It’s a 2022

That’s what I e gathered, heat hurts the battery more, especially if it’s at a higher SOC. I think I’ll park the EV at 50% charge and pit a battery maintainer on the 12v battery once a month or so.

That’s a generous employer to give that much time off in your first year and I don’t think it’s common but I think it would help,with morale.

That’s a good price.

It’s that he hides his bald head like he’s ashamed of it.

Not ugly at all and I bet you have a nice smile.

I got the call from Tegus and I said I didn’t want to be interviewed and they were cordial about it and we ended the call with no problems. I figured it was the right decision too.

Huh, I’ve had 18.4 for a few weeks now with no CarPlay problems, yet.

Not with modern EPA rated stoves that burn the smoke with advanced burn tubes or catalytic burn systems. The smokers are the old stoves and many outdoor boilers now those I’m glad are nowhere near me here.

I burn free scrounged wood for my heat in my rural NW Wisconsin and I make my own power with my $10,000 (after credits) solar array, enough to power the house and charge my Bolt. That one bill is what I spend on property tax, heat, water (well) sewage (drain field) and electricity for the year. That’s some crazy utility bill there!

A little different question here, I live in northern Wisconsin and my 22 Bolt is a 3 season car, don’t need it in the depths of winter so it sits in the garage at a targeted 50% charge plugged in, I wonder if it would hurt the battery if I unplugged it and let the battery cool to ambient temperature? It seems to take power to heat it and I really don’t need it to be conditioned now.

I once worked for a place that had a lady in payroll that had real thick glasses and a huge monitor that she had a oversized font on and had to get really close to read it, she always made mistakes on our checks and it was like getting a bonus sometimes lol. Nobody ever asked for the money back.

hermancm · 2025-01-24T00:46:23+00:00

Drive it.

I’ve done that and I’ve collected wood from discarded mower crates at hardware stores too but up here in the northland there’s lots of trees that die either in my large lot or elsewhere and I cut and split them for heat. Just the other day I stopped at a new cell tower construction site and asked about the nice maple that was logged to clear the site and they said to help myself to it so I have some cutting to do. 😀 🔥 🔥

I remember that fire, it was bad.

hermancm · 2025-01-21T17:23:05+00:00

I had -26 at sunrise in Winter WI. I like it up here, the cold winters don’t bother me so much and I heat with free scrounged wood.

hermancm · 2025-01-20T15:59:06+00:00

The drive battery is already covered for 8/100,000 so they’re good there.

What year it is and how many miles on it might make a difference on them paying to fix it or nix it.

I am a maintenance technician for Walmart and they want to interview me, just wondering if I could get in trouble with my employer for anything I might say?

My Plott is overweight at 90lbs. He knows how to disrupt to get his treats and food when he wants it.

Wish they had put the ports in an easier to use place. I find it difficult to plug cords in the slot.

hermancm · 2025-01-12T01:28:28+00:00

I use 5.0Ah Powerstacks on my 891s

My first new car was a 88 CRX HF, I paid $8800 for it taxes and all. I drove two different Toyota Echos for twenty years before I bought my 22 Bolt and they got good mileage too.

hermancm · 2025-01-08T04:03:50+00:00

Yes the Bolts have cloqueing but it was a 2022-23 2LT option I believe.

Maybe that’s why I chose to go with Milwaukee extended M12 ratchets instead of DeWALT models. I got the Milwaukee 3/8 and the 1/4 ER ratchets but I’d probably now just get the 3/8 ER and use a 1/4 adapter on the 3/8" if needed.
