Tom Guycot posted:The amount of solar on that is probably a couple hundred watts at most, at its peak, so its not helping your range, and even if you're just parked, at say 200w for a generous 10 hours every day, you'd get back like %10 battery after 4-5 days. This is my chair. I only just learned of it back in 2019, but man do I love it. The battery is only 8lbs too, and just about the size of a laptop battery. You can charge your phone too, even drive it through the app. https://whill.inc/us/model-ci/ I rewatched one of the videos on the Korean Car News YT channel, and it said the solar roof of the Genesis G80 adds about 60 miles monthly. While that’s not a ton, that’s not not nothing either… I’m torn whether to get the Ioniq or wait as a whole bunch of new EVs are coming out soon. I want to be able to trade in my Mazda3 while it’s getting a crazy high trade-in price due to the chip shortage though.

Started seeing some yellow borders around the screen on my 2018 Model 3 earlier this year and then a week or so ago it looked like the screen was separating internally at one of the corners. I'm a worst case owner with regard to heat since I don't have covered parking, I do have overheat protection on. Tech replaced it and mentioned he'd never seen that particular failure before which is always exciting. My full-vehicle limited warranty expires in 6 days, so this was a well-timed failure.

Is a solar roof coming on the 2023 ioniq5? My order of an ioniq is slated for 2H of 2023 so I imagine it would be a 2023 model then.. I haven't decided if I would want to get that or not yet but probably when I get closer. If I had my druthers I'd probably get the Ford Lightning Lariat trim right now.

So far it’s been working since I haven’t been driving much but it adds around 1% of charge every hour. And there is a supercharger about 20 miles away if I get desperate.

It probably won't shock anyone here to learn that folks have quickly found a way to turn off the sound. Also "the Lightning doesn't seem any different than a regular F-150" is pretty much the entire point of it.

This is how I charge my EV6 and it suits my needs since my overnight charging gives me just enough to cover my daily commute. Even if I drive more I make up for it on the weekend. And I have free L2 chargers at work if I actually ever come close to low charge.

The failure of the S/X screens started after about 4 years, so either mine is an abberation, or there's about to be a new wave of screen failures. At least on the 3 it's a simple swap unlike on the S/X where they have to put in a whole new MCU.

You can charge your phone too, even drive it through the app. Thats definitely a lot larger wheelchair than what we had to carry, but, it looks like it breaks down to about the size of 2 pieces of luggage? I shouldn't think there would be any trouble taking that and some other bags and stuff, though, I don't know how small/big your air mattress folds up to. I think, I mean, if your car stays parked outside i mean... sure? 60 miles a month sounds about right? I wouldn't though look at an EV with solar panels as "wow this will charge itself up!", because yeah thats like 2 miles a day of range, but approaching it as a "no worries of phantom drain, and I have an always on travel solar generator for camping!" I think is great. With how hard it is to get anything right now though, if you can get to try one, and you like it, get it. I've never driven an ionic 5, but from my experience using the sister car to it, I think they banged it out of the park over at hyundai/kia with the hardware base of their new cars. If you really intend to do a lot of road tripping, getting charged up in 15-20 minutes vs. 30-45 minutes or even longer is a really great thing to have in your pocket, and right now theres only... what, the taycan, and lucid that charge faster? Nothing is ever really future proof but I think hyundai's platform does a good job of being prepared for the future as best you can and most companies aren't going to catch up to that charging rate for a while. Theres always going to be another new car around the corner, and when the next big thing is out, you'll be on a year+ wait for it, and by the time you're getting close to getting your reservation ready, there will be rumors and reveals of the next thing coming out soon, etc.

The Bolt EUV is increasingly tempting to me at this point, post-price-drop. It seems like every EV at the moment is either half-baked or gigantic (or a Tesla, and there's no way I'm dealing with the whims of  ), so getting Super Cruise at around $35K in a compact package has a definite draw to it.

Automotive rated electronics support a huge temperature range of -40C to +105C. That is the ambient temperature and is tested by running the devices while they have that kind of heat applied either in a thermal chamber or by direct forced air or peltier device. It’s not surprising Tesla uses non automotive rated parts seems like something they’d do.

The center stack of an ordinary car can get to +80°C in the sun on a hot day. The car is a greenhouse and a turned-off LCD is effectively black so it absorbs a ton of solar radiation.

bird with big dick posted:0-60? Interior fit & finish for your like average upper-class, non-car person buyer in the $50-70k range, the GV60 seems like it's closest competition right now. I guess it doesn't matter because Ford can't meet production anyways, but I'm surprised they didn't do a Mach-E luxury trim. I can live with the Premium but there is certainly room to do a higher trim level with better interior materials like they did with the Lightning. They probably will at some point. priznat posted:It’s not surprising Tesla uses non automotive rated parts seems like something they’d do. No, they absolutely were. It was one of those things where everyone acted like Tesla caught all the other automotive makers off-guard with their infotainment display, the large displays simply did not exist within specs that any reputable auto manufacture would use. Tesla just said gently caress it and their displays failed at huge rates.

Granted, it really isn't workable for many, maybe even most EV users, but I do think 120 charging is a seriously overlooked EV infrastructure improvement that could be done extremely economically. I think there is a good chunk of users that would be served just fine if workplaces and apartments made 120v outlets accessible in their parking.

Fair point, go on. quote:Tesla appeared to mostly fix this problem with its "cabin overheat protection" feature (which it sold as being to protect dogs and children, despite the fact that it held the temperature at +40C which is about the temperature where a child's organs will start shutting down) Oh no.... goodbye children of Texas.

I’ve had my vehicles reach about 160F degrees inside in the summer. That’s when the ambient temp is about 100F. I think that’s about 70C inside temp when the ambient would be almost 40C if my brain maths are right. That’s a common daily temperature here throughout July and August. Edit wow I should have pulled down to update the thread before posting. Enjoy my temps

In addition to the temperatures already mentioned, it also has to withstand lots of vibration. Even in moderate climates, constant vibration can be hell on solder joints and connectors. When I went to replace the center console USB ports on my model 3, I had to get an adapter from the overbuilt connector in my car to the massively overbuilt connector in the newer cars (with the part I was installing). Vibration is a big deal, and difficult to test in the lab.
