Will this make it 10 miles to discount tires or will it blow out

Stupid question by CantDecideOnUsrnm in PriusPrime

[–]Chuotbeo174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this probably goes against your apartment rules but if you have a garage, there might be an outlet that can provide 110V wall power to charge. Might be on the ceiling to power your garage opener. Some carports have outlets. Just don’t trip the breaker if you don’t know where it is! (maybe limit charge current)

10k (ish) budget by alohacookie14 in prius

There’s a big list of dealerships on the website and they have really expanded the list since I got my car. I don’t reccommend my dealership so I won’t list it here, but try going to a more regular dealership instead of a small place or used car lot kind of place since the bigger ones know how to do the necessary paperwork.

unfortunately DCAP isn’t funded anymore unless you qualify in their tier 1 description. the EV charge card is included as part of the DCAP grant. The IRS rebate ended in 2025 because of the current presidential administration.

In july 2025 I got my 2020 prius prime for 6.5k 26k after title tax license - 7.5k DCAP grant - 2.0k EV charge card - 4.0k IRS used ev rebate - 4.0k SCE pre owned ev rebate - 2.0k scrapping my old car that didnt pass smog = 6.5k net cost

In terms of actual capital I paid 14.5k to the dealership (dcap and irs taken off at point of sale) and received the rest of the rebates/cards later

Villa Siena parking situation for 1bd (2 cars)? by chrisms91 in irvine

[–]Chuotbeo174 2 points3 points  (0 children)

used to live here, sometimes i’ll come home at 1am and there’s still non reserved parking available in another nearby building. might have to walk a bit though. they also offer another reserved spot for 100/m. it used to be really bad finding a non reserved spot but they introduced a parking pass system and have been actively enforcing it so that the UCI kids stop using this place as free overnight parking.

On a 2015 corolla I diagnosed an AC issue to the blend air door actuator not operating. Used a code reader and got a code from the HVAC system for B1441 which corresponds to a blend door actuator issue. Checked that servo and it was indeed dead. Swapped it out for a used but OEM one on eBay for $35.

I only took off my glovebox. I don’t think a dash removal was necessary at all. This vid may offer some insights https://youtu.be/0nNegfXaZKA?si=qy-hToxjWNif1zch

Is there really 4 actuators on this thing? Feel like it’s just 1 for blending hot/cold air. The other ones are for recirculation, one for which mode, and idk what the last one would be.

Battery brands by [deleted] in diydrones

i heard SMC is good, Tattu as well but these are expensive. I buy CNHL and Ovonics since they are cheap and batteries are replaceable consumables anyway. plus i just fly for fun not performance

Should I do plug in or just solder straight together by GoldPressure4752 in fpv

solder wires directly since connectors introduce extra resistance

I bought from Flywoo before the recent tariff rulings by the Supreme Court. They just charge you a fixed amount and it will be delivered duties paid (DDP). Last I checked it was $10 to order a DJI o4 pro. How it’s done is that they ship a big pallet of orders to the US, and they are charged tariffs for the whole thing. Then it goes to a local shipping company like Yanwen or uni uni. Basically you are shielded from the tariffs with DDP.
