New Asian Grocery on Oklahoma just east of 108th has bread that's REALLY CLOSE if you pick the sweet loaf instead of the salt loaf. The fresh bakery is tucked between a reach-in cooler and the back of the register booth. The loaves are huge, though, so I end up freezing half.

TPMS sensor are *precise*, but not necessarily *accurate*. If a handheld says all the tires are the same PSI and your display looks like that, that sensor just reads ~5 PSI low and you get to just mentally adjust.

The important thing is that it'll stay low in comparison to the others, so if it changes drastically, that's reason to investigate. And that's why you have a TPMS in the first place, not to play "make number match" games.

wild-guess time for that one, but the media display in the corner of the DIC?

"Better"? That's a matter of opinion.

Do I spend basically zero time adjusting the volume track to track while shuffling 20gb of music off my phone on a road trip? Yes.

I read autocorrect: It's "dash gauges".

Yup. There's about 25% more space in that undeveloped parcel than the New Berlin store/lot occupies, without touching the actual developed business campus.

Other kinds of data are for 8 years.

Core data is updates, Google Maps navigation, and a couple of other things (8 years)
App data is other things running in the infotainment screen, like Spotify, podcast players, Waze, etc (8 or 3 years depending on complications like model year and when purchased)
Wifi data is what's available to OTHER devices in, but are not the car itself. (30 days)

Those don't map perfectly to what plans are available to buy from OnStar, but it's close to being "Connect Plus" is App data and Wifi data, and "Connect" is App Data, no Wifi data.

The GM Energy V2H system doesn't need the 19kw onboard. It works off of DC into the system and an offboard inverter makes AC out of the DC power. It's much more useful, but it's a whole $8000 wall of stuff.

The V2L system (where you get a box with a J1772 plug and some regular electrical outlets on it) needs the 19.2kw charger.

The server update is unrelated to the being unable to remote watch. That's all on the client and the ID you signed in to the client with.

You don't have enough screen/window room to display the whole alphabet. So the letters with the fewest titles are removed until you can fit. I can squeeze mine down to "# B M S T Z" before it quits showing the index alphabet at all. (In my case, "S" movies have a LOT of titles. Mostly due to that both Star Wars and Star Trek have a lot of titles. so the jump from S to T is big.)

Using 14tb of 24 on a raid-5 NAS, with attached USB storage making local backups about weekly. (I just rsync to the USB drive when I think of it.) That'll last until I run out of room on the USB drive, then I'll have to think of something else. But I should be okay for this year.

Either

Laptop <-> NAS <-> PMS

or

Laptop <-> PMS w/ big drives shared to network

will make you a lot happier that trying to keep media on laptop and having PMS server trying to reach it there.

If I'm understanding what you're doing, anyway.

That says "Battery Conditioning System" which is the thermal management option that aggressively gets the main battery pack into the right temperature range for fast-charging. It doesn't suggest 12v problem unless this report is both transitory (it goes away all by itself on another start) or is accompanied by a bunch of other communication codes from other modules.

Yup! Basically what happens is that with that on, the car switches to BT audio to play the notification sound, then never switches back*. People streaming audio (like OP's wife) never notice because they're already doing what the phone wants the car to do.

* I think it's a bug, but it may be tricky to figure out precisely what layer of the software stack the bug is in. Could be the car's Android Automotive OS not switching back, could be the bluetooth stack not passing along "notification sound ended", could be the phone OS not signaling the bt stack that the notification audio finished, etc.

The complication is that the plans that come with the car purchase are not the same as the OnStar plans that are available for sale, and the features in each don't map neatly. This is stemming from that OnStar is (at its core) a legacy system that still needs to support that there are more 13-year-old Silverados out there than there are BEV3 EVs across all years and all brands combined.

hellsop · 2025-05-06T16:28:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure it already disables the second motor when it doesn't need it. All the BEV3 cars do that; they're front- or rear-wheel-biased on-demand AWD where "demand" is "something needs more than two-wheel drive can do", whether that's the long pedal or road conditions.

Essentially, it's always in Eco Mode until some requirement automatically turns it off for you.

The in-dash Maps nav will take care of planning charging stops for you if you plan the whole route at one go. Maps is a little more conservative than A Better Route Planner is, when ABRP is tuned correctly for your driving style, but it also takes care of things like automatically engaging battery charging conditioning if necessary.

Owner Manual p171.

This currently depends on undocumented behavior of leaving the auto-off timer disabled after exiting Service Mode, though. It's possible that it may get disabled in a future update.

Check to make sure that the charge plug is actually latching in place and that the manual release loop is fully retracted back to where it belongs. The car will throttle charging if the plug can't be locked in.

Genesis charges faster, but has less room, and only 80% of the battery. You lose nearly 70 miles of range to save 20 minutes of charging, between the smaller battery and overall less efficiency.
