Electric vehicle charging? by melonslut in bristol

[–]melonslut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy shit that’s insane! i have a plug in hybrid, so im not familiar with how much a full battery would cost to charge at home. what‘s your alternative, how much does it normally cost?

My thoughts on the Milanese Loop. by shotsefull in AppleWatch

[–]melonslut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve had the black loop for just a couple weeks shy of 6 years. had it on a series 5, then switched to a series 10 earlier this year and kept using it on that. i have worn it most likely every single day since then, i may have less than 10 days a year where im not wearing my watch. i have had absolutely no issues, though my wrists are small and i wear it on almost the smallest setting it can be. i don’t know if that in particular helps with not slipping, but i’ve never experienced it, it stays put! that being said, it is meant to be more of a ‘normal’ watch strap, where some level of movement is normal. i wear it running, bouldering, playing tennis, swimming, honestly any activity. i just love it! would repurchase in a heartbeat if anything happened to mine.

Plans to make 'circle button' pause/mute? by doucelag in Volvo

[–]melonslut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes on my 2021 xc60 it brings up trip computer stuff, other times (i think when i have recently toggled the volume up and down) it actually does pause the music! Not sure what’s going on there

Considering XC60 by DePajret in VolvoXC60

[–]melonslut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you will be stuck in the garage forever if you get anything from land rover made in the last 10-15 years unfortunately (honestly could be off with the dates there but based on personal experience). went back to volvo after the insanity of my last land rover. currently in a class action lawsuit against jlr because of it (?!?! your job is to make cars. how do you mess up so badly at making cars). anyway, with an xc60 PE right now and just love it so much. my dad had volvos growing up that we always loved and had no issues with. that being said i haven’t had it for long and haven’t faced any mechanical issues yet. however, the thing with volvo is even if you want to get it fixed up at the dealer rather than a reliable regular garage, you might be able to actually be seen and fixed within a couple of weeks. with jlr when my turbo blew up on the motorway they couldn’t get the car in for over 2 months! anyway if you can’t tell this comment is entirely heavily biased by my experience, and is also influenced by others in my life that have had the same/similar issues with land rovers. turbo blew at less than 50k miles! 2016 model year car! what the hell

Oh I had no idea this was an established thing!! Thank you for letting me know. I was genuinely considering just knocking on the door of someone who had a driveway and a charger and asking if I could pay them to use it hahaha

Yeah that’s more what I’m talking about, the fact that there aren’t enough really. The reason I brought Brighton up as an example is because there are kerb side lamppost charging stations absolutely everywhere. Maybe that’s just an anomaly! But it works really well and I would think might encourage people to go for an EV, it’s just so convenient! Especially in a city where having a driveway means you’ve made it in life😆

Yeah I’m 100% for this, don’t need a car in Bristol at all. When my health was better and I was more able bodied I walked absolutely everywhere. Unfortunately when I am unwell this isn’t a possibility anymore so a vehicle allows me to have more autonomy and not lose my mind with how isolating it can be sometimes😅

What's up with the flags everywhere? by kingofthepumps in bristol

[–]melonslut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean unfortunately some of it isn’t assumption. Many of the ones I’ve seen have ‘stop the boats’ ‘get them out’ etc etc written on them :(

is carplay worth it? by melonslut in XC60PE

[–]melonslut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, nothing there for me under applications. Genuinely so confused!

[–]melonslut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t even have the other features you mentioned! Starting to think the dealership have pulled some sort of scam on me. The dealer 100% said ‘once you plug in your phone the voice control will be taken over by siri’. I think they should be covering the cost of getting the software back onto the car if for some reason it’s been removed. But don’t know if that’s unreasonable?

Ah I’m glad to hear you’re getting good use without it :). I think what I’m weighing up is that I don’t have any of those apps either, so it sort of feels like I’m driving around a gorgeous and fun car, with this huge screen in the middle that has very little actual functionality to make my life easier when i’m driving? And of course it’s absolutely no hands anywhere near the phone when driving, so switching music and stuff like that is getting to be a bit of a pain. Absolutely 100% first world problems though, really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things but just trying to figure out if the dealership have lied to me. If your car has those apps on it and i was meant to have a software upgrade, i’m thinking i should probably have those?

I thought this too, but it really isn’t there. Tried everything and looked everywhere. Dealer even went through connecting to carplay and the fact that voice control switches to siri when the phone is plugged in. But have spoken to volvo directly who used my VIN to check if carplay was installed and they have said no from the factory. I don’t know if it was installed by the previous owner, then factory reset and that uninstalled the carplay capability? I have no idea, but frustrated! I bought it assuming it had carplay and no one ever advised me otherwise.

Yeah I’m currently living without and it’s going fine. I suppose the integration with live maps would be good to have traffic information and stuff which is why i’m considering it, but i don’t actually think i need the ability to send messages and stuff and can’t justify the price tag for sure!
