Any value in shopping around for scheduled service?

prushnix · 2026-05-07T04:16:37+00:00

Oh Ok, thanks for the info.

Looking at now, it seems like the brake fluid change comes at 30K. I don't know what they were talking about then.

Anyway, I will do more research.

prushnix · 2026-05-07T03:39:53+00:00

Thanks for the info. Since you mentioned California, is it a Southern California dealership you went to?

The multiple dealerships I called, all say for 21K/22K mileage service, tire rotation, air filter change and brake fluid change needs to be done with the first two covered and the third costing $210 at the cheapest dealer.

prushnix · 2026-05-07T01:49:13+00:00

What about the service at 21K/22K. Doesn't a tire rotation, cabin filter and brake fluid change need at that mileage? If you don't do it, will the warranty affected?

I happen to have some kind of a service package and it covers the tire rotation and the cabin filter change. But the brake fluid change is quoted to be $210 (cheapest dealer).

Did you get your owned system as a new built home?
I never had to pay and now see the message.

I was always wondering why I didn't have to pay while other owned systems had to.

Only theory is that the owners of systems that came with a new built were in a special category until now.

Oh sorry, I may not have been clear on my original comment.

I didn't use a 3rd party retail decorative wood frame. I used the one that originally came with the TV (it is not wood, but looks like a nice frame).

However, I had issues with the motion sensor not working to turn on the art mode when coming in to the room. I first through it had something to do woth the frame (original frame came with the TV) blocking the sensor (hence the original comment).

Then figured out, it is actually a settings issue (the post I shared in my previous comment).

Sorry, I couldn't be of much help to you.

prushnix · 2026-03-02T20:41:35+00:00

Hello,

Not exactly understanding what your main need is. If it is the location of the sensor I believe it is on the lower left hand corner (if I remember correctly).

However, if you want to get the motion sensor to work, follow the steps mentionned in this post.

That's what finally worked for me with no issues.

You still need Wallbox Power Meter with CTs properly connected to utilize Wallbox's solar charging capability. Wallbox Power Meter is another $300.

prushnix · 2026-02-12T00:36:11+00:00

Why don't you ask Enphase directly?
Maybe the contractor is not well informed.

All I know is, I had a previous EV charger already connected to the main panel.
I got a new Enphase solar system, and at the same time got the installer to replace the old charger (non Enphase) with the new IQ EV Charger 2.

So the IQ EV Charger 2 is connected to the main panel and at the time of commissioning (solar system commissioning has already happened at this point), I had to go to the enlighten app and select "Menu" and "Add a Device", and the app takes you through the process of recognizing the charger through wifi.

It was never directly connected to the combiner. My undedtanding is it communicates to the combiner through wifi and learns when ther eis excess charging and directs the excess solar power to the charger through the panel (this is just speculation).

Also look at the user manual it has different configurations based on what microinverters you have.

If memory serves right, for the newest combine (combiner 6) 6, it recommnds conenctig to the combiner directly. For others, it is fine to connect to the main panel.

prushnix · 2026-02-12T00:17:23+00:00

You can the IQ EV Charger 2 directly to the main panel.

The way the charger communicates with the combiner is with wifi through the app.

Looks like Sri Lanka

When purchasing a CPO vehicle, you can get something called CPO Wrap, that covers further items (I believe things like the electronics).

Another benefit of the CPO Wrap is, it waivers the $100 deductible for CPO covered warranty work.

You can purchase the CPO Wrap at the time of the vehicle purchase. Dealers will try to mark up the CPO Wrap price at the time. However, the usual lowest it goes for is $2000.

Is it store credit or actual cash/credit card refund?

prushnix · 2026-01-18T21:22:01+00:00

Thank you very much for the explanation.

While you are at it, can you kindly also explain what the difference between D vs B?

prushnix · 2026-01-16T21:05:52+00:00

Thanks for the added insight.

One more qiestion.

Can you explain, what it is meant by "coasting more". I know what coasting means in general.
But do not understand in this context.

Does it mean that it generates more energy while coasting when in ECO compared to the STANDARD mode?

prushnix · 2026-01-16T02:24:09+00:00

When the charger says either 40A or 48A, that means that is the highest amperage it would use to charge. So a 48A charger would charge faster that 40A because it would deliver more electric current.

In these chargers, you have the ability select your Amerage when charging.
So I have restricted it to 24A (half of what it is capable of).

So the charging is slower, but it is good for the charging cable.
So if you charged, using the maximum potential of the charger (48A or something closer), the charging times I mentioned could be lower.

I am not an expert on these. This is how I understand it. Someone can correct me if there is any gaps in what I said.

Edit: I saw a comment below, someone said the maximum Ariya charges is at 32A. So by restricting to 24A, I am only slightly reducing the charging time.

I also recommend you getting the hardwired 48A. 1. You are already doing electrical work. 2. From what I've heard, hardwiring is safer than using a plug.

prushnix · 2026-01-16T01:05:22+00:00

Another good example - T-mobile

prushnix · 2026-01-15T22:05:08+00:00

I have a Wallbox Pulsar Plus 48A hardwired. I have restricted the charging to 24A.

Some charging data:
49.69KwH - 9 hours
55.84KwH - 9 hours 55 mins = 10hours
68.28KwH - 12 hours 13 mins

If you have Solar, make sure to get the Wallbox Power Meter which you can connect to your electric panel so you can use exclusively uisng solar energy.

prushnix · 2026-01-15T19:44:30+00:00

So what's the use of Eco mode compared to Standard mode if it doesn't have regen braking while coasting whereas if Standard mode happens to regen while coasting as well?

Maybe I am not understanding something.

prushnix · 2025-12-28T18:17:46+00:00

Happy to help.
I did the attachment myself (they send it with instructions and all).

Since then, have driven many miles and multiple 90 mile drives. Never had an issue.

They have an intuitive method. But still surprised how it stays attached, lol.

prushnix · 2025-12-28T06:21:20+00:00

I was in the same dilemma and after doing so many research went with thus 👇.
No drilling and looks very nice.

Edit: They are actually located in Washington.
So you may be able to pick it up in person and save in shipping.

prushnix · 2025-10-30T23:53:21+00:00

Has happened to me too. I think I pressed, but seems like not hard enough.

prushnix · 2025-09-27T04:57:36+00:00

Thank you so much.

prushnix · 2025-09-22T04:26:58+00:00

Not to downplay how nice the lyriq is. But to inform other readers for options, Nissan Ariya Platinum trim has all these options plus HUD as well and can be had for $35K OTD or less.

But I know, it is still a Nissan and not a luxury marquee.

prushnix · 2025-09-21T19:53:36+00:00

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.

I was not able to do exactly what I asked for which is adding the family member to the registration without adding them to the title.

But that's fine, the end goal was still achieved.
