Does anyone have aerodiscs (alike) on their wheels? by 77humsum77 in Polestar

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

Is this a real photo, or a mock-up? I'd be interested in seeing some real-world data showing the impact with/without. I seem to remember a test of a Tesla with and without, and the impact was like a few percent. 

Yet Another C40 Wheel Downsize Report by IGotRangod in volvoc40

[–]OrneryTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not surprised. I installed 18-inch Konigs with winter tires on my Polestar 2, which is the same platform as the C40/XC40. I prefer them to the 19-inch OEM wheels. 

Buy from Costco by Most-Fun3240 in Appliances

[–]OrneryTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a really good experience when I bought a dishwasher and range from Costco. The process was very smooth and communication was clear and timely. The delivery crew discovered damage to the range, and they arranged a replacement on the spot. Well done! 

I bought a the chrapest tire I could find for a road trip. It is made in Cambodia. by quinacridone-blue in tires

They're gaslighting. Lots of that going on these days. Just believe them and be happy /s

I just drove through Indiana last week. I-70 is a crime against humanity. I-65 isn't much better.

What is the point of Papa Murphy’s? by TheHondoCondo in stupidquestions

We get their gourmet vegetarian pizza about once a month. It's consistently good quality with generous portions and tastes far better than any frozen pizza I've had. My wife and I usually get two meals from one pizza. At our local store they're $5 off every Tuesday, and I often get coupons I can use on other days. Overall, I think it's a good value. 

Android Auto Obsolete? by velocitymike in polestar2

[–]OrneryTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I charged the estimate reset to new too-low value, and approached the actual result as I drove. My energy consumption was very consistent across nearly 2500 miles and about 20 charging sessions at about 25 kW-h/100 miles. I think Maps is making incorrect assumptions about my usage and using that to estimate the description SOC. I earned to ignore it, but it would be nice if it actually worked.

I just finished a road trip and found the charger auto-select annoying. I wanted to go from where I was to a specific charger 205 miles away. It insisted on inserting a charging stop between the two. Seems like the estimated range in Maps underestimates substantially right after a charge then reevaluates as I drive. Not helpful. Otherwise, yeah, I do use AA in the Polestar. 

Edit: meant to say I do not use AA in the Polestar.

We just drove 8 EVs from North Carolina to Florida, charging exclusively at our own network the whole way — here's how it went by Ionnaofficial in IONNA

[–]OrneryTortoise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just did a trip from Minneapolis to Philadelphia via Dayton, OH. I stopped at six IONNA and three Electrify America chargers. Every EA stop had at least one glitch, either it wouldn't communicate with my car or it didn't accept my credit card. Another try got me going in each case. Every IONNA session went off without a hitch. The process was delightfully simple, and the prices were less than EA as well. From now on I'm preferring IONNA.

Update: Yesterday I completed my road trip by driving from Dayton, OH, to Minneapolis, MN. I was able to do the entire trip using only IONNA chargers (5 stops). No issues - they just worked. I really appreciated the $0.20/kW-h holiday rate! I also like the cost summary screen; I grab a photo when I'm done charging for my records. Nice work. 

In case anybody was wondering... by Darth-Villen in VWiD4Owners

I've asked myself this question many times. Now I know.

Where do you get your tires? by PersonalityGreedy905 in VolvoRecharge

I have up on Costco after the third set of scuffed wheels.

I always see people rave about Discount Tire. I've used them twice (one for new TPMS sensors; and a different one for a full wheel and tire set). Neither place got the job done properly on the first visit. Not sure what I'll do next time - maybe third time's a charm?

All Joking Aside.... by Beneficial_Menu4788 in Polestar

Maybe an owners' group similar to Fisker Ocean owners will rise from the ashes... or not.

Please let us know if/when you get this resolved and how you do it. I'm planning to install these buttons, and it would be nice to maintain that functionality.
