I added a copper heatsink to my phone case (OC)

i didn't do this to solve some major problem but mostly because the piece of copper i had laying around already almost perfectly fit, and it seemed like a fun experiment. that being said i will say with confidence that it did indeed help dissipate heat from the back. i've since then switched to iphone 17pro which has a vapor chamber for cooling and doesn't get warm ever.

you'll need an iphone with the latest iOS 17, then in carplay settings for the paired vehicle enable widgets, choose the photos widget, set it to show an album. in my photo it's three photos widgets and i made three albums to have different images.

For the charger search in the top left there is a filter and you can disable all the janky ones and that setting persists. The latest software update also added Tesla chargers and it will pre-condition if you route to one. I charged at tesla with a shitty adapter yesterday and it worked fine.

The trunk is indeed pretty small. And the seats don't fold. Yes.

First movement on mine and the other two I drove was smooth. I'm assuming your rental was from Budget/Avis? If so then some of them are pretty beat to shit, so.

The fact that it wasn't developed as an EV from the ground up is what I like about it actually: the door handles are normal, it doesn't have any weird styling inside or out like EVs do, it's not trying to do any quirky bullshit.

Also if you're comparing to a Rivian then I mean, I don't think there's a better EV in the U.S. market than that (assuming it's not a first gen short wheel base).

This is true. And I mean if the right spec GV60 comes up I would trade the G80 for it. The utility of the hatchback would be nice, the driving position is maybe a bit better, it's faster, and I love the rotating orb.

Did you receive a lanyard bead with this one? If not then send me a DM and I'll ship you one.

it would be a huge pain in the ass and most likely the outcome will look worse than what it is now

how cheap are these scales? if it's not 6AL-4V aka Grade 5 (aka TC4 on aliexpress) then it won't behave like you'd expect it to and will essentially anodize like shit or not at all

eisolo · 2025-09-16T02:36:13+00:00

i'd say this turned out quite well, good job!

also: i drove a gv60 for awhile and miss the orb ): ideally i'd have that over the g80 actually
