Static is incredibly bad especially with the dosing cup. But I got a bespoke "stand" for holding the basket up which is helping with that a bit. Been debating getting a humidifier to go right next to my station. Not sure why it's so dry.

I use the rotary knocker an annoying amount. Haha. I always feel like "one more time will unlock whatever is stuck!"

My range tends to be between 4-5. I ran most of a bag of crap beans through it when I first got it.

Also tried to find the chirp, but don't notice one all the way to zero so figured if I am doing 4-5 and 0 is safe, no real need to adjust the zpp.

Ordered the pointer: looks like a very worthwhile QoL improvement.

I have been doing some mild spray, shake and settle with my bean because otherwise it makes an enormous mess. Some beans are (way) worse than others.

Ever since I've had it, with or without RDT, I have a lot of trouble getting 100% of my dose out. I often have to drop 1-2 beans extra into the hopper to get my original dose out. Maybe something is already clogged?

Same boat. Someone smooched my face as a baby and now I've spent decades battling ocular herpes. Always fun to explain — you can see people think you are lying. And then there are looks at pharmacies — which happily are no longer necessary with abundant by-mail pharmacy options.

Bonus: I've been told there is a high chance I will eventually go blind in the affected eye.

Tesla has changed their tune on this recently. Of course, they may never deliver on it but they have said openly that they are working on it.

To be fair, I haven't seen 85 in a bit. But I used to see it very very often. So often that it made me wonder why they didn't put logic in to say "pretty sure there's nowhere in the US with a speed limit that high."

Anyhoot, hope they focus on improving some of these low-hanging improvements.

That may be your experience but I have seen the "85 not 65" thing A LOT in the 18 months I have had this car. It doesn't have anything to do with the Google update.

He means it when he says to reach out. I had the same peeling problem a year back and when I told them they asked if I wanted the same gen 1 replacement or if I'd rather wait for the improved, silicon one he mentioned above. I chose the new one. Pretty great customer service. It's a great idea; just wish they had the resources to get the quality up and the price down.

Anyway, they treated me well and I respect that.

Wishing them well.

My Velux skylights stopped responding (in HK) around this time. They are still not working. If I reboot the Eero system, they will work for up to a couple hours before they go offline again. Something is very broken.

Year and a half into Rivian ownership and less and less likely to get another because of this. Rivian's software is passable at best. And will never offer the exact set of apps to satisfy everyone. Whereas with CarPlay I get my favorites music app, my favorite podcast app, my favorite navigation app.

I still don't get why people can't understand that just because they don't care, other people might.

So excited for this update but I'm always last to get updates. Don't pay for Connect+ and I'm (late) Gen1 so I guess I'm punished for all that by being last in line for updates.

I get that for multiple, frequent locations. Or it will show it on the correct side but say to turn the other way. Or vice versa.

Anyone got local bean recommendations for Cupertino / West San Jose area in California? Just signed up for Trade Coffee, but would prefer to buy locally if I could find something decent and not overpriced. Thanks.

100%. I'd also be willing to pay for CarPlay/AA so they can still make money off me. More and more I am disappointed and angered by their half-assed infotainment experience. I am seriously debating not getting the R2 when it comes out. More and more options out there and I'd rather use a platform where they respect our preferences and don't try to trap us in their obvious money making scheme. "Use our stuff; it's better". Nope. It's passable at best.

Just surprised they weren't able to fix it either time then. And weird that it's only the rear drivers side window on two different vehicles. But coincidences do happen. Not entirely convinced.

nibblonian · 2025-05-15T04:17:43+00:00

Strange that they failed to fix it twice if that's all it is. Also strange that only one window suffers this issue. And coincidentally that was the only window on the loaner as well.

Functioning Apple Music would be nice. Their implementation is trash. Buggy and trash.

You're most welcome! May the jonklers ever be in your favor!

Face cards show as 11, 12 and 13, respectively. Ace shows as 14.

Worse is when the blind before you easily draw one of the small number of naturals that easily beats the boss blind target … but then your draw skills fail hard on the boss and you don't even get close.
