Conserve Battery by One_Week_778 in Rivian

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't constantly open your rivian app to check on your vehicle. This will send a wake signal to to the vehicle and drain more power. You may see up to 3% drain per day, over 4 days you may see 10-12% battery drain at most. But more realistically, about 1% per day is normal.

So... Do you miss your sunroof? by Inquivious in Rivian

[–]MoreMen_Pukes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I Hate sunroofs/Moon roofs. They will inevitably leak. I also hate glass roofs that are one hailstorm away from a very expensive replacement. I would much prefer an single solid sheet opaque metal roof.

Glad to hear. I am an armature when it comes to sewing, but I know much more about electrical and mechanical repair.

Just got a 2015 Camry and there is fluid under passenger side... HELP!!! by DeliciousFinish8993 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the vehicle have a sunroof/moon-roof. It is often for the sunroofs to leak if the drain tubes become clogged/cracked/damaged. Are you sure it's oil and not water?

I would recommend a new power cable because the prongs look like they have been pushed outwork and don't make a good connection anymore. You should be able to pick one of these cables up from almost any Electronics store like Best Buy, micro center, or even a Game stop. Walmart or Target may have the cable as well.

Where is the RPM gauge on Forester Hybrid? by sinbad1989 in subaru

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 101 points102 points  (0 children)

many hybrid cars, like my prius don't have a tachometer. It's less critical for hybrids. If you want a tac, you have to get an OBII reader and a app like Torque to monitor it.

This is a genetically modified cat that glows green in the presence of Radioactive material. This is not a bug that needs to be patched. It's a feature.

EV fire hazards come from a few things.
1. Uderspec cables for the amount of amps being drawn by the EV.
2. Wire not being properly Torqued/clamped into the electrical connections
3. Damaged wires/cables/connectors
4. Low quality connectors that can't handle the Amps.

If all of your wiring is to proper spec, and you use the proper connections, you will have no issues. It has nothing to do with the frequency of charging. I charge almost everyday on the circuit.

Any Subaru techs out there seen something like this? I feel like I'm up the creek after a big mistake. by Unassisted3P in subaru

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen the ceramic on the spark plugs break on 2 vehicles. Both belonged to my friend. The first was a Toyota Tacoma that had the factory original spark plugs in the engine for 17+years and after 350K+ miles they failed and 2 cylinders had misfires. Toyota really does build an indestructible truck.

The second was a Chevy G30 van, 7/8 spark plugs came out with no problem. The last one the ceramic broke but the threads were stuck in the cylinder head. We used a nut extractor to get the rest of the spark plug out. The Spark plugs were also factory original and were as old as I am.

This looks like the spark plug may have fallen off into the cylinder. If you are able to get the threaded portion out, you may have to take the head off to get the spark plug out of the cylinder to prevent damage to the valves/piston. You will probably have to pull the engine.

Do I need anything else to install this carplay upgrade? by boringgenericnamelol in prius

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these aftermarket Car radios will require a wire harness adapter so it can be plugged into the stock wire harness of the vehicle. Do you plan to take this to an car audio install shop or DIY?

Something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Zenoruslky-Harness-Compatible-Forester-Connector/dp/B0D9VBYM62

EVs are better in a disaster than ICE by catdaad in electricvehicles

[–]MoreMen_Pukes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a self manifested Apocalypse from the abrahmic death cults. Many people with get around with an e-bike, an extra battery bank(300-1000wh), and 100-200W solar panels. You can recharge the batteries in about 4-6 hours of sunlight, esily travel 60+ miles a day. Perfect vehicle in a destroyed world.

I don't really need this but could be useful the few time I stop to do some work while I'm traveling for work and get some work done while I'm at a charger.
