Does it mention anywhere in the docs that CT's inverter isn't capable of working with another generation source ?

20% number most likely comes from the liability angle. We all know there will be people who will drain the battery to 5% and then leave it unattended for weeks, then claim warranty. Even at 0% the cells are still significantly above their min voltage and will not get damaged if not left...

40 years from now people will still struggle to understand basic manufacturer's instructions. @Chris Pierce for daily use avoid cycling the battery outside of 80-20% range. Definitely don't leave vehicle unplugged if the SoC is below 20%. For occasional long trips don't hesitate to cycle the...

Final result :

I extended the business end a bit for the previous version to give it more strength, I think it should work for now. Previous geometry was circular as an optimization for the idea to make that part on a manual lathe (with a follow up on a manual mill), but for CNC (including 3D printing) that...

Yes, those are the studs I referenced earlier. I just generally didn't like the "reverse" setup for some applications, I would rather screw "into" the track when mounting some things. I'm actually thinking about throwing this design on the CNC mill for making them out of metal for medium...

Shocker.

Can't wait for some left radicals to try to vandalize that :ROFLMAO:

A typical 600A contactor will "burn" about 10W (possibly half that when economizer is used). How many contactors are enabled on the CT when AC charging ? Then you have the onboard computer (not the BMS) and any related controllers, probably also a decent 50-70W to run. I assume there aren't any...

FSD sometimes gets disabled after a software update, if you have it on your truck then you can just re-enable it through the Autopilot configuration menu. I don't have FSD at this time, and Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is where the Curvature Assist will show its flakiness. Probably the worst...

Curvature Assist can be quite annoying. It consistently slams on the brakes on the straight sections of highways in areas with intersections. That and phantom braking (from being blinded) makes Autopilot quite dangerous, given the habit of other drivers of following too closely.

I don't understand what you mean. The part prints flat, and is only 7mm thick.

I don't quite like the offset version as that nut pocket compromises the strength significantly. I will redo it for use with a heat set insert.

Here is the offset version. The hole is shifted by 5.2mm to give 142mm needed for the extinguisher mount. Also the hole is a bit smaller to clear an M4 screw and has a pocket on the back for M4 nut (7mm sides). Figured there is just not enough meat there for a large self-tapping screw, hence the...

Here are some pics from the actual fitment test... At the second glance it looks like if I offset the hole slightly within the part, it should line up with the mount I want to attach. I will post the modified version later as well.

I want to mount a fire extinguisher in the bed, and decided to use a quick detach mount like this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DB1XX27K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I was then looking at different bolt-style accessories for L-Track for light duty applications and didn't find...

Curious - what's the efficiency improvement without the mirrors ?
