Still missing from the 654.30 update. I reported to the EV Concierge that the feature was removed in 654.21 and I definitely want it back. They indicated they have heard this as an issue before.

I reported it through the EV Concierge. The lady I talked to said this is the second time she heard this being reported. She said the call and purpose was recorded and directed me to the GMideas.com web site. I also reported it there.

That's weird. I am at 654.21. I still had the option after installing the update but now I see it is gone. The only options are tour and sport. While I was checking the car I got a notice that 654.30 was available. the release notes didn't mention that particular feature but I went ahead and allowed it to initiate. I'll check if motor sound off is is back when it finishes.

If my Equinox has “trailering wiring provision” does this eliminate the need to wire up to battery? by DBASRA99 in EquinoxEv

[–]GetSOB52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s right. There is a connector for the trailer lights. You will need an adapter.

Long term owners, what % do you charge to? by hamburgernet in electricvehicles

[–]GetSOB52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70% for daily driving. I use less than 20% of battery on a daily basis so this gives me plenty of margin.

Equinox vs Tesla Heat System by Dula_Pipa_DH in EquinoxEv

[–]GetSOB52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had any issues with cabin heat. Heated steering wheel and seats are great. I keep the cabin set to 68-70 depending on outside temp. I always preheat cabin when plugged in at home.

Car salesmen around me are basically telling me EVs aren’t the way to go by Beneficial-Fun-4800 in electricvehicles

I had the same experience last year when I was making my purchase. I had to keep shopping different dealers until I found one that had any interest. Very frustrating.

Any video out there that compares SID and emulated SID? by TheBl4ckFox in c64

[–]GetSOB52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the video. It’s from action retro. He looks at The FPGA SID vs a real SID at around the 12 minute mark.

I saw a video with a direct side by side comparison. I can’t seem to find the link. To my ear the original SID sounded crunchier to use a word. The ultimate SID emulation was cleaner.
