Oh yeah - dog ramps FTW. between that and suspension my back and knees have never thanked me so much ! I have only had to lift my wheel anywhere once, and that was on delivery where the truck was too big to make it up the drive and the delivery driver's trolley was broken, as were both our backs and spirits shortly afterwards !

Yeah, I like the nice foldable doggy ramp, though it only works for cars with boot floor flush with the edge. For other cars or people who put their wheel behind the front seats it's still a bit of lifting exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely! Not long after upgrading from V8 to V12-HT I got this to deal with short staircase, as my back was killing me carrying the new heavy wheel several times a day up and down (and the stairs are just steep enough to make rolling the V12 up or down the stairs fairly uncomfortable too): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is still in the void, UPS went silent since the initial status update 2 days ago ...😥 That probably means that it is on a train, if it is coming from the other side of the country.

Not to divert anything... but speaking of Mount Baldy, Julian Sands is still missing a month later. I guess if you're going up there, stick to the roads ! I find it slightly surreal that all these wheels go routinely to the top of that area possibly just a few miles away from where other people are having horrible life and death struggles doing it on foot. They've had 14 rescues on the go on that mountain in the last month ! Edited February 11, 2023 by Cerbera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEC Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just now, Roadpower said: That probably means that it is on a train, if it is coming from the other side of the country It's in another country within the continent (about half day travel by truck), physically being received by UPS this Wednesday. It will arrive to main DHL depot nearby and then to local one here. Currently no delivery date is listed yet, so sometimes mid next week hopefully. My initial estimate way back was mid January to mid February, so it will be still within the range. On the positive side, all the accessories ordered way after the V13 already arrived, sitting here ready to be installed / used. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efing UPS requires login to file claims (or even perform advanced tracking) and, of course, when I try to reset the password, I get: >Error >We're sorry, the application encountered an error during processing. Plus, you need to provide BOTH username and email address to be even able to attempt password reset. Well done UPS for being user "friendly".

I had the "Delay" status several times before with other deliveries, usually due to weather conditions, but this is the first time the "you may start a claim to provide a resolution" bit showed up there, which worries me a bit ... I don't mind the delay, as long as it will eventually show up in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need also to ask them about the replacement motor bolts, but I'll leave that until the wheel is safely here (or confirmed lost in 5th dimension). Did you opt with eWheels to swap the bolts yourself? If yes, would you mind providing a detailed pictures of both the original as well as replacement bolts for my reference (indeed once you'll decide to swap those)? Thanks.

So far haven’t seen the bolts yet. I was thinking to ask for them when I place a new tire order or a fast charger or whatever from ewheels.

I know what you mean. I have yet to reach any of the speeds my Master is famed for. Even 40 kph feels ludicrously fast at the moment, and I have trouble finding places to even do that for very long ! I am very jealous of all you US guys and your miles and miles of unpopulated but surprisingly well-maintained roads next to breath-taking vistas and your freedom to use them !
