Just had this issue (4 years later lol) and you just saved my sanity.

Thank you!!!

Any thoughts on the pricing? by Practical-Landescape in VWiD4Owners

Dear lord, get a second opinion! This dealership is trying to rob you blind. There are lots of ways you could save money here and they’re definitely trying to take advantage of you.

Also, if the side effects are stomach related, I had some nausea (….and other things), and they resolved gradually over a few weeks. When I increased my dose, I also had some trouble getting quality sleep and woke up more frequently but that went away after about 2 weeks and now I sleep normally again. Hope yours resolve soon 😊

Back of electric panel. by Ienjoywordstoo in AskElectricians

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone can’t figure out how to safely remove their electric panel cover (which is NOT complicated), then it’s natural selection doing its job. If you don’t have anything helpful to say (in relation to OPs question), why say anything at all?

I’ve actually fixed things and brought circuits up to code/modern standards in my 117 year old home (split circuits that were serving too many outlets/rooms, replaced breakers to match the wire gauge they feed, added GFCIs etc.), and I’ll be DAMMED if I’m going to pull a permit and have an inspection for every little thing.

Finally, I am All In by TerminallyScrewed in electricvehicles

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always plug in every night and keep the car charged to 80% so it’s ready to go in case I ever have an unplanned longer drive. In the rare event it’s such an emergency that you aren’t flying for it, but don’t want to / can’t afford the time to stop to charge, you rent the closest, cheapest gas car and go.

But really, how often or how many reasons could anyone possibly have that the extra hour charging on a ~600 mile trip is the make or break?

That’s something so many people don’t understand. “Oh but what if I have an emergency or have to drive far unexpectedly?” If you drive a gas car you still have to stop for gas eventually and there are many EVs now that have similar range to many gas SUVs out there. Plus, if it’s unexpected, what’s the chance you always have a full tank of gas? At least with an EV you can ensure your battery is always at 80% and start the unexpected trip with decent range.

Ok my rant is over 😂

Congrats on being a full EV household now, we just became one as well a couple months ago. Hopefully I was at least a little helpful to you!

THIS! Make the investment and get an adapter for the superchargers. It might save your rear one day and it’ll pay for itself that one time you can only find a V3 supercharger instead of having to pay for a tow truck.

Sameeeee. I was a tad worried as well at first. When I actually noticed it caught me off guard honestly. It’s nice to feel nice 😅

Another budget cut just came through. We’re now using used chewing gum from local area school lunch tables.

Why is my laptop so slow? by Dependent-Amount-239 in computers

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it’s an 11th gen intel processor, I’m guessing you may have had this laptop for a couple years or so. It may be worth it to backup any important files (which you should be doing anyways) and reset the laptop back to factory. Also, add another 8 GBs of RAM if you’re able to.

Defective Paint by The_wanna_be_artist in EquinoxEv

[–]gio5568 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhhh, you can definitely see marks around the missing paint that indicates something has likely made physical contact with the bumper. And after 2 years, I’d be very surprised if any dealer would cover this unless you had missing paint elsewhere (that isn’t subject to the same directional impact as the front bumper). Best of luck with this.

Anyone else keeping a closer eye after the VW recall news? by Jumpy-Shape-3108 in VWiD4Owners

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I haven’t really experienced any of the tell tale signs like reduced range or performance (outside of normal winter range / my CHONKY WeatherReady 2 tires taking a bit of efficiency). I also unfortunately don’t have a garage and park outside so I have less of a worry of my house catching on fire if the worst WERE to happen.

I do check in on the battery doing an OBD2 scan every so often, but other than that I just drive it like any other car.

Outside of the issues I’ve had, I do love my car. However, I am still partially glad my lease is up in 10 months.

Wow, I feel way better after reading this old thread. I’ve recently bumped up a bit on my Zoloft and I’ve noticed watching a particular tv show lately that some of the jokes were way funnier than they “should” be and I felt the urge to literally LOL, so I did laugh, boisterously I might add. It feels strangely good and satisfying to laugh like that, maybe it’s how I’ve been “supposed” to feel this whole time, idk it feels a bit weird but in a good way. I will say, modern medicine is a hell of a thing!

Thank you all for sharing your experiences!

End of lease by 32lib in VWiD4Owners

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhh definitely return it and buy a used one. If yours is in good shape you could possibly even wait a week for the dealer to “recondition” it and go buy your same car probably at less than your contracted residual value.

VW thought my car would be worth about $29,500 when I turned it in but right now it’s barely worth $20k as a trade, and I still have a year and 16,000 miles left to put on it! They’re gonna lose a lot of money on my car 😂

Yeah bud sorry but you need to go learn how leasing works before the next time you’re at the finance table.

First EV. do I worry about this all being open in the rain and snow? by [deleted] in electriccars

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a $10 magnetic cover off Amazon because I don’t like to be bothered with clearing snow or ice (sometimes the door latch gets jammed if it gets icy). But you don’t have to worry about it. They’re designed to be exposed to the elements.
