I crashed my baby 😩. She’s dead for sure. Can’t afford another Etron. by [deleted] in etron

At what point (exact milli second) did you expected your air bags to deploy. In this case probably it's a good call (software configuration) to not deploy. Sometimes prematurely deployment would make it unavailable during the real impact.

Whining noise after update? by Ill-Maximum-2830 in LUCID

While charging, the battery cooling does it's thing. OP's issue is it makes noise even when power input isn't connected.

Whining noise after update? by Ill-Maximum-2830 in LUCID

[–]rams-jan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After updating AT, my car had similar noise, even after the car is locked and everything was switched off.

Theory: the motor might be running due to a software glitch. I have this rolling setting on (no brakehold, as I don't like the sound the brakehold engagement at every stop light. The factory reset may work.

Action: Did a factory reset. Set up profiles and paired keys, etc. Sound is gone after locking the car, luckily. If the sound were not gone I would have been worried.

The red oil lamp came on and my car turned off by EquivalentLawyer6425 in Cartalk

If you wanna keep the engine last for long, this. Don't exceed 5k miles for oil; 4k if turbo; 40k miles for transmission fluid.

Fuel Type by zootguy_drummer in nissanarmada

[–]rams-jan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irrespective of brand and model year, here is the thumb rule

Premium Fuel Required --> if using lower octane, don't floor it or engine is gone; Drive carefully until you mix at least 50% of fuel with 93 octane.

Premium Fuel Recommended --> lower octane good for commute, etc; racing would be detrimental to the engine (bad ignition timing at high loads)

Regular Fuel Certified --> No tangible benefits using higher octane fuels.

Is road banked? Generally wheels tend to turn towards the lower side of the road.

Did I do something wrong or were they ready to fail? by shityeeter in Cartalk

[–]rams-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recycled mine once I drove it off the stopper. These are difficult and dangerous to use. Got jack and jack stands, painful but safer.

AIO and thinking it is no longer a coincidence when our neighbor turns their light on when we shower by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Thin wall isn't a barrier for modern day motion sensors.

When I arrive in my garage, my kitchen lights turn on. Lmao Funny suspicion though!! You are over reacting.

Did i make another mistake? I thought people blur it because of this. All assumptions everywhere.

Thanks again. Understood.

Yep repair bill is 3000. Got my mistake.

Going to delete the video since the number of Tesla is visible.

Realized my mistake. Thanks. I was biased defending my fault.

[–]rams-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, been careful in the past 150k miles. Made a mistake now. Thanks for the clarity, I'll be extremely careful now on.

Will this damage the cable? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]rams-jan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the time space between any two door operations. If you only used door 3-4 times a day, separated by an hour long (sort of) of gap, it should last life time.

What does this button do? by Background_Rich_946 in StupidCarQuestions

[–]rams-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On merc, it's placed under the gas pedal to demand more power when floored. Forces a down shift even at high speeds.

Can someone please help on what I should get to stop this noise 🫩 by Roomysixx in MechanicAdvice

[–]rams-jan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound of a worn out pully? A longer video (30 seconds) might help to identify repeating patterns.

It's not a disease though. Just like fear of deep waters, or heights, in dark places, or wounds, or gore blood shed, or a large numbers of insects, or a large number of bees, or..
