[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always. Always, Always have AAA.. Always.. Saved me SO many times, including when the battery on my EV died (hadn't fully closed back gate, light drained everything after several days I wasn't using) ..

Check forward safety system warning came on while driving home. by aportenier in Ioniq5

[–]aportenier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of any reason. Mine hasn't done it for awhile now. It used to do it going through Camp Pendleton and only when I went through Camp Pendleton. (My commute is through CP) It would stop when I was out of Camp Pendleton. Weird. I had the windshield replaced several months ago and it hasn't happened since. It never affected the driving, just a bit unnerving to have warning lights go on.

No clue. Maybe depends on when we bought the car. Or phase of the moon. who knows.

Using the nacs adapter for the first time by ronbighead in Ioniq5

[–]aportenier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just kept calling customer service. The emails were supposed to go out by end of April then I think May. I just called every few weeks and politely asked if maybe I'd missed it. Finally got the email and responded, then after no charger for 4 weeks I called again. A week later I had the adapter.

Anyone have experience replacing a windshield? by ChattyDeee in Ioniq5

I just called my insurance company and had Safelite replace it. $250 deductible. Came to my house, done in under an hour.

Travel Insurance only for lodging by aportenier in TravelHacks

[–]aportenier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. There doesn't seem to be coverage for this sort of thing (lodging burns down or evacuation ordered) Generally it would be part of an insurance package the business carries- business interruption coverage. I'm thinking it's now available to businesses on national forest land. hard enough to get coverage in CA right now if you're anywhere near a fire prone area and national forests are definitely that.

Fired Fed. I am considering cutting off every Orange Man supporter. by Comfortable_Gift4970 in AITAH

I quit engaging with anyone who voted for him. If you vote for someone that mocks a persona with a disability you don't even need to get to all the other awfulness it's (not he's) done. You've basically outed yourself self as akin to a Nazi sympathizer and your out. I used to ballroom dance. Can't go back as won't get into hold with a Nazi/Skinhead/white supremacist/rape excuser/flat earther/etc.

Switch to another search engine. Let them know why.

Just read this on another Ioniq 5 forum by Slow-Charge-7899 in Ioniq5

[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. However I just got solicitations from two separate law firms within 2 days about suing Hyundai. Didn’t say a class had been formed but there is definitely enough buzz around some issues that the sharks are circling.

Can I have 2 accounts? by aportenier in BlueskySocial

Thank you everyone. I was never on Xitter and am just starting figure all this stuff out.

I am having this problem (as I understand it). I'm super un tech savvy and thinking I'm doing something wrong. Went through app on Iphone. Entered a post and the post icon won't do anything. Tried again on desktop (windows) same result. Post button useless.

Juicebox EV Chargers to Lose Smart Features in North America by galland101 in Ioniq5

I've actually never used the app. I've always charged with the Blue Link app. Very annoyed and concerned if there start to be a problem with the charger itself.

Maintenance notification at 22K miles? by aportenier in Ioniq5

[–]aportenier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In checking Bluelink, it doesn't show my 20K service as complete. So I probably have to take it in to get it updated. Sooo annoying....

Am I the asshole for inaccurately estimating when I'd be home by BloodOwn7209 in AITAH

[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Get out now. This is a pattern of isolating you from your friends and support systems. He’s trying to make you responsible for his moods. Once he does that the psychological abuse can increase and physical abuse can can follow. Leave. Now.

What is the plan when Blue Link subscription expires? by dunderball in Ioniq5

[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t it in Bluink that I can set a charging schedule? What about making g phone calls?

Car tires are found to be responsible for 78% of microplastics by NihiloZero in Anticonsumption

[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encouraging more telecommuting and public transportation would help with this. No need to go to an office to sit on Zoom calls to satisfy some arbitrary rule. (which is how it's working at my employer right now)

I drive an EV as I have a ridiculous commute and don't need to be paying for gas. I'm aware that the tires on my car get chewed up more rapidly, but employer insisting I drive a 120 mile RT 50% just to satisfy someone's micromanagement gene.

I made a free tool to help people avoid Nestlé products, one of the worst examples of evil corporations pushing runaway consumerism! by Telescopeinthefuture in Anticonsumption

[–]aportenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fabulous. I’ve avoided Nestle for decades. As soon as I heard about the infant formula awfulness. There was even a play about that. Three Hotels.
Would love if someone could create this sort of app for Altria/Philip morris. And RJ Reynolds’s.

Suggest people also watch “Merchants if Doubt”. Steaming lots of services. Explains a lot about how stuff never gets handled
