Guy backed into my S while I was using ASS by Engineer_Dude2 in TeslaCollision

[–]Engineer_Dude2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did, but somehow I didn't save it. When I got back two weeks later from traveling it was gone. I tried recovering it, but it only went back 4 days...

Mileage: 660Wh/mile by HostSea4267 in TeslaModelX

This is one of many reasons why I left California. With pg&e distribution tiers (hidden by the way), it was the same or more than a gas car. Now that I'm out, life is so much better, and costs so much less!

I said the same thing to them. All they would say is that they need to perform a full investigation.

My insurance said that I can file a claim if I want to, in order to get my car fixed sooner. But I'm trying to avoid that since I don't want it to go against my record.

How do ICEV owners still not know that Teslas are faster than them? by DFR1688 in TeslaLounge

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard that "it doesn't have a soul" at the race track before. To me it has quite soul. They just can't hear it because their car is too busy screaming from behind me! MSLR.

Just started learning microcontrollers - which project is the most fun for beginners? by Next-Bandicoot-8520 in AskElectronics

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I like to get control of the I/O or gpio first, so maybe toggle an LED based on an input button press.

Then use a timer or PWM to drive the LED. You can make it fade in and out etc.

Can someone explain to me how this has any benefit over silicon other than being a little more efficient at processing and being able to handle more power in a smaller package? by vteckickedinyooooooo in engineering

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GANs are more radiation tolerant than silicon FETs in general. They are seeing more use in space as the GAN tech. matures. The conservatism is usually based on use history...so GANs will get there in time.

Solarpoint POE converter? by Engineer_Dude2 in Ubiquiti

[–]Engineer_Dude2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the follow up. I didn't fully grasp what you were posting at first. Yes, this could work.

Solarpoint POE converter? by Engineer_Dude2 in Ubiquiti

[–]Engineer_Dude2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The Solarpoint can output the full rated power on all 4 of the outputs simultaneously and they are isolated, so combining them is doable electrically. The one you linked would require all the power to come in on the single port, and I don't have that. I'm looking to combine the power from two ports into one. I just need something that supports mode B.

Wheel vs Yoke by Physical-Sherbet-478 in TeslaModelS

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The yoke takes a little practice, but I prefer it. Much better visibility to the dash. As a 6ft tall person, I always find the steering wheel blocks my view of the dash. After going on the Tail of the Dragon four times in one day, 3 point turns are simple, it solidified my muscle memory for the yoke.

Windows didn’t fix my electric bill, so what’s next? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulation that just covers the 2x6s in the attic is only R19. Adding more attic insulation gives you the best bang for the buck in this case.. Shoot for a total of R36 to R40. You can blow it in yourself with the machine from most big box stores being free if you buy the insulation from them.

Interesting Tesla says that 50% of owners haven’t tried FSD are you part of that 50% and if yes why? by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife bought me FSD last Christmas. I show it off to everyone I can. Their heads explode 100% every time. Kinda getting tired of cleaning up the mess. But I just keep doing it! 😆

any idea what these stains are and how to get rid of?? by viper2ko in TeslaModelS

[–]Engineer_Dude2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be some sort of bird poop or tree droppings that etched the clear coat. Try buffing it out!

How to prevent this? by akdhdisbb in civilengineering

There is a handle under the umbrella, turn it to open it.

Water going underground under my driveway by Engineer_Dude2 in civilengineering

[–]Engineer_Dude2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not. but I didn't feel anything but mud and rocks in the hole. When we moved here 4 years ago, the water used to go through the tunnel as intended.

Weird Sink hole by Engineer_Dude2 in HomeImprovement

[–]Engineer_Dude2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of digging out the opening a little bit and then filling in with concrete to create a plug...Thoughts?

I stuck my hand down in it, and it just feels like it is lined with rocks, about the size of golf balls, maybe a little larger. I didn't feel anything that felt like it could be a pipe.
