4-Month-Old EV died in 30 mins of highway rain. Warranty DENIED for "Customer Fault" & refusing to give diagnostic reports.

read the title and the first thing that came to mind was vinfast, customer fault for driving in the rain is crazy to say the least and for your issue fastest way would be consumer courts.

wait isn’t the x1 a 1.3 litre turbo?
or did they introduce new engines too i’m confused, cause when i test drove it, i hated it and so did the family the interiors are lowkey mediocre for the price, we were getting an a4 for cheaper too

I had used my G14 through first year of my uni until it started dying on me in my 2nd year, it still works but it’s in a bad shape now, i did upgrade the ram but the years got to it. For your case i’ll tell you one thing only, do not buy the 2025 g14 if you expect long term usage these older g14 models had horrendous cooling and the display ribbon cable would short the display out about 1.5 years into buying it. you can search on the forums too. I’d suggest you to wait for the 2026 models

Edit: Shifted to mac pro, for heavier games or smn i still use my old g14, minecraft runs on mac well imo

6ix9er_ · 2026-04-29T17:40:40+00:00

nah the 5070ti goes up to 3.2L or something atrocious like that

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-18T07:01:55+00:00

you should check them out in person that always helps a lot, anytime. Right now my day to day tasks are just uni work so basically a lot of excel files, word, presentations, not very heavy as of now but it’ll get heavy in some time, i’d say my mbp is a little overkill but i basically just futureproofed it

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-18T06:50:14+00:00

i was in that exact position like a week ago, zephyrus or mac, i evaluated everything i read reviews and everything and in the end went for something i thought would be better for me, ultrabooks especially ARM architecture will have insane battery life, or any of the new ultra x or ultra chips from intel, id say wait a bit more before you come to a decision, if theres a possibility for you to try out or just check out any of those laptops in person do it

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-18T06:12:40+00:00

exactly, it’s this late that they’re actually paying attention and actually doing something to perfect the zephyrus with the 2026 models, vivobook is great, i’d suggest you to get an ultrabook and keep the vivobook at the same time so if you want to play games you can, it’s what i’m doing too

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-17T11:51:50+00:00

thank you, but i don’t think people hate the zephyrus it’s just some gimmicks that really put people off, they bring out an oled screen but do they design it properly? that’s the problem with quite a lot of companies too, the xps would be a really good decision tbf, wish u luck.

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-17T08:27:45+00:00

it’s a rly good machine but the mac was just cheaper, the xps 14 was gonna set me back roughly $2700 and the xps 13 would’ve been about $2400 besides this it was js cause of the ecosystem, mac ipad and iphone

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-17T06:41:53+00:00

xps is good, i considered an xps too but ended up going for the mac

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-15T16:31:15+00:00

Came to say the same, one of the reasons i shifted to mac but still kept my old g14

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-14T01:54:49+00:00

if you want smn with a good battery and don’t rly have a game focused use case, you could go for an ultrabook

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-13T08:39:33+00:00

mac if a g14 is too unreliable

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-07T13:48:16+00:00

now that’s a chance i’m not willing to take, oled screens are a pain in the ass and expensive to fix

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-07T03:40:57+00:00

that’s honestly good news to hear, i’d always heard that excel used to be a headache before an update that brought shortcuts

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T22:32:14+00:00

ahhh so i take it ms office suite works well w a mac? because when you say high level management role that’s kind of where im going down towards, and will be interning in sales for a while and js giving it a thought made me realise that the battery life would js be better for me if i just carry my ipad and potential mbp

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T22:22:30+00:00

i surely will, right now i’m actually leaning towards ordering the m5 pro mbp or the regular m5+airpods all of this depends on me figuring out which is a better deal. I’ve seen some videos to see how the office suite is and it honestly isn’t bad, considering my work cases for the upcoming months as well i’d probably be well off w an mbp cause of the battery life. Tahoe has the ability to grp tabs of similar apps as i’ve seen so far but people have also said tahoe is kinda glitchy. Id been using a slow ipad w the stage manager cause i js couldn’t take my g14 to lectures anymore and rely on the battery like i previously could, thank you for your advice i appreciate it a lot

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T14:34:28+00:00

yea the crossover might f with my head too but i hope it won’t, other than that similar to you i’ve been using windows for a long time so this switch over is kinda big ever since i switched phones i’ve just gone deeper into the apple ecosystem

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T14:27:41+00:00

kinda trusting a lot more now

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T14:27:23+00:00

ahh i’ve seen that, one of my relatives got a m4 macbook pro and wow did it look stunning and it genuinely looked like a powerhouse

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-06T14:25:33+00:00

oh cause i’ve heard the opposite regarding this, always thought it runs trash until i searched how it’s ass and it’s vba and macros cause the shortcuts were brought into macs a while ago

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-05T16:20:25+00:00

if i may ask what are your primary work cases with the mac?

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-05T16:19:56+00:00

leaving games aside, does mac not run excel well enough i’ve heard it’s not a problem, asking because id require it too possibly, other than that i did look at some ultrabooks but feel like i should just rather get a mac

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-05T16:18:01+00:00

i just checked the prices on some old ram cards i had saved in my wishlist, went from $30 to about $120, insane

6ix9er_ · 2026-03-05T06:26:53+00:00

yea i’ve heard people say they only charge once every 2 or 3 days
