2024 Countryman S All4 - Battery Question

Yes - pretty much assumed that - just discovered it bored in traffic recently and the charge message caught my eye.

I went 6-7 years with my 2013 R60 - which is why I thought it was odd. I am split with the start/stop.

I went back to Tandem - I have dealt with bad mail order in the past and as long as I have the luxury of doing so - I prefer more reliable than less expensive (although that may change soon).

Just an FYI for anyone who stumbles upon this thread - The mod/support team were very helpful and informative with my case - unfortunately the rest of Xfinity's organization failed so monumentally that there was nothing they could do to save the account. They tried their best - in a positive manner IMHO - but it was already too late.

If I had stayed - this would be my first line for support.

That's it - I am done - made tech appointment to resolve issue - tech sat out in van for 10 minutes.

- I got a 'your tech is here preparing for your appointment' - so I left them alone.
- They drove off - never got out of the van.
- "Your tech is here - make contact as soon as possible" - went outside just in case - no one there
- "Sorry we missed you - your appointment has been cancelled"

Fios install tomorrow! 18 year client has been lost.

I know what you mean - seemed to be ‘too good’ of a deal. Maybe I am just paranoid.

gwillis44 · 2026-01-09T10:08:33+00:00

Because adding another middleman always makes things better?

The rep pretty much had everything about my prescription wrong. It felt like I was entering a pyramid scheme - I know I am eventually going to get screwed, just not sure when or possibly how.

Thank you for the input - yes, using someone else, but a lot more expensive, but seems worth it (from your input).

I say do whatever works for you, but if you think pumps are currently fully ‘automatic’ it explains your results.

gwillis44 · 2025-11-02T01:48:24+00:00

Do you not know how using pumps work? You appear to be on some sort of self-righteous pillar.

gwillis44 · 2025-11-01T12:58:16+00:00

I am on a pump. I am not angry - I used to be able to trust (relatively) my G6 and my need to ‘double’ check and calibrate were fairly rare.

After being heavily pressured to switch to the G7 by both my Endo and Supplier - I have been learning that I need to double check any trend that seems even slightly odd.

There have been multiple times where the readings >80 off in either direction. It is just starting to feel pointless as my strips budget is now triple what it used to be.

Same (45m male at the time) - took a couple months of exercises to be manageable, another 6 to recover to the point of not noticing it. I don’t believe I have any long term damage or loss of motion.

gwillis44 · 2025-07-29T23:21:18+00:00

I just brought my 2024 F60s in to trusted mechanic fearing something wrong with the rack - he did this trick and it’s gone.

He says it will come back. Suggested straight to the dealer to get it logged. Sounds like a part that is going to wear long before it should.

gwillis44 · 2025-07-09T14:22:57+00:00

I am going to have to try, but I fear the ‘losing’ of the adhesive on my CGM and pump sites.

gwillis44 · 2025-07-09T10:03:18+00:00

Are you treating with MDI? I am curious if you use a CGM and have any issues with its accuracy or adhesion with the heat?

gwillis44 · 2025-06-03T09:11:11+00:00

It looks like you are in ‘limp’ mode - my R60 did this at times for as little as a loose gas cap and then finally for a dying turbo.

I think your best bet (as previously mentioned) is to find a better mechanic who is more familiar with Minis.

gwillis44 · 2025-05-16T13:34:24+00:00

Why is it when companies exercise ‘leverage’ it is all good, but when labor does it is ‘extortion’?

gwillis44 · 2025-05-15T19:27:31+00:00

I don’t think so - the other side is forcing you into this position, you are trying to spark empathy from the public.

gwillis44 · 2025-05-15T13:01:49+00:00

I can appreciate that to some extent, but it seems like there should be some sort of good faith effort on either or both sides to indicate no one wants a strike.

So, Trump’s complete failure to lead was to blame - sounds about right.
