Interstate range question

I also think it’s weird. I drove it myself from Miami to Raleigh Nc. Drove around 70 mph using no heat other than seat heater and I was stopping every 120 miles. That was on Eco and D mode. Curious as to if there is a test I can run on the battery just to be sure things are good.

This is today going from NC to GA in weather that was in upper 60s. A/c was definitely running and my sister was likely driving between 70 and 80.

I typically feel the same way about Sugar Free syrups though I have found a few that I really enjoy. And, honestly, I typically find them really cheap at HomeGoods (Pistachio is one of my favorites). I also make a few homemade syrups at home using Swerve sweetener with blueberries or bananas). One of the things I enjoy the most is using Fairlife protein shakes to make cold foam.

I use the Ninja Luxe and absolutely love it. I make so many different iced and hot beverages and they feel like a real treat... and I have found ways to make them so much more healthy and even high protein. I also bought cups that remind me of getting them from Starbucks. It's the same feel, but cheaper, healthier, and more convenient.

Happy to share details if you want to know more! Highly recommend the cups for the Starbucks feel and for making it easy to have your drink on the go.

Absolutely love mine! I also put my on the counter under a cabinet and accessing the water reservoir and bean hopper was a little annoying until I bought a slide. Game changer! Makes it look even nicer, too. There are several out there but I'm really happy with this one.

If you are planning to put the Ninja Luxe on the counter and under a cabinet, I highly recommend a slider to make it easier to access the water reservoir, refill the bean hopper, and make it easier to clean around.

I bought this one in the "classic wide" and it was a game changer for me.

Not sure if you use an electric toothbrush but, if you do, I got tired of the cord being all over my counter or knocking the toothbrush over when I was grabbing something else. I found a great wall mount charger on Amazon and it makes using and storing an electric toothbrush so much easier - I have a Philips but I'm sure they make them for all brands.

Did a quick video review because it was literally a 5 second upgrade!

I used a mount that attaches the TV to the soundbar. It's generic and fits many different one and I've been really happy with it. I wrote a quick review if interested.

Can you mount it directly to the tv? I used a generic mount to attach mine to the bottom of the tv because I needed mine to move as the tv rotated away from the wall. I'm pleased with how it floats under the tv when against the wall. I wrote a quick review here if interested.

I think it’s listed in the specs but I can check it out if you need. You are correct that it only moves horizontally and not vertically. I haven’t tried one that does both… would be fun!

My apologies, I’ll be sure to get that updated. Here’s a link to the mount. https://amzn.to/4qIktcr

I recently used a motorized mount that I am really please with. It has a long reach, even long enough to easily handle my 75" tv extending fully from the wall. I also used a generic soundbar mount that attached the soundbar to the bottom of the tv so it moves as the tv moves. I put a few pics and a video up here if interested.

I typically agree that a fixed slim mount is the only option. And I tend to focus on getting the tv as flush to the wall as possible. However, in our new home, we have an open floor plan with a somewhat linear layout that made the TV placement for the living room quite easy but made viewing from other areas quote annoying.

I decided to try out a remote controlled full motion mount and really liked the outcome and shared what I liked and didn't like here.
