I have also done it. My MacBook Pro felt like a torture to use until I filed the edges. Much better now.

I suspect almost everyone who is savvy is already using LLMs instead of Google, I have been for awhile. (If you only read the summary from google and don’t actually click on results links you are also using an LLM)

This has nothing to do with EVs, and likely all new Hyundais do (or will?) use this same diagnostic system.

For comparison, Teslas do not require purchase of their software for basic maintenance, the service mode that is accessible to the user is amazing, has so many diagnostics tools available for free.

Oh and by the way, from my experience Teslas don’t ever need brake pads replaced unless you are taking the car to the track. I suspect the same is true for most other EVs.

You don’t have to like the name or the current administration but to call it a typo is a bad faith effort on your part.

Heat pumps on cars can go well below freezing without any issues.

Let’s have restaurants raise prices to cover employee salaries, and make it illegal for them to ask for tips. Customers who want to tip need to do so without solicitation. (Not sure how this would work with credit card terminals though).

An obvious question is: what were the 60 minutes team doing on this exact ship? There is got to be more to this story.

We simply wouldn’t need “g” and would say that acceleration due to gravity on earth is sqrt(pi).

When these articles talk about “EVs” almost all the time what they REALLY mean is “non-Tesla EVs”.

Not if the algorithm is cracked and the supply of bitcoin increases. It’s possible for bitcoin to go to zero. Shouldn’t happen, but it can.

3.92V is very conservative, that is a good voltage for long term storage even. It should be safe to charge to 4.05-4.10V regularly.

Yes, just like when you leave a key for any car inside the car.

The explanation is likely simple: the owner of the car left their car unlocked and either had the key card on the center console, or left their paired phone (which acts as the key) inside the car.

These details were likely left out to make a more interesting story.

From my experience of working on a few Teslas, I would say they are easier to repair than most ICE cars. Well at least the newer ones (model 3 and Y).
