That is 15 pounds of the most chill cat you can imagine, last time I brought him to the vet they thought he was sick because if you pick him up you just get a sad meow and 15 pounds of dead weight.

My mom has a giant bag of orange floof like that. Pictured here inspecting my workmanship after I fixed a kitchen light. Not relevant at all, but this is a really cute picture I took today.

Jymmybob posted:How has this thread been giving electrical advice when no one even knows what a clamp ammeter is. It's like watching a mechanic trying to figure out a screwdriver. Like Slowbloke said, we're just enjoying the ride; he already got the actual info he needs. The Wallbox stuff uses them on the [sub]panel lines, too, but then actual realtime load balancing communication between EVSEs is done over hardwired bus lines (in-wall Cat5 wiring) instead of WiFi-Cloud-EVSE.

Just be cool like me and get a dedicated 100 amp service for the garage, I'll always have 50 amps available for a car. Though this is all theoretical, I'm just getting started on thinking about getting a new car, and it being an electric car.

My garage is detached with a sub panel fed by an underground cable with an undersized neutral. It's not feasible to dig up the yard and replace the cable, and because of where my service entrance is, there's no space to run power from in the air from the house to the garage. So when everything else in the house got replaced, the electrician said the best bet would be to just get a new service for the garage, and put in the appropriate panel for that. So regardless of the electric car, the long term plan has always been to get a second dedicated service.

Undersized neutral is zero problem whatsoever for L2 EV charging, the neutral isn't even connected to the vast majority of the chargers, it does absolutely nothing for them.

Indiana_Krom posted:Undersized neutral is zero problem whatsoever for L2 EV charging, the neutral isn't even connected to the vast majority of the chargers, it does absolutely nothing for them. Code no longer allows an undersized neutral, even though electrically it would be fine with a 240V load. So my sub panel is limited to 30 or 40 amps because of that. And I don't have a dedicated ground back to the main panel either, which is also no longer up to code (though the inspector grandfathered the sub panel with a separate ground because it was way better than what was there before). Considering the state of the old sub panel and other existing electrical, I'm not even convinced the existing underground wiring was ever up to code. So I'm happy to eventually be no longer relying on any of that. And my local utility has an EV pricing option that requires a separate service, so there could be upsides to me doing that for an EV anyways.

Talorat posted:All those white clasp connectors go around each of the hot lines coming from your breakers. They do indeed hook up to the base unit via a 3.5mm audio jack, presumably because the signal they get is analog anyways. Each clasp measures the total amperage being pulled per circuit so you can get a nice display of where your power is going. Here’s what mine looks like: Yeah, I want one myself, it looks useful Elviscat posted:Stop being loving weird, return that thing and just use a regular loving EVSE. That one doesn't even do the unnecessary thing that you want it to do, even if you somehow get it installed without killing yourself. My landlord isn't spending $5000 to upgrade my 100A panel with 5 open slots to a bigger one. The heat death of the universe is more likely to happen first.

Well yeah, it's situation dependent, it makes sense to use a load-balancing charger in your case. It makes no sense to use one in a 1300sqft house with a 200A service and gas heat, like 3O has.

Is there a "used model S buying guide" someone can recommend Model S got a nose refresh in ~2016, and I think panel fit and finish improved dramatically ... Sometime after 2015. Probably later than that. I think the model 3 has a "million mile drive unit" as of 2018 so presumably that technology trickled up to the S at some point Looks like there's a handful of 2018 model S for under 40k? ha;lp

cruft posted:What kind of heat pump would I need to run an iron forge? A heat pump wouldn't be ideal for that application, since they can only deliver a set delta-t, you'd need a refrigerant with an extremely high boiling point, mercury maybe? The various mechanical bits for pumping and sealing the fluid would also have to be intensely heat resistant. I think you might be able to get there with nickel based superalloy moving bits, mercury lubricated hydrodynamic bearings and platinum seals though. cruft posted:Maybe 3O is just a huge nerd and wants to play with a new gadget. I have to unplug my car if I want to plug my TIG welder in, so I don't have this problem. I'm really kicking myself for leaving a 10kW touchscreen toaster joke out of that load calc sheet tho, I should wait until I'm sober to do this stuff. Ok Comboomer posted:watch it go on to handily outsell the lightning despite being worse in a million different ways Don't they have like 1,000,000 pre-orders or something? I think it'd be really funny if a lot of those are people hoping to flip 'em, and the price absolutely tanks, leaving a bunch of people holding a leaky $100,000 bag with inch wide panel gaps.

The preorder amount was really low, like just $100 iirc. It got a lot of people just slapping one down. 90% of them will probably not be interested in going through with it for whatever reason.

Hadlock posted:What is the rationale here? We're targeting a full size car the Model S doesn’t rly feel appreciably bigger, IMO, at least not in a way that will matter to a growing family. It’s a bigger sedan, so the front occupants might feel a bit more legroom but it’s not going to translate to appreciably more room to put kids and their stuff. A newer/new 3 will be in better shape, be better built, and probably give you fewer headaches than a ~2018 S. Plus the S has a bunch of weird interior design choices, especially with the center console and the dividers/bottle holder things. Idk. I’ve driven/temporarily lived with both recently and I wasn’t super impressed going from the 3 to the S, although the latter did feel like it made more power and was more erm-“stately” feeling. Like it’s definitely a bigger car, I just wouldn’t go in thinking it’s much more practical. Alternatively I’d recommend looking at something like an ID.4 or an Ioniq 5.

2024 Renault Scenic e-tech has been CUV-ified but will apparently have 625km in official range! Previously they've been immensely practical, affordable vehicles so will be interesting to see the price tag on it Compare to the 2022 design (which looks great in person):

I’ve been blazing through the reviews. They’re really positive. Everyone’s buzzing about the suspension. Mat from carwow says the guy tuning it has been with Volvo for decades and this is his last car before retirement. The negative things largely line up with what we already knew: 1. No HUD or dashboard; speed is on the center screen 2. Rear seats are pretty cramped for taller passengers 3. Lots of stuff buried in menus Tesla style, including climate control That said I’m pretty psyched to have placed a deposit on this months ago. Looking forward to a test drive. I’m shopping for a new car only really to get adaptive cruise control for the road trips — definitely wanna try that out.
