He calls me 10 minutes later saying he’s got it started somehow and to cancel the bcaa.
Now I’m concerned that the ICE battery is probably going because he only drives in the city and he’s often stupid with leaving his headlights on.
I rush to his house in east van, grab his car and then take it all the way back to my place in Richmond and buy a new Costco AGM battery.
Since I got the car I also swapped his wipers and did an oil change.
I bring it back to him and he’s like it’s weird how it starts after 10 minutes.
I’m like wait a minute…. I should have fucking clued in. The car was actually running but because he’s parked the ICE didn’t kick in and he was running in EV mode. It’s dead silent and the old coot is deaf. Fuck I’m so stupid. I should have told him to put it in drive and see if it even moves before I do this whole Shabang.
TLDR: don’t buy geezers hybrids or EVs. They’ll call you asking stupid question and it’ll drive you insane
Oh by the way I went to go get the battery tested afterwards and of course it’s fucking fine.
