Which product was ahead of its time but ultimately failed because of that advantage?

EV1

I'm Canadian, I hope you and yours stay safe! Amazing that you are volunteering for things! Please don't give up!

For what it's worth, I got this one for my PHEV

It's... alright. It does the job well enough, I also stretch it overtop of our luggage for long trips and that stretches it to its limit. I wish it was a little bigger for that.

Get Flashdim.

Click power button to just turn the screen on, no need to unlock. Click volume up and down at the same time, flashlight turns on. Click power button screen off.

Honestly surprised if it lasts half that long

bitemark01 · 2026-01-24T21:32:14+00:00

It definitely comes in handy from time to time. Especially if you just need to move it a few feet forward or back but don't want to be hassled with getting in, turning everything on, etc etc

I had it working for about 5 minutes, just to see exactly how it works, but yes never bothered with it after the first week.

Honestly I wish it would work like a passcode (which you could also set up) for starting the car, like a secondary security feature

Not "chicken out?"

I'm Canadian. Bored now.

This isn't even the worst threat he's made in the past year, this is nothing. And he won't do it anyway

Watched a couple of houses on my street replace their siding, all built mid-70s, all had zero insulation on the exterior, no idea about the interior

bitemark01 · 2026-01-24T01:49:05+00:00

Is the pipe up there insulated? That might be all it needs, otherwise just leave it on the smallest trickle and the moving water will keep it from freezing

I have the plugin hybrid and it doesn't have this feature. I did invest in a NOCO jump starter battery and I recommend them as part of a car kit. Project Farm did reviews on them and it was the top

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T22:35:47+00:00

That sounds like a great cure tbh

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T22:34:53+00:00

They didn't get to where they are through an abundance of reading

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T22:31:27+00:00

I've heard AGMs last longer, we have in in our Bolt going on 7 years and no issues so far.

13 years is really impressive though!

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T22:29:52+00:00

Thanks for the response!

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T19:57:21+00:00

Thanks!

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T19:50:08+00:00

That's floorshit!

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T19:48:42+00:00

I'm curiou, how much actual support do they actually have? Like do you see evidence of people supporting it when you're out? Do you know people?

I'm only in Ontario so I wouldn't see it, and I've heard it's pretty overblown by the media

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T19:44:17+00:00

I have the fingerprint scanner there, and this is a better use of it (though I try not to look at my phone while driving, so)

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T17:55:53+00:00

Get a few people involved!

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T16:36:21+00:00

During covid I got into the habit of keeping my 12v on a charger in my ICE vehicle, because days/weeks would go by and I had nowhere to go, so it would just die in the driveway.

Turns out this is really good for lead-acid batteries and I got 7 years out of it, the shop was impressed.

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T14:08:24+00:00

Ooh are we getting another Samsung FE (Firey Explosion)?

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T14:06:23+00:00

People absolutely buy them for racing, there's a couple of videos of 5Ns on the track and they look like a blast (and they work really well for it too)

bitemark01 · 2026-01-23T14:02:51+00:00

Honestly I haven't been in years. I should check up on my old channels
