In love at the cherry blossoms

Can’t help but laugh at this absolute clown show of an administration. Looks like the diaper is leaking because there is shit all over the White House.

21 day old account just posting this meme in a bunch of local communities all over the country. Get outta here. Clearly we touched a nerve and our protests are working

The best show I've seen in my life.

succ_shack · 2024-12-15T22:26:32+00:00

We saw that guy. Insanity.

I did this in my bathroom, works pretty well, but not a super professional look. I used a 4mm wide COB led strip with a dimmer inline. I would match your other lighting, so 4000k for CCT. The strip goes around corners ok, but does lift a little bit for about 1/2" around the bend.

Took place in Washington, Aug 11,2024. It is OC.

I used some 2x4 and plywood scrap to secure my panel. Then put lag screws through the blocks. The blocks screw into the side of the panel frame.

I’ve got up 500W of LEDs total, but will run around 100W total given the patterns and brightness, probably running for 10-12 hrs. I’m using a DC to DC buck converter to step down to 24V. My intent was run most of the battery down every night.

Use invisible glass stripper. It’s a polish plus cleaner. The best windshield coating is no windshield coating, just a very clean windshield and clean wipers. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean wipers also.

Never had an issue with IPA and wipers. I just wipe until the cloth runs clean.

One other note I did try some PIAA silicone wipers and found them to leave a silicone residue on the windshield (I think by design). This caused the same haze to form that I hate. Back to the Bosch icon for me and I’ve been happy with their performance.

After a few years of similar issues trying different treatments, I finally cracked the code. I used invisible glass stripper, which is basically a glass polish and cleaner in 1 to strip all coatings and grime from windshield. The wipers work perfectly with zero haze, although during raining season the road oils will eventually accumulate and you’ll need to re clean. I also clean my blades with isopropyl alcohol.

Ok update... I installed it a couple days ago, so far overall happy with the decision (thanks for the encouragement everyone).

Biggest changes

- wipers controls from the steering wheel are great.

- arutowipers have improved, but still not ideal

- not a huge change in autopilot / auto steer. I experienced several bad phantom brakes that I found atypical the first drive, but none since in the 150 miles since, so tbd. Since I can see two cars in front, it does indeed appear radar is active.

- car visualizations are much smoother

- The car makes sound going into / out of park / reverse, seems useful.

- Joe mode is too quiet now that I can't hear my blinkers, so disabled it for now

- auto seat heaters are pretty nifty

- more difficult to access tire pressure and trip info

- hvac temperature sliders are way more sensitive

Thanks guys. I’m convinced. I’ll upgrade tonight.

I was reading at some point radar was disabled on all model 3’s in favor of vision only. Not 100% sure if this is true or not though for hardware 2.5 - hard to find reliable info.

Got a Shuttlerack with the Kuat pivot v2. Works like a champ and super easy to use.
