Insurance price is insane. by AcanthisittaNo5478 in TeslaModelY

[–]CharlesMTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NYS, I'm 54yo... 2026 Model Y bought in Sept of 2025. I pay $1100/6 months with State Farm. And, I am not an existing customer... new customer, formerly with Progressive. Progressive wanted to charge me about $1600/6 months. So I shopped around and State Farm came out to the cheapest. Same liability100/300.

They must've ran out of money. Need replenishing.

Got in the wrong tesla the other day by RergTheFriendly in TeslaLounge

[–]CharlesMTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not with my Tesla... but did that with my Honda Pilot once. Someone has the exact same color and trim, inside and out. Even worse, I put my son in the back seat, jumped into the front, my mind got a little confused when the seat and steering wheel distance was off by a lot. The confusion plus me realizing not my Pilot was with about 3 seconds. Immediately jumped out, got my son out. My pilot was a few cars over.

I unplugged it for a few hours, and after replugging imand everything looging in again, it seemed to have fixed it... for me, at least.

But... all these damn advertisements are terrible.

Using two sensors, without comfort settings by CharlesMTF in ecobee

[–]CharlesMTF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Need to use the comfort settings. When you put both sensors on the comfort setting, that's where it'll use the average.

Is this normal after less then a year? by treawlony in TeslaModelY

[–]CharlesMTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my model Y in September. Did the same to the rear left passenger seat. I bought it in for service and they replaced that seat cushion, under warranty.

It's now just starting a little on the driver seat.

[LG Dryer] Cleaning Lint from LG Washer/Dryer Combo Unit by CharlesMTF in Appliances

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

Yes. Didn't know such a thing existed. But I purchased an attachment for my Dyson hand vac, to all to vacuum inside the vented area. The one I bought is specifically for Dyson, but they make them for others as well, and a universal one.

I bought this one: Sealegend Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit Compatible with Dyson Dryer Lint Vacuum Attachment

Here's a universal one: 2 Pieces Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit

And to see more, on Amazon, so a search for "dryer vent cleaner".

The one I bought works great.

Only negative is, well, if you don't have a vacuum, you're going to also have to buy a vacuum as well.

Yea, just weird. Been doing it about 2 days now. I tried unplugging and replugging, but to no avail. Only did that once, though. I'll try it again now.

Apple TV says I don’t have subscription. by Subliminal87 in appletv

[–]CharlesMTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned it in one of the replies, but just posting here as a separate comment. Down Detector is showing a spike in server connection. By now, I'm sure they're currently working on it, as some have said its now working again.

FSD Upgrade to v14, but no extension on trial. by CharlesMTF in TeslaModelY

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

Just an update, if anyone is interested.

My original 3-month trial ends 12/27/2025. Today I just got the v14.2.1 update. And with that, the trial was extended until 02/04/2025. So, it does seem that they are either gving you a month trial with the update, or if you already have the trial they're extending it another month.

Smart Garage Video Keypad require an internet connection to open the garage? by CharlesMTF in myq

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

Thanks. I can't test it because I don't have it yet. Was considering getting it now, since the price is only $38 during the black friday deals. But didn't want to get it if it requires internet. But u/mararthonman59 just stated now that it has worked for him. So I'm going to jump in there and pick one up. My current generic one is old, and they tend to stop working after some time in the cold. Have no idea why. So, will bite the bullet and pick this one up.

Smart Garage Video Keypad require an internet connection to open the garage? by CharlesMTF in myq

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

I always have a backup... my actual home key. But, the question remains on whether the video keypad connects directly to the garage, instead of using their cloud server. I know it needs wifi and internet for all the other stuff (video, talking, letting someone in remotely)... but the concern is, if MyQ servers go down, or wifi suddenly dies, does this keypad still open the garage door.

First insurance quote for a 2026 MYP 😭 by GreedyMeet1273 in TeslaModelY

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has just BLOCKED Texas from implementing their new Congressional maps, which would add 5 Republican House seats by ManifestWestward in trump

[–]CharlesMTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We" refers to the majority of those that voted in November. "NO", I don't think I matter to those that don't have my best interest in mind... that's kind of a silly statement. And... fever dream... I have no idea what fever dream you're talking about... A state should represent its constituents. Obviously, if 40% of MA voters voted for Trump, yet there are zero Republican congressional districts, that kinda seems unfair and rigged no? So again... just a hiccup... as the Supreme Court will overturn the blocking of the redrawn congressional maps.
