    Design question for an electrical engineer.

    Thank you for examining the circuit for me! The manufacturer did label the cables going to the battery. I was supplied with a replacement battery that had it's connection posts physically opposite of what was there originally.

    Design question for an electrical engineer.

    Bruce4000: Thank you for the good information. I'm not sure why they didn't. For some background, the generator is a Kohler 24RCL. Here is a link to the part of the owners manual that has schematics in it. I would love to know what you think after looking at it...

    Design question for an electrical engineer.

    Thank you for stating the obvious. I freely admit my lack of judgement after the fact. I wanted to go on a scientific curiosity expedition. Anyone with a productive answer?

    Design question for an electrical engineer.

    I own a permanent backup generator for my home. Recently I had to change out the 12 volt starting battery. When doing so I failed to notice that the positive and negative terminals were physically opposite from the one that was there before. As I'm sure that you can guess, this fried a lot of...

    Tesla navigation - No traffic data.

    When taking a long trip recently I noticed that the navigation screen wasn't showing me the lengthy traffic jam that I was in. Can anyone offer any ideas as to why? Before anyone asks, yes I am paying for the full data package. Google maps showed it just fine. Am I not doing something?

    Battery Damaged After Hitting Tow Hitch

    The battery pack for my 2021 MY LR was destroyed in Florida last year when I inadvertently drove over a small wild boar late at night. It took me 28 days to get the whole thing repaired and my insurance was charged $15,000 for a new pack. I just ordered a HPS Performance front guard. This sort...

    What items would you take on a long road trip?

    The other way to handle that I suppose would be to get a compact spare tire kit. Something like this: www.modernspare.com

    What items would you take on a long road trip?

    I will be taking my MYLR on a 1,500 mile (each way) road trip come the beginning of May. For those that have done long road trips, I'm wondering what items you would pack that you found to be necessary, or just ones that made the trip a lot nicer. I'm hoping that this thread will be useful to...

    What name did you give your new Model Y?

    I named my MYLR "tusker". That was after driving from Maine to Florida. When I had crossed over the Florida state line late at night a wild boar decided to see what the underside of my care looked like. My stay in Florida was not pleasant after that!

    How good is YOUR Climate Control - Temperature Consistency

    This afternoon I took a logging digital thermometer out to my MY, because I too am bothered by the lackluster quality of the HVAC system. I set the AC at 69 degrees, auto fan and left it running (without me in the car) for one hour. I then changed the temperature to 75 degrees and lit it run for...

    Model Y acceration boost vs Lambo Huracan

    On a MY LR does having the acceleration boost affect the overall range of the car? If for example you were to drive the car in the same way that you would drive a Y without the boost. Yes, I know that when you step on the "gas" that it eats up a lot of power. I'm just taking about for normal...
