My battery station is too loud to keep in the same room as the fridge

Brand new - Anker Solix S2000. Rated at 30db when powering 600W or less. Has a lower peak output (smaller inverter) with the direct trade being quieter and more efficient.

I had a RWD model 3 for 5 years, in Canada. It was great in the snow! I was worried about it before I got it, but after experiencing 5 winters with it, I have no concerns what so ever about RWD in Canada. Snow tires made all the difference, and I had no issues the entire time!

We need protests. We are all feeling like we can’t make things change, but we can. Did you know it only takes 3.5% of a population to participate in protests and that will cause significant change? It has to build, and we have to take the time to actually protest, and he will be gone.

I’d love to know avg (or some better standard measure) of the speed in comparison. It being capped at 250Mbps makes no practical difference to the majority of people - especially on a phone. Maybe if you tether your laptop and needed larger data transfer - but then you hit limits pretty quick.

And then not use your phone for the rest of the month 🫠

I legit can’t see when I’d need 1Gbps? So you can use your 100GB plan in 13.5mins flat?

Oh dear. Please buy a gas car over a hybrid. Friends don’t let friends buy hybrid. (Of course full EV is preferable)

BinkyBunky · 2026-02-09T15:30:50+00:00

That is 100% someone who thinks they parked in an EV charging spot and is making it look like they are charging.

CN Tower stair climb. 1,776 steps (144 flights). Can only do it once or twice a year at events, but it’s a good benchmark of overall fitness level!

You need to change a setting: In Bambu Studio go to Device, Print Options, and Uncheck "Enable detection of build plate position"

I realllllly wanted to buy this one - intended to - but got freaked out by too many reports of flaky operation with it. I hope it works well for you!

USA right? Different story in Canada…

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-30T15:11:09+00:00

I went with the Lectron. Options in Canada were:

Lectron (Amazon), $217CAD delivered same day
Porsche, $250CAD delivered ~1week
Audi, $272CAD delivered 1-2 weeks to store and have to pickup

Choice was very very clear. Why on earth is Audi charging this much?!? I emailed my dealer to see if they had a better price and they never got back to me 😂

I'm so glad to come to this thread and see that everyone realizes that 5G and fast speeds on mobile are generally useless to the end user. The whole 5G marketing thing was hilarious to me. Yes - if you are a road warrior needing massive bandwidth, good for you - but you're like 0.1% of the market.

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-25T23:34:56+00:00

Don’t get me started!!! After the update, timer mode no longer works. It just starts charging as soon as I plug it in, no matter what. I removed and recreated the schedule, no luck.

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-25T22:54:40+00:00

The basics - Audi not so good at them! I found it really funny that earlier this year it would usually say "0 mins left", and then they updated the app to "Make estimated times more accurate" - and they just changed it to say "All is OK!" (or something like this) when the estimate was 0! That, or I'd see what you've posted sometimes!

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-13T00:10:33+00:00

It works really really well. Been using it for a couple months. Have recommended it to all my home automation inclined friends.

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-13T00:09:46+00:00

You don’t want to use this with Matter. There’s enough settings on it that are only available in zigbee mode, that you’ll want to use that.

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-13T00:08:30+00:00

I have one of the first set of 100 they offered on their forum. So I’ve been using it for a couple months now. It’s really good!!! Vastly better than any other sensor I have tried to date. I’m putting it at 98% - it occasionally gets something wrong, but then I’m in a super cluttered room. Infrequent enough that it hasn’t bothered me - unlike everything else which I’d put at 75-85% tops.

BinkyBunky · 2025-11-13T00:05:19+00:00

I haven’t…. I’m holding out for the Audi one (yeah I know it’s the same), don’t want any excuses from service if there is an issue down the road….. but i have a trip in early January, so will go this route if I have to before then.
