You can actually close the lid of your frunk without having to run the wire for the trickle charger under it (towards the front or side of the car). There is a gap in the cowl by the windshield that allows the wire to go through it, allowing you to close the frunk but not having it touch the wire!
Send a pic to Rick for next Tuesday. 👍
Keeping the cord through the front storage with the lid only partially shut (it eventually turns off the interior storage light) will keep a caution message on the DIC to keep one from driving away with the tender plugged in.
C5, C6, C7 I plugged them all in whenever they were in the garage...
Glad I watched this because I’ve been leaving my hood open. Cracked open a little bit, but I think the light stays on and it’s on for three weeks at a time. I don’t drive every day. Thanks for the video.
@@Vetteman372 thanks appreciate you watching and sharing that
I close mine to the first click. The light goes out, but the cord is still free to move more than it does if the frunk is closed all the way. I’m more comfortable doing that. Thanks for the video!
As soon as you buy a new car, go to Discount Tire. They will sell you road hazard after they inspect. Best money I’ve ever spent because tires are not road hazard under your warranty from Chevrolet or anyone else normally.
Thanks for the great video Rick/Chuck. Hope to see you at Corvettes at Carlisle.
Thank you Rick and Pope Chuck, for another informative and entertaining Tech Tuesday, (and another memorable Chuckism). Been enjoying your shows for 5 years and our amazing C8 HTC for nearly 2, (thanks to Rick).
Just for precaution when I plug my charger into my C-8 I also place the box the charger came in into the driver seat.
Just to remind me to unplug the charger before taking off. Better safe than sorry.
Rick whenever that day comes when you sale your first ZR1 you need to have Chuck and yourself do the first ZR1 send off pat together.
Thanks for showing service mode again. I knew how to raise the tonneau cover. Never knew you could lower it with the same maneuver on the key fob. Thanks Rick and Chuck !
Rick. you should do a video on the entire customer tutorial of introducing a new customer to their new car. There is so much to learn and retain it would a great tool to refresh the may details and all the C8 features. That is if you not already have done so. Thx. William
I am working on that and I will be burning jump drives for those I ship out
I prefer to run the cable by the windshiedl wiper arm base. Less bending of the cord.
Father Chuck and the crucification analogy on patching a tire! God bless you Fr. Chuck!
Informative, entertaining and completes my Tuesday.
Hey Rick, I thread my battery protection package cord on the backside of the hood (by the windshield wipers) so it doesn’t close on the cord. Much larger gap up there. 🤷♂️
Those orange wheels are sick ! ❤️
This is exactly what I do to my 2017 Grandsport convertible. I am still on the factory battery. 7 years old.
Hi Ricky! Hi Chuck! Always love me some Tech Tuesday!
Thanks, guys. Great stuff.
Also, thanks for another TIMBER pic.
Hi Rick and Chuck. Thanks for another informative Tech Tuesday. I hope you have fun and a safe time at Pitt Race, Rick.
I disagree with closing the frunk completely. If you happen to forget the charger is plugged in, the "frunk open" warning is a great way to keep from embarrassing yourself by backing out with the charger still plugged in as a friend of mine did... just saying
I agree! I ALMOST did that once with my C7. I was in a bit of a hurry to leave and almost did that.Luckily I had the charger hanging from a hose reel on the wall nearby and it caught my eye just in time to prevent ripping it out of the hatch and or the wall plug. Good advice!
@@JJAAZZMan I've actually got in and started mine once with the charger plugged in just to see the warning on the screen.
There's a simple solution to your fears. Simply print up a warning on a piece if paper,saying " charger plugged In" place it in front of your dash. I do and see it immediately whenever I open the door and sit behind the wheel.
On the C8 you can just run the wire out the back of the frunk lid closest to the windshield , close the frunk completely and plug in your charger….😊
Rick and Chuck, thanks for answering my HTC sequence question 🫡
Thanks another great Tech Tuesday! Love the Amplify Orange.
Great show guys!
Mr. Conti and Chuck great Tech Tuesdays vlog!! Keep up the fantastic work!! Rick,,Stop Dreaming and Start Driving sir!!👍🏽
Thank you Rick!!! Great episode.
My order for a 25 Z06 with high wing went through today, so don’t know if an order from last Thursday backed out or more wings became available. But looking forward to joining the family!
Congratulations kevin happy for you what color did you get?
@@Texas_Clay I went with a torch red HTC
@kevin. I just took delivery. Only regret I am still mulling over is not getting the Z07 package. I wasn’t sure stiffness of ride or the CCB reliability.
Are you getting Z07 and what are your thoughts
@@Texas_Clay I specifically didn’t get the Z07. The main reason is that I am not going to be tracking that much, so those tires would be not be optimal. I had similar tires before and you get nasty chatter at slow speeds, they are not great in the rain, and they wear super fast. Also, I didn’t want to pay for the brakes. As far as ride, I don’t personally know, but the reviews I have seen on it is that it isn’t horrible, since you can adjust it just street use.
So unless you are mostly tracking I think you did the right thing.
@@Texas_Clay did you get ppf on yours? Black with either the gloss or stealth is just sick!
I love those orange wheels. Those would look great on my rapid blue with orange stripe. :)
Excellent informative & helpful video!!!🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Hi Rick and everyone! Just out of work!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
What is work?🙄
Thanks for the Love my friend! Joe Lamb
AKA Super 8
Great video as always Rick!
Thanks my friend!
Thanks Rick and Chuck!! Is the C7 convertible you demonstrated on, one of your stock for sale? I will look on your website if it is out there. I like the idea of a camera in a nacelle. I almost fell out of my chair laughing at Chuck’s example!!!! That would leave a mark!! And probably not function as it should, a perfect comparison😂 thanks for a great Tuesday evening sirs!
Michelin says that you CAN patch a tire if properly done by their recommendations & still have ALL of the safety & speed ratings as a new tire, that's from the people who actually manufacture & warranty the tires, what you guys are saying is wrong
That's how you keep price up,supply less than demand !!
I can't believe an adult couldn't adjust outside mirrors. I've own a 1972 42 years never had a problem. My 2023 mirrors is prefect. I don't use camera settings.
At Ron Fellows driving school, they say to not close the lid all the way down.
Rick. As always, thanks for tech tuesday. While i understand you cannot plug a PS4 tire, is it ok to plug an all season tire?
Thanks for the feedback
Good evening to all! 💙🧜♀️
@@RainKemperman Hi Rain 💙
Are there rating for these aftermarket tires, for auto cross or novice tracking? How safe are they? Thanks!
Hi Rick, in the C8 it’s better to bring the cord up past the hinge to the top no pinching there at all. Then a question, the tender that comes with the ERay is the same as with the others but the ERay has a lithium battery and these battery tenders are lead acid chargers, is this not a problem?
😁
Hey Rick, enjoy all your videos and the rides segment on Tech Tuesday. Do you keep in contact with our friend Chuck at the old Corvette 918 , the guy who started the rides segment on his Corvette 918 Channel? I know he moved on and got into trucking and had a channel called Truckin Through Life. He hasn't posted in a long time now, just wondering if you have any contact with him. Anyway, thanks for all you and Chuck do on your RUclips channel.
Build as many as you want?! People can’t even get ERays.
Exactly thank you
Your buying from the wrong Dealers!
Hey Rick
Do you have a service or web site for used Corvettes? I have used all the normal sites and thought might have one.
According to Chuck’s logic on nails if he got a nail hole on the outbid the hand he’d have to replace the hand.
Maybe want to rethink that analogy.
What kind of diagnostic scanner is GM using now
Rick I know you read a lot of the comments so PLEASE TELL ME which video to watch where you discussed the 23 model trans service miles were changed AGAIN and GM is allowing folks to do it at 6500 miles???????? I’m at 6700 and my two years is a hair away now.
When can we build and order a 2025 stingray? The 2024s are still on Chevrolets website.
First allocations finished today even though builder not online yet sorry and thanks Chevy 🙄🙄🙄
Rick, when are they going to update the build and price for 2025 Z06? When will,the first allocations for Sebring and Habanero be?
Builder soon and should have been up already and probably next cycle in august
@@RickCorvetteContithanks Rick!
For the battery tender, is there any reason not to leave the frunk up? I am worried about forgetting about the tender and driving off with it still plugged in.
True and I don’t see the point in filling closing it all the way just to reopen it to unplug the tender
So unless someone parks outside there is ZERO reason to shut the frunk with the battery tender plugged in.
How do I send in a tech Tuesday question for Rick and Chuck?
I've had my 2023 for a year. And plenty of other cars. Why is it necessary to plug them in at all? I drive my car almost daily, gladly!!! so, I am confused this is a thing. I also used to work at a dealership.
Hey Rick why is the 17:27 in your video broke ?
Song?🤔🤔
The new ones just drive and toss after 3 years
if i dont charge all the time . and not drive the car . its can work 1day charge 2 hours its that work or have charge all the time
I basically leave the trunk open when I have the battery maintainer plugged-in to the trunk receptacle on my C7 convertible. To prevent closing on the cord, I gently lower the lid but stop before it power closes. The trunk light goes out after 10 mins. Obviously, she’s parked inside. The locks and alarm system seems to function normally. Does anyone see a problem with my procedure?
Does anyone make a cover to prevent the glare on the rear view mirror?
I think whomever that was said that GM will build as many as they can, he said that they will build as many as the economy could handle, which means you got have the duckies to get it.
Look where that battery protector is made........China. I thought Chevy was brand of America.
It doesn’t mean that their accessories are made here
Oh stop. Please. So are a bunch of the electronics and chips in it.
Chuck - your hand would heal, but certainly could subsequently fail if you decide to do some spirited peeing 🙂
They came out with the ZR1 and made a big mistake in my opinion they put the twin turbos in a 5.5 flat plane crank it’s not American muscle it’s European muscle they already have the ZO6 sounding like a Ferrari they should of put the twin turbo in a 6-2 cross plane crank then it would of sounded like American muscle bad move by gm
good work as usual guys, GM is a train wreck, why even come out with cars you cant produce, z06, eray, zr1, just a clown show.
Crap corvette...never buy one again..i had a 2016 z51 that was taken care of never tracked and maintenance was top notch..and valves blew up because of the poorly and stupid cylinder deactivation and i drove it mostly in manual mode since rick said that deactivated it and kept it in 8cyl mode..had 81k on it and still blew it up...waste of money..unreliable and undependable...waste of money so traded it on a truck..never again buy and waste money on a vette
Excellent informative & helpful video!!!🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
