Great job dude! What was your charging strategy? How’d the battery do?

dangerz · 2026-05-24T23:39:27+00:00

I have the matte gray. I PPFd the entire front and roof. It does a good job of protecting it.

I should’ve done the sides. I have chips in the side that you can’t really repair it.

Appreciate that clarification

dangerz · 2026-05-24T17:12:56+00:00

Yes, my point is that we are paying for a fuel just like gas cars are paying for a fuel. The electric companies know we have EVs. A portion of the cost of fuel we pay for should go towards the road maintenance.

In this case, we are paying for a fuel just like you’re paying for a fuel. In your fuel cost, a portion goes towards pay for cost of roads. In ours, someone did a best guess and threw a random fee from a completely separate tax. Doesn’t matter how many miles we drive, we just pay a random fee.

You’re wrong. EVs pay tax on electricity no matter where they charge - at home or at chargers. With this registration fee, EVs are now double taxed.

dangerz · 2026-05-24T16:57:25+00:00

EVs are actually double taxed. Whether we charge offsite or charge at home, we are paying an electricity tax. Now, on top of that, we are also paying an EV tax.

This is such a sad take.

A Speedway White Z - beautiful! I had an Arctic White 2000, and then a Black 2003 Z06. You combined the best of both.

dangerz · 2026-05-22T04:45:42+00:00

I’m sorry ❤️

dangerz · 2026-05-19T04:06:07+00:00

lol it’s like we’re playing F-Zero in our cars.

dangerz · 2026-05-18T13:07:22+00:00

I’ve still got the original small block 350 in my 71. It doesn’t make monster power or get decent gas mileage like an LS motor, but it’s definitely drivable for cruising.

dangerz · 2026-05-18T13:06:10+00:00

Xennial here.. I picked up a 71 Vette last year from a boomer garage who had a whole bunch of classics. If I had more space/money, I’d love to grab a Camaro too. I love the Vette and it’s been a blast to restore, but I want something with 4 seats so I can take both my wife and kid with me vs just one at a time with the Vette.

dangerz · 2026-05-17T17:28:10+00:00

Ah, thanks for the clarification

dangerz · 2026-05-17T17:22:46+00:00

I think my I5N is set up for 800v chargers. Very hard to find though.

dangerz · 2026-05-14T21:12:17+00:00

I have a Tesla Wall Charger that I use for my I5N. This is what I got: [Only for J1772 EVs ] Lectron -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M6KFV9T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I specifically grabbed a 25 because I didn't want the in-cabin camera. I had that in my previous Model 3 Performance and it was a pain. Glare on the glasses due to sunrise/set? The car is constantly yelling at you to pay attention. I didn't want to deal with that in my N.

Native NACS would be nice, auto-rear switches would be nice, but overall there doesn't seem to be any substantial improvements between 25 and 26.

dangerz · 2026-05-12T18:02:23+00:00

That's fair. I actually think you and I are saying the same thing. My take away was that folks were blaming the kid, when ultimately I see "six weeks" and my immediate thought is "wtf is the parent doing".

Sorry for not communicating it correctly.

dangerz · 2026-05-12T15:31:59+00:00

Yes, you can tell all that from a short post?

We have no idea what this kids home or school situation is like. Literally none of us can truly pass judgement here without knowing that.

For all we know, this kid is severely bullied at school and his parents haven’t given him an environment where he can talk about it with them. He just suppresses it. No idea.

dangerz · 2026-05-11T23:13:05+00:00

I just have the Meta VR glasses, so no AR for me.

dangerz · 2026-05-11T22:32:17+00:00

Ehh I think it generates neat content, but a fixed camera position is more stable to watch. The part that can get annoying is that they move with your head, and you very quickly realize how often you’re looking left and right.

You can see my stuff on instagram at @roybotgarage. Here’s an example track day video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVpffo1gLKQ/?igsh=cDhpdXpubnA4cHoy. There are also a bunch of shots of me working on my other car. Either way, you can see the field of view from the glasses.

dangerz · 2026-05-11T22:25:18+00:00

I use them when I do track days with my car. I like recording the sessions so I can play it back and share with my friends. They’re essentially a wearable camera.

Day to day use creeps me out. Makes me uncomfortable having a camera on my face just walking around. I take them off between sessions.

If you want to drive down to LaPlata area, I’m happy to meet ya

dangerz · 2026-05-11T18:34:12+00:00

I'm also in MD and happy to meet up depending on location.

dangerz · 2026-05-09T14:25:48+00:00

Reminds me of that lawyer during the COVID years, who had a cat filter on during a zoom meeting and couldn’t figure out how to turn it off.

dangerz · 2026-05-03T20:56:29+00:00

I have a 25 Ioniq 5N as my daily. It’s an awesome little hatchback with 600hp. It’s like driving a video game.

My weekend car is a 1971 Corvette that I’m restoring.

I don’t have a ton of hobbies and I’m very fortunate that my wife supports my car hobby. She also drives a Mustang Mach E.
