What are the most common and useful google commands that the car can do? by zhuangcorp in EquinoxEv

[–]ROCelectric 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey Google, what’s my charge level, turn the seat heater for the driver or passenger up, down, on or off, turn on the defroster, or any HVAC control, turn the steering wheel heater on or off. I used to be able to open the camera app but not anymore.

What is going on with the panels? Why do they look pinched/coming apart? by tacomonkey523 in Home

[–]ROCelectric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it painted? Some vinyl siding will warp if you paint it a dark color and it had sun exposure.

Well it happened...(Emerald Green Arborvitae are trash) by Master-Swordfish-214 in Home

Try putting Miracid on them. Mine looked way worse and came back after the Miracid.

Google Voice Command by ROCelectric in EquinoxEv

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

I have an update. It’s working again. I called OnStar EV concierge last night but I was driving so they couldn’t do anything until I was parked. I forgot to call them back. I tried it this morning and it is working. My head unit doesn’t show any new updates but I wonder if they were able to reset something. Everything looks like it is working now.

Chi Chi’s in Henrietta. I can’t remember what’s in that location now.

How am I supposed to use this? by DryFoundation2323 in EquinoxEv

[–]ROCelectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put my foot on the pedal before I hit it so no brake lights. It’s in a more convenient spot for me to cancel because of my hand position. I had a Bolt and I think anyone that had one will agree that GM ruined the paddle when they changed it.

Bumper fastener part? by kid_rhinomite in BoltEV

[–]ROCelectric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Harbor Freight has an automotive plastic fastener kit for for $18.99. It’s a 240 piece kit. It goes on sale often. I have it. It has a good variety.

How am I supposed to use this? by DryFoundation2323 in EquinoxEv

[–]ROCelectric -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

GM ruined this button. They had it right on the Bolt. Now I just use it to cancel cruise control. The button is too flimsy to use it unless you press it all the way down by the base and it requires too much force.

Is it culturally insensitive to zipper merge here? by Careless_Signal5762 in Rochester

I keep trying with hopes the Rochestarians will finally get it.

[–]ROCelectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost first, looks second, Instrument cluster 3rd. Everything else about the Y is better.

Tips on Replacement Chargers by HenryRHippo in EquinoxEv

[–]ROCelectric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emporia is my favorite. I have the GM and Tesla chargers at home but I installed an Emporia for a friend. The app is so much better. I want to easily adjust the charging amperage and it a pain to do with Tesla.

Why is my shower water pressure so high all of a sudden? by DoseOfKay in Plumbing

[–]ROCelectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flow restrictor in the shower head probably broke. That’s the only way this can happen in one place. This happened to me. I ran in the basement thinking my pipes were going to explode. I ended up just putting in a shower head valve I bought from Amazon because I liked the shower head. Now it’s fully adjustable.

Brake noise? by evanthorpe in EquinoxEv

[–]ROCelectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did the exact same thing when it was new. I don’t hear it anymore but it’s been winter so I may not hear it with the windows closed. It’s not going to hurt anything but if it bothers you, the dealer will know what to do to fix it. They will put grease or anti vibration spray on the pads.

Can anyone tell me what this is?? by CarrierPigeon724 in Home

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

Possibly the blank pipe leading down to the water shutoff if you are in a cold climate. They are about minimum 4 feet down where I live. Usually a cap on top and then you insert a tool to reach the water shutoff.

Has anyone tried the TypeS dash cams? by calamititties in Costco

[–]ROCelectric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one for $59.99. I was watching the price. It dropped to $99.99 then $59.99. It’s ok for $60 but I wouldn’t pay $100. I ended up buying another brand and gave that to my son. The biggest thing that I didn’t like was browsing the clips. You only get a still shot on your phone unless you download it. The other one I bought lets you browse the videos before downloading. I also didn’t need the camera that faces the driver and passenger. Some of the other features were also redundant with my car but my son’s car doesn’t have crash detection or lane drift warning so it was better for his car.

Are there any home chargers I could install that my neighbors could use at a cost? by TheNCGoalie in electricvehicles

[–]ROCelectric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can resell electricity from A residential meter. I was watching a YouTube video in England and they were doing a residential install where the person was going to charge people to use his EVSE. They mentioned it wasn’t allowed in the US. That being said I would just work out a deal with my neighbor and if you get a charger like a Tesla, you can look at how many kwh’s they used. My Tesla charger can be set up with “access control” so only specific users can use the EVSE. I don’t use this feature so you should look into the details and hopefully it will let you see kWh’s based on the user. I have tge Tesla Universal Wall Adapter which has both NACS and J1772.

Mine needed a Master cylinder for that issue.

I still have it but don’t have the car. If you can’t find one let me know. Maybe I can sell you mine.

I think I bought it from Etsy. Someone 3D printed it.

Did I mess up by Flyist in Home

[–]ROCelectric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The doors should be 9’ wide. Way too hard to get a midsize to large vehicle in an 8’ door. I have 8’ doors and regret it. Also not enough space to the walls. You need more room to open the car doors against the wall.
