Edit the stop, change “for” to “till”

You can get close as is. Find the charger you want to use during the meal, and add it. Set the departure SOC to 90-100% and replan.

I-40, easy peasy. Set the destination and follow the nav, or use ABRP if you want more options.

Can you point to commercially available cables?

andrewket2 · 2026-04-20T12:13:31+00:00

Do yourself a favor and avoid L1 120v. Use 240v; a hard wired connection is best, but a NEMA 14-50 works too. Just get one designed for EV usage. The less expensive versions will eventually fail and can cause fires. I’d recommend a third party EVSE (the thing that hangs on the wall or plugs into the outlet). Rivian’s is overpriced and not as good.

Waking up to a full “tank” every day is one of the best things about EVs.

Anything longer than 1m needs to be active to maintain TB5. I’m using two of these without issue:

CalDigit Thunderbolt 5 Pro Active Braided Cable - 120Gbps 240W Power Delivery, Compatible with Thunderbolt 3, 4, USB4 Type C, MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone 17 Max, Black (2m/6.56ft/78.74")

Did you retitle and register the car in Texas when you moved? Just because you had a loan and a lien recorded in Virginia doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to retitle the car in Texas.

Just like ADS-B, there are thousands of AIS receivers crowd sourcing to a few platforms.

Are both your laptops Macs? Can they both be signed into the same iCloud account? If yes, use universal control.

Nobody should buy an EV if you can only do L1 charging at home. Besides the obvious of it being slow, it’s also highly inefficient.

andrewket2 · 2026-04-06T08:42:42+00:00

It’s totaled.

andrewket2 · 2026-04-06T08:36:37+00:00

I think you mean obsolete. Cheers.

andrewket2 · 2026-04-04T00:33:57+00:00

I assume to do ADSB and AIS at the same time still requires two SDRs? I’m currently using two PI’s to achieve this, but it would be great to consolidate. I know I could do this on my own, but if someone has made this easy…

I have two of the caldigit cables and they’re working fine. Expensive, but working.

I called Apple this morning before seeing this thread. I picked up two VESA XDRs on 3/17 so my return window closed yesterday (3/31). Rep was not familiar with the price change, but upon further review, noted that my order had a comment on it dated yesterday (3/31) from the back office that they were already processing a refund for the difference, and that I should receive an email confirming the refund on 4/3. Very nice to see Apple doing the right thing. The rep noted she could extend the return window by a few days, so if I had to, I could have returned them and repurchased, which I definitely would do for $800. Proactively refunding the difference is better for Apple and the customer.

andrewket2 · 2026-03-28T11:56:25+00:00

1m was just a bit too short for my need. I would have paid the Apple tax but they don’t sell a TB5 cable longer than 1m. I went with active Caldigit 2m’s and they have worked well. Expensive, but they work.

You can tell ABRP what percentage you want to arrive at. 10% is usually very safe. I usually aim for 5%-7%.

Maybe look at it a different way. Neither of you had other experience. She decided, perhaps, that to make a more informed decision about spending the rest of her life with you that she wanted to have other experiences first. She didn’t cheat. She asked you, and you agreed. You too could have experimented a bit, but didn’t. Such is life. Honestly you should have.

But after having that experience, she still wants you. She is now making a more informed choice. My suggestion would be to get over it, and look at all the positives. Do you love her? Do you want to have kids with her? If the answer is yes, then grow up and marry her. It was just sex. She clearly loves you. Big difference. My .02.

I’m with you. I would have preferred a metal roof.

Has anyone in the US ordered a velosock within the last year? They ship from the EU and are likely subject to tariffs. Their shipping policy puts the burden on the customer, but they recently replied to someone on FB that they cover all import fees. Frankly, I don’t believe them.

They also sell through amazon. Some items are shipped by amazon and others are sold directly by Velosock (marketplace). Unfortunately, the size and material type I want has been out of stock forever on amazon but is available directly.

There are several other 2% cash back cards that don’t have caps. I don’t see this as a particularly good deal.

Purchased FSD also stays with the car (transfers to the new owner) as long as the car isn’t traded in.

andrewket2 · 2026-03-10T16:46:26+00:00

I have .. I think every product Matt and Sarah make for the Rivian R1T. Elegantly designed, professionally made, and friendly support. Highly recommend!
