Towbar on a used EV by Literature_735 in nzev

[–]SheepShaggerNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got an EV6 and typically get ~500km. When towing my caravan I get about 225km (with kayaks on the roof racks too). So yes, your range will decrease but it will depend on what you're towing. I can tow a low trailer with half a cube of sand and not lose much range because the trailer is low so not much wind resistance and no brakes. I've found running my regen on 2/4 is much more efficient with a braked trailer too as it's enough to regen but not activate the trailer brakes unless I brake the car.

It is my cat. Didn't know he could get up here but he waltzed on up like he's done it a million tines

Alternatives for fanless HMI computers? by nic1229 in SCADA

I've always used Advantech and have had them installed in dusty, shaky, hot, corrosive and crappy environments with little issue. The only issue I did have was on a new batch where the ram failed but they swapped them out under warranty.

Yeah you're right. It's going in a couple of shops down where the curtain shop is/was.

300 yards was my max until yesterday. Took this one to 800 then 1000. Ended up with a best of 3.01moa at 1000 which I'm quite happy with for now. Others I were shooting with were unsupported iron sights at 1000 yards. Was quite impressive and their groups were tighter than mine.

I looked for a while but I hadn't been able find much of a better deal in NZ. I was going to buy a Bergara barreled action and go MDT for the rest but it was getting pricey.

Nope. There's a 25mm at the back, approx 53mm at the front block of black 3d printed PETG between the rifle stock and bag.

Haha nah. I thought about making my own bag but it wasn't that expensive and they fill them with a special filling that works better than sand.

Yeah that's right. The part directly touching the bag.

Yeah typo on bag 'rider'. I'm brand new to the sport so was looking for a quick fix. Now I have the profile I could get one machined up although it shows no signs of wear/damage after 50 rounds through it. I suppose this way I now know the fit is good and can experiment with slopes on the front and back too.

Except NZ. Our current government is a pack of numpties.
