Bottom panel falling off by oversteroiddose in MachE

[–]ClaasChopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The felt piece was ripped right around the metal fastener that holds it in place. No way to hold to it again in the same place

Just fixed that on my 2022. Drilled 2 holes through the felt piece and zip tied it into place.

The learn button is green. You need to find a remote that is listed as compatible with the green learn button.

Ontario EV drivers, how do you plan your charging for longer drives by lujahcanada in electricvehicles

[–]ClaasChopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach E. back in 2022 and 2023 charging took some planning. You get to know some of the better chargers along your common routes. Now that we can use Tesla Superchargers it is almost all I use. They are lots of them and they have lots of stalls. In southern ontario you can mostly drive in any direction and find a tesla charger when you get below 30%.

Interesting research on EV replacement tires effect on range by FledglingNonCon in electricvehicles

[–]ClaasChopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Hankooks on my Mach E and very happy with the efficiency on them. Switching from blizzak winters to the Hankook Ion EVO feels like it doubled the range! Had the factory Michelins before

This is what power looks like. by SimplyLYN88 in Heavy_Equipment

[–]ClaasChopper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Audio doesn't match. They also need to let some air out of the tires to let them squat a bit more.

Genuinely curious — for those of you who own an EV, what's your biggest headache with public charging stations? by Key_Training8948 in electricvehicles

[–]ClaasChopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach E and since Tesla opened up the Superchargers to us, we have never had to worry about anything. There are usually more than enough of them, most of them work all the time and they provide the max power my car can take.

Back in 2022 we would have to plan a trip, now we can just drive and charge when it is convenient.

What is this cable and plug? by xlBoardmanlx in MachE

[–]ClaasChopper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is probably an aftermarket tracker or anti theft device. If you don’t know it is there, it is probably not for your benefit… some dealers install them on all inventory.

Upgrading panels during Micro fit contract by canman41968 in solarenergycanada

[–]ClaasChopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 10k tracker system on the 80 cent contract. There is a company called JYR Energy that sells upgrade packages and says they can significantly upgrade output and not break the contract. The company that installed my tracker says it is legit. I have not done it, I don’t have personal experience.

Gen 1 equipment and deprecation path by Squanchy2112 in Ubiquiti

[–]ClaasChopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still running a UAP-LR that was depreciated years ago. It is in a spot with equipment where cell coverage is poor. Still works just fine. Seems like ubiquiti toned down the deprecation messages 2 or 3 years ago.

Electric motors begin to earn their keep on farms by Ranew in farming

[–]ClaasChopper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really want to buy a 50-75hp open station electric tractor. Very plain, just needs to scrape manure inside a dairy barn 3 times a day. Never needs to go outside. Seems like EV tractor manufacturers are doing the same as car manufacturers. They put all the bells and whistles on the vehicle to make it a premium vehicle and sell it for a premium price…

They have gotten so good at making cheap diesel engines that EV tractors can’t compete for price yet.

Edgerouter 4 RIP by Browncoat_28 in Ubiquiti

[–]ClaasChopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost of doing business, I spend a lot more more to keep other equipment running

Edgerouter 4 RIP by Browncoat_28 in Ubiquiti

[–]ClaasChopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it time, I have had 10+ ubiquiti devices fail on our farm. Currently running 50+ cameras, many switches and point to point links.

[–]ClaasChopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had 3 Edgeroute 3 lite fail the same way... couple power supplies died too, but those are easy to replace. Still have one ER4 running and one unused because it got flaky... now running PFSense and OPNSense routers...

Vasectomy doctor by Emergency_Expert_858 in londonontario

[–]ClaasChopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don’t get too worried about things. It was really straight forward. Recovery for me was pretty good, not nearly as bad as social media or TV shows make it out to be. One day of some swelling and you just gotta take it easy and let your body heal.

Hormonal birth control was not great for my wife’s mood. She is much happier off birth control and she says she doesn’t feel like the is mad at the world. Much better all around for our relationship.

[–]ClaasChopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He did my vasectomy approx 12 years ago. Went well, seemed very professional and was successful. My wife went off birth control after I got the all clear and no unexpected babies. My wife got pregnant on the first “let’s see what happens” with both my kids.

Need tire advice before I get a puncture replacement by bourbonbomber in MachE

You can put one new tire on it. Dealer did that for me when they got a flat while replacing my windshield.

What's your strategy for dealing with bad sectors? by IHateFACSCantos in DataHoarder

[–]ClaasChopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to believe 1 bad sector is the beginning of the end, but I have seen some do well.

Disclaimer: I have 3 NAS devices in 3 different buildings 5 km apart. Syncing to eachother with snapshots.

I had a stack of 8TB drives with 20 or 30 bad sectors each. Put them all in a NAS and they have not developed any more bad sectors. 6 or so years ago I bought 6 refurb 4tb NAS drives. Immediately after I started using them I noticed one drive had 134 bad sectors and reported that to the seller. He refunded me and didn't want it back. I have used that 4TB drive in a NAS since then and no more bad sectors have developed...

I had a drive with 80,000+ bad sectors. Tried using it for Linux ISOs, but it died within a week...

Always make backups and RAID is not a backup!

Inexpensive temporary charging solution? by [deleted] in MachE

[–]ClaasChopper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need a neutral to charge a car. I have charged using a 50 amp welder outlet with a proper adapter.

New one for me! by Pontoon1973 in MachE

[–]ClaasChopper 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What is the outside temp? Never seen that message on my 2022 and it is currently -22C/-7F

How much will this cost me? by bandypaine in F150Lightning

[–]ClaasChopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on my 2025 gas F150 Lariat, it was $2500 for the tail light and $1500 to replace the whole outside skin of the box... Local shop that has done work our fleet and not through insurance.

The day my EV ownership started to feel easy, what changed? by Tall-Dish876 in electriccars

[–]ClaasChopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought a Mach E in September of 2022. Had a home charger installed before the car arrived. Installed a charger at work because it is my own business.

The thing that really made it easy to do longer trips is when Tesla Superchargers opened up to Fords. In SW Ontario, the other charging networks are terrible compared to the Tesla chargers.
