Recently been eyeing the MY Premium given promotional 0.99 APR. But I’m someone who likes new tech and is very likely want to change the car after 3 years, I gave chatGPT the numbers from Tesla website and these were the ownership cost comparison. Most people would suggest leasing a vehicle if only keeping 3 years, but from the financial perspective, doesn’t finance for 6 years and selling at 3 year mark could save some money? Or did chatGPT over-simplified/idealized some scenarios such as resell value?

Hi all, I started noticing black particles coming out of my third floor guest bathroom’s bathtub faucet only (also if I left that bathtub unused, the initial water comes out are bit brownish). I researched on Google and Reddit, most thread said it’s related to SharkBite pipe rubber deteriorating on water heater? But I don’t have the SharkBite set up on my water heater (shown in p3)

I also recently tried to flush/descale my water heater and nothing came out of the water heater, water was pretty clean. However, when I twist off the filter that’s above the water heater inlet (p2), it was filled with this black particles (p1), also a tiny piece (size of 1/3 pinky finger nail for scale) of what seems to be black plastic came out (forgot to snap a photo of), not sure if it’s build ups or something broke in the pipe (don’t have leakage anywhere)

I had a plumber came out and they suggested changing water heater entirely or add whole house water filter. Given the setup of the water system in P3, any expert suggestions on where else the issue could be causing from? Also called another plumber to come later this week for 2nd opinion.
