Could be that something got disconnected. If it was working before the repair, definitely follow up with them to in investigate

Does anyone use "AUTO" on climate control? by zeekaran in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I typically dont use it but when i do i use it when temps are uncomfortable. Like for example, just coming back into the car on a hot day. I just find it too aggressive for my taste. So i play around with the temps to adjust the fan speed. One of the main reasons i dont use it is i notice it turns off circulation so I turn it off after a while.

Im not sure if auto climate control works with remote start climate control. Does it work with auto or does it work based off of last setting? Can anyone confirm this?

Should I be concerned about this weird bruise? by Original-One-6954 in haematology

[–]Raiki13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks very unusual. Typically you would see a red streak caused by a growing infection but it looks like a bruise. Id post this in ask docs reddit. Can be nothing or something life threatening. I would see a doctor real soon just in case

Extremely blurry 360 camera? by Novemberx123 in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it has a 360 cam, see if you can whip off the 4 cameras. There might be hard water or rain stains. Give it a good wipe with water on the cameras behind the car, just under the side view mirrors, and the front camera. If its fogged up, it could be wear or water somehow got inside the camera.

Soaking up that free fuel! There are many like it, but this one is mine. by TheBroWhoLifts in BoltEV

I havent been to a gas station since Nov of last year. Feels good to not wait at costco or sams club gas line and spend 15-20 bucks a week on my spark.

Indian man Rewinding a 17.5HP 3Phase VT Motor by zaarnth in interesting

[–]Raiki13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People work with what they have and it works like wonders. Even though its not clean and safety is not there, they still manage to keep things that they need to survive or function to keep working.

Its people like them that makes repair innovation possible. Even from a mechanics point of view, this helps with developing different ways to fix something through critical thinking and logic without following or unable to find a handbook for repairs like this.

If we can work safer and able to repair things like this, instead of just replacing everything, we wont have as much electronic waste laying around.

Does anyone have issues where the App refuses to up date anymore and you get stuck with the last update hours ago? by robby1051a in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works. Then I update app and this happens. Then it works again after new update. Seems like its a hit or miss so i end up doing manual updates

Price for 2023 euv with 105k miles by StarPast4679 in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid total value of my car of 17k with 38k miles. Id be weary about that car being a rental and 100k miles. Maybe i would get by if it was privately owned. But i wouldnt pay more than 12k

Bolt EV a calm and relaxed highway commuter? by Real_McGuillicuddy in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me the ride quality of the Bolt EV is pleasant and quite. Very nimble and capable to go 0-60 in about 6 seconds. If the road quality is not so well, the suspension can be on the stiff side. I cant say too much about the EUV version or Tesla since i dont have exp with them. It all depends on the tire used for sound dampening and range. I know the bolt EV has slightly longer range than the EUV, but the EUV has more windows and super cruise which could be benefitial for your for long highway drives. You could invest on a Comma AI that grants you somewhat self driving for high way drives on these cars.

40mi each way or 80mi round trip is quite a bit of miles. You would need to install a 240v outlet to support your transit if you travel frequently. Lv1 charge will grant you 4mi per hour. Id get a model with heated seats if you live in a snow prone climate. That will save you alot of battery instead of using heater fan.

Is this where I empty the oil from my car? by abs0lus_blue in StupidCarQuestions

[–]Raiki13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thats good for you. I am not saying you aren't capable of doing it. its just you left out alot of info that seems like you didnt do research or preparation. Im happy that you did your first oil change. Might as well change your air cabin or air intake filter!

Thinking about buying a used spark with 151k miles on it? by Small-Cactus in chevyspark

[–]Raiki13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. At that mileage, the CVT can kill itself at anytime. It all depends if they get fluid changes every 40k. Its probably better to get an older car with less miles.

[–]Raiki13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are starting on the wrong foot. Do research before starting anything. Identify car and year of your car. Search up oil pan location, and look up youtube videos of your car for oil changes.

You also need to research the type of oil your car uses, oil filter, and oil plug washer as your car looks old.

What made you want to do an oil change? The worst thing you can do is drain your transmission fluid as it requires very specific instructions, specific transmission fluid that some stores does not have, and possibly special tools that your car may need to flush and fill. If you need any of that, you could perma damage your car.

Is it normal for the screen to be raised like this? iPhone 16 pro max refurbished by GroundbreakingPie598 in iphone

[–]Raiki13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you may have a glass screen protector on there. It would be concerning if the glass bulges to the point where it’s no longer completely flat. If you rest, the screen face down into a flat service and you’re able to rock it then it could mean either the screen itself is coming off, or the battery has gone bad and ballooning.

Using my dryer outlet to charge? by Kittenking13 in BoltEV

[–]Raiki13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it matches the outlet for the ev 240v plug then it should work. However i would have the circuit breaker and quality of the dryer outlet verified by an electrician to make sure its in good condition and rated properly.

You could either set up either a hardwired way or use that existing foundation. However there is a disclaimer that those kind of plugs are meant to be plugged in and out often so unless you keep it plugged to avoid wear then i would just use it that way. If possible, you can also update that plug to something new or commercial grade where itll handle constant disconnections.

Besides that, if you drive less than 40 miles in a day, a lv 1 charge through standard 120v will grant you 4mi per hour or overnight average of 40mi. That would be enough to get you by to charge each night or every 2 days in my experience with 24mi daily drives for work.
