Russian Bear posted:The 4 bizzy was not really a collab as much as Subaru getting to have Toyota's car so they can have an easier time with emission rules. Subaru can't afford to develop an EV. I do love how they're advertising on the radio that you can now get Subaru's legendary all wheel drive in an electric vehicle. Chuckle every time I hear that.

My dad has one and it's odd because without size context it looks like a Golf sized car, and then you get near it and it's like a 9/8 scale Golf. It wasn't just the media deck. edit: probably the fact that it rides on dubs is part of it

Nissan's 2017 MP3 player plays files in the order they were written to the thumb drive.  This feels like it was written by a college sophomore who didn't care about getting a C in the class.

Your 2017 Nissan mp3 player backend was probably designed 2003, based on code from the late 90s, by the most junior engineer they could find who "knew how to use computers", as an afterthought, because someone in marketing decided they needed to have this feature.

Yeah, that feels about right. Still, it's pretty cool that I can load the car up with 32 gigs of MP3s. The crappy 2017 LEAF battery will reach 0% SOH before the stereo reaches the end of the playlist.

I mean, poo poo, every single automobile I've had up until this had that figured out, including my previous 2020 Silverado. Not a big deal for a song obviously, but I generally use it for 1+ hour long podcasts. Yes, I know people mostly use their phones, but it's so lovely to connect with android auto I just use a thumb drive because it's at least reliable.... other than the whole losing the place you were in a 4 hour podcast.

I think the difference in the fork and solterra is you can't Turn off all wheel drive in the solterra as Subaru's gimmick is that you can't Turn it off

sinequanon01 posted:I just leased one. It’s enormous. I love it. Yeah no poo poo it's huge. We have a Sorento PHEV which is considered a pretty large vehicle here in commieland, but the EV9 is like 20cm longer and 8cm wider. Considering the Sorento is bad enough trying to maneuver around parking garages here I think I'll have to give it a pass. Cool car though and very nicely put together.

Those Rivians look excellent. I would love to get an R1S but they're too spendy and I don't need the offroad capability. The R2S would be perfect

cruft posted:Yeah, that feels about right. The poverty spec Leaf had a really nice radio, just fast, seamless connection to Bluetooth that worked every time once set up. The last time I saw a thumb drive in a stereo was when I took possession of my dad's 01 Ranger with one still stuck in it, right before I tore the head unit out (still worked but all the LEDs for the 9-segment were lit up all the time, I went with him to CarToys 20 years earlier to get it put in) and replaced it with a cheap Bluetooth one. What I'm saying is you're old. Speaking of. slidebite posted:My 2023 Silverado will not remember where I left a thumb drive MP3 file when I shut the truck off. It starts from the beginning. Each time. So you have to fast forward to where you think it was you left off. I think you're doing it wrong somehow, my 22 Bolt should have similar infotainment to yours, and I've had problems playing podcasts maybe twice? In a year of commuting, and I listen to 2 hours of podcasts a day. Have you tried a different app?

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:R3X is neat, but what is up with that lower rear valence/bumper? I'm not sure what's up with the bumper, but the lower valence has an accessory receiver system of some sort, with two arms that connect to the car. I can't find much info on it, and the system seems to be on the R2 and R3. Not sure if it would also have a regular towing hitch receiver, but I assume so? Also I imagine that the accessories would have to be Rivian exclusive so $$$, but might be cool, as they might be stronger/able to handle more tongue weight.

it's hard to imagine anything being stronger than a hitch reciever. it's just a big steel tube. lighter, maybe

Elviscat posted:Speaking of. I'm sure I could try and use my phone as the device, but like I said it's clunky and infuriating. Either the wireless drops out, or even a cabled connection if it plug it in. It's not my phone or cable as it's been with several different devices  Using a USB thumb drive full of MP3s should be nuts simple.I just looked at a 22 Bolt infotainment review and there are some similarities but I'm not sure the software back-end is the same, seems to be some differences too. But if you have any ideas, I'm 100% game to try something.

slidebite posted:It's entirely possible, but I'm sure how I could do it wrong. It's using the default infotainment MP3 player when you select USB as a source. I don't see a way to change that even if I wanted to. Try a highly rated 3rd party MP3 player like Pi music. Or use something like Spotify or Amazon for podcasts, if they're available, Amazon is good at picking up where I left off in podcasts, and you can download them to your phone. Does the infotainment let you choose Bluetooth only? Mine defaults to BT if AA isn't selected, and it's slightly more stable/reliable, just plays whatever the phone's playing and allows track selection, doesn't drain the battery like AA/Carplay wireless.

EA opened their new fast charging station in Rock Springs, WY earlier this week after several months being fully constructed but not brought online for whatever reason. This is a relatively big deal as it's on I-80, and before it was 200 miles between Evanston and Rawlins, and that's now cut in half.

Every single cable cut off at the charging station I stopped at today. :facepalm: The note on Plugshare said the cables were lying on the ground (I read it after I arrived, obviously). So they didn't steal the cables...just vandalized?

There is a cutaway on fuel pumps so if someone drives away with it still attached to the car it won’t damage the pump… maybe the time is coming when ICE cars pull up to the station every hose is gone. In all seriousness though it just shows how riled up people are about something that has zero effect on them, so pointless.

It could always just be dickhead teenagers. I dunno if you meant an L2 or an L3 station, but I would never have the balls to cut an L3 cable, I've seen HVDC arc flashes before, and I KNOW it's safe and interlocked but...

Yeah L3. Thicc. "Only" 100kw. I wanted to see if I could really hit 174 amps on Chademo like Bjorn Nyland. I'm sure nobody was plugged in at the time of the cut though.

This future is detailed in SAE J3400. It will be a CCS2 connector on the charger side, and you'll bring your own cable. cruft fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Apr 20, 2024 |

cruft posted:This future is detailed in SAE J3400. I think that only applies to L2 cables. DCFC cables will probably always be permanently attached because they require liquid cooling to handle the 600+ amps it takes while still being light and flexible enough for ordinary people to use. Also isn't the other end of the J3400 detachable cable spec just the Mennekes connector and not the full CCS2 combo (Mennekes + DC pins)?
