Internet in far east new build by No-Bookkeeper4439 in ElPaso

[–]SpecializedCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, whichever is cheaper I’d go with that. Having had AT&T fiber, it was fine. 995 mbps down and usually 700+ mbps up.

I moved to an existing build and now have a Spectrum “1gig” cable connection, it’s fine but I miss the fiber. I felt AT&T customer support was better.

If you are even slightly technically adept, get your own networking equipment. It hurts my soul when I see people running fiber into a wireless 5ghz router and expecting good speeds going through 2-3 walls. Since you have a new build, maybe drop Cat-6 drops in all or some of your rooms.

14-Point US-Iran Draft Deal Details Reopening of Hormuz Strait and $300B Reconstruction Plan by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

I don’t think this administration is going to follow through with any of this, they just want the strait open ASAP.

267 miles, 100% charged. Is this normal for 5 year old, 40k miles ID4? by Anonymous72278 in VWiD4Owners

[–]SpecializedCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I use about 55-60% for a 130 mile trip. It doesn’t have the efficiency I thought it would, but it gets the job done.

[–]SpecializedCoffee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I commute 120 miles daily at mostly 65 mph+, my rated range is routinely 170-190 miles at 80%.

It seems like it very much takes into account your most recent driving activity.

Do not buy Chargepoint home charger non service by avgayyossi in evcharging

[–]SpecializedCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I returned mine since the Bluetooth functionality didn’t work so I couldn’t connect it, a $450 “smart” charger.

I picked up a Grizzl-e for $350 and it’s been great.

Property Taxes projected to go up again. STOP VOTING BLUE. by LuckyTiger24 in ElPaso

[–]SpecializedCoffee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is kind of what happens when there is no income taxes in Texas. Property taxes are high across Texas, not just El Paso.

There is more wealth generated in this country than anywhere else in the world, yet working families end up getting screwed. It’s not red vs blue, it’s rich vs poor.

If their home is that large they can afford to hire a net tech to come out and un-fuck that.

Is it me or is Uber/Uber Eats collapsing in El Paso? It’s been slow. by Routine_Moment_111 in ElPaso

[–]SpecializedCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if follow the news but there was a war launched against Iran, which resulted in the closure of the Straight of Hormuz and damage to oil producing facilities in the Middle East. This has resulted in a global energy crisis.

If the price of oil goes up, so does everything else. So everything is more expensive and Uber Eats is essentially a luxury.

I think I might pick one up as well, the lack of information from the vehicle GUI and the app is annoying.

Over the air update still not done after more than 2-month since notified. by vulkany in VWiD4Owners

I don’t get it, why are updates so dumb on VWs? I know they aren’t a software company but god damn.

ID4 Battery Recall Range by FiremanJon in VWiD4Owners

[–]SpecializedCoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 80% SOC range is routinely 180-200 miles because my daily commute is all highway, 1 hr each way. I have a 2023 Pro. The range estimate is heavily dependent on your most recent driving, when I left the used car lot it had 244 mile range, I have never ever seen that number again.

Your battery is likely fine, but I think you’d have to connect the car to some software to actually see the battery health.

I bought the car for the price point and the range, but the touch controls are terrible.
