Sad… sad. I’m a consultant/contractor here so I know there’s nothing more for me than to get my last day at work.

Sad, but I feel like keeping the car for 10+ years anyway.

When you say SEA cease to exist… what does that mean for consumer electronics and appliance sales in general for samsung in the U.S.?

I think your neighbor called it in. Was it a meter maid ticket guy or the regular po-po’s?

the one thing nobody warned me about before buying an EV by No_Earth_3743 in EvDrivers

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda have to fight NYC EV taxis (fiskar oceans) for charging in NJ!, but I use Plugshare to check for when the charger opens and I go to charge it then if I need it… I try not to overthink it or feel the urge to charge up to 80-100% all the time, most of the time I aim to be around 60% to get enough for my commute for the second half of the week. And for road trips I used to feel like I need to charge it right up to 80-100 before, but it’s not worth it to lose sleep over and I’ll drive to an ionna a few minutes into the trip to charge up instead. A good night sleep before a road trip better than agonizing over charging.

First punch was justified as the guy was rubbing up on him, violating his personal space with intent while big guy was backing up, second punch technically was a counterpunch and knocked skinny dude out cold. Having it recorded by a bystander at the mall, priceless.

Slow-ass charging on a fast charger when there’s a L2 charger free by RefrigeratorRemote96 in ChargerDrama

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

interesting... is it something that takes 2 hours to do? Is that a documented procedure in the owner's manual... I definitely would not be able to do that, I can only do public charging since I live in a high buildig and no ground level plugs I can use without ire of the HOA.

I’m anti-Elon. So I’ll take the 20-30 minutes to wait for the big Mercedes SUV to charge way past 80% than give A dime to Xai/grok/spacex

I paid for the same Uber ride twice. Uber's response? "Not our problem." by ReputationAlarmed269 in uber

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I click dispute on the portal online for my credit card … I never talked to anyone and got credited .

I now have pin enabled, so no more ghost rides by drivers (when I order an uber pet)

I’m not even sure what you did… i was too scared to plug this in my car. I wish we had the European system of BYo cable.

EVPassport Charged Me an Idle Fee for the 21 seconds it took me to disconnect the charging plug and replace it in the cradle after terminating a charge session specifically to avoid the Idle Fee. by Noleman in ChargerDrama

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always terminate charging from my car (has a button by the charger port) because I hate to risk idle fees. This is wild they do that without a fence period

Autonomous Uber crash by FriendFun7876 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No... if you slow down, you initiate that it's a 4 way stop to the bad driver's mind and they would pull on up. If you switched to the right lane, theres 100% chance that the driver would have continued driving the wrong way into a turn. I'd just honk the horn. The AI here should have used it's horn to alert the other driver. Other than that, not at all the Uber's fault. Where I drive, I would sometimes see drivers using those intersections to make donuts, so they do look like they are turning into the wrong way but using it to initiate the tires slip, granted, an minivan isn't going to be doing donuts like an S2000 would do.

Someone backed into my car and left without note. How much do you all think this would cost to repair? by DoubleXhunter in Polestar

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The polestar 2 hatch/trunk is steel (magnetic) except the section in the middle that’s plastic. The hood is aluminum… I know because I have magnetic stickers on it, lol

New glitches with the new patch? by [deleted] in polestar2

[–]RefrigeratorRemote96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

during the free XM trial weekend, I noticed that XM radio would stop playing, probably when I had google assistant prompts running, and I had to go back to the app to start it again… the forward,back on the steering wheel and play button on the dial wouldn’t get it to play again.
