Just an update: I was there today and there hasn't been any visible/apparent progress since these July pictures. Looks pretty much the same.

Maybe it's limited to the Model Y? Never had this problem on my 2019 Model 3 LR, and had never heard of it at all before. To the OP - Assuming this is limited to the Y and it's a problem with particular vehicles, maybe you should simply order one if you otherwise loved it, but if you find...

2019 Model 3 LR DM AWD, 78k miles. FUCA replaced under warrantly, maybe 6 months after taking delivery. New tires at 40k miles (ok, so I had a heavy foot when I got it...) Rear glass replaced OOW due to external crack, cause unknown. Frunk secondary latch replaced under warranty just before...

I've taken two very long road trips - central Florida to Wyoming and back - and I absolutely loved doing it in my 2019 Model 3. Like the OP, I liked the pace of travel and loved that I did not feel totally exhausted and completely sick of driving at the end of 15 hours on the road. I felt...

Does anyone know the units for the power value?

I wouldn't get excited - the number of things I've seen him reply "sure" to that are actually in the car now isn't exactly high.

Does Nikola have the same scheduling capability as TeslaFi? Within the realm of “everyone’s needs are different”, there are a number of reasons you might want the data. Expense tracking, determining how efficiently you are driving (how many Wh per drive - like tracking your MPG), tracking...

Unless you are sensitive to the ozone, simply opening it outside isn't going to do anything to you. You could even open the lid and come back in 10 minutes to remove the disinfected contents if needed. The ozone will also be disinfecting things, so it's a good thing to keep trapped in there...

I've seen the "safer for humans" data posted enough to believe it, but that's the first time I've seen it posited that it's that much more efficient. It's just now really emerging as a disinfectant, and my understanding is that it's still very expensive. Assuming all the claims bear out, I'd...

Fishing line would eventually be deteriorated by the UVC - in theory. It will tend to degrade plastics over time. I like this quartz rod idea. I may order some and retrofit Little Box as a test.

Yes. 1 joule = 1 watt per second.

You'd need a lab, not a hospital. You *can* do a basic test at home - get a kit with petri dishes and agar, swab under your toilet bowl rim and contaminate two agar-lined dishes. Put one in your box, leave the other one as a control. Check them in 48h. On a separate topic, the larger...

Have to test the fluence at various points in the box once both lights are installed. I aim for 200 mJ/cn2 - which is overkill, but I like overkill where this is concerned, especially since I have seen figures all over the map. 100 mJ/cm2 seems to be the figure most often cited to take care...

My two 60w UVC lights arrived today.. So powerful my meter can't measure it! (Tops out at 20 mW/cm2). Some back of the napkin math tells me that it should work out to around 28 mW/cm2. "Big Box" gets under construction tomorrow!

Yep, neutral and ground must be bonded. Same issue when charging from a generator. And I have to point out that a small ~3500w generator would be a much better charging solution than tens of thousands of dollars worth of these panels. Interesting thought exercise to be sure, but highly...
