Guerrilla Gardening in Plano, Frisco

I have a small oak tree, sitting in a disintegrating pot in my yard. It popped up a couple of years ago, I assume from a squirrel. I don’t need another tree in my yard, so I was thinking of doing some Guerrilla Gardening and plant it somewhere that needs a tree.

Does anyone know of a place, preferably public, where I could plant the tree in the Plano or Frisco area?

Charging to 100% Procedures

I am probably overthinking this, but I have been roadtripping more in my R1S lately. I get nervous about my battery and charging it up to 100 percent. If I were to plug in before I go to bed, that means my battery would be sitting at 100 for about 5 hours before I depart.

Therefore, last weekend I changed up my procedures. The night before I travel, I plugged in and set my charge limit to 95%. Then, about an hour before my departure time, I updated the app to charge to 100 percent. That last 5 percent takes about an hour on my garage setup. Therefore, it hits 100 right before I leave. Its much easier than setting a schedule and doing the math to determine when to plug in for the charge level to reach 100 just prior to leaving.

Does anyone else have any other methods? I plan to keep my Gen1 R1S Quad for a long time, so I am doing my best for a long partnership....

Walmart Charging - Payment setup issue and resolution

Hi EV friends!

A new Walmart charger just opened up near me, and it doesn't have a physical tap-to-pay option on the stall. Because of that, you have to use the Walmart app to start and pay for your session.

When I tried to add my credit card directly through the card entry option on the EV charging page, the app repeatedly errored out. I tried a few different times on different days, but it just refused to save my information there.

The Workaround: If you run into this error, don't waste your time trying to force it through the EV screen. Here is what worked for me:

  1. Close and restart the Walmart app.
  2. Go into the main account menu (outside of the EV section).
  3. Add your card under the general/wallet payment options for your overall Walmart account.

Once I did that, the card successfully saved and became instantly available to use over on the EV charging side.

Just wanted to throw this out there as an FYI. If I encountered this buggy checkout flow, I'm sure someone else will too! Happy charging!
