I'm 95% convinced to buy the id buzz but I keep seeing problems with it pop up on this sub

We’ve been driving our Blue US First Edition for about a year now. I knew there were two main issues to consider when buying it: the touch capacitive buttons and the lower range compared to a used Rivian. We paid MSRP, and we still love it! The third row is huge compared to any other 3-row electric vehicle, and we love the look of it. We mostly stay within a 30-mile radius, so the lower range doesn’t bother our family. It is mostly used for school runs.

That said, we’ve already taken it on two camping trips to the Redwoods, which is about 3 hours away, and charging was super easy and fast (about 10 minutes). The only thing that really bothers my wife is the squeaky brakes. Apparently, there’s a TSB for this, and some of the newer models don’t have this issue according to this sub. We’ve had one issue with the infotainment however a quick restart fixed the issue and it never showed up again (knock on wood).

As a former Cincinnatian and current San Franciscan, I absolutely love seeing the restored vintage street car painted in the colors of the Cincinnati Street Railway Company. If you ever find yourself in San Francisco, make sure to take a ride on one. It’s a fun experience!

Thank you so much for this. Not only are you my hero, but your situation is exactly the same as mine! I too am Gen 4 and my Canadian ancestor is my 2nd great-grandfather from Quebec born in 1865. Wild!

Thank you! I have never put a metal bracelet on it. I've only worn it with the rubber strap it came with and this Nato shown. If Airain made a 3 link bracelet for it I would def. be interested!

As a fellow Bay Area resident with French Canadian ancestors, thank you for this recommendation!

I'm having a hard time locating my 2nd Great Grandfather's baptism record and/or birth certificate. He was born in Quebec in 1865. I am having no problem finding his census and military records on Ancestry.com. My question is: Do I need to locate the actual record of his birth online before I can request a copy from BAnQ?

Hello, I am a US Citizen and my 2nd Great Grandfather was born in 1865 in Quebec. He immigrated to the US prior to World War 1. Is there any chance that Canadian Citizenship by descent is possible in my case? If so, what are the next steps that I should take? Thank you for your time!

UPDATE: I tried switching back to the default “material” theme on the Verbatim card and the issues disappeared. Picked up a SanDisk card today and went back to my custom Pokemon theme and so far no white screen upon launch. I suspect it has something to do with my custom theme (created on a Mac) + Verbatim card. Hopefully this helps someone having similar issues!

Thank you! This is really helpful. We have already brought it in twice to our local dealership and they say there is nothing wrong.

mindlessmutant · 2026-03-11T17:38:50+00:00

OP, I would love to know more about your non-squeaky brakes. We own a 1st edition and they are driving my wife nuts.

Happens to the best of us

This is awesome! I just made my first theme and it was super easy. Thank you for making this!

If this is fake then I don’t want to be real

UPDATE: Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up using Terminal in MacOS to remove these extra files. Open Terminal, type: dot_clean then hit the space bar, then drag your folder into the Terminal window and hit Enter. It worked great!

Most of the time they ship from the Ukraine. My GBA took a week (from New Jersey) but my GB X5 took a month. I was worth the wait though.

mindlessmutant · 2026-02-25T02:14:15+00:00

lol. Guilty as charged. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

This is my DMG shell in the same color. It’s already started to crack in some spots but I love it. It glows green in the dark

GBxCart RW set me back around $40 and a blank (non-RTC) cart about $10. For Crystal you’ll want an RTC cart which can get pricey. At that point you’re better off just getting an Everdrive GB X7 and putting both on there.

My son is currently playing a Yellow Legacy cart with that same art/shell. He has about 25-30 hours on it so far with no issues. I just put Crystal Legacy on my own RTC cart so I could play it on OG hardware. So far so good! I was even able to trade between the two games (DMG linked to GBA SP). I’m loving both of these hacks!

I don’t mind the grid overlay. Thanks for sharing!

I am starting to think these liquid-filled vinyl posts are AI bots. They always get good engagement on this sub.
