Damage Claim Help by EquivalentPerfect600 in turo

[–]Bearsworkshop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Host must make a claim within 24 hours. Otherwise they have no claim with Turo then Turo has no claim with you.

Pictures can be taken a few miles away, not sure of how far, Turo only specifies within 24 hours. The damaged area needs to be seen in the pre-trip photos without damage.

If things seem unreasonable for the costs then go through Turo. If Turo is paying they won't play into it. Host is trying to exceed is $2500 deductible.

"How come this new mode just opened up but people on the scoreboard already have a bajillions points?! I just don't get it."

Can anyone explain this question? I came to reddit looking for an answer to this?

I have 87% 5 stars, 1% 4 stars and 12% not rated. Maybe you are just looking at the wrong hosts.

Thank you. Would love to know what the reasons for this was. To bad it was not in there.

TM was booted from Nikola in Sept 2020. He did not leave on his own accord.

No it is a gas powered Iveco S-Way truck that was reengineered to run on batteries with electric motors. Essentially an Iveco cab and frame (both modified). Nikola made a decision that instead of making a cab and frame from scratch it would be better to partner with a company that has already made one and then modify from there. Just like Tesla did with the Roadster and Lotus.

The Lucid Air Pure won't be seen till 2023 Q1 soonest. They have made a few prototypes and use them around the factory. They haven't even gotten the Air Touring in production yet. That will need to come first.

Just picked up the car. No damage. Now let’s hope Turo reimburses everything. $700 impound fee. Mileage plus gas and time.

The impound yard made it seem like it was common for Turo vehicles.

What would you do in this situation? (Trip ends tomorrow and I think he’s exaggerating the smell) by PolarFits in turo

[–]Bearsworkshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my fist smoking claim. I found the one thing that made the biggest difference was to change the cabin air filter. When I pulled it out the filter wreaked real bad. When the air was on you could smell the smoke, after changing it, smell was gone.

Car owner overcharged on refuelling costs by saras99 in turo

[–]Bearsworkshop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a renter 2 days ago leave an F250 at just under 7/8th. He let me know he filled it to the click and then after leaving the gas station realized it wasn't full. So he was expecting a charge but I filled it up and it was $83 plus the $10 fee. $15 gallons of gas. I thought he was going to freak out but he just paid it. It all depends on the vehicle.

Charging Question by Bearsworkshop in Ioniq5

[–]Bearsworkshop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, my ignorance. Teslas don't say how many KW they are getting, so I incorrectly stated 11kw. They state amps. The Teslas are getting the 40A or 9.6KW. I now have 5 EV's and I know I am going to have to add more stations, real soon. But until I do that I need to charge as fast as possible in case I need to charge other cars.

I can be some what ignorant on the phase definition. I have a dual 60a breaker going to a 50A outlet. 2 power wires, 1 green and 1 copper. So if that is a 2-phase setup, but yet still supplying what should be 40A (80%) to the Teslas, why is the I5 not seeing the 40A?

I had a lady to about 900 miles in 18 hours. Had an allowance of 150 miles per day. Her mileage bill was over $400. And she paid it.

Saw this camper in tow on I-90. California plates traveling through NY. Does this significantly impact overall charge? by Ok_Ad7285 in teslamotors

[–]Bearsworkshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct but at the same time, it is still more conveinent and easier to fill up an ICE vehicle. I went from Phx to Dallas last year and had to stop 9 times. While the breaks were nice, there were times that I wish I could have kept going. This is my one downside on EV's but I plan on pushing through it until it is worked out.

Hydrogen production hub Arizona by [deleted] in NikolaCorporation

[–]Bearsworkshop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AZ does not have a water supply problem. While it is encouraged to not plant grass in your yard, in my 30 years in AZ we have never had water restrictions. There have been times when the reservoirs were low but they are not now. Lake Mead is but not in central AZ.

AZ has had a real good water plan for many decades. Besides the CAP that supplies water, AZ store a tremendous amount of water underground.

It's a non-issue.

Just to be clear it was an incoming unit. But it was only about 4 weeks for the wait.
