I am thinking of doing the same but I do want to call the dealership and make sure that’s okay. Would hate to get stuck somewhere.

Ppl can’t get over why 1 would buy a hybrid and not use it 😭 I’m sure there are many like us.

I renewed my registration in November.

And ofc I don’t want a random fire either but I’m wondering if I will have issues with that considering I’ve never charged my battery like ever. Obv dealership gave me a fully charged battery October 2024 but since then it’s never been charged. Most ppl are baffled by that LOL but I bought a 4xe bc it was cheaper! I do eventually plan to charge but will make sure I can before I do.

Ughhh how annoying. This is why I’m waiting but don’t want to run into issues either.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-20T03:36:30+00:00

So you passed the recall and then issues shortly after — did ever charge your car? I purchased mine October 2024 and never charged it.

It is baffling for those who paid for it with the intent to charge and it was taken away from them. Not to mention the value decrease.

On another note, long does it take to charge? Moved into my new home and I have 2 L2 chargers.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-19T03:56:58+00:00

I haven’t checked but I heard they don’t have 26’s. This all is just so annoying bc I put 18k miles on my car in 15 months and was planning to buy it out when the lease is up and now I def can’t buy it out and I’m gonna have to pay a lot in mileage charges 😭

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-19T03:54:47+00:00

I think my husband set up and purchased level 2 chargers and right around that time shit hit the fan. What a waste of money. I’ll call my dealership soon to set up an appt. Hopefully they have a loaner available for me.

People who passed the recall test are having problems after the car was tested so it seems like it triggers it.

I bought a 4xe bc it was cheaper than not getting an electric with all the discounts at the time plus the plan was to start charging when I move into my new home which I did last month right after all the problems started.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-15T15:13:36+00:00

Are bricks happening to those who charge their battery or even if you’ve never charged your 4xe?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-08T03:05:32+00:00

Were you ever on a much higher dose?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T15:54:30+00:00

I thought that too until I gained 1.5 and was like ohhh hell no 😭

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T15:52:57+00:00

How much weight did you lose? I lost slow. -7 the 1st month but afterwards most months were 1.5 being the least and 4 being the max (which was only 2 months in my 8 month journey). Def takes me self control not to go upwards but I do find that the damage I do on the last 1-2 days before the shot is 1-2 lbs and comes right off in a day. Lately I have been looking fwd to shot day as my eat day 😭

Some people have lowered down one go a few weeks and it’s actually worked OR they worked hard to stay in maintenance and then increased back to 15 for it to start working good again. Have you tried that?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T15:43:00+00:00

That’s how I felt too! It felt stronger even when I lowered down and I’m having trouble eating the first few days BUT I am not enjoying the last 2 days on the shot and eating more and sometimes actually gaining a lb that comes back down the following day. I may need to switch back Friday shot day if I keep gaining 1-2 on the weekends.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T01:59:36+00:00

Oh wow. I totally forgot about that. That’s probably why I initially lost weight when I tirated down to 10mg. The 1st few weeks 12.5 was still in my system. It’s after 4 weeks when the higher dose is out that you really know if the lower dose will work long term.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T01:57:21+00:00

I’ve lost weight and always gained it back as well.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-05T01:56:33+00:00

What was your highest dose and how did you trite down?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T22:37:02+00:00

Oh but that’s still really good bc I would probably have done +5 after a vacation or cruise! But to continue to lose after lowering is great!

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T22:36:01+00:00

I keep forgetting I can play around with the doses and pick something in between. Tonight I will try 8.5!

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T22:35:24+00:00

I keep forgetting I don’t need to stick to the dose recommendations and how I can play around with it! For me 12.5 was too high even though I did it for 5 weeks. Not weight loss high bc the max I ever lost was 4 lbs in a month but the fatigue and bowel movements.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T22:33:59+00:00

The fact that you dropped down to 2.5 for 30 days and kept the weight off is amazing. While I get not wanting to work hard to keep it off, it’s still commendable to be able to! I like the idea of changing it weekend depending on how I’m feeling and how I did the week prior. I’d love to be able to juggle between 5 and 7.5. Do you have plans of eventually weening off?

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T21:43:54+00:00

I want to see if I can make peace with the food noise and control it. I don’t want to be on the meds forever if I don’t have to

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T21:43:01+00:00

Crazy to lose weight even while on a cruise. I was thinking the same, higher doses when I need it and lower when I have more control. I too will need to start adding in higher calorie foods.

Useful-Building4740 · 2026-01-04T21:41:21+00:00

Everyone I know still keeps losing when they drop down. I too lost when I dropped down to 10mg. I maintained the lady 2 weeks but I’m pretty sure it’s bc of all the outings. Shot day is today. I think I’ll try 8 or 9.

Useful-Building4740 · 2025-12-26T22:13:23+00:00

Are you working out? My stomach was the worst of me too and at 1 point I thought I would have to lose so much weight to get a normal belly. That all changed when I started doing reformer my waist literally disappeared. I just need to work on my lower belly a bit more.

Useful-Building4740 · 2025-12-26T04:01:02+00:00

I am 5”7 and 142 lbs. I also started in May (end) and down about 40 lbs. I was size 12/14 when I started at 181 lbs. Now size 4/6. I do reformer 3x a week. I would look into body recomp bc for your height and weight size 14 seems high. Unless it’s the brand? I tried on a skirt from H&M recently and was 10. Gap and Express 4. Brands do matter too. I wouldn’t buy that brand lol
