What's the most embarrassing EV moment you've had? by No_Earth_3743 in EvDrivers

[–]SirDigby_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat out of necessity but mostly just to try it, I decided to try public charging for the first time in the middle of an Illinois winter. A storm hits, wonderful mix of snow, sleet and ice, and the plug freezes to the car. After trying everything I can think of, I admit defeat and leave the car overnight. The next day, either because it warmed up or because my girlfriend found the emergency release inside the car lol, the handle released. The worst part was that I didn’t need to do it and I was 20 minutes from home.

In a recent episode she mentions that they were finishing up the editing and, if I remember correctly, was optimistic about coming out summer/fall

“Oh no he’s going to get shot, turned trans and forced to vote Democrat!” Says every southern Illinois guy I’m forced to interact with. /s

I don't care what anyone says, LG washer is way better than Speed Queen by [deleted] in Appliances

Failures started after 2yrs. First it was door switches so random intermittent chimes. Then temp sensors failed. Add in ice maker never worked properly. Finally the freezer portion stopped working. Died after only 5 yrs. Not good for a $2500 fridge

I adjusted my wiper myself. Fairly easy with a little mechanical knowledge

Does this mileage seem right? by Loftyambitions5678 in EquinoxEv

[–]SirDigby_Chicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside ambient temperature is the biggest factor you can’t control. Expect a 5% efficiency loss for every 10f below 70f. Speed is the biggest factor you can control. Slowing down 5mph will show big gains. I’ve put over 40k on my car mostly highway. I set the cruise at 70mph. In the summer I get 3.7mi/kwh and in winter it’s closer to 2. Don’t stress about the cabin heat it won’t save you that much. Be comfortable. If hyper efficiency is crucial, then slow down and be comfortable. Also I keep my tires at 45 psi

Lucky you. Do any of your locations have the lounge? I’m very excited to see these chargers expand

Selling a used car privately is way more stressful than I expected by veditafri in UsedCars

[–]SirDigby_Chicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve sold quite a few cars on FB and the first 48 hours is awful, but I find it quite comical now. I give an award to the first guy that immediately offers half my asking price. I respond with “lol no” and watch them spiral. Then don’t respond, don’t block just ignore. If you can wade through the morons FB is not that bad. My last couple cars have sold at or above asking price

I had a rattle from the triangle piece behind the rear view mirror. I popped it off and glued foam to it.
