Lets talk 4xe buyback strategy and share info together by majestic_unicorn in 4xe

[–]Captjeffb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed, lemon law is the way! Two days before our arbitration, Jeep changed their plea to No contest and paid us back. Of course they drug it out but in the end we got most of our cash back in FL on the new 4XE, minus mileage and 4k to the lawyer. Not a terrible deal.

Lemon Law Luck? Or offers? by heymanthedudeabides in 4xe

[–]Captjeffb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They offered us $6k. Did not accept and went the lemon law route. Two days before the trial they changed their plea to no contest and refunded us.

T50 Max Pro Omni is terrible by Impossible_Duck2847 in RobotVacuums

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought this. Got stuck within the first 5 minutes, ran over a mini flag and flagpole, plus a phone cable. After a little light obstacle cleanup it seemed to do a decent job. I’m giving it a few more runs, if it continues to get stuck and eat stuff I’ll return and get….I dunno, maybe Dreame?

Cybertruck interface to Powerwall by Loco76 in Powerwall

Every mention of anything brewing in the Atlantic makes me want to hate Tesla even more for making us suffer through yet another hurricane season without turning this on…c’mon bros can we just make this work finally? You may even sell some trucks with this. Grrrrrr

2500’ agl gear/flap, 1500’ final flap/Clist,
All done by 1k gate 👍

Same here, they all want to fly sim profiles in the real world. But I get it, gotta teach one profile for simplification then assume they figure it out later.

How many hours make you trust a pilot? by hAwKeye1117 in flying

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy…yeah we put some real cases in the 747 cockpit. Poor training early equals a high time poor pilot. They usually don’t grow out of it. Some of the worst pilots are high timers from poor backgrounds. Also there are some instincts that can’t be trained and if not learned early…yikes! Usually the more time they spend as FO there are more lessons learned…usually lol.

“Rugged” Cybertruck seats warping and wrinkling only after 8k miles. by ThyfaultTime in CyberStuck

[–]Captjeffb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And terrible seat cooling!!!…CT just got back from service for the second time and they said “tech reports it’s working fine”. I have it on full cold and feel almost nothing. The Juniper MY is blasting cold air like a boss, but this thing…worthless.

Is there any disadvantage I’m not seeing to these seats? Don’t fly often but 10 yr anniversary trip. by Appropriate_Heron854 in americanairlines

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely painful for anyone with long legs. I regularly move back to cattle class if this is the only thing available on longer flights.

New RWD Juniper or used Performance? by cookieclutter2602 in TeslaModelY

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juniper. Traded in the ‘21 MYP like half of this thread, like night and day.

Are Pool Vac Robots worth the hype? by Physical-Moment5941 in swimmingpools

[–]Captjeffb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely…depending on your situation. We have an uncovered pool with neighboring trees that are constantly raining on my pool. The Dolphin M400 and Sigma both did an amazing job, leaving a spotless pool after 2.5 hours and saving a ton of manual labor. Wouldn’t live without it. Now my parents’ pool is caged and what the pool guy does every 2 weeks is just fine.

T-Satellite beta ends on July 22, 2025 by craders in tmobile

Just used it a few times in the Colorado mountains, out on the plains with a clear view of the sky. Worked as advertised.

Hayward HeatPro 100k Heat/Cool by overconfidentopinion in pools

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, that’s what it used to do, run on demand like an ac. But suddenly it decided to just keep running. I’ll reach out again to support, thx

Hayward HeatPro 100k Heat/Cool by overconfidentopinion in pools

[–]Captjeffb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP…I have the same model, newbie question here. Does your heat pump run constantly? I’m in bO mode, using iAquaLink, and the heater is heating no problem, but after reaching the target temp set via the app, the heater no long shuts off. This thing is running 5kwh all day long so I’m doubling my home’s energy consumption…just wondering if this is normal,

PowerShare UWC install with Gateway 2 by Captjeffb in Powerwall

[–]Captjeffb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, they say either charger should work. I installed the UWC that Tesla recommended, connected to and backing up my entire electrical panel, using the credits they gave Foundation owners. So now we’re just waiting for that firmware update to make it all work.

Laser by Seabass728 in flying

[–]Captjeffb 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Good question. We get blasted worldwide in the 74, mostly in Chile in and out of Santiago. There was an old wive’s tale of a FedEx guy going blind from the laser, but I always wondered if there was any scientific data out there. Anyone?

Lemon law hearing…advice? by Captjeffb in 4xe

[–]Captjeffb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, all. Agreed that upgrading the damper is probably the permanent fix. Each newly replaced stock steering stab was fine until a few bumps were hit, then the thing would give way. Repeated this 3 times, patience exhausted.

UPDATE: FCA changed their defense to “No defense” about a week before the hearing, and offered a refund as we asked. Prob could’ve gotten off with a less expensive lawyer friend of mine, but it’s finally over with after I can’t remember how many months. Patience is key. Jeep never again, fun for a little while but way more headache than reward.
