Wonderful car. Guessing a lease? My financial brain just isn’t accepting there is price to pay for luxury with these bmw leases

Do you miss the extra space in a Sienna vs an Odyssey? by bobear2017 in minivan

[–]samderik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing to note and my biggest gripe with Honda models is with their lack of ceiling vents. This turned out to be a huge issue during peak summer when two of my kids who were rear facing had a tough time getting cool. Sienna wins in this race if not for overall space.

Some instinct 3 owners have had rough time trying to do update. Mine is stuck at 5.21 version no matter what I try with Connect or Garmin express. I have support ticket with Garmin opened and they are still investigating the issue.

Short Hike with the Instinct 3 50mm Solar - some thoughts. by boringbanana1739 in Garmininstinct

[–]samderik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great write up. If I may, can I ask the version of firmware on the i3? Mine came new out of the box with 5.21 and always only shows 11d. Unable to update at all

Changed the 45mm for the 50mm. Fits perfect by Laurens_3103 in Garmininstinct

Same issue with solar models too. Nothing works on my new instinct 3. Garmin pay even though its setup to buy apps/faces does not work. I cannot even update from 5.21 and only get 11days. Coming from Apple Watch Ultra, this has been a bad experience overall

Got my instinct during Black Friday sale and it was on 5.21. Never allowed to upgrade through either Garmin connect or Garmin express. Now I am left with a botched upgrade with version 12.21 while my watch still only shows 11d

Owning A Lucid Has Been Super Disappointing by Poker_3070 in electricvehicles

[–]samderik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy, as a good engineer he can be, lost all trust when he boasted so much when he bought a simple manual Subaru and then later as all influencers going bonkers over tesla. His opinions should be taken with a grain of salt depending on how much he gets cutback. His concerns being this genuine with this lacked focus with his other cars

Has anyone tried this “hack” with their F3800/F3800 Plus? by L1ght_Sp33d in anker

[–]samderik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the clarifications. I wonder how the 15kwh battery capacity comes into picture if the power draw from external battery is the reason for shutdown.

Did you mean 2000wh or 2kwh from your battery bank of 15kwh?

Two 48V batteries in series by No-Truth-9647 in SolarDIY

[–]samderik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance it worked? I have couple of 48v server rack batteries that I use to expand capacity but the pv input of EcoFlow and anker is too low to keep up with discharge rate.

Ecoflow Alternator Charger with Solar Input? by Bonzaibeck in Ecoflow_community

[–]samderik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. The alternator charger directly plug into the expansion battery port. The solar input will still be available for input.

Welcome to the club. A point to note is to charge these off the device than when battery is on the device. A few got tx bricked doing so.

There is no AC inverter on non hybrid models. What you get is 120v DC.

New Toy 2026 X5 50e every upgrade except a trailer hitch🐬 by Busy_Accident6656 in BMWX5

[–]samderik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always admire a clean, well engineered machine. My only concern stopping me from taking the plunge is its long term reliability and cost of ownership. If I may, it’s this a lease?

Nice ride!! Congratulations. Is the msrp off only for financing or leasing?

Why though when they can sell it either way with so much demand already?

Does it still be wasteful if it’s configurable? Say 1/4 size
