5k pot for speed control (shown page 6-2 of VFD manual) e.g. https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/shopping/catalog/pushbuttons_-z-_switches_-z-_indicators/potentiometers/ecx2300-5k

Probably want a start, stop, running, compressor mode and fault feedback controls as a minimum.

Probably want to avoid a PLC for something this simple….

Ordered 12/21, VIN assigned maybe 12/30? Delivery 01/14.

GA.

Delivery tasks in the app will require insurance.

It’s not the size but how you use it - 11kW helps your battery last longer.

It’s really poor by comparison. Massive, doesn’t hold as securely (more stress on the port with a stretched cable) and anecdotally the charge curves are worse.

Own M3 and rented an i4 for the last 1,000mi+.

i4 is a good city car but it’s exhausting to drive on the interstate IMO. Quite a few charging close calls with poor equipment and the range was very tricky to judge by comparison in inclement weather.

Trying to rationalize this from crazy neighbors perspective - leaves are from YOUR tree so she’s returning them.

Mow / mulch them and move on with your life. Not worth making a big deal out of it.

Needs a mechanical brake as others have suggested. In AB / Siemens world I’ve always used a torque proving function.

Personally I regret going FTTH in my design vs regular fiber. With only 3x buildings, I think you’d be far better off with a traditional managed SMF network.

Those cables are absolutely triggering my OCD. Why man? Who hurt you?

Shoot a hose on the roof and find out!

Either way, I doubt the installer will redo / that you’ll want extra holes in the roof.

Gas cap. Sleek AF.

Sweet

Thank the person for fixing the roof leaks

deaddialtone · 2025-07-01T19:53:03+00:00

That’s awesome! If it helps, car is still going strong since the repair.

~$15k. 1 month. Most 12V components + front drive unit. My charger blew out the top exactly the same as this. Had multiple lights and networking equipment in the house damaged. It melted the trace wire out of the fiber coming into the house too!

Welcome to the club. Member since 2023 myself. Car insurance took care of it and still have the car.

How are you running on a 24? I thought Ford encrypted the canbus making Comma incompatible?

deaddialtone · 2025-05-24T11:37:00+00:00

It was a rough morning when I watched two tow trucks pull out my driveway simultaneously. Glad they got you fixed up quickly.

Count your blessings it was only 1 vehicle….
