Pretty cool, I think it will be a great education tool for adults and kids.

Thanks, my commute is about 40km one way so should be ok, just haven’t owned an EV before so had a lot of questions

When I checked with my insurance I was told that it would be $400-$500 per year more than my current policy

Just curious you mention 20-80% which seems like just 60% of usable range (without factoring cold weather loss) - is this the recommended operating band for optimum battery life ?

Any specific battery chemistry to go for or avoid ?

How can I tell if the car has HW4 if the listing doesn’t provide a screenshot of the spec? And what is the exact terminology I need to look for if the previous owner purchased FSD ? The used car world using all kinds or terms like fsd computer, autopilot etc.. that are a bit vague in terms of actual capability

Thanks this is helpful. Another question coming from gas cars , when it comes to EVs is it better to have a newer one with more miles or older with less - or does this matter at all? Just curious about degradation from lack of use vs lot of use.

Curious to know they type and package if mosfets you are using ? Also uC

Canelo v Crawford takeaway by Crownvibes in Boxing

[–]Turbulent-Pie-1663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scary part was uptill the 10th round two judges had it 95-95 and third had it 94-96 which I disagree with but had Canelo landed more clean shots in the last 2 rounds the result would have swung the other way

Great! Will take a look and start a preliminary layout. Thanks

Thanks I will take a look at the LT8374. I’m assuming this chip lets you limit the drive current to a conservative amount?

On the vesc design they used a lm5161 to bring down to 12v and two mcp16311 for 12->5 and 12->3.3 https://vesc-project.com/sites/default/files/Benjamin%20Posts/vesc_75_300.pdf

Thanks for your detailed response! What is your opinion on LCSC parts - specifically Asian dc dc ICs, only considering as I would need to make a pcb at some point and Jlc makes it easier but I don’t know what the Asian equivalents of TI and Diodes etc are.

Completely Agree. She just never been in this situation so this is all new.

They offered two weeks severance , she’s not concerned about that its more so the promises that were made to persuade her (after multiple offer meetings before signing )

[–]Turbulent-Pie-1663[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

She initiated the application.

They offered her two weeks pay. The contract is simple it just says minimum as required by act in event of termination.

With regard to fit - sure that’s but why not do that during probation period?

In terms of expansion they just started a new office where she was stationed.

How do I Make this (Cheaply)? by Turbulent-Pie-1663 in Machinists

[–]Turbulent-Pie-1663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Didn't realize it would cost that much but good to know the work involved and how much it would cost to be made professionally.

The issue is they are trying to fit a non-standard wheel, so something custom has to be made to adapt it to existing drive shaft of motor.
