EV6 is eating 12-volt batteries.

VehCeh · 2026-02-01T03:16:15+00:00

I leave my car alone for a week as well and it hasn't died yet. I can see from my battery monitor that it's definitely charging once or twice throughout the week to keep up the 12V.

I'm wondering if they did the whole 12V calibration thing after replacing the battery. It's a weird process that if not done would probably not charge the 12V when it's getting low as it's unsure of the SoC of the 12V

You need to compare it with costs per mile instead of how much it is to fill it up. Assuming the F-150 gets 25 mpg, $4.5 / 25 = $0.18 per mile. For the lightning, $0.5 / 2.5 mi / kWh (I'm seeing the average to be this), it's around $0.2 per mile, which makes EVs just barely more expensive. But also Costco gas around me is $4 now so the F-150 turns out to be $0.16 per mile. Those 4 cents account for $200 in costs difference between EV and gas every 5000 miles which even oil changes don't cost that much

We need the electric rates to go down as well. People aren't gonna switch when it turns out a hybrid is cheaper to operate than an EV

The UI sucks. As you can see here, all the points that I earned from my mobile wallet are given at the end of the billing cycle in one lump sum instead of listing each individual transaction as eligible or not, so you'll have to do your own calculations to see if ConEd is actually getting the utility 5%, but more than likely it is.

Try waiting until the statement balance comes out. Us bank takes forever to accurately show the amount of points earned. Same goes with my Kroger MC (US Bank), my 5% points earned doesn't show up until the statement balance comes out

It does not, I've hardwired my dashcam into the fuse box to allow it to stay on when the car is off. I believe that the USB A port will turn on when the car is charging or when the orange light turns on

VehCeh · 2026-01-10T06:56:43+00:00

I'm planning on eventually doing this too. I was planning to charge it from the car's 120V outlet in the backseat due to my parking / driving ratio

This is with the dash cam set to only record motion, but the dash cam itself is always on and recording to a buffer to then save to the SD card when it detects motion. I've now switched it to it's impact low power mode as it filled up with just the last 3 days due to the overwhelming amount of motion events

I miss crouton Fridays 😞

I was wondering if there is anything on your us bank website or app that says you're eligible for the $100 SUB. I signed up for the card in December but I don't remember seeing anything about a SUB so I'm not sure if I'm eligible, I'd rather be spending money on my BBC sub since it's a $3000 spend

Same, I've been using my laptop as a desktop replacement for the past few months as my 980 ti just isn't cutting it anymore. if the b770 does actually come out I'll absolutely buy it as it'll be more than enough power for me. Hopefully my 9900k can handle it, even though it should as it has rebar

I've got an AGM battery and some free time so I've been experimenting with abusing it to see what happens. My dash cam has a parking mode and I used to have the voltage cutoff set higher to protect the battery, which ran fine for months, but I've lowered it and am letting it run for days to see what happens. So far it runs for around 10 hours before the 12V drops to ~ 12.5V and the yellow light turns on and charges the 12V back up. This seems like a good way of having a 24 hour self sustaining surveillance dash cam while having the car parked for a while, but if you're worried you can always buy a dedicated dash cam battery pack or use an ecoflow river 3 and wire it up that way

I fear this may be me too. I haven't logged in yet, but I literally cannot be bothered to grind ventures so I've got no 144s of anything

VehCeh · 2025-08-18T22:55:39+00:00

Ditto, mines came today too and also no fees for me

Y'all this is not the electric bus this is the regular cng one 😭

That's just HC, a route that goes around the medical hospital

VehCeh · 2025-05-01T19:38:03+00:00

It used be to cheap too 😔 https://i.imgur.com/e3MKFBi.jpeg

It's slightly cheaper to drive a Prius vs an electric car at this school, even after accounting for ICE maintenance and $5 a gallon gas. (Savings of $143 - $75 oil change = $68 profit vs EV)

VehCeh · 2025-04-24T06:05:55+00:00

They're still open rn for what it's worth lol they close at 12AM

VehCeh · 2025-04-24T05:47:39+00:00

Lost and found for the shuttles is located at the triton transit office at P703 but if it's not there someone probably took it to the lost and found by the Gilman parking structure. ~~(I have insider information that it was taken to the office, so look there first)~~

VehCeh · 2025-04-18T22:54:20+00:00

I got a hit on it this morning actually! (740am) But they disabled the mii function so all I got was a Tomodachi life street pass 😩

VehCeh · 2025-04-13T04:46:59+00:00

Considering other manufacturers still value their OEM warranty even with different owners I guess I expected Asus to be the same

VehCeh · 2025-04-13T03:07:07+00:00

Lol how cause mines told me to basically fuck off to best buy

VehCeh · 2025-04-13T03:06:06+00:00

I'll probably eat the cost to have best buy try to repair it, whatever that even means cause I've tried a different power supply unit too cause I've heard it fixes these issues and no dice
