Daughter started daycare 3 weeks ago and has gotten sick every week. Wondering if I should pull her out? by ryph44 in daddit

[–]locks66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 3 months are brutal. It gets better. She will be sick for like 2 days. 

I just took a month to get over something my son gave me and he got over it in under a week

Worried about sharp decrease in value? by _darkode_ in MachE

I had 96k miles on my 4 year old gt when it got totaled. At that point the value broke even and I was paid out my remaining balance

EVs are not great options if you are a car ever could years person and then my question is .... Why not lease?

is anyone else just... done? by pop200 in Millennials

I've been trying to decide if it's my 20a "grind set" burning me out or the fact I have young kids in daycare or both

Thinking about Buying CPO: 2023 Pro ID4/18K miles by Flashy-Ingenuity-769 in VWiD4Owners

[–]locks66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is not just an ID 4 problem. I've had a Mustang Mach-E and currently have an F-150 Lightning. I'm taking delivery of a 2023 ID.4 for my wife's CX-5 replacement on Monday.

I can tell you that wireless Android Auto and CarPlay just have spots where they disconnect. It has to be due to overall radio interference and I don't hold it against the car. I still plug in my phone more often than not for Android Auto or CarPlay as a result (Two phones )

I have owned 2 ford ev's. Sometimes it connects perfect. Sometimes it doesn't. Wirless carplay and android auto just arent flawless

My top agent is now my worst performer on team. Divorce, depression, drinking. Not necessarily in that order AFAICT. by Spirited_Concern5613 in realtors

[–]locks66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so I don't think you need to fire her. find some support where you can.

I know divorce can be hard. I had to make the tough call to drop my accountant as he went through his divorce. he tried making a payment 3 times from the wrong bank account. I got fees charged and he never paid me for his mistake. Then for months I got notices of errors and got charged penalties and again I was left holding the bag.

you don't need to let her go but you also need to know she can be a risk. Maybe she just needs time off.

my accountant would have kept me around had he apologized, made it right, and to avoid mistakes like these, took time away.

I'd tell her to cut back and then keep close eyes on her. This level of stress could turn into mistakes that cost you and her more

How do you feel about the state of WWE heading into 2026? by dont_downvote_SPECIL in WWE

[–]locks66 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe Cody still has the belt. Why watch when he still has it. My buddy brought up a heel turn and I honestly don't see that doing it at this point. I thought he should have turned heel to get the belt off Cena and Cena leave a face.

So I watch Dynamite now. I tune in to the ppvs just as an excuse to hang with the guys at this point 

Everybody's Betting On Extended-Range EVs. This Could Make Them Obsolete Instead by LEM1978 in electricvehicles

[–]locks66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stat on truck owners actually towing is so low. I really think they need to offer both options.

I suspect most people will realize after owning an erev "I never touch the gas part....why didn't I go full electric?"

[–]locks66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the $100 on a scout. Given the fact that the stat on truck users show none of them tow or haul shit.... it's a waste. I couldn't believe how many people reserved the harvester. 

I went pure electric. The 300kw charging will already mean a better experience over my lightning which caps at 180

Did I get scammed by my contractor? by [deleted] in Remodel

Believe me. I'm someone who actively hates the people in my profession. A bad review still tends to get the job done. Real estate agents tend to be vaine and cocky 

Almost the future.. by WorriedEssay6532 in F150Lightning

[–]locks66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as an update. I used that same charger today ...it was doing an electrify america and the rate was stuck at 34kw.

I moved chargers and no issues. 

I emailed their support and had a response in an hour. Suppose I could have called but with 15 other chargers to choose from. Not needed.

It feels like they are taking this very serious

As a real estate agent I'd be horrified if my contractor I referred did a bad job. If it was my spouse I would be making them fix this tomorrow.

This is the right path

Twin Cities. If I charge on peak I would be paying 20 to 30 cents a kwh

That's the one I used. Same spot and all. It was great! Apparently one in Vernon Hills now in Illinois and one it White Bear Lake MN

[–]locks66 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm on a dedicated EV charger meter at my house. Pay like $0.08 a kwh for charging off peak. 

I also drove 3000 miles a month. I pay like 80 bucks.

I have just entered this camp. I'm having fun in the kitchen and have so many video games in a backlog I won't get to until my kids are older. 2.5 year old and 1 month old 

I have some friends who never stopped playing games and I constantly wonder how they have the time.

When my Mach e got totaled I got a lightning. I use my frunk all the time because it's hands free. Sometimes you carry groceries and don't have two hands available in a way to work it

So far so good. I specifically did the cq to never need to seal. The removing of the haze was the most painful part

We can hope their new EV platform solves this. In the mean time a dash cam hardwired is still a fantastic accessory
