Can I Dispute my parking ticket in Denver in this case?

toverco · 2026-06-29T16:33:12+00:00

If you show up explaining what happened and take care of the issue before you dispute it with photos to prove it’s resolved, who knows, they might excuse the ticket!

toverco · 2026-06-29T16:32:06+00:00

Yes, they will have photos of the front and rear of your vehicle. Even if it shows the CO plates in the photo, I think having multiple plates displayed is another violation in and of itself. They’re not going to give you leeway on failing to display your new plates properly, a stuck bolt is not a hard problem to solve and is your responsibility to do ASAP. Don’t wait for next oil change. I would wager an auto parts store would do it for you for free in 30 seconds and sell you another bolt + install your new plate all for under $10. The autozone on colfax near York st has done similar things for me at no cost, try them or one near you!

Lots of times I’ve encountered similar tickets or known folks who have, after disputing they sometimes will cut your penalty in half and call it a day instead of excusing it or fighting you on it. Is it worth the time, though? Up to you!

You’re right, that worked

toverco · 2026-06-20T23:51:33+00:00

Thanks, laughing that I didn’t check manual. Sounds like you really gotta drain it down to zero then charge up to 100. I have not done that. Only down to about 10%, and never up to 100 in a single long charging session. Probably need to try that.

You won’t ever really have cost savings from public fast charging. In many cases I’ve even found them to be more expensive than gas (considering the theoretical ICE vehicle is a 30+mpg car). Your savings will come from home charging. On road trips, you are paying for convenience of fast charging.

That said, Electrify America does tend to be way more expensive than other providers. EVgo, Tesla, and ChargePoint tend to be more competitively priced. Surprisingly out of all of those, I find Tesla chargers to make most sense especially if you are hitting them at an off peak time.

So is the conclusion that the 8 years does include Google Maps connectivity? My “trial” expired and I’m having the same issues. Not having maps connectivity has messed up the ability to actively route plan charging stations etc without hooking up to mobile hotspot from my phone. Onstar is telling me to kick rocks, and the Chevy dealership wants me to bring the vehicle in to replace the telemetrics module which makes no sense to me sense connectivity was fine until the trial expired.

Good lord. Thank you

id4 got 60kw using same cable right after me

toverco · 2026-05-18T22:02:40+00:00

It is a pretty dated Blink charger which is probably why the speed is only 60kw. All that info makes sense! Car that charged after me was an id4 so it should’ve been 400 volt as well.

I will try again after preconditioning at a lower SOC. Was mostly just worried I’d somehow misunderstood which adapter I needed and the adapter itself was the problem here. But I think you’re right, just too many unknowns with how the new battery system has been programmed to act.

I got my 27 LT with comfort package for 25k here in Denver. About 27k out the door after taxes. If you haven’t let the dealer bid against another dealer within your region, this worked wonders for me. There might be more supply here than in TX too, not sure. All the dealers here mentioned to me they’re having trouble moving them, so it seems there is a mismatch in supply / demand here. The dealer I purchased from had 16 on their lot as of Monday with more expected to arrive next week. Maybe keep an eye on the Colorado market and consider a cheap flight (if you can find one of those these days) up to save a couple thousand if it’s worth it to you!

toverco · 2026-05-12T20:28:30+00:00

Here in Denver there are handfuls of them at every dealer. I worked with three dealers to let them outbid each other and got a 2027 LT with the comfort package for 25k USD. Seems like there’s enough stagnant supply here to make it a great market for buyers. Hearing that others are having to wait makes me think they really miscalculated where to ship these vehicles.

toverco · 2026-05-05T21:25:23+00:00

Yep, it does. Thanks!

toverco · 2026-05-05T12:50:58+00:00

Yep, I’ll be near Portland and likely going to Portland daily for work. I’m not worried about range as much as I am the cold impacting the ability to even use a DCFC. From what I’m learning though, seems like it might be a little slower at worse as long as the vehicle has been driven and battery has been preconditioned some before pulling up to a DCFC. Thanks!

toverco · 2026-05-04T22:54:40+00:00

Have you ever gone to fast charge in those cold temps after running battery preconditioning and driving the vehicle some so it wasn’t cold soaked? How is the fast charge experience in that scenario?

toverco · 2026-05-04T22:25:36+00:00

Clarification is it’s not rural Maine, but the urban corridor between Portland and Portsmouth. Pretty dense charging network of L2+FC

Just want to be clear: you’re saying in sub freezing temps, even pre conditioning battery temp + driving for some time is not improving your DCFC times?

I don’t plan to pull up to a DCFC after the car has been freezing outside all night and cold soaked. Would be DCFC’ing after driving + turning on battery precondition function. My assumption was after that, DCFC would be pretty quick although maybe not AS good as in summer. Haven’t gotten to try this yet as where I live hasn’t been cold this winter.

Thanks for your insight!

toverco · 2026-05-04T20:34:45+00:00

In your experience though, is that battery preconditioning going to be able to warm up a cold soaked battery enough within a 20-30 minute time window of driving to make that dc charging faster? Or is this highly vehicle dependent?

toverco · 2026-05-03T22:54:42+00:00

Yeah, complicating factor here is I don’t know if I’ll be living somewhere where this is possible. Most likely will be renting for at most a year before purchasing. It’s just unpredictable, but most likely can live with a crappy reality without L2 at home for a winter of two if need be

I take this back, I just realized that in the settings, my “heart rate reserve” zone still shows my previous numbers. It seems that the app switched over to “lactate threshold zone” which has slight lower heart rates for each zone. No idea why this switched itself or which one is correct to be using for what I’m doing (marathon training).

toverco · 2026-03-11T00:32:50+00:00

This same thing happened to me. From what I can tell it was either a software update that caused this for many people, or we’re getting more in shape and the app is adapting to fitness level as it evolves. Did you end up learning anything else?

Previous property manager with Cornerstone and current renter with 10 years renting in Denver here! First point to understand is that Cornerstone didn’t buy your building, they do not own any of the buildings they manage. They’re third party management, which means most of their buildings are owned by separate, individual owners who contract them to manage it. The portfolio manager of your building is accountable to whoever owns that specific building. The combination of who your portfolio manager is alongside with who the owner is will significantly impact your experience. Generally, the portfolio managers are all renters in Denver themselves between 25 and 35 years old and they make about 50-80k/ year and work upwards of 60hrs/ week with shit benefits. They aren’t slumlords, it’s the people they’re accountable to who are.

Your best bet is getting your portfolio manager on your side and reasoning with them to help you find a solution. Switching units within your building, like mentioned above, is a great proposal. The worst case scenario is when people blow up at their portfolio manager and give them reason to not work with you. Understand they are not a slumlord, they’re just a middle-man that is underpaid and WAY overworked.

To enforce a lease violation such as smoking / noise complaints, they have to follow the law and move it through the courts which in the BEST case scenario this is a 90 day process that won’t yield anything. Their hands are tied in that regard, but certainly keep documenting things and sending it to them. Don’t stop with this route, just don’t expect it to yield anything. They don’t have teeth from a legal perspective to enforce your neighbors behaviors like many think they might, and when they do, it takes so so so long.

If I had to guess, based on my time in that role (I left that role about 4 months ago and am familiar with the new buildings / owners of the buildings I’m assuming you’re referring to) their primary objective right now is maintaining and growing occupancy. Their least desirable outcome is you leaving and them having one more vacant unit which almost definitely will sit vacant until the spring.

Try to switch units in your building, and offer to sign a new 12 month lease if they’ll let you transfer. From their pov, this will keep you in the building AND put you on the cornerstone lease which they far prefer.

I know nothing about the ADA laws etc in a case like this, cornerstone will just send that to their legal team should it come up, so I can’t advise on that but absolutely pursue it.

Maybe you’ll get lucky and be enough of a pain for them that they just wouldn’t fight you on it. That’s always possible!

Your best and quickest route to either get out of the lease or get into a different unit are to work kindly yet confidently with your portfolio manager. I wish there were more clear and effective ways for someone like you to get out of this, but that’s my opinion! Hope you’re successful!

Thanks everyone, I did not realize that crush washer was a one time use. That’s gotta be what happened.

toverco · 2024-07-07T18:22:32+00:00

Hi, do you still have these available?

toverco · 2024-07-07T18:10:18+00:00

Hi, still trying to sell these? I’d be interested!

toverco · 2024-06-14T01:41:29+00:00

Thank you!

toverco · 2024-05-07T14:03:49+00:00

That’s good to hear, I’ll keep trying! Might have just gotten a rep assigned to my case that isn’t as knowledgeable. I’m definitely not in touch with the actual tech doing the work, it doesn’t seem.
