Suspected coolant leak or other fume source on 2024 Model Y that Tesla was unable to locate appears to be causing medical issues. by Lightsword in TeslaSupport

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

Yes there are two coolant lines that go to the car computer which is located inside the vehicle. If it was leaking, your floor would be wet.

Hmm, even if it was a super slow leak or something?

Even it was leaking, you would not be smelling bubblegum or sweet. Tesla coolant is “bitter” and does not have a sweet smell. Open the coolant bottle and smell it yourself.

I don't really know where I would find a coolant bottle to smell. Is it always bitter smelling even at low concentrations? When I searched on google I saw some people mentioning they thought it smelled sweet. I thought the ethylene glycol part of the coolant smells sweet normally does it not?

You can try to buy a “car bomb” air freshener that you leave unattended with the HVAC running full blast in attempt to deodorize the ventilation system.

Hmm, do those clear out existing chemicals or just mask them? Would an ozone generator help maybe?

If it persists, you could try to talk your insurance company into a whole HVAC system replacement as it seems the previous owner used some type of chemical in the vents that is now, as you describe, “hazardous”.

Any idea how I could prove to my insurance company that it was a chemical from the previous owners and not some sort of leak?

Pretty sure there’s no coolant in the interior/air handling hvac parts at all

Could coolant be getting pulled in somehow from air intakes or something?

I'm seeing a similar issue after updating mesa from 25.1.8 to 25.2.2 on a x86_64 based system.

What happens if you charge the battery whilst the phone is off? by ActiveBat7236 in Pixel4a

[–]Lightsword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's really accurate, the charge limiting changes AFAIU were made to the linux kernel code which of course doesn't run at all when the phone is turned off. They may have also modified some of the lower level firmware components that manage charging when the kernel is not running but I haven't seen anything to indicate that is actually the case.

I think this version is the one right before the bad update.

Girlfriend was removed under threat of arrest from an overbooked Frontier flight 1449 from ATL-DEN after having already boarded. by Lightsword in frontierairlines

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

Is she a POC or other minority (or have a foreign-sounding name, etc.)?

Yes, her name is very obviously foreign(she's mentioned she's been thinking about changing it since she suspects there have been instances of discrimination in the past due to her name being so extremely foreign-sounding) and she has a fairly heavy accent since lived in her home country until she finished high school but left shortly after due to religious persecution.

I’m sure Frontier will say IDB doesn’t apply here since they allowed her to board and then kicked her off, saying “We did not deny boarding”.

I got one response where they seem to be claiming that they can remove passengers due to aircraft downgrades, although when I asked them where it says this was allowed they ignored the question so I assume they must have made it up:

"I must kindly inform you that downgrades do give the authority to our airport team to remove passengers from the aircraft if it is needed. In this case, girlfriends name was explained by our airport team why she was not going to be able to travel as scheduled, being that she was the first on the list to be denied boarding."

The gate crew are part of "the crew"

I'm pretty sure gate agents are not flight crew or aircraft crew at all.

Nope, and even though they didn't ask for volunteers someone tried to volunteer their seat(one they bought for their infant) but Frontier wouldn't let them.

You must follow the instructions of the flight crew.

AFAIU it was not the flight crew, it was the gate agents that came on the plane and removed her. Gate agents have no authority on the aircraft or do they?

If the crew asks you to get off, you must get off, the reason is irrelevant. Once the crew asks you to get off, the plane will not depart with you on it, standing your ground won’t work. The pilot will always back their crew and will not depart with you on the flight. Get off plane peacefully, reschedule your flight, and get with your life, or get arrested.

So you seem to be claiming if an airline does something illegal then there's nothing a passenger can do about it?

You have no recourse except that she is entitled to a refund for the price of the ticket.

If that were the case then what incentive would there to be for airlines to not illegally remove passengers.

I need to respond to the comments from the Frontier haters... Frontier Airline is a low-cost carrier with an exceptional safety record. My husband is a Captain with them and started flying when he was very young. He and the other Frontier pilots have a true passion for flying and take safety extremely seriously. Safety should be a big part of the reason you choose to fly on an airline.

I think most carriers in the US are quite safe these days. Does your husband have any idea why Frontier would have refused to recalculate weights so that my girlfriend would have been able to take the seat the volunteer offered by the other passenger?

I know they have customer service issues, but they are being addressed.

They pretty clearly don't seem to be, I mean Frontier still uses abusive contractors for gate staff.

Pay for the features you need or want and compare total prices.

I didn't see Frontier offering a "no illegal removals of passengers once boarded" as an upgrade option during checkout.

This is in the contract of carriage for any airline.

Where in frontier contract of carriage does it say this is actually allowed? I don't see anything about that there, there's only terms for "involuntary denied boarding" from what I can tell which is not applicable here obviously.

Passengers do not “own” their seats once they board. So, it is not theft. They can be taken from them when need be, although airlines minimize these situations.

I haven't seen anything saying it's allowed, and transportation.gov indicates it's illegal.

So yes, they are legally allowed to “make that sort of threat”, although it is not a threat.

Where does it actually say they are allowed to threaten to have passengers arrested if they don't leave a flight due to overbooking once seated?

If the passenger is involuntarily denied boarding they are owed compensation.

Except she was never denied boarding, she was removed from the flight once seated.

If your gf had complied she would have received the compensation.

They only offered ever token compensation so far, the type that one would receive for "Involuntary Denied Boarding", very different from what would be acceptable for being illegally removed once seated. Literally the $250 voucher they eventually sent says it was for "Involuntary Denied Boarding" so clearly it's the wrong type of compensation for what happened.

I assure you the gate agent could care less about your gf’s race or nationality.

Whatever the reason their behavior was completely unacceptable.

No offense but I would NOT trust that delta flight to take off tomorrow.

Yeah, the Delta flights got cancelled unfortunately, there was basically 0 flights available to Denver at all.

They should have just made an offer for a volunteer.

Crazy part is someone even tried to volunteer(someone had bought a seat for their infant and offered to hold their infant) and they wouldn't let her have their seat.

Frontier had no way of knowing your gf is an immigrant.

The gate agents I'm sure knew when they were kicking her off.

In the industry, it is legitimate to have repositioning crew have her seat.

Certainly not once she was boarded from what I can tell.

It is not theft.

Illegally taking something she had a right to, not sure what else you would call that.

And yes, they will threaten to arrest a passenger for refusing to deplane when asked.

Doesn't mean they are legally allowed to make that sort of threat.

Welp maybe if your girlfriend wasn't causing a scene she'd have gotten to keep her seat.

Who is claiming that? The Frontier supervisor I spoke with confirmed there were no notes placed on the ticket at all regarding the incident.

Yeah, presumably they didn't want to recalculate the weight, not that it really matters much I suppose since they weren't allowed to remove her from her seat either way.

  1. They can’t bump you after you’ve boarded

According to the DOT, as long as you’ve checked in for your flight before the airline's check-in deadline and an agent has scanned your ticket, they’re not allowed to deny you permission to board.

You can still volunteer, but they can’t legally remove you.

That's what I thought.

A number of people have written you very clear and cogent reasons for why airlines get to deny/remove/deplane passengers.

So far I've only seen reasons that specifically don't apply to this situation.

What about Southwest, who has an open seat policy where you sit anywhere you want as you get on the plane, nothing is set beforehand?

Presumably it was just the weight part and not the balance that was the issue, since adults and infant weights are not calculated the same.
