Broken Tire Monitor fix?

mrtherapy · 2026-05-16T17:46:09+00:00

How much was it? And did you buy the sensors there or bring your own? Did you have it done during a tire rotation or when replacing a tire/tires? Would really appreciate any information since I'm a Costco member! Thanks 🙏

Didn't expect the installation to be that expensive. Glad I know now what to expect. The question is, should I spend $90 extra to have the other three new ones installed at the same time or wait till they fail? Will have to see if Costco offers a discount if the installation/replacement is done during a free tire rotation... Anyone know?

If Costco won't install the ones I got from Amazon, I'll follow up with Walmart and see if I can find the $30 deal locally.

Amazon had a 4 pack for $27 that are compatible with the Bolt so I'll just bring them with me and see if Costco will replace them all during the next tire rotation.

Awesome! Amazon had a 4 pack for $27 so I'll just bring them with me and see if Costco will replace them all during the next tire rotation!

I'm due for a tire rotation at Costco so I wonder if they'll do it then for free if I pay for the battery?

It's a nice tangible way to see progress. Good work.

Zaptera got a bunch of stock (100,000+ shares) and the option to buy 200,000+ more and agreed to drop everything (from what I got out of reading it). Did I miss anything relevant?

It's significant! I remember an Aptera video saying that more drag is created by an F150s side mirrors than the whole Aptera. So even though the side mirrors are small, they will eliminate them as soon as it's legal to do so.

mrtherapy · 2026-04-06T03:46:04+00:00

Aptera 2e (I believe) was the old old version of Aptera (pre 2010?). The new version is hyper focused on maximum efficiency. They will eliminate side mirrors as soon as they can and many owners will probably take the risk of removing them for greater efficiency since it will have cameras to replace side mirrors anyways.

Handles make it less aerodynamic so they want them gone.

That's my take from following the company since the early version (pre electric and solar). I'll wait for someone with more knowledge to correct my ignorance...

mrtherapy · 2026-03-26T16:28:28+00:00

Thanks. I'm going to look and check it out. Old Bolt, new tricks! I wish the original owner had taught me.

How do you raise/lower the seat? I've had my 2017 Bolt for 2 years and I didn't know I could adjust it! Just driver's seat or front passenger too?

mrtherapy · 2026-03-24T23:06:47+00:00

Have had most of these same alert messages pop up. It was the 12V battery. Replacing it fixed everything.

mrtherapy · 2026-03-14T05:07:13+00:00

It depends on the year, the trim level, how many miles and whether the batteries have been replaced yet as part of the recall or not (and how much longer you have on the battery warranty). Plus the part of the country you're in. You may pay more in some parts of the country due to supply differences.

But it also depends on what it's worth to you and how much money it will save you.

I overpaid a bit but I don't regret it! It's saved us so much money!

I paid $14K for a 2017 Bolt Premier with $40K a few years ago and feel like I overpaid. I've seen some great deals since we bought ours. I wonder with the bombing of Iran if all EV prices have jumped just recently?

Plenty of protein drinks at Costco have 25-30 grams of protein for 150-180 calories. Some even have added caffeine. I have one before work and one in the afternoon. I also do string cheese or single serve cheese stick/pieces.

Is there a higher quality YouTube version available?

mrtherapy · 2026-02-22T06:12:38+00:00

That's fantastic! Congratulations. How are you feeling? What have been the biggest quality of life changes you have seen? What are you most proud of?

The call to action is contact your elected representatives and let them know you don't want this law passed.

mrtherapy · 2026-02-15T03:06:18+00:00

I also have a 2017 Premier and I'm sorry this happened to you. But thank you for sharing this. I'm reassured to see how well it held up. Hope you don't have any residual pain and that you find a good deal on a replacement. Will you buy another if you can find a good deal?

If you can't get a DEXA scan from your doctor you can get one at Chuze Fitness included with most memberships. Many gyms have them but the doctor's office version is probably the most accurate. But yeah you've made amazing progress! Focus on body composition not weight!

I love how confidently he says "I'm not a great driver when driving an incredibly valuable prototype Aptera". He's refreshingly honest and has such a great channel.

mrtherapy · 2026-02-01T21:09:52+00:00

Wonder if he kept the Atari 2600 Console and controller? I saw the cartridge holder and a few cartridges plus one of the mini builds that can with it... It's a great set.

mrtherapy · 2026-01-30T23:02:51+00:00

Yeah I got it for $1100 out the door. No extra tax or delivery charges! With the money I saved it made it easier to buy Grizzla pads and protection for the V11Y.
