    Using an inverter to charge a computer: recommendations? cautionary tales? effect on 12 v battery?

    Between 200-600Ws. Good to know. I've been watching this guy on youtube - Will Prowse and he does off grid solar DIY systems. I will send him a message to see if he has any solution to our PG&E issues. He mostly puts together small solar systems and tests all types of inverters while living out...

    Using an inverter to charge a computer: recommendations? cautionary tales? effect on 12 v battery?

    Excellent! Thanks for the info. Going to pick up one of those inverters and a smaller fridge as a backup in the garage. After hearing PG&E CEO say that this could be way of life for next decade, it's moved me to being prepared and reading/learning as much as I can about this topic.

    Using an inverter to charge a computer: recommendations? cautionary tales? effect on 12 v battery?

    There's been some talk about that voiding the warranty on the battery on some other threads. I don't know, seems like not a big deal. Any thoughts on that?

    Using an inverter to charge a computer: recommendations? cautionary tales? effect on 12 v battery?

    With the PG&E blackouts around Northern CA, this is no longer a joke. My friend, who worked at a solar inverter company said the best way to power your house was through the car's battery. I saw a few youtube vids calling it camper mode. Also read an article that said getting at least a 1kwh...

    Alternative tires for Long Range RWD Model 3

    Did you bring it in to the service center and did you get it fixed? It's very intermittent, maybe 1-2 out of 10 times when retracting forward does it rumble. Annoying and I'm hoping it'll be more serious so I can get it fixed before the warranty runs out.

    Alternative tires for Long Range RWD Model 3

    I've put on 19k miles in almost one year of driving. My steering wheel had a little rumble when going from my driver profile to "easy entry" mode. I brought it in to the service center and of course the problem couldn't be replicated. I'll have to wait until it consistently performs that way to...

    Window Tinting Ceramic in the Bay Area

    I'm looking to have the M3 tinted, entire care and came across Mr. Tint in Santa Clara. They quoted me $925 for Xpel Prime XR+ for four windows and rear windshield (one piece that goes until the window ends). So that leaves 2 glass panels that aren't tinted, the "sunroof" panel and the...
