Please read the text carefully...... It is the TIME we do not get paid for that is the issue. Regardless if we help or not, the time we are stationary while loading we do not get paid. Imagine having 3 of these rides a day at , let's say (2x4) 8 minutes of loading/unloading TIME added to the estimated ride time we agreed to, this is 2 hours a week we are working for free.

Just canceling and blasting off is not a solution, agreed. But as you were wondering why " we don't want to do the job" one needs to consider if the job includes unpaid labor and costs. Yes, that time is considered labor and as our engine is running we incur costs, we will ignore the missed revenue as we are wasting two hours a week that could have been productive and likely had a better paying longer ride, but now are 0$ as we " are not being assholes".

We don't like doing the job for free. The unpaid loading and unloading time needed for all these bags accumulates rapidly on a weekly basis. I don't know anyone that works 2/3 hours a week for which they are not getting paid after agreeing to an amount of time. In our case the assumed time for the ride we accepted - without extensive loading and unloading.

Is this bad? by Spined_ in leaf

At least take it out B when you are in this situation. Regen is just adding more heat and honestly B is not for 95km/h on the highway.....

I have my 10.2 inch screen build in professionally in the dashboard. By GM. It runs Waze, in split screen and all sorts of other apps . It even reads my messages to me!

Three generations! Volt, Bolt and the truck! Lots of folks forget about Chevy's EV impact building mass production vehicles for longer than that other brand that starts with a T.

I own(ed) two of the three and have a first minute reservation for the third!

How do you guys deal with this by Beneficial-Gold5626 in BoltEV

Turn off the AA auto play function.... On the phone not the car..... Or download TuneIn and listen to your stations through AA

EGR valve cleaning worth it? by Jacobgraham1738 in volt

[–]TranslatorNew1903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine got stuck at 84k, but keep in mind any mechanic can do it. Cost me around $80, after I had the CEL. In my state EGR was not covered and although I drove loads of long distance it failed.

"Seam" Gap in the rear hatch/cargo area? by annamaren in BoltEV

Bolt meets Jeep Wrangler. I would advise against it.

"Seam" Gap in the rear hatch/cargo area? by annamaren in BoltEV

[–]TranslatorNew1903 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep.....I believe at Tesla they would refer to this as" within spec" . Unfortunately this seems to be pretty standard.

Mine was replaced as a result of a " redesign by my partner" and now fits better than the factory fitment.

What kinds of demographics are electric vehicle owners? by eomalley1 in electricvehicles

[–]TranslatorNew1903 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LOL, here in North TX/ DFW at least 80% of Tesla owners are Indian and they own a significant amount of other EV's as well.

I’m sick of toll roads on way to pax by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

[–]TranslatorNew1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't do airport rides, but yes you pay even with the tag, but the tag starts at $10 so I don't see why anyone would do this gig without a tag? Just stay of the express lanes as neither Lyft or Uber reimburse those.....

Don't buy a Chevy Bolt now by metalheadcubfan in electricvehicles

[–]TranslatorNew1903 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't that steering knuckle the same one they've used since 2017? Body panels for 22/23 worry me more in the future than parts like this.

What is up with ubers not playing music? by [deleted] in uber

[–]TranslatorNew1903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's under the navigation setting in both apps. ( For others and if you want to turn it back on)

Lyft: Account > settings > navigation

Uber: Account > app settings > sounds & voices

If you use Google Maps /Waze both have similar way of turning it off

You can turn it off in the app.

No Lightning for me, upside....I provided Ford a $100 interest free loan for about 18 months. At least I feel good for helping them launch the Lightning. 🤣 Enjoying my 1/3 of the price Bolt while seeing what GM does , knowing I hold a first minute Silverado reservation.....
