your house (months later).
  5. What’s crazy is that Teslas have barely depreciated. They’re retaining value surprisingly well. My brother in law has one and it’s worth 3k more than he paid for it three plus years ago. Granted, prices are crazy right now.
  6. They’re definitely getting a different vibe going with the newer Ioniqs. I imagine people will be very polarized on these. I like them!
  7. I can confirm clubs will definitely fit in the back. Brought mine to the dealership to test it out.
  8. Debating a trip to Cincy…if only SoCal were closer!
  9. What an opportunity! I decided to go with the Forged Tec X. I have not played game improvement heads in awhile, and I’ve been frustrated with my irons of late. I am hoping the forgiveness helps me gain some confidence in my iron play and get my handicap under 10. I currently play Srixon ZX5/ZX7 combo set, and when my swing is right they’re really good. Consistency has been elusive, however. My name is Jordan and I live in Newbury Park, CA. My handicap is an 11.6, and I’d love to share my experiences with the forum!
  10. Oh, I’m sure they do. I just haven’t seen it personally. I also only know two people playing the TR.
  11. I know a guy who snapped two Ventus black. Haven’t heard of the TR snapping.
  12. I’ve always wanted to try curling. It seems like a ton of fun, and is likely way harder than people think.
  13. How are you going to handle a month without them?! Kudos to you for being able to do that man. Idk if I’d make it.
  14. I once got a lesson from a guy that played on tour who said if you hit balls or play once a month or so, you won’t get markedly better. You need to commit to practicing intently on all aspects of the game to improve. Pay attention to weaknesses and work on making them strengths. I play with a guy who is a club champ, and if you watched him swing you’d have no idea how he shoots low. His biggest advice is to learn how to manage the game within what you can do. Par is a great score, and bogeys aren’t bad. Doubles are killer. Getting out of position is based on a desire for birdie that you just aren’t getting, or trying to save par when that ship has sailed (we were talking about high school golfers who can keep the ball from slicing like a banana). I find I’ve gotten down to an 11, then stagnate because I don’t keep practicing during the offseason. I’ll climb back up to 13, then get down to 10 or so by the end of season. Dedicated practice will be the only thing that gets you to the finish line.
  15. This is such an awesome story of getting into golf. I’m not sure anyone will top this. Priceless.
  16. Late to the game here, but I’ll throw my two cents in. I came for the testing opportunities, like many. They’ve been lackluster of late, and as I scroll through the latest threads looking for where I might add a post I find myself not coming across anything of interest to me. I like contributing to threads where people are asking or sharing advice on the game or on equipment. Frankly, anything else is not something I’ll end up on a golf forum for. I do enjoy the community aspect. @xOldBenKenobiXis just a wonderful human. Perhaps something that can improve the forum is boosting that aspect. I liked the stuff that was started with the GRINT, and would love to become friends with more people on that app. Perhaps some just for fun formats that involve people across the country teaming up to play some golf and talk some smack? It’d lead to discussion about rounds/shots/equipment I think we’ve gotten away from. Because this is a relatively small community a lot of us have already helped one another learn a lot and without a new stimulus injected the conversation just becomes a bit flat and redundant. Without new opportunities for testing, and enough to both feed the forum faithful and the newbies, it will be tough to grow the membership to allow a crop of new golfers to benefit from the forum experience and reignite old discussions. Sorry if this comes off as a bit pessimistic, I’ve found myself logging in daily and just not getting excited about a lot of the threads. Which stinks. I miss finding reasons to talk smack with the likes of @GolfSpy_BOS, beyond his fantasy golf standings looking eerily similar to that of the Red Sox…. And to hear more club ho stories from @dlow206
  17. Crazy how this ended up. I was so stoked to do this review. Really turned out to be a bust.
  18. Picks are in! Went with a very hodge podge group. Here’s to hoping they come up clutch for me!
  19. The Mach E has “unbridled” mode, which gives the sound of a Mustang GT.
  20. What @yungkory said. You can have them turn on to cool themselves off. It’s the loudest I’ve ever heard a Tesla. While driving you can also set how loud you want the car to be. They used to be silent but recently that was made illegal so now they have various levels of noise determined by the driver.
  21. While off? They turn themselves on to keep the car cool.
