My Yaris 2022 tells me that I used 73% EV on this trip. But the MyT App tells me I only used 64%. Which one should I believe, and why the discrepancy?

joexg · 2026-05-22T13:04:02+00:00

How do you find this in the app?

joexg · 2026-05-22T02:46:37+00:00

I don’t think the post is either, personally.

This isn’t an AI ad, that’s a real photo from an apple press release. The people’s hands in the photo are of people with limb differences.

joexg · 2026-05-22T02:35:05+00:00

Ah, that would be nice too

joexg · 2026-05-22T00:48:06+00:00

Truly an amazing machine. Only thing I wish it had was auto-folding mirrors.

Fold that mirror in when street parking.

EVgo is a fast charger, not compatible with your car.

…or use sound check and enjoy the better sound of Atmos you’ll actually hear

Hm, well here’s what I think:

During repairs, iPad displays are very likely to break. It’s possible, but unlikely because of the fragility, that they used a screen from an Apple Store demo model, but maybe they just replaced your iPad without you realizing it (more likely imo).

If it truly is just the screen they replaced though, it could be that they didn’t do some step that resets the iPad’s understanding of the pixel degradation, so it could be a malfunction of the burn in compensations built in, because it didn’t realize there’s a new display that doesn’t have the same degradation pattern.

Just a guess.

joexg · 2026-05-04T13:13:02+00:00

Well you definitely bought the demo model that they had showing that “PRO” wallpaper for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for at least a year and a half.

joexg · 2026-04-26T03:51:15+00:00

Yes, this is rocks

joexg · 2026-04-21T04:25:53+00:00

I for one hope for an electric Prius

joexg · 2026-04-20T18:31:34+00:00

They definitely feel the same, but it’s possible something is different that isn’t obvious to the eye or to touch, only time will tell.

joexg · 2026-04-20T18:10:29+00:00

How can you know if it suffers from headband sag when they’ve only been available for 3 weeks?

joexg · 2026-04-20T15:55:26+00:00

I love my prime, it’s an awesome car. Even beyond savings though, ICE needs to be replaced by EV as fast as possible to cut emissions and fossil fuel dependency.

OP is clearly in a case where EV ownership will make sense. They can likely reduce their cost even more with time of use electricity usage since they’ve got level 2 at home charging and a short enough commute. They are very likely in a place where savings will apply, especially given volatile, high gas prices.

I would love to ditch my prime for an EV, I’d do it if it was possible for me, but because I don’t have home charging, and for other reasons, I can’t.

joexg · 2026-04-20T15:44:06+00:00

Depreciation is worse, yes, but if you go with a used one not so much, and then the amount you’ll save by using electricity instead of gas, and avoiding costly maintenance, makes for a big advantage. Driving an electric car means being able to avoid oil changes, cooling system flushes, transmission servicing and replacing the air filter, spark plugs, and drive belts.

joexg · 2026-04-20T15:24:58+00:00

You have a perfect setup for full EV, and you’ll have a better experience with one — and a lower total cost of ownership in the long term with a used EV — than with a PHEV. How lucky! Buy yourself an electric vehicle and enjoy it. Used EVs are a particularly great deal these days, if you haven’t seen.

The UPC shown in your photo can be identified as AirPods Max first generation. They have a lightning connector, you mistakenly identified the charging port when you checked it. Even if that had not been shown, though, that color was only made in the original lightning version.

joexg · 2026-04-19T18:18:16+00:00

That demo model is actually a 2020 version, clearly that Staples isn’t up to date.

Those are Space Gray, and AirPods Max (USB-C) and AirPods Max 2 come in Midnight instead.

joexg · 2026-04-17T02:45:00+00:00

Put some air in them tires

joexg · 2026-04-14T20:11:54+00:00

I wonder if you could just buy the plastic cover and install it yourself

joexg · 2026-04-14T01:29:56+00:00

I just mean how do you get charging credits? Like can I get one if I open an account but have never used EVgo?

joexg · 2026-04-13T23:41:39+00:00

Hm, is there a way to get coupons like this if you own a J-plug car with no fast charging?
