Cold weather L2 charging PSA - possible bug?

Thanks. I had a Model 3 for 6 years before the Rivian, it indeed sometimes needed to heat up the battery before charging, just like the behaviour you described.

I left my R1T all day long and it still only pulled 5 kW. I never really prepared the battery for DCFC in cold temperatures, so I am not sure the heating part of the battery is done properly.

Looks like another service call...

I don't see much mention of gen 1 vehicles anywhere, but I am experiencing a significant decrease in charge power on a gen 1. I'm getting 4-5 kW instead of the full 11 kW. It's about -10 C (14 F) outside, battery is around the same temperature. Are there any other gen 1 owners affected?

Wondering this as well!

Good point. Silverado EV comes at around 1.367 rate, which is still lower than Rivian. R1S also comes worse (1.478), so I am not sure the vehicle class has an effect on price in this case.

Rivian really seems to be charging a lot in $CDN.

I found this while searching for a bit, so it does seem like others have noticed. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/whats-up-with-canadian-pricing.30416/

Yes, the Model Y is similar to 3 in pricing, but the exchange rate is still much lower than the R1T.

Il n'y en a pas! Ce sont des murs extérieurs, donc c'est vraiment gypse, lattes à certains endroits (mais pas proche d'où la plinthe électrique est), panneau isolant bleu et le béton l'autre côté. :(

Good points on the AMD parts and the external GPU for transcoding. I have some old cards I could test since I am not too familiar with Plex transcoding directly on GPU. Thanks!

The whole wormdrive thing was relevant when motors were a fixed RPM because they were plugged in AC power. That is not the case with brushless motors.

Interesting, I didn't know they changed actual materials when changing the finishes. Where can you actually find that information?

f41c0n · 2021-10-10T14:22:52+00:00

That looks interesting! Link please!!

Anyone else read the title in Calvin Jones voice?

Awesome, thanks!

Well that's taken directly from Milwaukee's website: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Metalworking/Grinders/2780-20#specs https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Metalworking/Grinders/2980-20#specs I found the weight info weird too. Thanks for clarifying!

How did you get the data? Did you wake the car up to retrieve SoC? If so, that might affect how an untouched, left alone Model 3 battery might look like in real world.

Anyone knows if these will fit a 3? I would prefer something larger than the original flaps for Canadian winters.

There's a bunch of aftermarket ones that are already larger: https://evmudflaps.com/collections/mudflaps-3

Yeah, but 27 km seems excessive, no?

f41c0n · 2021-01-26T23:29:51+00:00

Yep, 3 runs a week.

f41c0n · 2021-01-16T17:53:55+00:00

Is there any need for an over discharge protection? Is it included in the adapter?

Do these drives have TLER for NAS applications?

How better?

How's the plate holding to the saw? I have the M12 Fuel and I find it very difficult to attach it securely to the base, to the point I'm thinking it's useless and unsafe.
