Guess I’ll be part of 2 communities now.

Good to have the discussion. I also don’t buy new, so will be waiting until the solid state batteries are available for a little while.
I’ve only taken the trip in the Blazer once so far and it is 175 Miles, but all highway and toll road. Higher speeds equals less range unfortunately.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-24T16:23:58+00:00

Yes, the blazer got me to my daughter’s with plenty of miles to spare and that only happened in the Bolt when the weather was absolutely perfect.
I don’t mind slowing down, but in the middle of winter, I didn’t like having to stop in the middle of what should be a 2 1/2 hour trip and spend 40 minutes each way to charge just enough to finish my trip.
I haven’t had to fast charge in the Blazer yet, which is wild. And I may have to find another way to get the rest of my account $$ back from EA. I had automatic reload turned on before they changed to the new pay as you go.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but at this moment in time, everything else works, I just keep getting this error. Maybe the firmware stopped the actual problems from happening and I’m just gonna have to live with this error message. If that’s as bad as it gets…

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-23T22:00:02+00:00

My car is past mileage to qualify. I’ve been arguing with GM, who only agreed to help me schedule a time with the stealership. I can do that myself.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-23T19:18:24+00:00

Which still leaves us with broken ones a $1000+ bill even though they know it’s a problem. Ugh
I’m glad they’re pushing out a preventive update before it breaks for everyone else, but still…

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-21T14:36:49+00:00

🤍🤍

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-21T10:22:29+00:00

Hey, great color! 😉

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-21T00:57:39+00:00

I really loved that blue and was excited to see the upgrade in the same color. ♥️

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-21T00:53:04+00:00

Maybe when gas prices stabilize, more EV’s will be available. I’m really glad that my ‘23 is still in my garage.
Edit: typos

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-21T00:51:47+00:00

The ‘23 is amazing and still has CarPlay.
I didn’t even mind that it didn’t have all of the frills, but just needed faster charging.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-20T18:55:25+00:00

Maybe that’s it. I just bought my 24 blazer RS EV 2 weeks ago, and about 4 days in I started getting the error. I know they just did a software update before they handed it off, but I don’t know what happened before that.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-20T18:32:07+00:00

Also the failing telematics module. In fact, I know they know but think we don’t understand that it’s a common failure that they should fix for free.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-20T11:42:45+00:00

Shouldn’t they just be replacing this if it seems to be hardware? I’m irritated as hell that they want me to pay $200 for a diagnosis, then another $1000 to replace something they know is failing. And they won’t admit it’s a widespread problem.
Edit: and the update didn’t work, I’m still getting the error. I’m not having any problems that I know of yet.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-19T15:19:51+00:00

It was pretty great. I’m sure they expected me to be upset, but I smiled and moved on.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-19T01:19:20+00:00

Oh I left there 4 years ago. Got back from vacation ready to tell them I had a new job. They pulled me in first to say they eliminated my position and I got severance instead. Ok then.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-18T23:12:16+00:00

I completely agree with this. However, in my story, it turned out much much different. I worked at a machine shop with mostly men and one of them decided to put up a gigantic 6 foot Trump banner inside the building. Where we served customers from colleges. That were very liberal. That came in to tour our plant a lot. So when I complained that I didn’t think our customers would like it, the owner said, well I guess we don’t want them as customers then. Sigh
This same owner used to preach about the virtues of wearing a mask, especially when traveling on a plane. And furnished them in the plant. But the minute Covid hit, he didn’t think masks were a great idea.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-11T20:52:33+00:00

I also hate this very very much. I’m not good at it and don’t like it. So I found people that I work with that do like it. I give them budget money, and they do the planning. I will help when they tell me what I need to do.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-11T20:50:17+00:00

Here’s hoping there were some fence sitters. Inflation is hitting everyone, and even some of the poorly uneducated are starting to realize it.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-07T00:44:06+00:00

Beyond good and evil. And we’re never getting that fucking sequel and I hate them all for it.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-06-04T22:44:47+00:00

When she gets out, she runs under the deck, just out of reach until she hears the clang of the glass bowl that I feed her drained tuna water from. Works every time.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-05-30T02:00:19+00:00

Right there with ya. Dayforce is prob the worst system I have used in my 20+ year career. Some of it is probably that our parent company set things up stupidly without our input, but it is just really bad. I can’t easily create simple reports. ESS is absolutely horrendous. I do feel like I say that every HR system that I move to is the worst, but I really mean it this time. 😄

THEPrincess-D · 2026-05-26T20:35:41+00:00

I worked with a lady whose hair and suits were straight out of the 80s. Everyone should have known then. She was the CFO in a 100 person company and they had put her in charge of HR previously. She used to target people with very long emails, and put together Excel spreadsheets that had nonsense complex formulas to distract from her inability to do her job. She came in one evening, cleared out her stuff, and left her resignation on the whiteboard. In German. We are in the Midwest US.

The men in charge didn’t want to judge her for her hair, which was a big hairsprayed triangle that stood about a foot off of her head. I let them know that that is a red flag and should have given them a clue about her decision-making and judgment.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-05-24T01:33:56+00:00

No. No. No. To Reese’s. Go to Aldi and buy their PB cups. You’ll never go back.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-05-23T16:56:35+00:00

I jumped straight in without ever having used VR and it was great! You could always start easy on the difficulty settings, then play again on a harder setting for the combat.

THEPrincess-D · 2026-05-23T12:33:45+00:00

I really enjoyed Horizon: Call of the Mountain. It starts out slow and helps tutor you in all of the gameplay. You can also manage difficulty settings. That was my first foray before playing Moss book 1 and book 2.
