If you go through insurance you want to have a police report filed. At least attempt to file it :D That establishes that you were not at fault, and shouldn't affect your premium.

Wow, that's really some shitty police department. Sorry you got to find out that way. Please write a complaint to the city council. It will probably fall on deaf ears, but hopefully enough citizens will actually try to hold them accountable where they may feel worried about their seats and put...

That's the weirdest thing I heard this year. Destruction of property is against the law regardless of where the property is located. I haven't checked all 50 states, but pretty sure it's universal nationwide. I mean it may not be a specific traffic offense because of the "private property", but...

Also another thing... do we know how the energy tracker works ? Is it really total energy used per mile traveled, or is it energy used in the traction subsystem only ? In other words if you sit in a parking lot with AC on for an hour, does it count it towards the current trip or not ?

Reserve is at least 10%, but possibly 15%. Can't say if that's how it's done in CT, but in the industry the common practice is to leave 10% at the bottom and 5% at the top, so the actual cycling of the battery is 10-95%.

I rented a similar camper on Outdoorsy a few months ago. The host asked the distance to the ground from the receiver and adjusted the coupler on the trailer ahead of time - I gave them the height in Low suspension mode. Likewise they had the WD setup with sway control, so it wasn't necessary to...

Fridges generate heat. So it's better to put them in locations where venting that heat out is easier...

Great when you're not carrying anything, but that's not a practical reality - spare tire, water, generator, fridge... Build a platform attaching to the L-track, and setup the tent on top of that.

Yeah, but as you point out the point of failure was the bolt... which wouldn't have been needed in the first place if they had a continuous run all the way to the Wall Connector... which you said they could have had, given it was a purpose-installed circuit during new construction. Even if the...

It looked like there may have been an existing drop for a 50A outlet or similar that they repurposed and needed to extend it a bit to wire into the Wall Connector.

Right... I'd be not very inclined to lookup the formulas and do such math by hand, so AI is quite useful... assuming it's even remotely correct and doesn't BS us :D :D :D

It can't get hot though, that's the point. The only reason it got hot in this case is arcing. Here is what the AI calculated for a couple of examples : 4AWG copper @ 48A Now 4AWG @ 48 Aluminum I think the short copper run above was 6AWG, so just case another calculation 4AWG aluminum...

Are these intended for this application in the first place ? There are those Polaris terminals that are insulated and can be properly torqued.

How ?

I've noticed lately activating FSD changes dynamics to Comfort, and deactivating returns it back to the previous mode. That is very annoying.
