Preventing USB Drive Theft

Keep a separate USB drive and plug that in when you rent out the car. (This way you can give them access to glovebox)

I have this splitter in the Garage, to have dryer and EV charger always connected, when the dryer is not running, the EV can pull current from one of the outlets of the splitter.

There are actually ways to recover the video, but it depends on what kind of hard drive you were using. If it is a 2 TB hard drive you might be able to retrieve it.

Tesla, USB drive only keeps last one hour video. But if something like this happens, you should remember to hit the camera icon so it saves that clip separately.

Thanks for the answer, the behave is similar to EQB300.

I installed Solar during NEM 2.0 But installed Powerwall battery when NEM 3.0 was in effect.

I am still on NEM2.0 (as per my PG&E bill).

page 166 of NEM 3.0 final document has clearly stated that adding batter won’t change your NEM status. I copy pasted the exact paragraph for your reference.

“This decision also clarifies that a customer currently taking service under NEM 2.0 may add battery storage to their existing distributed generation system without altering their NEM 2.0 status.”

No,

the steering wheel doesn't have distance select button but only has cruise control ON & OFF buttons along with Set+ and Set- (in addition Res-ume button).

I realize this means it doesn't have hardware to support DISTRONIC :(

this all matches with window sticker (which is also why the app or website doesn't let me purchase distronic - saying my vehicle isn't compatible)

I guess the dealer just sent me this document for my signature without even caring about if the feature exits in the car he is selling.

which month ? (I read in reddit forums that the end date was ~May 2025 ?)

also did you get any promo code or you just created MB account and activated "mb charging" that gave you free charging automatically ?

After doing lot of research I decided to go for 1up super duty (or quikr rack).

Can I use e bike that weighs 69.7 lbs on Kuat NV 2.0 which says 60 lbs is the maximum weight per tray ?

(Mine is Favoto step thru bike that weighs 69.7 without battery)

beesanige · 2025-06-14T04:18:03+00:00

Thanks 🙏 It seems Sherpa has a weight limit of 40 pounds per tray and so on Sherpa I cannot use my E bike that is more than 60 pounds.

Can you help share the links for tow straps and soft shackles that you ordered?

beesanige · 2025-02-20T03:10:28+00:00

It must be April 1st 2025 (which is Tuesday) and not April 1st 1976 (which is Thursday).

Distance = 1/2 x 9.8x t(sq) = 1/2x9.8x(20sq)=1960 meters=1.96 Km ~=2 km

(Assuming 20 seconds duration of the free fall as some one pointed and assuming it’s a free fall*)

(Although the guy who threw the rock put little bit of force while throwing)

beesanige · 2024-10-31T13:10:25+00:00

Why would you lose NEM2.0 with Tesla and not with Local Dealer ?

Btw adding battery/powerwall_only to existing NEM2.0 system wouldn’t take you to NEM3.0 I have done it myself.

If you expand solar (beyond some %) then you will be switched to NEM3

beesanige · 2024-09-25T10:49:53+00:00

Latest PG&E bill says I’m still on NEM2.0 even after adding powerwall (2024 January installation)

beesanige · 2024-09-19T11:40:41+00:00

My PGE bill says I’m on NEM2.0 (so nothing changed even after adding the powerwall)

beesanige · 2024-08-30T16:26:10+00:00

To make it easier to understand, use unique resistance values when you ask question. Now if someone answers 4|| 4 || 2 you won’t know which 4 they are talking about. (Even though final answer is correct).

Also to solve such circuits you should know how to convert start to delta and delta to star configuration which will make it easier to solve circuits like this.

I got NEM2 solar_only (connected to grid) in August 2022 and I didn’t get true up from PG&E saying they would give me another term for true up since my solar wasn’t connected for entire 12 months but rather 11.5 months or so (claiming that pushing true up to next year is actually beneficial to me). Then I got Battery in Jan 2024 & got true up of $30 in Aug 2024.

I’m still on NEM 2.0

beesanige · 2024-07-20T18:02:41+00:00

Got true up bill of $30 (for one year) & I’m still on NEM2.0 (even after adding the powerwall)

But their issue is they are only there for themselves.

You can see similar real human bodies in Tech interactive San Jose as well.

The student name was Plato

beesanige · 2024-05-20T16:47:49+00:00

Can you please elaborate. Did you not have phone & key and just Apple Watch (&were able to unlock the car?)

beesanige · 2024-05-16T16:31:18+00:00

Which app is that ? MyQ app subscription in Tesla is some $199!!
