On paper, 12v/48v wouldn't make any difference to the thread, if the requirement is to have a backup LV battery for safety systems then you'd need a 48v battery alongside the main HV battery.. that would still be able to be flattened.. However, reading that article, it seems they've taken the...

This is how most modern cars work with completely flat batteries, when they get that low, all the electronics shut off, and won’t turn back on unless it’s got sufficient voltage, so ‘jump starting’ from another 12v battery is required.o Same happened to my daughter with her boyfriend, he had a...

The ID.3 had adaptive cruise with speed limit awareness, so it would follow the speed limit or car in front, it made using it much less of a faff since you enabled it once and it did what I wanted as it transitioned between limits. I find people on motorways will drift in speed up to 5+ MPH...

I always wondered how long they'd last.. Whilst I have plenty of EK kit, and my last build was pretty much all new EK stuff (GPU/CPU blocks, FLT120 Res/D5 Pump, 2 x 360 EK Quantum Surface rads), I only bought this on aesthetics, the rads look a little neater and a tiny FLT120 pump/res combo...

With membranes, there are always two failures 1. flexible copper track erodes or cracks - you can test this easily with a multimeter or anything that measures resistance/conductivity, you can normally see the problem, either corrosion that erodes the track, or the cracks (often hairline)...

Also try "Urban VPN Proxy" which is a Chrome extension, free and fine for this kind of thing.

They said they should be doing v3 units much quicker than that but wanted a longer deadline to give them time to roll it out to older v2 units (like mine).. Mind you, it's not massively going to help, but hopefully it won't take 10-30 minutes to figure out the car is charging before it stops...

Since Hypervolt announced Enphase and Kraken integrations the other week, is this still true? I like the expansive myenergi eco-system but that comes at a reasonable cost, my neighbour has a zappi and had to buy a 'hub' to get OTA firmware updates and it doesn't play nicely at all with his...

@john_smith - Always good to look out for second hand kit.. A full Triad set including power amps is on AVForums - https://www.avforums.com/threads/triad-silver-in-wall-ceiling-7-4-4-speaker-package-rrp-%C2%A319k-open-to-offers.2489617/ - £8500 for what was £19K for an entire 7.4.4 atmos setup...

Sure, a bit more 'black' in places for contrast would be perfect, but over all black, I'd take that any day.. The red/grey colour combo is one of the best IMO, definitely something I'd pay a premium for.. when I was looking at AMV8 roadsters, one was in Tungsten Grey with a Crimson full...

If you can do this for £50k, then this: This looked epic in the flesh. (and 0.5 bonus points if you can spot the celeb in under 30 seconds lurking in the picture)

My observation is how do you think you will fill the ever morphing role of CEO/CTO as it goes from Seed to Series A and possibly Series B/C etc? i.e. your "Whilst I’m not a product manager I am very good at developing ideas and turning them into highly viable prototypes. This is basically my...

At least he has a LinkedIn account: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-davidson-b2b4161a1/ The world is your oyster.. I'd personally recommend CERN, broad range of roles and they lap up grads like this.. a good chance to get out of the UK (you'll soon find the UK is not what you think it is)...

This is good insight! And possibly why I prefer convertibles.. the E46 M3 was 'fun' just tootling around roof down with the odd blip.. and I get that same visceral mix of roof down / occasional blip in the Mustang.. Oddly though, the 10R80 box in 'S' mode is what actually gives it some...

Saw the new Ford Explorer at the Mustang 60th event on the weekend, actually looked quite nice, considering its based on the MEB platform, the infotainment looks massively better than the VW offerings, and the size is about right for a family, not stupidly big.. No test drives allowed when I...

Some good advice in this thread! From my perspective and experiences Light control - paramount, the biggest improvement you can make to the IQ is light level: 1. Provision for proper black out blinds, I can recommend BlocBlinds, they do ones with side channels and have brushes in those, and on...

Unless you want an auto, get the manual... The 10 speed auto is not bad, in sport modes it has very quick/sharp gear changes, and in manual mode it's passable for being engaging, but if you don't mind manuals, that is just always more engaging and direct. I had a few blips with a few...

I’ve recently got a 2020 ‘55 Edition’ V8 Convertible. In terms of spec, really the main considerations are: (best to get at least the first option pack, but there are things to know) 1. Magne ride (adaptive suspension) is an option - non Magneride cars from my test drives are a bit bouncy, not...

A quick google suggests 700,000.. https://media.rac.co.uk/pressreleases/drivers-of-nearly-700000-cars-in-greater-london-could-be-liable-to-pay-the-ulez-charge-when-the-zone-is-expanded-this-summer-3241731#:~:text=Nearly%20700%2C000%20car%20drivers%20in,made%20by%20the%20RAC%20reveals. And,

Have you not noticed how many cars you fly by when you go up Halden Hill? I went up last Friday morning and passed 30+ cars, in fact by the top the speed differential is often a bit much if you are maintaining the speed limit. There has to be many reasons for this, a combination of: 1. Not...
