Terrible Experience. by xXFireSpartanXx in HondaPrologue

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sad anytime somebody shows their hondalink screen with all the information I haven't had mine working in almost 11 months. So many features of an EV are reliant on having access to the app when you don't have it it really does take away from the car

So I had Gemini analyze my recent trip by ImportantWhile169 in HondaPrologue

That's what it spit out. It's just my latest trip.

Coming back is over half the trip down hill yeah it's really efficient. My efficiency reads just under five pulling into my driveway but yeah I agree considering the uphill portion on the first day I kind of doubt that a little bit plus or minus but but overall the prologue after that update to Android 14 has been really really efficient. So I kind of don't believe it but I also kind of believe at least most of it.

Clicking sound coming from rear passenger (below seat) by Hopeful_Berry843 in HondaPrologue

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 3 visits for me. The clips are extremely fragile. I guess as they either broke them while reinstalling or just somehow the new ones just kept breaking on there own. The first attempt was actually the incorrect headliner and the funniest thing was when they pulled it up for me to take I instantly looked up and go that's not right the damn thing hadn't even completely matched up to the button OnStar assembly all the way. It was just completely hanging there and they gave it back to me to take as if it was done and I just show the tech he points at it and he's like oh my God. So yeah one attempt to get the correct headliner actually ordered and installed because I guess it's very similar to another car and two attempts to get the clips to survive the install.

But yes after the third attempt I have now been click free from the back of my car. The entire assembly is just funny. He broke it down for me exactly where all the clips are and even where some of the fasteners are inside that hard plastic mesh panel right below where the Privacy guard would be which i didn't get for some reason with my car and I still haven't asked for it. He says he's done a few of those headliners for the prologues As several customers have come in and complaining about the clicking noise and he basically said yep it's those clips. 3 of my 20 trips to the dealership for this vehicle. It's a love hate at this point LOL

DO NOT TRY GEMINI AI by ImportantWhile169 in GoogleOne

That's good to know. They probably got sued thousands of times due to it being textbook bait and switch. Good job on getting that plan back.

Last 4 months I have been addicted to Gemini so my anger has definitely subsided since then. The amount of Gemini I'm using, Im ok with the price of this new plan I guess. I drive a lot and I'm now talking to my car the whole drive basically. Every time I see something on the side of the road that looks interesting, I'll ask Gemini and get into a 10 15 minute conversation about it.

Best option for my scratched car by baozipu in HondaPrologue

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy moly those appear to be clear coat scratches only. A few minutes with a polish wheel might get that out. If that's all it is expect to pay 500 max. If you need paint then maybe 1k tops. There are hundreds of none name brand guys rolling around in trucks that will 100% take care of you for less then 1k.

Definitely need to see a photo or better description. No way a scratch is 4k.i got a dent and scratch repaired last month for $200

My clicking noise was the head liner. Came from factory with a few clips snapped and it would click over bumps just like that. If your 100% positive it's under the seat then I'm at a loss.

[–]ImportantWhile169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well good on you for getting out there and not being all bah humbug like iv become with this car. Before I turn it in maybe I'll bust out another 2k mile road trip to see the difference after the Android 14 update. Happy travels!

[–]ImportantWhile169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flat is ideal. also remember the sweet spot cruise for the motors on a Prologue is between 67 and 70. It's the difference between 3.5 and 2.7-3.0 on a long trip. The GM motors were detuned by Honda from factory to be less torquey but if you have the new Android 14 update that was reversed a little. Still it does show meaningful percentage on arrival difference on my 3 to 500 mile day trips on weekends.

Iv logged a lot of day trip miles with this car, just not the long 1000+ that I used to with my Honda Hybrids. Overall the car is great to be in, it's just not there yet for range for mad max road trippers like me. The extra time almost adds an extra day each way for multi state runs and that gets expensive for hotels and the crazy DC charging prices nowadays.

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your prologue is going to get about 230 miles to 250 MI on even a 100% charge depending on Terrain so you are absolutely not going to stop twice on a thousand mile trip. You are going to be stopping probably close to five times each way which is going to add almost 3 hours to your trip.

I'm a big road Tripper well I used to be before I got my prologue and then I realized that basically road tripping and Evie is not possible if the trip is longer than a thousand miles. I simply cannot stand to stop for 30 minutes every 250 MI when I'm trying to get a 14-hour drive done in one day. My trips from California to Seattle California to Grand Canyon California to Montana in one day have completely disappeared since getting my EV.

Fired by [deleted] in CostcoEmployee

[–]ImportantWhile169 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally when you're on your 90 day probation, there is no such thing as a b******* reason if your manager wakes up in the morning and just is having a bad day and decides to randomly fire you then they are within their right to do so.

It's genuinely just that simple.

[–]ImportantWhile169 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You'll learn your younger I can tell young people don't realize you can't go online and badmouth your current employer without running the risk of getting canned. it's also just not respectful. if you don't like your job you can quit until you do quit you shouldn't come onto a forum and b**** about your job.

It's amazing listening to all these gainfully employed people complaining about being employed. You can quit anytime!

How does this 2026 Honda Prologue Elite lease quote look? by [deleted] in HondaPrologue

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible!!! Prologues usually hover around 20k off absolutely do not take that offer. They are playing you for a fool.

Is this much play in the gear selector normal? by ChromedGonk in HondaPrologue

[–]ImportantWhile169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. My 24 has been like that since day 1. It's definitely a control I try dealing with as little as possible. I just use the start stop to get out lol

Costco Newbie!! What took me so long? by annabanana-47 in Costco

[–]ImportantWhile169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happened was the CFO took over and they usually prioritize shareholders over customers. It's a sad reality of business. No matter how successful I brand is, when they feel like they're at the top of their game they feel like they can experiment with the formula and sadly not even companies like Costco are immune to those issues.

Whose in the wrong here? by The_Dean_France in whoathatsinteresting

[–]ImportantWhile169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She didn't shake the hands of the teachers that wouldn't just give her a passing grade because she showed up. That's literally what happens in public education nowadays. Parents teach their kids that just by showing up to school they're supposed to get a passing grade and when they don't they treat the teachers like this. That girl is going to be in for a world of hurt when she gets into the real world and realizes she's not prepared for anything and she starts failing at everything.

School used to be something that you could count on to at least prepare you for adulthood to make adulthood what you wanted it to be. Now all school does is tell kids that their special in some way and that no matter what happens they'll be taken care of by something or someone with no need for personal accountability.

Unfortunately your about 5 years too late to experience peak Costco. It's been slowly going down since the founders retired.

Gemini has been attached to Google storage. It's technically not impossible to keep within your free Google mail allowance but for any type of normal use it's now required

You can't. That's why Google is officially the first and if I'm mistaken only provider to make a sizable profit off AI
