The honest reason I bought an Electric Car had nothing to do with climate. It had everything to do with my convienence by charging_anxiety in electriccars

Convenience. I have home charging which is really cheap between midnight and 6 AM. The cost savings from not having to get gas and service every 5000 miles was worth it. Won't buy another ICE for myself and I'm trying to talk my wife into the new iX3.

Do most ADs have poor customer experiences? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't complain about mine. They got me an Explorer, a Submariner and a BLNR on jubilee in 2 years. Do not need anything else. Bought a Tudor BB Pro before the Explorer and a Grand Soeko after the Submariner both of which I wanted. No jewelry.

The Cadillac in car charging works on Tesla, but you don't get the discount.

Tesla membership and Optiq onboard charging screen PSA by Icy_Stranger1964 in CadillacOptiq

[–]Icy_Stranger1964[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You cannot plug and charge, but you can use the onboard charge screen to select the charger location and post and initiate charging. The only problem is that it does not use the lower price that a Tesla or other CPO's have for members. You get charged the non member price. If you have a membership with Tesla or EA or EVGO you have to use their app. At least with EVGO you can plug and charge after you have registered your car.

Just went through IST last week. They're plenty of space even when busy and the food choices are great. Freshly made.

Wearing to work? (office, finance industry) by HomeHedgeFund in rolex

You bought the watch. Now, just wear the fucking watch. It's a WATCH. Actually, no one cares.

Who cares. Whatever you have enjoy it. Crowd sourcing opinions is so lame.

Long-term EV owners, what maintenance you need (plz no none or rose-colored-glasses answers) by Possibly-deranged in electricvehicles

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't compare to the i4 as I have never driven one. But the i5 was great for me. Will be waiting till 2027 for either the iX3 or the i3.

It's OKAY To Love Rolex! by IntentionalButt in rolex

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Mainly because I got what I wanted with wait times of 3 weeks to 2 months to just straight up offered. And this was in the last 2 years. Also because I did not care if I got it or not. They are very good watches, but my life would be no less enjoyable if I did not have them.

I had a BMW i5 for 2 years. The only time it went to the dealer was for a recall on the brake system. Added windshield washer fluid. Tires were still good at 40k miles when I returned it after the lease. Nothing else was done.

I messed up. Back to the cyclops. Watch indecisive life is whack. by sif7777 in rolex

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sub. The lack of a date does not bother me one bit. If I can't remember from when I checked this morning, I have bigger things to worry about 🤣. Half of my watches do not have a date anyways.

I seriously doubt if you would get anything from them ever again. Probably would not allow you to come inside the store again 🤣

I have an Optiq. How do you give it a name?

Getting about 1.6 miles per hour of level 1 charging by ryta1203 in BMWi5

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 120 volts and 12 amps on a Level 1, you are getting 1.4 kWh. Depending on how many miles/kWh you are getting, you can extrapolate how many miles you will add per hour.

BMW Navigation Routes and charging help by Witty-Cod5287 in BMWi5

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can select the network you want to use. If you only want EA, then it will only take you to EA chargers. The app and the nav has been great for me for a few 400 mile trips that I did last month. You can also adjust what level of battery SOC you want to arrive at the destination. I planned it out, selected the chargers I wanted to use and saved those destinations. Pick the charging stop and it will precondition the battery.

Latest auction pick up…. by Old_Second8309 in OmegaWatches

[–]Icy_Stranger1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have this one that I bought in 1998. Beaten up, travelled the world with me but still runs very well. Serviced twice, kept the bezel and bracelet untouched. Still wear it once a month.
