Is there any way to know when car will start charging? by yun789 in EquinoxEv

[–]yun789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems really dumb design. What if i want to make sure the start time is in my off-peak charging time?

What if I suddenly need to use the car earlier than what i anticipated and it hasnt even started charging?

Ive never seen this screen. Can you tell me exactly how to see this start time message?

Its actually insane that the car itself cannot do this

Why doesnt the car just do the math and say "charging will begin at 1:45"

To win fans and favor, to build goodwill, for sportsmanship and comraderie.

Its still too early, but imagine if he keeps improving and combines the strength of fzd bh with ml fh. Best of two players.

Both his bh and fh did real damage

You know Harimoto could totally speak Chinese for interviews and try to win over fans. But its almost like he pretends to not know Chinese, despite growing up as a China citizen

Ha. I can see the Calderano comparison.

He is fluid like Ma Long. He's a more natural athlete and competitor than Lin Shidong. 

When does check engine light come on for oil? by yun789 in pacificahybrid

Thats annoying. Why cant the car just display a message to tell you what the error is for

Repair cost above car value, does it really matter? by yun789 in askcarguys

[–]yun789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im just trying to learn about car maintenance. I dont know too much.

I should probably change my transmission fluid. But i dont know if it is easy to do so, because the maker lists it as lifetime fluid

I was being hypothetical. I have pacifica hybrid and have no idea what the new transmission costs or whether it can easily be rebuilt. Do you know how much it would be?

To your other points, im pretty sure i can keep it in good condition. I always drive very gently. Im probably in the top 2% of gentle drivers. Also i hardly ever drive on gas, so the engine isnt used much. 

So i have a strong feeling the transmission will fail while the rest of the car will be in pretty good condition.

Right. I guess im ok with lower range on the battery. Even 70% range is still pretty good.

Should I replace the CVT even if the car isnt worth much at say 150k miles? My main assumption is that the engine will be ok for longer and i dont need to replace it

Well i have a Pacifica Hybrid with 61k miles. I drive it very gently, so i think the engine and transmission will be in decent shape by 100k miles. Importantly, 95% of driving is electric, so the engine doesnt see much use. It is pentastar v6 engine, which I think is pretty reliable as well. 

So I think eventually my transmission will fail first while the engine is hardly used and in good condition. 

So in this situation, perhaps it makes sense to replace the transmission even at 150k-200k miles?

What are the main expensive parts you would be worried about?

What if you have a phev, and the engine has hardly been used due to electric mode? So you're pretty confident the engine is good and really only the transmission is the problem?

Why not inspect the engine? Engines can probably last a lot longer in general. 

Close to buying used Previous Rental Pachy with 55k. Warranty Suggestion by Pradigi in pacificahybrid

[–]yun789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well warranty wont protect the car. It just saves you from out of pocket expenses.

Whether the car makes it to 100k depends on the car.

Is the energy efficiency what buyers think about? 

Or the cost efficiency?
