BECM warranty question

So I've been tearing my hair out researching this, and hoping the community can help.

I took my car in to the dealership for repairs recently because it was having issues where I couldn't get the car to move on electric, only gas - and even then with reduced power. Then eventually it wouldn't move at all and had to have it towed. The shop told me it was an issue with the BECM and it needed replacing for $2800.

Researching here and elsewhere, it seemed like this was covered by GM under TSB N232432680. However, the dealership is telling me only the Voltec warrants applies, which expired in 2024.

I also went to the GM Experience page and tried to find warranty information, but it says it could find my VIN??

I'm the second owner on this car, we both live in WA State if that's relevant. It's a 2016 Volt with 121k miles. Is there anyone I can do, or am I SOL? Any help greatly appreciated!

Daybreak said I had sleep apnea, sleep test said I didn't. Not sure where to go from here.

Basically title. I've been having increasingly worse energy and headache upon waking issues for last year or two. About four months ago my wife was up all night and commented in the morning that it sounded like I was "choking", suggested I might have sleep apnea.

Scheduled an appointment with my doc, but since it was several months out and I'm impatient I also decided to try daybreak test. It came back with a result of "severe" sleep apnea. They tried to sell me on their mouth guard but I demurred until I talked with my doc, who scheduled me another (at home) sleep test with a local sleep center.

Just got the results back and..I apparently don't have sleep apnea? I'm really confused, because I feel like I have all the symptoms, and if not this why the hell am I so tired all the time??? Not sure what to do next, seeking any and all advice.

I've got this area in my backyard that's sandwiched between grass, gravel, and my chicken coop that's currently filled with a reddish mulch. I replaced the grass that was there originally because it never grew particularly well under the tree, but frankly the mulch drives me crazy and I hate it. It gets mixed into the gravel and the lawn any time my dog runs over it or my chickens are out for some free roaming. Does anyone have an alternative to the space? I'd be open to planting something underneath for better soil retention, but quite frankly I'm not sure it'll do well with the giant tree looming over it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that point.
