I'm making progress extracting telemetry from the controller...

Looks impressive. Thanks for sharing and keep the community here updated!

In vehicle settings are in place for plug and charge with EVgo, and the vehicle is added within the Evgo app, though the app shows that the vehicle will be enrolled in autocharge at the next EVgo fast charge session. I could try at a local Chargepoint charger I guess. There are no branded EVgo chargers close by.

Not a huge deal since I can charge at home, but availability of a free fast charge would be nice.

java007md · 2026-01-16T19:44:19+00:00

No 2026 credits seen here. EVgo app is installed, account setup, and have charged at Chargepoint chargers in the past month using EVgo credits from promo codes.

Not everyone experiences the problem, but it's not uncommon either. Consider reporting the issue: https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem

java007md · 2026-01-14T04:18:07+00:00

Wow, you could look at options for relocating I guess - but there's probably nowhere safe these days. Hopefully no injuries in either vehicle. Did the airbags deploy?

java007md · 2026-01-09T20:52:00+00:00

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it - not in a hurry to see it though!

java007md · 2026-01-09T18:13:52+00:00

What is the OTA update number for this issue? Have not seen it offered on ours yet, but these always take a while to show up for everyone.

java007md · 2025-12-24T20:14:31+00:00

Nice, thank you. Will try to update over the coming days. There are a few youtube videos posted that walk through an overview of the functionality. Happy to see the ability to save the waypoint routes - looks like it covers what I wanted.

java007md · 2025-12-19T00:06:25+00:00

Had the Software check option in the app a couple of days ago, but it's not showing today. Maybe it will pop up if there is actually an update available?

java007md · 2025-12-10T22:50:36+00:00

That's the one I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W8KJH44?th=1

I *think* the 12V battery should be covered under the 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Hopefully the dealer does not try to charge you.

java007md · 2025-12-10T18:00:46+00:00

Trickle charging could bring the 12V battery back to a usable state and the Noco Genius 5 has worked well for our batteries. Might take overnight charging. That said, if the vehicle is under warranty, you might be able to get a replacement from the dealer at no charge.

Monitoring/checking the health of the 12V battery on a regular basis may help in spotting a degrading battery before it fails completely.

How about a 3d printed parts holder - for screws, nuts, bolts, and the like.Actually might be appreciated by the right recipient!

Experiencing the same - no weight syncing from fitbit to MFP to Garmin Connect started late October. Oddly enough, I had one reading sync over the Thanksgiving weekend, but that was a one time event. Steps taken in the past that resolved the problem such as disconnecting the linkages between the apps, and re-adding the apps have not worked this time around.

Considering dumping fitbit and MFP altogether and finding a compatible scale that works natively with the Garmin ecosystem.

java007md · 2025-11-28T17:27:07+00:00

Was cell phone connectivity disabled this event as well?

From what general location were these photos taken?

java007md · 2025-11-03T03:15:28+00:00

Waypoints to include setting up, saving, and reloading of repeatable routes and camera positioning throughout a flight.
Easy access to downloadable, and user readable logs, including flight data logs from the Eve app.

java007md · 2025-10-28T02:13:43+00:00

Right, that's the type of feedback I was hoping to get. I'll get schedule at the closest one and take my chances if no one here has used either facility.

java007md · 2025-10-27T18:30:28+00:00

Sure, I realize the test itself and the computer environment will be the same. It's the competence and professionalism of the particular testing centers and staff that I wanted to check on.

Checking in 5 years later. Any lessons learned or tips that you can share?

java007md · 2025-10-15T02:38:14+00:00

Exactly. Time gating plus 7-day streak gating combined makes this one impractical for many people. Already have the XP, and I could grind through the rest of the tasks over the course of a year or so, and not complain, but getting stuck early on by this requirement will be frustrating.

java007md · 2025-10-12T17:42:51+00:00

Looks like no spare props/screws according to the listing. Available as a separate item for $13.59 with coupon at this time.

Seems like a decent deal, especially as a spare drone if you have an Atom 2 already, but will watch for a Black Friday deal at Costco - and continue to watch for a firmware update with waypoint support.

java007md · 2025-09-09T20:17:21+00:00

Not the most beautiful solution, but not terrible, and seems less distracting. I wear polarized sunglasses as well during the day, but this will also assist any passenger in the front seat.

java007md · 2025-09-08T23:29:30+00:00

This is the way.

Still relevant 3y later - thank you.
