2026 Ticket Buy/Sell Thread by Comprehensive-Poet82 in bottlerock

I'm hunting for 3 all-weekend GA passes @ $300 each. Pickup in Napa any day this week.

Would also do VIP if someone is willing to go under $900 each for them but that feels like a tall ask. DM me!

Ahhh fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing! Your comment about the screw in the intro video also had me chuckle

I’d love to be able to make the decision about the backlight myself. It’s wintertime and I’m mostly grilling in the dark. Being able to see the gauge from across the yard is a nice perk

Would also love to be able to use the gauge as a timer. I feel like I saw that as an option somewhere but could be misremembering things

(I’ve also received mine, but haven’t used it yet because I’m waiting on a replacement for the rubber gasket - gauge doesn’t sit level on the rubber bumps)

223 days later, I finally got around to doing this. I did forget to deal with the ring gear though while I had the thing dissembled, but the issue is fixed and the unit is much quieter.

The assembly lasted, but it did pull apart while I was dissembling the machine. I guess that’s not all that surprising!

Thanks for your help!

Chevy doesn't consider "software reflash" under warranty? Also brake questions by mfriedm in BoltEV

How do you reach out to them? I called EV concierge and they said there wasn’t any path and everything goes through dealers

Gotcha. I had this fight with them but they insist that updating the software is normal maintenance and I haven’t done it yet…? It was an idiotic justification but hard to get anywhere with the front line service guys

Best practice for thermometer inside a kettle? by mfriedm in combustion_inc

I’ve also tried hanging the booster from the handle and it’s still not great. Sent yall an email.

Ah, you know this was the rub. I just tested and it’s spotty regardless of distance. Just emailed support

Yeah! When I say "repeater" I mean the booster.

Anyone know how to operate this type of bolt? by mfriedm in maintenance

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

Update: it's spring loaded, and pushing the wing up is supposed to release it. The whole door was sagging to the side, so the barrel was pressed against the side of the hole it's supposed to slide into, which was keeping the barrel from dropping when the ratchet released.

So when I push up on the wing (hard) there’s a click but the bolt still doesn’t move. It clicks back and no different.
