You’re not unlucky, in the U.S. any charger that isn’t made by Tesla is unreliable. It’s been getting worse over time, and the only real hope is that every manufacturer is switching to Tesla’s charge port (now called NACS) and getting access to their Superchargers.
I had a non-Tesla EV and eventually got a Tesla because I need to road trip regularly and can’t handle chargers being down.
I switched to Android a few months ago and expected to want to switch away from Apple Music, but their Android app is excellent. Plus they have lossless quality. Oh, and you can upload your own music to their cloud for streaming anywhere.
Do you use Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1)? They block it because they remove some trackable information from requests.
You can run any Linux application on them… Not a computer though.
Ooh I’ll finally have to switch! One less app sucking up battery in the background 😍
LiFePO4 batteries like being charged up high, so you’re probably fine keeping them plugged in.
You’re right about not going under 20% often, but you’ll want to charge to 100% at least periodically to allow the cells to balance.
Edit: Please make sure you’re looking up information on Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries specifically, they behave differently from standard lithium batteries and a lot of the advice shared here won’t apply.
Hmm if only there were something other than a massive tower that caused environmental issues and a single family home 🤔
Nope! And yet they try to sell it as an open system lmao
Or you could simply remember that it’s just a meme and stop getting so worked up!

Good thing memes don’t have to account for every individuals experience in the world huh
Good thing the Volt has a really well-designed battery that you’ll basically never need to replace. The management system babies those cells.
There’s a reason people love crashed volts for DIY battery storage and EV conversions.
They really don’t. It’s not like after 10 years your battery just explodes and stops working. They lose a little bit of capacity and work just fine.
I have a 5 year old EV with barely any battery degredation. That I bought used!
that’s… nearly as weird?
I set up a new HA install a couple months ago and didn’t write any YAML. It was kind of nice? The UI tools have come a long way and it discovered all my devices which had never happened before.
The thread you shared is worrying though, it’s the complete opposite of the spirit of FOSS. I should probably reconsider paying for their subscription at a minimum.
Their software is actually good though, unlike anything GM has produced so far.
There have been CarPlay compatible cars on the market for 8 years now and they work fine with newer iPhones. Hell, Apple still supports the iPod USB protocol for even older cars on new iPhones.
It’s not much of a concern, in my opinion. And I drive a car with no CarPlay and only built-in infotainment lol
Yeah, digital task management or note taking has never worked well for me. It’s best if I write things down, then fill out Jira or whatever
The Time Article they’re referencing is worth a read. Excellent reporting, and there’s no excuses for Apple and Foxconn here.
Just like when you buy a new cell phone and it comes with free service for life, right?
Oh. You mean things with ongoing costs cost money? How sad.
You can use the left scroll wheel on your steering wheel to adjust the wipers once you’ve pressed for a single wipe. Just click it right for more, left for less. No need to look at the screen at all really. There’s a little graphic on the wiper controls showing you this.
