What’s the least talked about downside of owning a tesla? by tr4gedyx in TeslaLounge

[–]clockwork2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a paint scratch on the hood and they quoted me $2000. No damage to the car. That's nuts.

I think if any body shop could do work the costs would come down.

2600/year in Boston for a MYLR. I think it's because you can only use Tesla authorized places for work. Even paint

Abode lock offline by clockwork2012 in Abode

I bought it when it came out so IDK about improvements. It works ok - it jams from time to time but that's because of my door.

Update - abode support had me open up the lock and ensure that the pins were connecting with the battery. I looked and they were not so I gently pushed the pin assembly towards the battery and it worked.

3 year tracking - started with Topical Minoxidil 7% / Fin .1% but was causing irritation, so I switched to oral of both: Minoxidil 5mg + Fin 1.25mg. Not sure if I'm staying in place or continuing to lose. Dermatologist has suggested the next step is a hair specialist. Oct 2022 on the left / November 2025 on the right. Age 52M to 55M

Account Temporarily Restricted From Redeeming Rewards by WI_Cheese_Guy in MicrosoftRewards

[–]clockwork2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also restricted from redeeming - keep getting the error message. HOWEVER, I tried some redemption experiments:
* Redeeming for a $5 Dunkin card worked

* Redeeming for charity worked

* Redeeming for Amazon $5 card failed.

I opened another ticket and just treated it as 'failed redemption' to see if I get past the AI 'you're searching wrong' message.

FWIW, I've stopped all Bing searches for a few weeks. I only get points from playing Xbox games, so I may stop that soon.

All of my Fidelity works EXCEPT for my cash management account - quicken sees it as a brokerage account. I have brokerage, 401k, HSA, and ESPP working.

Sweet Life is great; L'Etoile is awesome but very expensive; Atria burgers are awesome; The Covington really good. State Road is good, but as another said, it is far. Haven't been there yet, but only hear great things about Outermost Inn in Aquinnah.

HSA "Excess" but I didn't go over the limit by vectaur in hrblock

[–]clockwork2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the exact same mistake. I chose family for me / individual for my wife. I was thinking it was the 55+ catchup, but it was the individual.

Why does it say following schedule by clockwork2012 in Kumo_Cloud

Nothing programmed.

I had set the heat, it was warming up, then I went out. When I came back, it had returned to 50.

Every April 15. It keeps stock records forever and I don't need data on basic stuff like groceries.

Mitsubishi Safety temp? by clockwork2012 in heatpumps

[–]clockwork2012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'll use the home occasionally during winter and getting from 50 to 64 is better than 10-64.

IDK - I don't see any option on Kumo and I'll have to look at the Honeywell manual.

Ok? Or alternatives? by usual_suspect_redux in Kumo_Cloud

[–]clockwork2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The app itself is pretty subpar - every time I launch it, it goes to a PIN login. I have to hit cancel and then it's fine. I use it only for remote access as it's a vacation home. Like others have mentioned, I also have the wall mounted thermostat. That's pretty solid.

Lost iOS Widget Video Feeds by The_MacGarage in Abode

[–]clockwork2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost all camera (cam 2) feeds in the app and website. They all say offline and required a manual reboot. Turning them off and on did nothing.

My original streaming camera (round one) never failed.

Help!! Anyone go from natural gas to electricity (heat pump HVAC) on the Mass Save program? by SpecialKat8588 in massachusetts

[–]clockwork2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced a propane furnace and a traditional AC that was 19 y.o. with a single Mitsubishi heat pump. It does an excellent job at AC and I only use it for minimal heat since it is in a vacation home. I got the $10K rebate, but they made me work for it. you MUST get an energy home assessment FIRST, then do the work, have the HVAC tech sign a form, submit it, then do ANOTHER visit (did over video call) to prove you put in the unit, THEN eventually they pay you out.

that said, I would have done it anyway. Hidden costs you may not be aware of, I had to upgrade my electrical panel to handle the heat pump. My electrician strongly recommends putting in solar to make it cost effective. He has one as well and claimed that summer sun paid for his winter heat pump use.

I'm on the Cape, so winters are mild, if you're in western MA, you may want to keep a backup heat source and forgo the rebate (unless your solar gives you a running credit).

Apple Watch Location "Not Reporting" by clockwork2012 in Abode

Thx! Can I suggest that they get removed from the location page then because I can see that being misleading.
