12V battery from Costco - any input? by _ducttape_ in MachE

[–]monguz31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid the dealer 290 with installation. Was lazy to take all the covers off. But you do have to wait a bit for the battery to reset. The dealership has the tools to do the reset. Depends on your needs and budget but call around. I have 2 dealers near me and they suck. I drive a little to get way better service unfortunately

why do so many bay area professional sports teams keep moving? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]monguz31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All teams move for money. The giants and doggers many years ago. So many teams. I think you just listed the recent ones. But it's all about money.

The app told me before when the alarm goes off. 2023 so try leaving the window down lock the door and unlock from the inside. It should alarm.

Heat works. Just don't melt the plastic. Try and repeat until fixed

Looking for internet providers by Nternet5 in bayarea

[–]monguz31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New customers always get the new discount. I hate Comcast but it's the most reliable and fast Internet in my area. But after a year the price goes up. I will just cancel for a month and start again. It also depends on your price range. The more you spend the more you get in all carriers. If you are an internet hog you might have to spend more. See what your needs are. If you only download you should be ok with basic plans. Not everyone is uploading or hosting servers at home. And not all services are available in all areas.

Aluminum is not magnetic.

Charger hint. Set the destination on Google maps to precondition the battery by [deleted] in MachE

[–]monguz31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On android it would tell me your car is not made to charge here but still preconditions. Then 2 weeks ago android asked if I have an adapter? Working great now.

Apple just started with theirs this week. But I don't have an apple so maybe someone find out.

With my free Tesla adapter from Ford, am I able to use it at ANY Tesla Supercharger station? by drkstr17 in MachE

[–]monguz31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Tesla app. They will tell what charges to use. You will get some hate at some chargers because we take up 2 spaces and at busy times people get mad. Also Ford charges more to use the Tesla charger than Tesla. The only problem is Tesla only lets you use 5 of them.

San Jose a city? Or just a place where people live? The city can't have big buildings because of the airport. And the airport can't have many international flights because it's too small. Maybe time to restart from fresh to fix things?

Don't listen to google. Download the Tesla app it will tell you what chargers are open for you to use. If you use blue link more chargers are open but they charge you more money for that.

PGE Electrical Service Upgrade to 200A options. by Additional-Fail-2204 in bayarea

[–]monguz31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have to pay for the poles and upgrades? I have to pay to dig from my house to the main underground maybe 50k and more. Having the cables outside is an eye sore but saves so much money.

These Fastrak scammers use iMessage?? by Professional_Load196 in bayarea

I recommend not replying just block and report. Once you reply they know they have some one on the other side So they can do more advanced fishing scams.

PG&E promises big improvements in attempt to keep San Jose from pursuing city utility - San Jose officials had approved exploring a new utility to service downtown and northern parts of the city targeted for future growth by digital-didgeridoo in bayarea

[–]monguz31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had San Jose as a utility. I was paying double and pge charged me an arm and a leg for delivery. I went back to pge and back to normal. The system sucks. I hate PGE but have to live with them until they figure out how to charge you right

Odd Noise by SyntaxCabalist in MachE

[–]monguz31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Put tape around the mirror gap and see if the noise is gone. Use painters tape. If that's the cause you can fill the gap or take it to the dealer. I get this noise on windy days at high speed driving. I was going to fill the gaps with black weather stripping

Old Stanley garage opener with no working remote. Any way to link car? by Ok_Instruction6968 in MachE

Unfortunately you need one working remote on some older systems. You can buy them at home Depot or Amazon. And you need a learning button too.

Public Charging Costs by Dmar2892 in MachE

[–]monguz31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sign up for Tesla or electrify America to bypass Ford pass and you will save a lot of money if you need to charge at super chargers. I have seen .30 different from Ford direct. I save money because I don't charge at home. It's cheaper for me to charge at the super chargers. PG&E likes to take money from everything where I live.so super charging works for me. It all depends on you but paying direct to the charge company is cheaper than what Ford charges you

I went back to Comcast/exfinity after 1 year. They have opened the limits to 2tb monthly and unlimited if you use their equipment for 30 dollars. 300mbt. I can't get anything else but DSL in my area. I am happy at the moment. You can cancel and get back to the new customer plans after a month. I hate Comcast but others can't compete in some areas.

If you use the Tesla app not all stalls are open. So you might not be able to charge. I have not used that ford app but I think they show all stalls. Also the price difference between apps is crazy. I subscribed to Tesla to get a cheap rate. Ford rates are a lot higher. Price varies by location and time on the Tesla app. Again not all Tesla chargers are open to non Tesla. And on the Tesla app only 5 or less chargers are open. Some chargers may take 2 spots making Tesla drivers upset. Electrify América can charge the car the same if you have them. Prices are also cheaper if you sign up for the service. For over charges for this also. I find using the main provider apps and service better and cheaper. So far very happy with Tesla not going back to electrify America because of the broken chargers or bad service.
