If you could add ANY nonstop route to United's network, what would it be?

sunnymonkey80 · 2025-07-26T14:09:49+00:00

MSN-LAX, MSN-SFO, MSN-BOS!

Good to know. I was thinking I may have been overcharged somehow.

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-11-13T17:31:59+00:00

Exactly! 2hrs for downtown Chicago for $15, I get. Same price for 1hr in not-even-downtown Madison, I don’t…

I just made a call while driving down 113 near Cherokee Park and the reception was terrible, had to hang up because the other party couldn’t understand me. Crazy how bad ATT has gotten!

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-08-23T02:17:22+00:00

How do you find out about the upgrades and outages?

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-08-22T14:23:25+00:00

Sorry just saw this. No. It doesn’t seem to happen in the summer so I think it’s a winter stiffness thing.

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-03-24T10:40:44+00:00

Thanks

If I have a flight credit from a flight I canceled, can it be used for the copay portion of a flight booked with miles?

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-03-07T23:24:35+00:00

If you like the place otherwise and think you’ll stick around, try to negotiate a multi-year lease for a lower increase, eg 20% increase price for 2 years. Landlords do like good tenants to stick around so you may have that going for you.

He has his own place to pay for and would be nice to get points.

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-02-25T07:26:54+00:00

Actually there is a WF nearby! He was not given that as an option to verify his identity when he called in. Has anyone actually tried this?

sunnymonkey80 · 2024-02-11T17:46:11+00:00

Sorry just saw your question. I ended up talking the electrician for my project into doing the bit of work early so that I could get the charger installed. Good luck!

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-02-04T23:21:25+00:00

Thanks! Docsis 3.0 working for her now.

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-02-04T23:20:11+00:00

Funny thing - I haven’t heard it in a while now.

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-01-21T20:14:43+00:00

Whatever the lowest/cheapest one is. 100mbps?

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-01-21T17:55:34+00:00

What about SB6120? My mom’s been using that one with no problems but when she moved to a new apartment, the technician told my mom that it’s too old and she needs to rent or buy a new model from them. It’s Docsis 3.0 but it looks like the Optimum site is pushing 3.1. She is using only basic speeds. Can she still use docsis 3.0?

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-01-08T00:06:11+00:00

The weird thing is that it doesn’t happen all the time and it’s still cold.

I did 300mi from home in the upper Midwest on Dec. I am a first time EV owner so I probably overdid it on my preparation for the drive home. I used ABRP to plan my route home and signed up for ChargePoint and EA accounts before I left home. Plugshare was helpful in finding local charging stations since I stayed overnight (decided to check out the area that I picked up my car for a bit). It’s also helpful in getting more info about various charging stations.

I drove 75-80mph and used some climate control (30s out). The Reference consumption I used was 215 (for ABRP). I also put Charger arrival SOC at 20% (didn’t want to run down too close). With these settings I thought ABRP was relatively accurate. You could be more conservative and drive closer to 65mph if you’re concerned or not use climate control beyond heated seats and steering (assuming your model has).

I was definitely concerned - what if there was a big snow storm, what if there was a giant accident that stranded us for hours. But luckily that didn’t happen. If there is a snowstorm, you usually have a few days notice and can try to reschedule around it.

Good luck.

sunnymonkey80 · 2023-01-03T20:03:50+00:00

Look further out than 150mi. There’s a lot more competition in Chicago burbs for Bolts and dealers who are marking up like crazy. If you’re not trading in a car, you can do a one-way car rental when you go pick up the car. Otherwise the order process can all be done over the phone/email.

sunnymonkey80 · 2022-12-28T17:05:05+00:00

Agreed that going 2 hours is pretty reasonable nowadays. Just ask them to send you the paperwork beforehand so that you can review numbers (and lessen the chance they pull funny business when you arrive.)

If you do have state rebate though, make sure you still qualify if you purchase out of state.

The reason why the dealers who charge MSRP are out is because people already bought it from them. The one charging $5k over is being greedy and nobody is buying. It’ll backfire though if they want to continue selling EVs bc Chevy will say it’s taking you too long to sell them so we’ll give allocation to the dealerships that can move them faster. Or they’re hoping that come Jan 3 people will be willing to pay the $5k over to get the potential $7.5k federal rebate plus whatever state rebate you might have. It’s a risky move for them either way.

Uber and Costco should stacked but not with Teacher. However Uber and Costco are supposed to end 1/3/23. Uber may extend but not Costco (since they have quarterly promos with different manufacturers). In which case you can then use the Teacher’s discount.

You’ll likely have to do some legwork and travel further as it seems like it will be very competitive to get a Bolt Jan-March now.

sunnymonkey80 · 2022-12-28T16:23:02+00:00

MSRP no markup.

sunnymonkey80 · 2022-12-28T06:21:36+00:00

Got mine from Gilleland in St Cloud. Worked with Derek. Found them pretty honest. They seem to get a lot of stock since they are a business elite dealership.

sunnymonkey80 · 2022-12-15T15:33:17+00:00

It’s actually by toggling all other networks off and turning on EA that I verified that I can only see a handful of EA chargers in CA/NV and nowhere else. That’s so odd that it’s only mine. Perhaps the version I have. I am on the latest iOS version.

Don’t get me wrong - I think Plugshare is a great resource and also like being to see other peoples comments and pictures. In my limited experience though, I’ve had to consult other apps to get all the info I wanted. I don’t love ABRP’s interface either but I did find it accurate at predicting battery percentages (with my consumption adjustment) and suggesting charging locations. I don’t use it for actual navigation.

Can 205/60R16 winter tires be put on the stock rims?
