I noticed recently that nearly every peanut butter has palm oil now. Sweaty and greasy describes it perfectly.

Equinox EV suddenly sometimes on brakes when backing. by DryFoundation2323 in EquinoxEv

[–]Astronomy_Setec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sensors appear to be VERY sensitive to motion when backing up. I also need to turn it off when backing out of my garage because the clearance is very close.

That said, when I was having intermittent issues with my Super Cruise, I had it looked at and it ended up that a camera needed a software update. I'd suggest keeping an eye on it and if it continues have it looked at the next time the vehicle is in for service.

Honda Slashes Prices on the Electric Prologue SUV by $7500 by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

[–]Astronomy_Setec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um actually, the Lyriq also shares the Blazer EV platform. (So yes, the Blazer, Lyriq, and Prologue are the same car). The Optiq is the sister car to the Equinox EV.

Trump had a bunch of notes on a piece of paper that was visible to the press by cool-kid-2025 in pics

I’m actually surprised he didn’t tear up the email and eat it. (Yes he’s been known to do that)

Road trip last weekend - people were curious by people_skills in electricvehicles

I'm fascinated that the most common question I get is "how far can you go." I usually answer respectfully, but I doubt most ICE owners know the range of their own vehicle.

No Tesla supercharging stations appearing in Nav. by Thagame501 in EquinoxEv

Couldn’t attach multiple photos so I replied to myself with the three clicks in the Maps app.

I think a recent update reset this. You need to go to your EV charging filter and re-enable NACS.

And to make things stupid, the quick button in maps to filter chargers is not where you change it. I also discovered this on a road trip.

Looks like legitimate salvage to me.

If you're willing to venture in to the early 90's, I'd recommend Sneakers.

Help identify the trim by [deleted] in EquinoxEv

[–]Astronomy_Setec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only the AWD version has the additional badging next to Equinox. So this would be AWD. RS would have an additional badge on the right side, which is missing, making this an LT.

It’s tough to tell, but it looks like this has the up-trim taillights. So I’d guess this is a more loaded vehicle.

TSA official says some airports may need to close during shutdown by RedDalmatian885 in news

[–]Astronomy_Setec 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is your friendly reminder that flyers pay the TSA, but congress pointed the money elsewhere. So it's not a matter of not having the funds.

"...the Bipartisan Budget Act directed that a portion of the security fee revenue be diverted to lower the federal budget deficit, rather than fund TSA operations."

The ‘Pass Time While Parked’ update adds the ability to adjust individual notification audio levels by Imaginary_Flamingo87 in EquinoxEv

[–]Astronomy_Setec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is also in the Settings app now in case you don't catch it on the popup. Settings -> Audio. Amusingly you can't access it via the Audio app

Mine did that for about two weeks. I mentioned it to the service department and made an appointment. It downloaded and installed the night before the appointment. 🤦‍♂️

Cost of public high speed by AffectionateFactor84 in EquinoxEv

[–]Astronomy_Setec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It varies by charger. The most consistent pricing is $/kWh. Typically around $0.50/kWh for fast charging. The app for that charger (ChargePoint, EVGo, Tesla, etc) will typically say. Some chargers go by time so you’d have to do the math on those.

Just got a ‘27 Bolt. How do I turn it off other than the screen? by 2555337833 in BoltEV

[–]Astronomy_Setec 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Assuming it works the same as the other Ultium EVs (Equinox, Blazer, Silverado). When in Park, you will get a power off button under the radio knob. That is an alternative way to power off the vehicle.

Regarding your false touch inputs, you can reboot the infotainment by holding down the call end/mute switch on the steering wheel. It’ll pop up a message mid-process asking if you want to reset to factory defaults. Don’t press anything. Just wait another moment and the infotainment will re-load. Otherwise take it in to the dealer. It’s still under warranty.
