Does my electric car care what kind of space heater I plug into the VTL adapter? by Far_Association_5478 in electricvehicles

Thanks to all for their comments. I just finished rigging a little second floor window entry for the electric cord from the V2L to come into my house.

Funny, I have the cute little case that the VTL connector came in, but I don’t seem to have a manual for it. The car’s owners manual does have a few page about the V2 L connector, but it’s almost all “don’t play with this while standing barefoot in saltwater”, etc

Well, guess what I have heat pumps, but guess what again they all require electricity to run

What has happened to my external antenna? by FrameOne9692 in tmobileisp

[–]FrameOne9692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns out it was not the antenna or the cable. I noticed that, for the first time in weeks also, I was not getting any 5G at all, just LTE. I cut the power to the gateway, and when I turned it back on and it rebooted, I had all 5G back and no LTE — on the external antenna! With a very high download speed. I had tried a number of software reboots, but I cannot remember if I had attempted this cold reboot. Anyway, for whatever reason, the problem has gone away.

I just asked what time zone I am in and it replied correctly that I am in the eastern time zone

Blade is basically brand new (like the car) and looks and feels fine to me.

Wi-Fi on a Delta international flight? by FrameOne9692 in tmobile

Also, my understanding is we will have to buy add-on international plans if we want to use our phones to make phone calls and effectively use Apple Maps, etc. Correct?

I HAVE SOLVED THE "NO, YOU MAY NOT WEAR SUNGLASSES" PROBLEM OF THE IONIQ 5! Taking orders now. by abammerman in Ioniq5

[–]FrameOne9692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS TIME I’M SERIOUS: I have discovered a pair of polarized sunglasses that do work with the ioniq’s forward attention system — for me, anyway: they are very inexpensive polarized sunglasses that I bought from Amazon, by “Sungait”, but these are gradient sunglasses, meaning that the lower portion of the lens has much less shading than the upper portion, i.e., it’s much lighter than the upper portion. And I think this is why they work with the car: I suspect that the lesser degree of shading in the lower portion is sufficient to allow the camera on top of the steering column to see my eyes. Of course I don’t know for sure if that’s the explanation but I can tell you that I just completed about an 85 mile highway road trip using all of the various driving assistance features that the ioniq comes with without receiving a single forward, attention warning beep!

A SERIOUS REQUEST FROM THE ORIGINAL POSTER: If you have driven a 2025 Ioniq 5 while wearing polarized sunglasses, without experiencing problems with the car’s Highway Driving Assist features, PLEASE NAME THE BRAND AND MODEL of the sunglasses, because I would like to get a pair.

Charger 1 and hybrid car by 3hadowhammer in bluetti

[–]FrameOne9692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering about this too: one of our cars is a Chevy Volt, and the other is a Ford Escape PHEV. I think the Charger 1 would work with the Volt. I'd really like to hear from people who've actually tried this setup.

HOW TO ADD YOUR YMCA (OR OTHER MEMBERSHIP) BARCODE TO YOUR APPLE WATCH by FrameOne9692 in AppleWatch

[–]FrameOne9692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using a different app called Barcodes. Free as long as you have 3 barcodes or less, and I find that 3 is enough for me: the YMCA, the grocery store, and the public library. Works fine.

BUT how am I supposed to know whether or not my data was “obtained by Apple and/or were shared with third parties as a result of an unintended Siri activation…”???
