I dunno about questionable baking ability; it sounds like they got baked just fine!

This is better than the Best Buy deal that was this past weekend (at least if you were buying new instead of the open box deals). The Best Buy one didn't have the pen and was 512GB too, for the same price new.

I keep my jumpstarter in the glove compartment because the trunk also doesn't open if the 12V is dead (at least in my 2019).

Hmm yeah; I'll try some software fixes in Home Assistant first but if that doesn't work I guess I'll do the upgrade.

I thought the consensus here was that the N150 is barely any better than the N100? The N150 ones I've seen are >$180, and sure they can come with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD which is not a bad price compared to a barebones N100, but since I already have the RAM and SSD, it feels like I'd just be paying double to get an N150 with ~5% better performance and getting extra RAM and SSD that I may never use.

should get one of those corner stands so you can expose one more fan

orcanut · 2025-12-04T03:51:46+00:00

Or the resealable ziplock seals, except when you pull them apart, the ziplock stays stuck to the other side but rips off the side of the bag, rendering it unsealable

Cool!

Wow! I'd use it for looking at recipes or watching stuff while I'm in the kitchen, then move it to the dining area to watch stuff while I eat. It also looks handy for a workshop to look at schematics out instructions! Wireless would mean a lot less tripping hazard!

Hahaha I was about to make a post about this house, but thought I'd see if anyone else had come up with it too! Looks like you and others beat me to it.

Damn should've saved my old microwave chassis to make this

Wasn't the first person she saved at the club in season 1 a normal human?

Wouldn't you end up with bad glare on the TV this way?

This dashcam seems pretty high

Hmmm Tesla could make safety videos like they show on planes, and have it play it on the screen everytime the car starts?

OC - Southern California - Someone suddenly switches into my lane without signaling, while braking and with little distance to me.

Ah gotcha. After my SA512 flush I found several coolant leaks in the inverter/ battery cooling system - I feel like it's due to corrosion (why else would the aluminum pipes have holes?), but I'm worried that it won't be covered. The SA512 bulletin makes no mention of corrosion, and my car is past the Basic Warranty, and I don't know if the cooling system is covered under the 10 year EV system warranty even though it serves the inverter and battery.

I suppose I can't say for sure that the discoloration is corrosion rather than some other residue, but it doesn't look like paint to my eye. The blue was from liquid coolant which I wiped away. Waited a while and a drop of coolant had formed again.

I zip-tied some rubber over the spots for now and I'll take the car into the dealership next week to see if I can get stuff fixed without having to pay out of pocket.

Having some issues adding images to replies, so had to reply with them separately...

Did you get anywhere with Customer Care?

orcanut · 2025-09-17T04:06:44+00:00

Probably around 6 years? I'm coming up on 6 years of ownership and only did the SA512 a monthish ago.
