My partner’s commute is 3 miles and she takes our car instead of riding a bike. On the bike path. That directly connects her office to our home door to door. In sunny California.

Spikes32 posted:Recap - we have a nema 6r-20L receptacle in the garage on a 20 amp circuit. We bought a id4 that came with a nema 14-50 charger. My car's 14-50 charger came with a swappable plug head to 3 prong. I'm guessing you checked for that already The J1772 protocol communicates the maximum safe current to the EV. In an OpenEVSE system you can set this manually, in a system that swaps plug heads I would guess that there's a pin in each head that specifies the safe amperage for that plug head (e.g. 40A for a 14-50, probably 8A for 3-prong). You should also be able to set the car's maximum requested current, I think that should be a standard feature but YMMV. Don't change the receptacle without also changing to a new circuit breaker with properly gauged wiring, that would be unsafe otherwise. Maybe research your EVSE to see if the manufacturer sells or provides either a swappable head or an adapter that's designed to communicate a different current draw to the EVSE circuit.

It's a VW OEM charger, which only comes with a big 14-50 adapter, and a normal 5-15 120V plug, which is kinda a disappointment, and there's no variable current setting, also a bummer. The user's manual does have this bizarre warning though. quote:Operate and store the charging cable with display unit at an altitude of maximum

I would think it would make sense just to invest in that because you wouldn't have to spend more money on a new EVSE when/if you upgraded the circuit. I think hardwire would be a go, but I also feel like there is a possibility to just replace the plug and still be safe/to code. It's already designed to be removed and replaced with hardwiring.

If you change the receptacle and the breaker, then you’re guaranteed to fry the 20A rated wiring in between. (I know you were referring to setting the EVSE to a lower current, but that’s not good enough. All it takes is that getting reset or someone unknowingly plugging in a welder and your house is done for.)

Sorry, I meant to say "the circuit" - not just the breaker If your circuit breakers are in the garage already then that may be pretty easy

It's fine to set an EVSE to whatever current the circuit can provide, that's, like, the point of variable current settings. You can also use a 6-50 or 14-50 on a branch circuit rated for less than 50 amps by code. Welders are a good example, since they typically come with a 6-50 plug, but draw far less than that.

I would think it would make sense just to invest in that because you wouldn't have to spend more money on a new EVSE when/if you upgraded the circuit. I (incredibly) agree with 3O here. Though I'd go with a Grizzle-E, they use dip switches to physically set max current draw, are reasonably priced, and very simple in operation. You could get the classic, set it to 16A on that 20A 240V circuit you have, and if you ever decide you want to flip the bill for a bigger circuit, just up the current settings.

It's always rough the first couple of times but eventually you learn to relax, get a lot of frequent pleasure from it and wonder why you were so reluctant in the first place.

I'm pretty sure I posted about it when the data was freshly released, but we actually have high-quality large scale data on Model 3 driver deaths in the US now, published as part of the IIHS's reports in 2023: https://www.iihs.org/ratings/driver-death-rates-by-make-and-model The Model 3, as a midsize luxury car, does a little worse than average for the segment. RWD model 3s had a much lower death rate than AWD Model 3s. It isn't an outlier by driver deaths alone. The most dangerous car on the road is the Nissan Altima, now that one's a death machine.

Vegetable posted:Those confidence intervals make the data almost entirely useless This is also the biggest study of its kind, so it's the best we've got for now. I don't know how you'd do better than it given that models change, older cars are often less safe than newer, and there are so many different models of car out there. Any numbers that don't have confidence intervals on them are just simply logging how many people died in X model in a given year. quote:A vehicle must have at least 100,000 registered vehicle years or at least 20 deaths in the four-year study period to be included. To increase the sample size and thereby improve the accuracy of the calculations, results are included for earlier model years (up to three) if the vehicle wasn’t substantially redesigned during that time. This is indicated in the model-year span column.

Thankfully cybertruck reliability is so poor they won't have a chance to run up the other driver death rate with their sharpened edges of hardened steel just going everywhere in a collision. (They will be safely nestled in a service centre or otherwise undriveable)

So today I finally pulled the stalk on my Full Self Driving (Supervised) trial. What the gently caress! People actually pay for this poo poo? Now sure, when you are driving on a unpainted road that is mostly straight or just some mild curves its fine, no problem, lane keep that works adequately even when there is no painted lane markers, fine, okay, no problem. But making turns, navigating intersections, stopping for stop signs, anything not a simple road, I think it failed or I involuntarily stepped on the brake on like 5 out of 7 turns I even attempted (all on mostly empty back roads). It came up on turns like super fast, like its about to turn off the road it is on into a side road at like 200 feet from the intersection and it just now decides it is time to decelerate from 57 MPH, so it brakes way later and thus has to slow down way harder than I would have. Also apparently every sign with a multiple of the number 5 is now a speed limit sign, even if the number is only 5. Yeah, that was significantly more stressful than just driving myself.

Just walked by a Kia EV9 in person yesterday. I liked the photos I've seen of it before, but seeing it in person, the thing looks kinda weird. It's big and angular, but seems overdesigned and somehow under detailed at the same time.

Indiana_Krom posted:So today I finally pulled the stalk on my Full Self Driving (Supervised) trial. What the gently caress! People actually pay for this poo poo? How fast will FSD go? Does it go a certain ratio over the speed limit, a fixed offset over the limit, or try and match traffic if there is any? I'm just wondering if it's dumb enough to merge into I-255 and try and go Autobahn speeds, or how it handles things like the 85mph limits outside Austin. The people mentioning that it's slow to adjust to big speed limit changes make me wonder how you aren't getting nailed by speed traps all the time, I've driven through so many small towns where the abrupt drop from 65 or 70mph to 35mph means everyone who isn't under 40mph is getting a ticket. Edit: the other part of this equation is efficiency too, it burns a ton more energy to drive 85mph over 70mph.
