The 2.4ghz radio in my router completely died. You don't notice with devices like laptops and phones, but a lot of iot type stuff only works on that band.

Hm I have UniFi APs and have a few items still connected on the 2.4GHz, and even still I should see all the neighbours wifi networks when it scans. Instead I get bupkis. Kind of makes me think the wifi hardware in the ChargePoint is dead. I remember when I first got it there was a ton of networks showing up when I first connected. Could still be some weird config on the evse preventing it from going, but I’ve done all the debug steps on their site like rebooting routers etc and no joy

Welp, getting my EV6 stuck in mud was a great time to find out that it's been shipped without a towing eye.

Check on unifi controller if you disabled 11b or 11g from 2.4g radio. Maybe it's trying to link at slower speeds than allowed.

Also did you try power cycling the chargepoint? (unplug it if it has a plug, cycle its breaker if it is hardwired)

I was only parking at home  Parts of my driveway are completely hosed from rain and heavy cars coming and going. Usually I can get the car free but this time I must have hit just the right spot. I managed to get it free by rocking it back and forth for 10 minutes. Fun fact: when you disable the parking sensors because tall grass and bushes trigger them so the car is screaming at you, they reactivate when you switch gear...which...you do a lot while rocking the car back and forth.

Long time thread lurker. Just did the LA Auto show this week. Stelantis and Volvo were no shows. Lots of EVs. Looks like VW is bringing back their hippie van, full electric. There were a couple there. https://www.vw.com/en/models/id-buzz.html The basement was full of LA lowriders, motorcycles and lowrider bicycles. That was more exciting to me than 99 percent of the manufacturers' stuff.

Indiana_Krom posted:Also FSD beta is something else entirely and I don't think autopilot has seen any significant updates in the last couple years. And now Tesla is testing version 12, which uses neural networks for control as well as perception. In the long run, that's probably our best hope of getting a self-driving car to handle all the nuances of real-world driving, but when it first comes out it may be a step backwards. mysteryberto posted:Model 3's are so cheap right now. I see some local inventory for 36,260. That's only $28760 after the federal rebate. Even cheaper if you have a state with a rebate. There's a decent chance that's all about clearing out the existing inventory before the Highland redesign is released in the US.

There was a company there that was doing antique car EV installs (not lowriders, just normal cruisers). Sorry I didn't catch the company name. They had about 6 or 7 converted classic cars. I looked at the vendor list, but couldn't find it. E: there were about 6 of those extreme VW bug lowriders that were about 3 feet high. I'd post pics but I don't have a imgur account.

Also, that van is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen, and some of the safety-rating incompatible design choices scream vapor ware to me. E: looks like they've been crash testing them and it's been going well, cool! They'll be fine to insure, they may offer their own insurance, like Tesla and Rivian. Tesla and Rivian have similar median monthly coverage prices through insurers like GEICO and Progressive, those prices are about $30/month above the median for all cars sold in the US.

quote:Unlike competitors that often have separate call centers to take claim reports, Tesla’s adjusters had to answer the phones themselves while also handling claims. This is a claims handling practice from like circa 2006, by which point every carrier with even half a brain realized segmenting low complexity tasks such as taking a new loss report could be done by a lower cost employee. This also frees up your adjusters to actually handle claims. quote:In many states where Tesla Insurance is available, its monthly premiums can vary based on daily “Safety Scores" that the automaker says reflect “real-time driving behavior” measured by sensors and software. Tesla is facing at least two class-action lawsuits that allege its vehicles are prone to producing false collision warnings that can lower the scores and inflate premiums. In court filings, Tesla has denied the allegations and sought to dismiss the cases. There’s a reason that other manufacturers don’t offer in house insurance, and it’s because of poo poo like this.

The cargo version of this is already starting to become a popular work vehicle in Europe. I've seen more than a few. There's a local drilling contractor of some description that has one parked in my neighborhood - dark blue, cargo compartment in the back so no windows, ugly winter wheels with no fancy rims at all, company logo on the side. I'd expect all sorts of construction industry specialist contractors to be all over these (people like the aforementioned drilling specialist, various engineers and surveyors, blasting specialists, welders, etc). It's a very common work van form factor and I'd expect the range to be perfectly fine for any city work. TheFluff fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Nov 27, 2023 |

A yes, the famous Hiwildoo brand, a trusted name in electrical devices for generations. I personally think there's a very low risk of these off-brand chargers starting a fire, and I used one for years with no issues. That being said, it was in a garage far from my house, that I literally didn't care if it burned to the ground. If I were going to put one where it could catch my house on fire, I'd spend the extra $100-200 to get an Emporia, Chargepoint, Juicebox, Tesla, ClipperCreek, or Grizzle-E charger.
