YYYYMMDD is the only correct answer.

Would a couple desiccant packs in the enclosure work as well?

If I can’t find something that’ll work I’ll do that for sure.

Yeah I was looking for a camera specific case, but I probably need to expand my search a bit. Maybe a more generic box of some sort.

Edit to add - This looks ideal, I just needed to think outside the box a bit more :)

All new cars have the same problems. Mediocre interiors for the price, spyware, and rent seeking behavior for stuff like automated highway driving.

100%. It sucks, the prices are insane. Ours was insane. And those issues apply to all new cars, regardless of fuel.

We have a Hyundai Ioniq 6, about 18 months now. It has a touchscreen like all EVs (I know, there’s a truck) but it still has a lot of physical buttons, unlike a Tesla which has gone way too far with the screen. We tried the Mustang and liked it, but liked this better, plus my wife wanted a sedan.

Biggest pro is it’s not a Tesla. Also, I get home, plug it in, and go inside. Takes five seconds, and five more to unplug it. Plus, it’s not a Tesla. Way less time than it takes at the gas station to fill my truck. It’s also fast, a lot of fun to drive, and finally, it’s not a Tesla.

Con would be road-tripping. If I was doing a ton of that, I’d be perhaps looking for an EREV of some sort, although 20-80% in 20 min isn’t exactly horrible. Charger is CCS, but sometime this month Hyundai is sending me an NACS adapter, so no more issues there - we did have one time where we had to wait for CCS when a NACS was open, but not exactly a massive issue. The new models are NACS.

Forgot to mention, in US, range about 300 miles or so, and there was a sensor issue that ended up with a harness replacement that didn’t cost me anything under warranty, but had an estimate of $8500.

Perfect. Ordered my parts, odds are I’m going to end up building a dozen of these. Thanks!

Cheaper is good. No issues with it being wireless? Or do you add a wired Ethernet adapter for this use case?

Thank you, that’s super helpful. It’s coming into the right season for where he lives, hopefully he’ll be able to make it work.

My son has talked about getting into the handyman business, but doesn’t know how to get started finding customers. I’ve always been in the corporate world and I have no idea how to help him get started. Any suggestions?

Doesn’t seem to indicate whether groups will work with vertical tabs and unless that’s the case, I’m not switching from TST.

Good. Stop using our groundwater to grow cattle food for other countries, assholes.

I saw this synopsis a little bit ago and I thought it was a pretty good short description

This is quite good. Sorry it’s a short.

A belt drive with integrated gearbox (no derailleur) is imho the future of e-bikes, especially as they get more powerful. This is anecdotal but based on my own experience.

I have a middrive bike, fat tire 9 speeds. It has a fairly powerful cargo bike motor that puts out 130Nm. The cassette is a Shimano HG-400, most durable option I’ve been able to find. I’ve had issues with it eating the 9th gear cog, just rounding off the teeth VERY quickly. I have to ride it like driving a big truck - have to get into the lower gears and never accelerate when I’m in 9th. That plus ordering a bunch of spare 9th gear cogs from AliExpress is workable but for somebody with less biking experience, this would be a very frustrating set up, especially if what they want to do is mostly ride around on the throttle.

In comparison, I also have an eMTB, 85Nm. I can push hard on the top gear without this problem - I could break the chain overdoing it (did that once) but it can take a ton more abuse. The cassette is an SRAM XG-1275 which is without question a higher tier of component, but the point still stands, I can abuse it without it rounding the teeth.

It comes down to the amount of power the motor + me can produce, when put through components that were designed for human output on a moderate weight bike not for human + motor on a much heavier e-bike. A belt can just take more power.

My wife did this for the recent local Tesla protest, and they (media) showed up, based on tips from her and others. It works.

This is by far my favorite “conspiracy theory”. Smells like bs, and yet… it hangs together in my gut a bit, you know? I don’t exactly buy it, but I don’t exactly not buy it either.

That is cool, the sram post is ridiculously expensive.
