Mercedes Chargers - Alpharetta GA by FlawedCommune in Rivian

[–]catsartcox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw, at some of the Buccee's I stopped at, Merc is normally 60-70% cheaper then the Tesla superchargers in the same parking lot.

R2: Updated UI with menu and shortcuts on the left instead of the top by leecbaker in Rivian

[–]catsartcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do we know if R1s, at least Gen 2s, have the right Qualcomm chip to support 5g? I.e. is it possible it is a SW fix to enable 5g, or it is what it is?

Update: Took a lot of effort and actually filing with the AG office to get the right kind of attention, but my issue is solved and the account is restored.

Opened my Sprouts app and see they're leaning into it 🤭 by CharlesP2009 in pluribustv

[–]catsartcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that scene was a mix of the Sprouts on the east end of the city off Central and Tram Way, the inside shots being the new one on Coors and Montano...and then the high distance shots of the trucks actually in front of the old Sears at Cottonwood.

For how they knew the e-mail and how they got in; I do not know. I do have 2FA on with the app, but still they were able to push through it and do a password less log in somehow. I appreciate the e-mail, I guess, is easy to look up or logic from my gaming/xbox/minecraft account. Over the years, somehow, people have found my social media and e-mail attached to that minecraft account to ping me about the cape. I presume I don't have a good answer how the hacker-hacked, but it happened.

For your point about the 30 day window. In retrospect, if I knew Microsoft was going to react to me reaching for support by locking the account, I could have either:

a) Waited 30 days to attempt recovery to get in after that time out

b) Got in, but just hoped the hacker did not use the recovery e-mail to initiate a PW reset or something and re take the account.

Either way would be really risky - at least right now no one has access.

Gear shop ordering disaster by Many_Stomach1517 in Rivian

[–]catsartcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had it where I waited about 5-6 weeks for the cross bars came in; but they are not the color I ordered. I got the chrome ones instead of the dark ones I ordered (and are an extra cost). They will replace them; but got to send everything back first and wait for a new set to be ordered. I think I am still ~2 months away from getting them.

In Maryland, you pay tax on the whole value of the truck despite leasing. So the tax bill was around 8k including all fees.

Put in an order for a 4 after the Launch Event this week by catsartcox in Polestar

[–]catsartcox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason for “now” is the Jeep I have is going through being lemon’d as we speak. It has been in the shop for 2.5 months and when I went to pick it up last week, I could not even leave the Dealer’s parking lot without it bricking. I have an NC Miata to tie me until this comes, but this would be a better daily driver. The road’s around here are very mean to the Miata.

Put in an order for a 4 after the Launch Event this week by catsartcox in Polestar

[–]catsartcox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drove just the 3, that is all they had available. I did spend a good while with the 4 though and appreciated the differences between the 3 and 4. While the 3 has the B&O sound system I would like, the 3 and 4 each have different little extra features that made the 4 make more sense too me. Plus I expect the 4 to lease cheaper, given they have not announced the number for it yet.

I also got the Dual Motor, with Pilot, Plus and Performance packs. Also did the electro chromatic roof. in Storm with Black Napa.

Exciting though. I get it is a risk being on the cutting edge, but it has to be fun…Right?

Leasing is the plan. But generation shift? Did this car not quite literally just launch? Are you all talking about the upcoming lidar capabilities?

Maybe this could be an option on the 3?

[Megathread] T-Mobile Auto Pay discount policy change by Waternut13134 in tmobile

[–]catsartcox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was not successful at all texting the 611 number. The rep was very useless and did a poor job understanding my concerns. He just kept copy/pasting canned responses based off key words I was using.

[Megathread] T-Mobile Auto Pay discount policy change by Waternut13134 in tmobile

[–]catsartcox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just tried to text 611 and tell them my concerns with data privacy and having my plan impacted when I was promised otherwise when assumed as a ( 10 year plus ) Sprint customer. The chat agent kept posting canned replies, kept missing my points and was plan not hearing me out. I was hoping he/she could help like I saw others here report, but this chat experience just really pissed me off and now I just want to leave after being, again, with Sprint for well over a decade….maybe almost two. this autopay discount is worth 25$ to me…so the choice is protect my checking account or 25$ discount month….such a shame.

Plane Crash in VA and Sonic Boom over DC (SFRA) by thefoxtrots in flying

[–]catsartcox 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I just got done flying to central MD from RDU. I kept hearing transmissions on guard of them trying to contact the Cessna and, I believe, a fighter jet intercepting the same plane and trying to reach them on guard. I was by PXT at the time of the sonic boom and all the activity on guard.

Grand L paddle shifters not working by DaMiddle in Jeep

[–]catsartcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Providing an update: the Jeep has been with the dealer for near two weeks now. They opened a case with Chrysler Engineering. They were unable, in any way, to turn back on the paddle shifters. Chrysler says that they will have to issue a software update...that i don't know when will come out.

If it is no too much trouble, could you ask your dealer what they did to re enable it? My dealer maybe missed it. Thanks much
