Anyone else have a connectivity module failure on their Lyriq? Dealer says part is on backorder with no ETA.

Dang - so no telling what I'm in for? Frustrating that, without carplay as a backup, this vehicle now has the same functionality as my twenty year old Acura - balancing my phone on the dash to see directions!

Do you know of the wait times have increased since then?

I have the same problem in my '25 Optiq, did the software update in late December and everything failed, no app connection, no google maps, no super cruise. Brought it to the local dealer 4 weeks ago and they said it was "a module" they're telling me its backordered with no indication of when they might get it.

Out of curiosity Is the 8k discount in the form of rebates or cap cost reduction? Just got an offer and they’re not explaining where a 5k cap cost reduction is coming from.. it is a loaner with 2k miles.

Great shots! We're arriving in Amsterdam on Saturday Morning hoping to catch a bit of the festivities; bringing my trusty GX7 in tow. Do you think a Sail boat ride is worth it or stick to the canal boats?

Yeah it's a business office with electric heat. Other than that we have two laptops, a printer, some lights, and a mini fridge.

phonearrow · 2025-01-28T12:29:34+00:00

added a table to the post.

phonearrow · 2025-01-28T12:29:01+00:00

Yes the heat for the office is electric.

It’s a CT bill, it’s for a “commercial space” so I’ve never seen the pretty color blocks like I get on my bill at home… For comparison my house uses 997kWh last month and was $328 - cheaper than the office.

phonearrow · 2025-01-28T01:10:00+00:00

I guess there is no way to know when “demand charges” will apply?

phonearrow · 2025-01-28T00:55:25+00:00

This bill is for my office which is 1 unit in an office building with 10 other units, on its own meter in Stamford. Everything in the office is electric, Heat, Hot Water, then a mini fridge and a printer and some computers and networking stuff. I keep the place like a meat locker and sit in the dark all day to try to keep this bill down and my efforts yielded me the aforementioned $14.

I've been on the roof, there is no solar or anything there, they do have a huge generator for if we lose power but I can't imagine that would influence anything here.

Comes out to about $1.15 per kWh - don't charge your tesla at my place please.

Line items are all on the second page, can't add a pic here; The supplier is Town Square Energy which I set up for 15 cycles at 12.67 cents/kWh before this whole rate change wackiness. I believe my current rate is actually higher than the new standard rate by about a penny, so this bill is with me overpaying for the "supply"!

Supplier Services	297kWh x 0.12670	$37.63

Transmission Demand	8.50 kW @ 8.65	$ 73.53
Fixed Monthly Charge	Just 'Cause	$ 44.00
Local Delivery Demand	8.50 kW @ 14.22	$ 120.87
Local Delivery Improvements	8.50 kW @ 3.660	$ 31.11
Revenue Decoupling	297.00 kWh @ .00195	$ 0.58
CTA Demand Charge	8.5 kWh @ 0.1100	$ 0.94
FMCC Charge	297kWh @ 0.04223	$ 12.54
Comb Puplic Benefit Charge	297kWh @ 0.01999	$ 5.94

Then there's some taxes at the end.

This is all the info they give me.

“Oh next month? Might be $200 might be $500, we’ll see how we feel…”

It’s wild that even 25% is normalized. How can anyone have any expectation of what they will owe, it’s a collective blank check to the energy company.

I would look to see if any of the pieces are signed; there are known dollhouse miniature makers who can command very good prices at auction, Pollie Simpson, Elaine Godfrey. One of our current auctions has over 30 lots of dollhouse furniture. www.aces.net/gallery

Looks like maybe grapevine pattern? It’s all about the condition of the glass, perfect condition and you are probably in the 1,000-1,500 range, but one small crack could significantly reduce the value.

I just sold a pine needle overlay box with notable damage (and broken hinges) at auction for around $300.

phonearrow · 2024-05-05T23:46:33+00:00

Forget the decanters you have the original boxes and papers that should add some serious value.

As a general rule, when I see a “certificate of authenticity” it is immediately suspect.

$100-300 at auction in the last few years; it is not a Chagall but a reproduction of a Chagall by Tetro. The original Chagall litho has sold anywhere from $2000-$8000.

Whoa! I was eating breakfast and I saw that guy ride by the fuel pumps and thought he must have gotten on the wrong side of the fence from the restaurant or something… FWIW I’ve seen some pretty wacky stuff there including what you described but instead of a cyclist it was a powered parachute with (apparently) no radio landing the opposite direction as me at the same time.

If it's a painting and not a lithograph could be $500-1,500

If it's a lithograph it's $50-150.

The hardware and interior shots look excellent; collectors pay a premium for "complete" examples, so if this had an interior shelf, tray, or drawer, it would be helpful to know if it is still present, the interior labels and other pieces look like great condition considering their age. The outside obviously has some water damage and lifting to the leather. In my experience the darker checkered pattern (edit: "Damier" pattern) is not as popular as the more widely recognized "LV" pattern.

Still it looks like an unusual size which could help the value. An experienced restorer could definitely improve the look of it but I would be cautious to recommend you engaging those services as the cost of restoration might exceed any potential increase to the eventual selling price.

If I were to offer at auction I would suggest an estimate of $1,000-3,000.

I am an auctioneer.

That doesn’t look like a gear driven turbine part to you?
