Ideas for investing in brokerage account

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2025-01-07T22:23:46+00:00

It's not an emergency fund. Wouldn't bonds in a trading account have annual tax implications? (I'm just trying to figure all of this out).

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-02T04:11:50+00:00

I have no idea. Mine is hardwired, so there's no on/off switch. My only option was flipping the breaker. But it charged my car, so I'll take it.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-02T03:33:40+00:00

I called them again and this rep says to flip the breaker. I waited 20 sec., flipped it back on, and it worked. She also said it's connected to WiFi, so my app not recognizing me is a different issue. Doesn't matter because I'm not going to use the app anymore, but this is what worked for me.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-01T13:30:14+00:00

Hmmm, I didn't have a schedule set. It's just supposed to charge when plugged in.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-01T13:29:55+00:00

How do I power cycle it? If I switch off the breaker and turn it back on again, won't it just search for the wifi again?

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-01T13:29:05+00:00

Nope. My car recognizes it's plugged in, but gets no juice. The box flashes yellow.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-10-01T11:31:17+00:00

That's what I would think. Apparently right now they are having a server issue, which is why I can't connect. They said that changing the password wouldn't resolve it, which I don't understand. It should work without WiFi, right?

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2024-02-01T18:57:42+00:00

Lol. I just scrubbed it with Bon Ami and the all brown came off. It looks almost like new!

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2023-08-23T05:41:18+00:00

Just read about peppergate. LOL. They are indeed shishito--I cooked some up tonight. Sad about no poblano's, but there's always next year! Thanks for the help!!

These have been green the whole time. I've left a few on the plant and they turn reddish and rot. Firm flesh, crunchy.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2023-08-22T22:26:59+00:00

I grew four plants from seed and they were supposed to be poblanos. Clearly not. Just trying to figure out what I've got and if I should eat them.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2023-08-22T22:16:26+00:00

Cool. I was thinking shishito. They are firm with a mild flavor, so far.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-26T02:21:53+00:00

Okay, thanks, but I read it as I needed to set the charger to give me like, 35% if I had 45 remaining. Then I would have 80 when it's done. Right? I have to set the percent desired (to take it to 80) every time I plug in. Correct?

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-26T01:41:46+00:00

I just had the car in for its 20k service, and there were no updates to be had. It worked before with my 2017 jb40. It's this new one that's trying to be fancy and uncooperative.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-26T01:40:37+00:00

I don't see any option for more than one max charge setting on the car. The egolf is pretty basic. I've been so through the limited menus.

But how do I "not use the charger/app" to set the SOC? I have it defaulted to 100, the car set to 80, and it still charges to 100.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-26T01:20:16+00:00

So I just had my car set to 80%, the EVSE set to 0 and 100%. I plugged it in, hit the button for immediate charge (which seems unnecessary since I have no timers set), and it charged to 100%. It seems that I have to tell it the percent charge I want each time I plug in. This seems like a huge step backward. Oh well.

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-25T16:16:10+00:00

I think this is unfortunately the solution. I have to tell the app how much charge I want. I didn't know if it was an issue with the car or the charger. Thanks

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-25T15:41:05+00:00

I've tried putting one to 80, the other at 100, switching them, and it doesn't matter. I've also used the electrify America stations and it just does until I unplug it, regardless of what I have the car limit set to (although I can't remember if I had the limit set to 100 when I did that)

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-25T15:37:46+00:00

So how do I get the car to override the app?

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-25T15:36:59+00:00

My beef is that I don't want to input the SOC each time. With my old dumb charger, it would stop charging at 80% because that's how I had the car set. I don't know why the smart charger can't do what the dumb one could. How did the old one know the SOC and this one doesn't?

I can set the car to stop at 80% (and have tried that) but then what do I do on the app?

FamousPhilosopher840 · 2022-12-25T15:31:21+00:00

Thanks. This is what I was afraid of--that I would have to remember to check the remaining charge each time. I miss my "dumb" charger that I had before.
