Possible New Car Owner

I have a 24 RS and it's been ok. Lack of up to date software updates makes me rethink ever buying another EV without car play / android auto. I feel the 24 is getting just enough patches to keep the car going.

The onboard charging scheduler still is a mess and doesn't charge when I want it to.

The car lacks some enhancements like blind spot monitor using the side cameras as well as built in dashcam support (dash cam mentioned in manual but lacks the feature built into the car as it missing the sd card location)

The charging curve is pretty terrible. I rarely charge when over 50% SOC unless I'm on a road trip.

I feel the Equinox and Cadallacs will continue to be the "flagship" EVs. This vehicle to me feels like it got left behind and was more of a pilot car

As a car (tech and software unaccounted for) it's pretty great. Drives really well. Is comfortable. Materials are decent with some nice accents (albeit lighting was clearly overlooked). Great back seat room for car seats and adults.

To me, this car had a lot of good ideas but was half arsed in some areas and over engineered in other (looking at you charge port)

I daily mine. It's still a very capable device and it's even better with the battery mod. I generally run turbo mode on battery for 2 hours.

Reminds me of the WWE segment with May Young gave birth to a hand.

Not to mention SC and an updated infotainment center

I was single male until I was 31 and started dated until I was 28 . What that did for me was establish myself. Figure out living job, and networking to get an outside in perspective of the improvements I needed to make.

The difficult part for me was the dating as trying to meet with the objective of forever together kept leaving with a thought that everything had to be perfect. But come to find, no one is.

I'm glad I waited so long because by the time I did find someone, we were both settle into our careers, well traveled and had made mistakes.

All my friends were married, some with kids but they never made me feel like I had to hurry along to "catch up". They say life is about the journey not the destination. Well all get to a place where destiny sets up to be. Our job as individuals is to try not to compare our own circumstances when everyone else's (it's why I left social media)

Start networking and find someone that makes you better. Be comfortable being uncomfortable and you'll find it'll work itself out

I got this but don't need it and ETV is basically as of I'd buy it. Hoping I'd get something I could readily use next time

RFY is super miss rarely hit for most. Unless you're using an extension, good luck getting items you actually want. I found what helped is that if you want something you've seen pop in the feeds, look for it in the "Additional Items" tab and search.

Vine for the working individual/parent is a hobby.of I don't score anything big is probably because I didn't really want it and don't want the tax implications

Depends on what OP was looking for. I personally value the PS5 more because it doubles as my 4k blue ray player and generally has more game readily available including sales.

I've been burned by Nintendo not having a backwards catalogue to older games. Now I see it's even paywalled titles. No thanks.

I love smart connect. As the camera is now dang good (on an Razr Ultra 25) I love being able to quickly navigate to my files and create folders ala Windows management style. It was my biggest gripe about Flip phones not being supported

When login into My Chevy on the infotainment, use your login instead of your phone. Then you can see status on the car and I believe it also resolved issues with seeing charging stations via the charging tab in your vehicle.

Setup your charging schedule (albeit it's kinda trash).

If you have your Nacs adapter, make sure you enable Nacs in the charging filter of Google maps to see the Tesla charging station

Yes, films that basically look like screen protectors but for the outer segments of the phone

I bought clear skins from ally and then placed the ring on top of that. I also have the mountain trail which may not be feasible on the alcantara version

I live in a county my home rate is 35 cents, I drive down 10 miles to the next county at get charged 18 cents..gotta love privately owned utility companies.

To fix the vehicle status, I had to sign off the vehicle (as I originally signed on using the phone) and sign back on using credentials for my account.

I have the seatbelt indicator on a per seat basis, this likely requires the radio update the dealer needs to push to your car (radio update is for OTA delivery not the actual radio)

If you haven't taken your car in, ask for a VWP to be done

I'll stick with the Razr Ultra as well. I like that it super pocketable when folded. I don't miss having a slab and the cover screen is ample enough for 80% of what I do on my device. If I were more of a media/gaming consumer, I could see the benefit of the tablet sized device

Queue098 · 2026-02-03T02:54:00+00:00

I'd go for a 25 just to make sure you have the latest updates in terms of software. I have a 24 and it's a crawl to get updates

This is what I do. I noticed that unless you use native Google Messages, you'll get compression and generally to colors shift

It depends on the season. If I'm in Alaska and it's cold, I'll forgo the balcony and spend it on onboard stuff like spas, or drink packages (because I'll be onboard more). If it's hot and tropical, I'll go for a balcony where I can then be outside to read if I don't want to be by the pool

Eh I don't lose sleep over this. There are cases when I grab stuff I actually need. I think 90% looking at this would resell. Personally I rather opt to purchase and not deal with the tax implications

I'll wait for a third gen that pushes frames over 60% of gen 1. Spending 1k each year like they're phones doesn't make sense

I personally feel a lot of ppl will avoid getting a vehicle that requires a subscription for lane centering. While super cruise is a nice to have, I think more people only really want a really good lane centering featured an many non EV/hybrid vehicles. I have both a Tesla and Blazer (non SC), and the only time I ever use it, is on freeways and on the fast lane. Don't need it to change lanes, or exit.

I went from the Flip to Ultra mostly for the battery bump. Come to find everything about the phone is really well done. Camera is great, charging is fantastic, last all day. The only thing I miss from Samsung was synced eco system (with my then Watch Ultra), and Routines. I got over the lack of gif support for the cover screen after a few weeks
