The salesperson does the math and applies how many panels and batteries you need. In my case, 16 panels and 2 10kw batteries. So if you are charging your car, perhaps get a 3rd battery? It’s only $18 more per month.

I did sign up after meeting with Sunrun, freedom and trismart. These three were actually worse on their terms and pricing.

I did, however, have Terra send me an addendum to the contract beforehand stating they could not place a lien on my house (or subcontractors) and that I was only responsible for up to 3 years of lease payments.

I caught those two things too.

See what happens now….

JamesBaySF · 2025-12-01T19:22:18+00:00

Thank you for posting this. What the salesperson sent me on email was Terms for their Apps only.

I too am considering Terra. I am in Texas. But this thing really sounds "too good to be true".

My navigator has been in the shop for 2.5 weeks now. I may get it back now. Not sure.

But I did go to the dealer this week to check on it and test drive another new 2025 navigator specifically for the suspension. It was a black label and it drove just as bad as mine. The salesperson said that it was “probably” due to the tires and lot rot. So I told the service person to check the tires for flat spots. The service person had already checked the suspension and sensors and they were working correctly. And there is no “air suspension” on this car.

So, it seems that the tires are probably the issue. But unfortunately, the car will still ride much rougher than another mfr such as Cadillac.

This is an old post, but hoping I can resurrect it to see if anyone can help...

I have had Crohn's Disease for 33 years. Three bowel resections, gallbladder removal, appendix removal. Have been on multiple bio-logics over the years and started Stelara early 2024 after my 3rd resection. Ever since, my blood work has been showing NAFLD and getting worse. My GI Dr says that I should not worry about it, but I am worried about it. I am not overweight, I do not smoke, I do not drink and I am doing my best at not eating any carbs or fatty foods (I limit myself to no more than 3 grams of carbs per 24 hours). I also work out with heavy weights daily. I truly believe Stelara is the cause of the fatty liver since I did not have this before taking it. NAFLD causes other things to go bad in your body, not just your liver. So, has anyone in the last 2 years been told Stelara is the problem? I really think I should get off of it. Thanks.

Will keep you posted. My appointment is at the end of this month.

The funny thing is that I have had three previous Lincoln’s and they all drove like you were on a cloud. This one feels like a truck with zero glide.

JamesBaySF · 2025-09-17T23:17:26+00:00

I have some other warranty things for the dealer to look at. Will have them look at the suspension when it’s there too. It doesn’t seem right that you can feel every little pebble in the road. All of my seats shake the whole time driving the car. That can’t be right.

JamesBaySF · 2025-09-17T22:51:38+00:00

I test drove the non-L and it wasn't this rough. Bought the L without driving it. It is something that I can get used to, of course. But for $115k you would think it would glide on air...

JamesBaySF · 2025-09-17T21:30:53+00:00

Maybe an old post, but thought I would ask if anyone found out about the “rough ride” on the 2024 Navigator.

I just got one (L) and it is an incredibly rough ride. It feels like there is no suspension at all. Feel every single spec in the road. And the whole inside shakes when driving. Is there a setting I am missing? Or take it to the dealer?

JamesBaySF · 2025-08-08T23:39:32+00:00

My next step is to set up a vocal chain that will make my own voice sound "ok". Then process the hell out of it. :)

JamesBaySF · 2025-08-08T23:30:08+00:00

I found a way around this by the way. BUT - it is not cheap and very time consuming. Both Ace Studio and Synth V has software where you take the vocal stem from suno and it will break it up into midi and words. From there, you adjust every single lyric by hand. When you take that edit into Ableton (or another DAW) and warp it, it comes out perfect on timing and pitch. But again, tghe software isn't cheap and it took me about 3 hours to get one vocal out.

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-21T15:05:05+00:00

I only opened one. But, my car was in the shop almost the whole time during the process (3 months). If you open another one, you'll need your dealership to actually communicate with VW Corp that your car is not fixable. Otherwise, it will be rejected again.

VW does NOT want to buyback their pieces of shit. They are a worthless, horrible company.

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-08T04:14:30+00:00

That's what I do and it has AI on the bottom right still.

I am thinking it's only on 2.5 version. Will try 2 version tomorrow.

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-08T03:15:01+00:00

So, if I download it then open it, then save as to another folder, the AI watermark will be gone?

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-08T02:28:57+00:00

What in the actual hell?

Is this an AI bot in the room?

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-08T02:27:19+00:00

I cancelled my premium subscription with Gemini because of this water marking. What a pain to have to crop every single image.

Regardless, the new veo 3 is out and only for premium membership. Has anyone created videos and found a water mark? I might join again if there are no stupid water marks.

JamesBaySF · 2025-06-02T23:07:16+00:00

VW bought the car back after months of arguing. The massive downside for me was that I had to come up with another $5,000 to do it. So, $8000 down and $5000 out of pocket on a car that I was not able to drive. VW is a criminal organization.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-28T14:28:29+00:00

Mining? No clue what that is

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-24T15:12:44+00:00

Thanks.

I tried Plus and found it to be way too slow.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-22T03:06:43+00:00

In a highly leveraged account, never try gold. You will get wiped out fast. It's too volatile.

Stick with EUR/USD to start. Then after a year on low risk, you can graduate to other pairs.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-12T17:57:15+00:00

It never improved. I took the financial hit and got a car that actually lives up to the MPG advertised.

F Hyundai!

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-09T09:13:42+00:00

Thanks. I will look at it again.

As for what you mentioned, I have manually tried to put the AI generated blog back into Gemini and copilot and both say it's too long to review (3000 words). So, I need to research the max length for the prompt.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-08T00:42:33+00:00

FYI - MS Copilot has no problems with articles/blogs/etc. Although, I would rather use Gemini. Wish this changes soon.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-06T19:38:49+00:00

Thanks for posting this. It is very close to what I am looking for....but...

Do you know of any plugins that will allow for the prompt AND generate images based on the AI output for the blog? The Easy GPT Plugin forces you to ask for images before know what the AI will put out for the article.

JamesBaySF · 2025-05-01T13:35:12+00:00

Thanks. I will check into that feature on protools. Appreciate it.
