  • It’s the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.

    The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you’re in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you’re limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.






  • If you don’t like closed source printers, don’t look at anything from Anycubic. They all run proprietary FW that you cannot modify on proprietary controller boards, and their hot end also use a custom nozzle thats very close to a volcano but not enough to actually use standard volcano nozzles.

    FWIW I have the kobra 2 from them, but it was their last model where you could flash klipper on, and I switched out the hot end for a standard volcano ($35 mod). It’s a good printer considering I paid $250, putting out 200mm/s printing and 350mm/s travel with fairly good quality. I have put well over 1000h on mine and aside from bed levelling probe drifting a bit requiring occasional recalibration, it’s a solid performer.


  • Until Tesla allows other shops to do repairs, those swastikars will never be economical even if you ignore the Nazi part

    Everything on them can be fixed by a regular mechanic, and Tesla isn’t stopping it (at least not in Europe). People are getting 3rd party special shops to fix HV batteries and motors on old model S without any issues. Brakes, suspension, steering, LV electrical (windows, lights, handles etc.), AC can be fixed by anyone without issues. And aside from body parts and a few specialty components (their “octovalve” comes to mind), it’s mostly standard auto components that can be bought from 3rd party manufacturers without giving Tesla any money.

    Edit: a model 3/Y door handle is around $100, of course still expensive but also far below your $1000 example, and on par with an original handle for my old ass Peugeot 308.










  • That seems to be incorrect, I just tried and it forces the use of their titles and badges spanning entire width and only at the top with, sections forced into columns underneath. There is no way to make a card span e.g. 2/3 of the width with the last 1/3 used by another card. I also can’t make a full width section below other sections, it forces columns that fixes to screen centre if it doesn’t fill the whole screen, I can’t even make it stay to the left or right of the screen.

    Yeah I can drag cards between sections, but I cant control sizes or location of anything, its still locked in to their very limited idea of dash board layouts.
