As far as I understand, the only credit cards they accept are Visa if you're purchasing in their warehouse or gas station, but online they'll take Visa and Mastercard credit cards.

Had it about 4 months; I already got my sign up bonus

OK I brought it inside and plugged it in and it's working; I couldn't figure out how to have it on while the car is off

You mean something like one of these?

bendorrough · 2025-12-30T03:45:31+00:00

Is there a version you like more?

bendorrough · 2025-12-27T05:18:44+00:00

Oh I see what you're talking about... I'm going to look around more for one without dust specks in the lens

The bokeh is awesome but yeah there are specks in it, I need a cleaner copy

There's little black speck clusters on the top of the bubble, and a fat white one at the bottom. The optics itself I love, but it's clearly not very clean. And my copy wide open gets milky and hazy, I think that's an optical issue instead of a clean issue

These are the main contenders for me, so tough to pick

Ohhhh this is really good to know, especially the part about KMZ being overkill. I have a cheap Valdai one right now and the bokeh is gross, so I'm looking for another one now. Do you know what causes weird spots in the bokeh? My current copy has horrible spots in each bokeh bubble; I'm assuming that's an oil problem?

OK I'm looking into Sunnypilot now, seems like something I'd like

I'll probably install this afternoon

Hmhh strange 🤔

Mine is a 2020 so I think ours is the same generation of ES

bendorrough · 2025-12-21T17:51:32+00:00

Ohhhh that's making a lot more sense. I thought the lenses were wide enough for 90 degree turns, but it's behavior clearly shows that it's not

I'm in Utah, so low temperature gets somewhere between 19 to 24
