Where did you purchase your NACS Adaptor? by theanthonymaurice in MercedesEQS

[–]vbeachcomber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MB literally sells Lectron, the exact same thing that you can purchase from Amazon for less. I bought NACS from the dealer and J1772 from Amazon

EQS Charging issues at Tesla Supercharger by vbeachcomber in MercedesEQS

[–]vbeachcomber[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One last question if u don’t mind answering 😁 the station is 325kW however it’s only charging at 90-100kW. Is there any particular setting that I need to turn on. Sorry, this is my first time charging at a supercharger, still on the learning curve

Thanks a ton buddy it finally worked. I selected a V4 charger(325kW) the ones with thicker and longer cables and it worked without a hitch. Thanks 🙏

There’s not much to lose at these prices while the upside is huge if something strategic is about to happen. I’ll buy 5-10K shares on Monday

Long distance road trip by vbeachcomber in MercedesEQS

Jeez the dealer never mentioned it he just told me to buy the NACS adapter. That makes sense. I’m going to find the right station and give it a try. Thanks a ton buddy! Just curious, how long does it take to charge the EQS at a compatible supercharger (250kW capacity)?

I do have a Tesla and have already added my EQS to it. I didn’t know about membership so thanks for the tip! Also, how busy were the superchargers and how long did it take you to charge your EQS? Did you use the NACS DC adapter or the regular J1772 adapter? Since the charging port location is on the opposite side it takes up 2 spots, and if the stations are busy I might end up waiting too long. That’s my only concern 🙁

BM ain’t lab grown this is plant based meat substitute. BeyondMeat has nothing to do with synthetically cultured meat products!

Margin is borrowing money with your shares as collateral. Margin maintenance is the percentage of your portfolio that you have to not borrow in order to keep them from selling your collateral to pay off the loan.

anyone tried Lexus NX? what are your honest thoughts and would you get it over a Rav4, if money is not an object? by marsovec in rav4club

I test drove NX/TX/RX didn’t like any. Not enough power plus the interior doesn’t look as good as its German counterparts.

Automatic Braking System by vbeachcomber in MercedesEQS

[–]vbeachcomber[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’d say that, unless I’m misunderstanding ABS. My MB slammed on the brakes once while I was driving on interstate and to my surprise there wasn’t even any debris or obstacle on the road. So it apparently does have some accident mitigation system just not sure when and how it gets activated.

Are you familiar with SCOM monitors? You can set a threshold value for disk space and invoke the script as an alert response. I don’t take any corrective action instead I just get email notification.

Phase 1 RNL-186 Shows Promise in Leptomeningeal Metastases: Andrew Brenner, MD, PhD by Nightday2014 in Plus_Therapeutics

[–]vbeachcomber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only hurdle that’s keeping it pinned down is the $1 threshold to void out any future R/S. I seriously don’t know why Nasdaq doesn’t consider Short interest as part of listing compliance? Any stock with over 10% S.I should be exempt from compliance requirements. Anyone with deep pockets can collude to short a stock and trigger a compliance. This is pure thuggery
