I've had my 2024 for about 2 - 1/2 months now, and it only came with one fob, which has worked great from surprisingly long distances until now. I was surprised last night when it started working very intermittently, even from close distances, while on a trip a couple hundred miles from home. This made me very nervous so I ran out late at night and found a place selling the right batteries, totally overpaid for it, and swapped immediately. Surprisingly, this made no difference in how it worked at the hotel, but I discovered in the process that it was working fine everywhere else. It didn't work any better with the new battery while I was there, but it's been working fine ever since I left. Has anyone else ever had an experience where a fob malfunction appeared to be localized?

Full disclosure, I'm on a midnight deadline for a WWU course and this assignment just got away from me. Looking for someone with personal knowledge of traditional plant uses - could be medicinal, textiles, or anything else interesting. I'm willing to pay for your time. (DM to discuss)

-

*The Assignment*:

Interview an elder about traditional knowledge about plants/food/cooking/gardening.

-

 Keeping in mind the themes from Braiding Sweetgrass, interview someone about uses of plants, which may include food, cooking, or gardening. *Ideally, try to interview someone old enough to remember uses of plants that may not be common anymore*. Post a description of the conversation or a transcript of the interview itself in your response here. 

-

*My questions*:

1. Please describe a traditional use of plants found in your area.

2. Tell me a bit about how you learned this practice.

3. How does it relate to your social circle, faith tradition, or other group?

4. Is this practice connected to any specific relationships in your life or work?

5. Is this knowledge in danger of disappearing?

5a. If so, why? (Replaced by industry, etc).

5b. If so, what is being done to preserve it?

6. How do you benefit from this knowledge?

7. Do you think other people should learn about this?

8. If so, how can they get started?

9. Is there anything else you'd like to share?

If this is something you can help with today, please comment here or message me. I will add an update here if I find answers elsewhere. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!

Apologies if this has been covered but my searches found nothing recent. I've had my 2024 PHEV for about a month and the tires are at around 38 cold, close to spec. I was an early adopter with a Volt and the GM recommendations were criminally low, so badly that running spec pressure produced all the classic signs of underinflation - edge wear, chipping, more frequent blowouts, etc. After the community figured it out, most of us ended up running much higher PSI and not only dramatically increased efficiency but got way more life out of our tires.

I love efficiency, and I don't mind a stiffer ride, so I'm wondering, for those who pay close attention to tire pressure, what do you think is the best setting for efficiency? And what's the tradeoff like for tread life?

I just got a '24 hybrid and need racks - it's the PNW summer and my fams and I are all about paddling and camping.

MOPAR has the rail/rack kit on back order with no estimated date. Should I chance it? I want to figure this out ASAP
