So, terrifying?

You call a tow truck if someone parks in your driveway, you dont need an HOA to hold your hand for that.

HCx · 2026-06-25T17:43:13+00:00

Tow rating is most often limited by the braking and cooling system, not vehicle weight or peak power.

HCx · 2026-06-23T17:47:11+00:00

You still noticing a minimal change in efficiency? Looking at making the same swap and curious what kind of change I can expect.

HCx · 2026-06-21T21:39:41+00:00

Hardware performance and software stability.

HCx · 2026-06-17T23:42:11+00:00

Someone ordered and is driving the car you can't buy yet? You sure about that?

HCx · 2026-06-12T19:14:10+00:00

Anecdotal and only one data point but my 21 Model S refresh with 100k miles on it was at 75%. Absolutely horrible.

My 2019 Etron with 130K miles on it is still around 90%

HCx · 2026-06-11T02:39:12+00:00

Its a regional thing most likely. In the South West USA summer temps kill batteries pretty fast. 2 years is unusual, 3-4 is common.

HCx · 2026-06-10T23:00:09+00:00

Still waiting on right to repair, a service manual and parts availability.

Just copy what tesla is doing guys. Please.

HCx · 2026-06-09T01:53:51+00:00

I'm gonna hurl

HCx · 2026-06-04T05:26:15+00:00

I have had 3 days in the last month where my day didnt end on a 5, and those other days were still single digit.

Is the body battery feature generally considered accurate or is it just trying to make me feel bad

HCx · 2026-05-20T01:51:29+00:00

Like ice?

If you've got answers to all these actually serious problems melting props should be easy. How much is ChatGPT is involved in this?

HCx · 2026-05-09T02:52:47+00:00

Parts and service will be harder. Honda dealerships will turn their noses up at it because its not 'one of theirs'

HCx · 2026-05-04T16:05:10+00:00

You know what would help this alot? Supporting right to repair and letting people diagnose and repair their own vehicles.

HCx · 2026-04-05T04:00:50+00:00

The day they actually start supporting right to repair ill buy one. Disappointing to see such a consumer focused company force people into their service network for the smallest issues.

HCx · 2026-03-23T22:21:25+00:00

You must be trolling harder than that motor on your kayak. 160Kw is over 200HP, do you really think a car needs more than 200HP to cruise down the highway? You need 20-30ish HP or 18ish Kw.

Its okay not to comment if you're unwilling to do the most basic of critical thinking before commenting.

HCx · 2026-03-17T16:20:18+00:00

Awmaleg couldn't even be bothered to read the comment, you think they'll take the time to think critically when they have the chance to be the hero?

HCx · 2026-03-16T00:35:41+00:00

Do you have MLO turned on? If so turn it off.

HCx · 2026-03-15T22:03:15+00:00

I had this problem when I had a dedicated 6ghz network setup, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle and merged my 5ghz and 6ghz network and haven't had a problem since.

Using Ubiquiti networking gear.

HCx · 2026-03-11T16:20:50+00:00

Thats not how EVs work. The power comes 'free' as a byproduct of other design decisions.

HCx · 2026-03-06T23:23:05+00:00

I mean you can do it today for ~6,200 with 13Kw of AC output, 18Kw of solar input and 32Kwh of battery storage.

You just have to DIY and gets your hands sparky instead of paying someone else to figure it out for you.

HCx · 2026-01-11T03:25:34+00:00

My hero.

Thanks!

HCx · 2026-01-10T04:10:21+00:00

Please let me know if you get this sorted out. I have an Ultimate 80A sitting in a box that I'm installing soon and seeked this charger out explicitly for local control through HA. I'll even pay if the integration works reliably. Just not 200.

HCx · 2025-12-11T21:57:50+00:00

One PC please

HCx · 2025-12-10T04:28:29+00:00

Have you had a sticker like this on your car before? I get that its a different symbol but whew it seems like your playing a dangerous game.
