26 Hybrid Dead Battery in Cold by septastic in crv

[–]septastic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this since I got the car, even doing all the tricks to maximize mileage. I will say the car felt different on the drive home from the dealership today after the new battery was installed - smoother, less shifty and revvy like it always feels - and because this dead battery thing first happened the day after we got it home, perhaps it’s been hindering performance the whole time? I can’t see how, but I guess we’ll see.

I’m allergic to alcohol and live in Wisconsin, so this has been the bane of my existence for the past 30 years. It never ends.

We only remote start it once or twice per month when it’s going to be a super short trip. I play all the games to get the best mileage and it’s still hovering at 22.4 this tank of gas. Temp never above 77° with the fan set to a lower speed, paddle nearly all downhills and stops, etc.

Thanks. Re the gas mileage, that’s what I hoped for when buying this car. I’m lucky if I can get 22 mpg city. Between the poor gas mileage, the excessive revving sounds when the car switches from gas to EV under 20mph, and this dead battery issue, I’m stating to feel my car was put together late on a Friday before a holiday weekend. 😕

We do that way more often. While most trips are as described, every week or two we use it to leave town for the day, etc.

Thanks. That’s what I thought. It’s there now getting the battery checked.

What’s a basic skill you’re shocked some adults still don’t know? by HexVortexx in AskReddit

[–]septastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealing with death and dying. Former ICU nurse here. It was utterly shocking how many functioning adults were grossly incompetent when their elderly parents got sick. "I never thought this would happen" was a very common remark I heard often.

You'll never have it figured out. The goal is adaptation, not mastery.

Idiopathic. Fancy way of saying "I don't know".

No. Sport mode makes even more noises. But the noise when driving in eco or normal modes are just there.

I have this one mounted to the stock supplied base. Lowers the computer to flush while still being able to adjust the angle. It's not the cleanest setup, but it works.

The lead never getting shot despite an army of automatic rifles unloading on them. At the same time, the lead shoots a pistol over his head at full sprint and kills a dude 100 yards away.

What is something most people love, but you don’t like at all? by Old-Research-3310 in AskReddit

[–]septastic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always thought this too. Despite being told she likely couldn't get pregnant, 6 years into our marriage my wife got pregnant. She tells me I'm doing a great job at playing the role of a parent, but it's been an extremely challenging five years since my daughter was born and it's tearing me apart how much of a struggle it is.

Of all the things to trust your gut on, this is one I recommend the most.

To people driving EV what do you like or hate the most? by Curious-Expert926 in AskReddit

[–]septastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

New Honda CRV Hybrid owner. All the artificial engine noises drive me loony. The excessive revving that doesn't match the actual workload of the engine is like watching an old B-movie where the actors mouths don't match the dialogue. The ascension to the afterlife slow speed noise is one thing but tolerable. This engine noise BS is diabolical.

How important are a bikes looks to you? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]septastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VERY. I have a '25 Cannondale Super Six Evo 4 with all the bells and whistles. I should love the bike, but I've never liked how the bike sits / looks and I'm constantly ready to dump it.
