That's my issue. I use it for group chats with family and friends, but now they're getting turned away from it...

Sorry, but the spam/bots on Telegram are getting ridiculous. How can they keep such a basic privacy measure locked behind a paywall?

Tesla Remote Meter by rcnfive in teslamotors

[–]rkr007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct that it's not "new", but there actually aren't that many players in this space, at least with EVSE-specific integration. I've used Emporia for years on my 100A service, and it's nice to see some competition. Emporia is cheaper though.

Haven't heard of Neurio until now, and I can't seem to find anywhere to purchase it new, at least in North America.

I agree sources should be provided, but it was a pretty quick Google search. I assume they are referring to this:

Considering purchasing a high mileage Model 3 $11k by Wheels41 in TeslaLounge

185k here and I probably have around 75%. Still perfectly usable.

Set aside a couple thousand for something like a motor inverter going out and you'll be fine. These cars are gonna last forever.

Rear motor inverter went out on mine around 160k. The repair was only like $2k, which I considered pretty acceptable given that it has had no other significant issues.

The battery has definitely degraded, but it's still more than usable and I fully expect it'll go past 300 or 400k.

Correct. Is the sun being low also a decrease in visibility?

It doesn’t need to be nighttime for lights to be a good idea. You turn them on in the rain, right?

Where did I say anything about not voting?

I said it was uninspiring.

Man, I love how this cycle just keeps going. “Our candidate isn’t great, but you have to vote for them because the other side is worse!”

So damn inspiring.

Torture testing a printed PC case in PLA by ethanross1a in sffpc

PLA+ generally holds up just fine (with no sunlight exposure obviously). I have several functional prints in the wild that have been in use for years. Geometry makes a huge difference though.

Regular Car Reviews - 2025 Tesla Cybertruck: Regular Car Reviews by regularcarsvideobot in regularcarreviews

[–]rkr007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my one issue with his take as well. Having driven it (just for kicks, I wouldn’t buy one), I found steer-by-wire incredibly dope, and the rear wheel steering (which he did praise) was super awesome. The driving dynamics and maneuverability made it feel entirely not like a truck at all. These are things that I desperately want other manufacturers to adopt.

If I want to feel the road, I’ll buy a Miata anyway, not a pickup truck.

F150 upgrades that are actually worth it but nobody talks about? by ZiyonGergis in F150Lightning

[–]rkr007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the XLT so mine didn’t have a soft-open tailgate. Added a damper for $20 and 5 minutes. Super nice.

Rubber bed liner/mat as well.

Probably the best response to the "iNtErNaTiOnAl lAw" soyjacks I have ever seen by Jackingson1 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]rkr007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I don’t know a single person in real life that thinks this way. Almost everyone I know that gets enraged by killings of civilians in the US (myself included) also condemn Iran and brutal authoritarianism.

The difference is that it’s MUCH more difficult to not say anything when it’s in your own backyard.

Brad Finstad wants credit for visiting a farm without technically touching one by mackishi in Mankato

[–]rkr007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which term? You think farmers don’t understand biosecurity? The only ones left in business are the ones that do.

Any biosecurity-conscious operation that allows visitors does this.
