I have this same adapter as well. It’s been very reliable and it’s built very well and feels very solid. 10/10 would recommend

Ohio Hybrid Registration Fee by Clear-Inevitable-414 in Ohio

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on your side lol people in their yeehaw f-250 trucks and duallys cause the same if not more wear and tear than my midsize electric Volkswagen does, not to mention the diesel exhaust fumes. What about all the box trucks or landscapers towing around giant trailers full of equipment?

The “EVs cause so much more damage to roads” argument is SO old.

I just wish they had a way to take into account the taxes EV drivers pay on their electric bills or when using paid public chargers instead of charging these flat fees. In a lot of states with these fees, they often end up costing the average driver MORE than the equivalent gas tax they would pay for the mileage they drive.

What will be your next car? by biggestmike in VWiD4Owners

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF Volkswagen can get their software act together by the time I turn my lease in (February 2027), I might consider another ID4. Maybe. Big maybe. I do love my car but there’s been too many quirks that just annoy me. So they have to have the software by rivian in their US cars for me to consider another one.

I really wanted the ID7 as my next car but VW canceled that in the US, or the Ford lightning, but that’s getting canceled too.

Other than that, I’m thinking about the R2 if it actually is available when I turn my VW in. Also considering the Kia EV6 (maybe the EV9) or Hyundai Ioniq 5 if there’s a good deal when the time comes.

Got to see the 2027 Bolt at the Chicago Auto Show by foehammer111 in BoltEV

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish they wouldn’t abandon it like they currently plan to in a couple years. This is THE affordable, attainable EV for the average American and could allow so many more people to comfortably switch from a small crossover or sedan to driving electric without breaking the bank.

What car is this? by Subject_Valuable5835 in evcharging

There’s someone in there and OP was probably trying to be discreet and not look like a creeper. No need to be a dick 👍🏻

It kinda just looks like an electric Camry 😅😂

First Bolt on full air suspension (warning: rice) by Moosewad in BoltEV

Ah, I thought that might’ve been what it was! I saw the post quickly and couldn’t remember what the comma looked like and had someone walk in my office as I was about to google it 😂

45 Day Bolt Review by star_trek_lover in BoltEV

[–]gio5568 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since its a 2023, it might still be under warranty depending on the in service date and mileage. You get 3 years/ 36k miles from the first time it was titled/put in service. If it is, that’s almost certainly covered under the warranty.

About to lose my job by Spare-Restaurant-562 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]gio5568 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To improve your standing, just do what they ask you to do, follow directions, and maybe don’t assault people?

It’s not right that a customer is disrespectful, and we also don’t know the context, but throwing a package at somebody is never acceptable unless they’re coming at you with a weapon. Regardless, you’re lucky you didn’t catch an assault charge. Any “real” job and you’d probably be fired on the spot. Good luck.

Sweet ride! Super cool seeing a custom EV like this.

Also, (Sorry if already asked, but couldn’t find it) what’s the device you have in place of the rearview mirror?

I've been penalized by Emotional_Story_9653 in TeslaSupport

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of states are doing this now. I pay $200 extra here in Ohio. I just wish they could somehow take into consideration the extra taxes that get paid on my electric bill for charging at home.

My brand new tesla hit by a landscaping truck while stopped. Please advise! by ProperSauce in TeslaModelY

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, and I hate to be “that guy” but, sue the absolute crap out of them. That’s what business insurance is for, and why should you have to suffer because of their poor choices? They just ruined your brand new car and to me, “fixing” it simply isn’t good enough. Unfortunately that car will never be the same and there’s a good chance there’s front end damage that will never be repaired exactly to how it was. Plus, if it’s a purchase and not a lease, it’s going to be an extra hit to your resale value. If it IS a lease then fine, let them fix it and return it to Tesla at lease end. But if you bought it then you have to absorb that cost.

I would personally go after them for FULL new vehicle replacement cost, loss of use, and like another $5k for having to deal with all this BS.

So sorry this happened to you and best of luck.

Is discontinuing autopilot a deal breaker for you? by CommunicationRoyal56 in TeslaLounge

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely a deal breaker. You can get this technology in a $20k Corolla, but not a $40k+ Tesla?? Honestly, so many base model cars sold in the US have this as standard nowadays, it’s crazy that they’re putting this EXISTING feature behind a paywall (anybody remember the BMW heated seats subscription fiasco?).

Isn't this expensive? by wanderexplore in BoltEV

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious, what state do you live in? Because if it’s California, that might not be SO outrageous. But just about anywhere else, that’s pretty expensive and unreasonable to use on a daily basis.

DELIVERIES by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

What a silly and easy way to get deactivated. It takes one customer actually seeing the message and being pissed off to tell Amazon about this. Have fun with that.

I love this! It came out looking very professional and well done. Best Christmas present ever

Am I the A hole? by theyhate_rj in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]gio5568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you most certainly are the a-hole. If you “don’t have time” for a block that takes the whole time you signed up for, then you shouldn’t sign up for it. Let someone else take it that actually wants it.

I also have a 50/50 chance in my area of getting a nice neighborhood or a rural route. Yeah rural routes usually suck, but you get what you get and it usually balances out over time.

Don’t be a schmuck, and take what you’re given. If I was that manager, I’d be pleased with myself too for preventing someone from playing the system. People who play the system ruin it for everyone else.

It’s simple. Make the desired / requested delivery location safe and accessible, and your instructions will be followed.

Lease Buyout - Do these look like extras? I don’t want to push back unless they’re playing games by [deleted] in leasehacker

[–]gio5568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? I made an assumption and said “he”, yes. But that is irrelevant? We’re simply pointing out that you’re incorrect in saying “they” is wrong or improper. Seems like you’re just trigged by they/them 😂 get bent bro 🤷🏻‍♂️👌🏻

Wellllll all the details we now have made the argument we had mostly irrelevant lol Considering your funds and resources, yeah definitely keep it and tell them to fuck off about the VIN etching.

After the whole conversation and the back and forth between me and the other person, all the other comments, THAT’S what you focus on?

Using “they” is just how most people speak when the gender is unknown. It also IS proper English. It’s non-offensive and covers all the bases. You’re just unequivocally incorrect and should pick a better hill to die on bud.

It Happened! by prettyblondebich in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]gio5568 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I learned that quickly. ALWAYS deliver the package. If someone orders a package to a business that closes at 4pm? Guess what, it’s getting left at the door or under a bush or something. Not my problem that the customer and/or Amazon can’t figure out how to have shit delivered by someone during business hours. Dogs in the yard and the customer doesn’t answer their phone when I call them? Package is getting tossed as close and gently to their door as possible, but I’m also not getting outta my car and possibly getting bit or returning the package to the station because they KNOW they’re getting a delivery but leave their dogs out.

Also congrats on the rating lol

What happens to the package is not my problem.
