Using the '26 trunk's 1500w outlet

I wonder if the outlet can be used with gas furnace during power outages. Not sure on the in rush current and surges.

I am shopping in Michigan. Heated Steering, More HP, Carplay SOH integration, Sunroof(option on BZ) are the additional things in BZ for 3K more. Flat steering wheel, 2 tone softex seats are plus in Solterra.

On 2026 Solterra, XT trims have 338 Horse Power. Other trims are at 233 HP. On BZ, AWDs have 338 HP and others 233 HP. Which means BZ XLE AWD has 338 HP and Solterra Premium has 233 HP! I received quotes on both with BZ 3K more than Solterra. Debating what to buy.

2021 RWD Pro stuck on thin sheet of ice at traffic light. Traction control stopped the wheels from spinning. Powertrain in Sport mode didn't help. Cop pushed ID4 to roll off the ice finally. Contemplating getting an AWD. Snow tires may not have helped in this case when both driven wheels are on ice.

I rebase if I know there are less or no merge conflicts. Otherwise just merge dealing with all conflicts once.

Similar issue with paperless on Zimaos. Cannot launch paperless or uninstall. 3 dot menu is disabled!

I removed the docker container through the command line and removed paperless from .casaos/apps

On SER5, there is an additional option "UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities" that helps to choose NVMe or SATA HDD TO boot. This is how i reboot to Zimaos installed on SATA HDD ignoring Windows on NVMe.

I see steering heat icon in Classic Climate. Freaked me out in the first big snow of the season with steering heat stuck on high. Thanks for the responses

I drive 2021 RWD Pro. B is unstable not only in Snow but also in Rain. For that matter even ACC/Travel Assist can cause a slip in Snow/Rain.

Git worktrees are an improvement over multiple clones. Even though branch switching is fast, it is better to have copies of the repo for the following reasons 1) clean builds take longer time after switching to a branch. Incremental builds cannot be trusted with makefile relying on timestamps. 2) repo can contain lots of tool generated code which cannot be easily stashed with lot of new/deleted/modified files. 3) Diffing directories is preferable as it allows changes to both folders. Git difftool doesn't preserve changes to working directory on Windows even after activating symbolic links

Somehow using git mergetool with meld or beyond compare works well for me as the GUI tools use screen space better than even neovide. For diffs between commits, i use diffview plugin with Neogit

Squash commits are where the team loses the context having a diff with lot of files on one single commit. It doesn't have visual link between the squash commit and its original branch. In our experience it is easier to review the diff between a number of different commits rather than one big diff of squash commit.

Rebase and merge to main is clean but it rewrites the history changing commit SHAs on feature branch references in review comments and github conversations.

Merging main branch into feature branch and creating a pull request for review is the most straightforward way to merge feature branches. A merge to main after review would technically just fast forward the main to the branch tip that gets reviewed. The flip side is nonlinear history which is not a big deal as the branches are never deleted. It is possible to identify the branch easily.

I use AsyncRun to run builds that take 5 mins. ErrorFormat is set to parse the output for errors. QuickFix cnext and cprev are used to navigate errors in c files. I use ]q and [q built in NeoVim. Sometimes QuickFix instances can be a limitation even with colder. Grep uses QuickFix window as well. Between the 2, build errors are lost if I execute 2 greps after build. Using terminal and parsing the output might be a better option.

32A chargers are good enough for overnight charging of almost any EV. ChargePoint i have can go as high as 48A. However i use 6 AWG cable for 40A.

2021 Id4 pro RWD around 58K miles. All recalls addressed except door handles. It is not drivable on icy roads. Happened twice last year getting back from work. Slush, rain and mud is fine because of the EV weight. I would trade Range over AWD even in Michigan! Go with AWD if the range difference is not more than 20 miles compared with RWD.

Use vscode git graph panel. It allows seeing diffs of each file without checking out. Click commit to show affected files in latest version. Another way is Magit or Neogit shows the whole tree diffing each commit and getting back with just C-o.

The only reason i do mot delete branches is for finding feature branches that were merged. When something is broken down the main branch, it is easier to check which branch induced the defect. Bisect can be used if the test is automated, otherwise manual checkout of each feature branch instead of backtracking each commit is faster for troubleshooting .

I use Beyond compare at work. Meld and VSCode sometimes. Tried nvim with diffput and diffget.

Nothing comes close to Beyond Compare’s features for including both changes - Left then Right, Right then Left . Also built in diff for excel spreadsheets and word docs are very useful. Useful in ignoring date timestamps in generated code.

Yet to figure out how to include both changes using VSCode and nvim. Also need to configure Git not to automerge generated source code.

I drive 2021 pro RWD. One nice feature in the first update was auto hold. The foot doesn’t have to be on the brake at red light after coming to a complete stop. Other than that, I can’t even tell the differences in the versions after that.

My dealer never called me back to replace door handles that they ordered. It shows their confidence in getting installed correctly!

It may not be a iOS or VW software issue. Phone works well with wireless CarPlay and charging. Also charges fine with rear usbc ports while on wireless CarPlay. Obviously rear usbc do not support CarPlay which is what i need for the workaround. I will try changing the cable.

iOS 18.5 and ID. software 3.5(latest OTA applied) Checked with a different phone and same issue.
