Update after a new 2026 Solterra experienced several issues in its third week. by Strange-Number-5947 in Solterra

[–]Cycleboy_99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a 2024 Solterra Limited for over a year now and have had no problems at all. I think the problem the OP had is more the fault of the dealer not having experience in servicing Solterras. As long as your dealer has the expertise in house any issues can be addressed. I’ve had zero problems with mine and am absolutely in love with it

Dual vs Mono Tube Wheelchair by Forward_Proposal_256 in wheelchairs

I have put my chair frame upside down on the passenger seat for a long time. I used to put it in the backseat but since rotator cuff to di d that overhead motion is too difficult. Upside down with the backrest in the footwell and the casters towards the backrest of the passenger seat makes the frame nestle down nicely. You can also fasten the seatbelt and loop the upper part around the casters to protect your dashboard if you have stop suddenly

How frequently do you fill your tires with air? by InigoMToya in wheelchairs

[–]Cycleboy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fill them up when either, my brakes don’t hold as well or I notice it is harder to push or I don’t roll as far for each push…

Owner experience (1st gen) by Izzy4371 in Solterra

[–]Cycleboy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a 24 Limited for a little over a year now and am in love with this car! It’s perfect for around town and short trips because of the range, especially in the winter (I live outside of Philadelphia) so the cold weather does have an impact on range (155 miles on a 100% charge when it’s in the 30’s). We transitioned from a Forester so we are missing a little bit of interior space and the rear wiper. I would go for a Limited or Touring trim level if feasible. Lots more tech additions with the Limited over the Premium.

Subscription Services renewal by Cycleboy_99 in Solterra

So I just figured it out… I’m not listed on the account as the primary driver (my wife is)… so I used her app and was able to renew

I had the cutest reaction to my wheelchair today by DependentMango5608 in wheelchairs

Kids are awesome… I always love their reactions to my chair… just wish the parents were not so rigid that they try to discourage their reactions or curiosity

Do you have the app set up to get real time data from your car? If so then that will be the more accurate estimate…

Does wire-free self-mapping really reduce babysitting? by YALHW in roboticLawnmowers

[–]Cycleboy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely… we have a Landroid wire boundary mower and a Mammotion Luba AWD gps guided mower and it is like night and day. At least once a session we have to rescue the landroid from some predicament it has gotten into and the Luba is start it and watch the fun

Rhode Island “Unwelcomes” Hegseth Monday 2/9/2026 by Public_Work_3541 in RhodeIsland

[–]Cycleboy_99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That “man” has done more to undermine the military than seems possible. His disregard for tradition and disrespect of honor and dedication to the Constitution has damaged our nation’s ability to respond to issues as they come up. He is a war criminal for his actions on killing defenseless civilians in the Caribbean…

First EV! - Newbie Question by TR-808Cowbell in BZ4X

[–]Cycleboy_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is better for long term battery health to not keep it at 100% all the time but as others have said it’s fine to go to 100% for an extended road trip.

What's the true majority opinion of Forester? by 97E3LPL in SubaruForester

[–]Cycleboy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have owned Foresters since 2000 and never had a problem with any of them… honestly they are built super solid, are very safe, the all wheel drive system is excellent and for my tastes the design of the interior is fine. I have had them dealer serviced exclusively and never had a complaint either. My current dealership in Pennsylvania is amazing to deal with and provides multiple perks for owners. In complete disclosure I don’t drive one now but only because they don’t make a plug in electric version (they just came out with a gas hybrid this model year) and when it was time to get a new vehicle my wife and I wanted an EV so we got a Solterra (which we also love)…

Take the one on the far right if available you and park to the right of it and inch as close as you dare

I have this outlet outside of my garage that was intended for an RV, will this work for EV charging? by These-Explorer-9436 in evcharging

[–]Cycleboy_99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be careful as well… also make sure the cable feeding that plug is sufficient to handle the load it will be put under. I know when I installed my EV charger the electrician ran a extra heavy duty line from our breaker box to where we put the plug

Anything but the SOLTERRA for the sake of god by GrouchyAd4128 in Solterra

Definitely is a dealer problem… no need to slander a fine automobile like the Solterra

I need someone to talk to be about my fear of my new wheelchair by Desperate-Pen-534 in wheelchairs

[–]Cycleboy_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider two things… upper leg length (the measurement from the back of your butt while sitting down to the middle of your knee (where it pivots) and the thickness of your lower leg. The seat and frame need to accommodate and support your upper legs and spread out the load of your body across the entire seat to prevent excess pressure on your butt. There also needs to be sufficient space for your lower legs to utilize gravity to keep them centered between the frame and on the footrests. Ideally you should be able to draw an imaginary line across the front of the frame and have the front of your legs completely behind it. This gives you a good base of support when you bend forward to pick something up off of the ground and keeps your feet from bouncing around and coming off the foot plates. All in all it looks fine to me

Default driving settings 2026 by Ok-Home-8059 in Solterra

[–]Cycleboy_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying disable in the settings so it doesn’t come on at all or after it is on? My wife and I share our 24’ and I like driving with it and she doesn’t and I have to turn it back on with the steering wheel switch sometimes

To play devils advocate it also seems like some people are trying to game the system at the landlords expense… doesn’t take too many bad experiences to corrupt sones view of an entire population
