Make sure that the car matches your expectations.

Don’t trust their range claims, most of the time they are exaggerated and only able to get that range on a perfect day doing constant 45mph without hills.

Do you have a reliable place to charge it? If you don’t have a personal parking place, and cannot install a charger at said place, trusting you have the range you need gets difficult, and expensive. As you have to rely on public chargers that are not very reliable, and worse for battery longevity (level 3 chargers)

Speaking of range. What range do you actually NEED? My opinion is the minimum range should be double the normal daily commute, as most level 2 chargers can add ~18 miles/he charging (overnight charge means 144 miles charge). Double your commute gives you a buffer for the heater, or the grocery run after work. For most people this is only 80 miles… which almost every electric only car can do without issues.

Is the cost worth the vehicle? Buying new is expensive, buying used can be risky. Do your research thoroughly and you’ll be able to decide what fits what you NEED (and that answer may easily be a used ICE vehicle instead)

I’ve had a full electric vehicle for 5+ years now as my daily. But I have always had a personal parking place, with a level 2 charger. I consider electric only to be a commuter car at best. It’s not going to be able to do a road trip. And depending on the car and the commute may even not be able to do a grocery run after work some days. If you have another car that is ICE that you can keep for those times, cool. Or if you are ok with planning, and rent a car when you want to do a road trip, great.

Personally I suggest a plug in hybrid for anyone who can only have one car, and is considering going electric. Prius prime, Chevy volt, Chrysler Pacifica are the ones that have enough range for a short commute, the rest are trying but just haven’t gotten there yet.

That is going to hurt when it cases down on the flat.

Well in India, it’s not rape when a husband forcibly inserts his penis into his wife’s urethra without her consent.

Says “four or five dried” mushrooms. Though didn’t mention size or weight.

They are in favor of printers?

Well yeah, because he would “marry” the girl, then rape her, then divorce her. Perfectly legal and therefore moral. /s

This is dangerous in two ways. 1: teaches people not to use enough force. 2: if they do use enough force, you get broken ribs without need.

Played Roy at blips and chitz.

Compare that with the absolutely massive number of other trucks with tonneau covers, and how often they get vandalized by racoons.

The Cybertruck is still a very rare vehicle. 2 instances is quite a lot statistically.

That section is a rubber like section to seal the gate against the tonneau cover. Not surprising at all that paws and teeth can tear it.

I think there’s a third category, though may be a small offset of the first. Those who would like to, but don’t have the day off and can’t afford it.

Home assistant, and frigate. Along with whatever type of smart lock you choose (even building one with esphome, diy version)

Exactly…

Essentially.

PLC, along with motion control.

Maintenance, transitioning into automation tech.

Sort of.

The electronics that do the communicating could sense the lack of antenna as a fault, then indicate to other devices in the vehicle that fault. This could potentially cause the vehicle to light it’s fault indicator, among any number of other things.

And by antenna, yes it could be what you think of as an Aerial, but it likely won’t be the same one as for the radio (some antennas are multi purpose, but most are tuned to specific bands)

RF analog electronics can often be damaged if powered without the antenna load, and of those that won’t be damaged, many will be able to detect and fault for lack of antenna load.

So replacing the antenna with a dummy load will keep the system operating “normally” without risk of damage, but also without actually sending data.

When you can’t afford to lose what you “invested”

Better would be to locate the antenna connection on the device that’s doing the communication, and replace the antenna with a dummy load.
