IOG has always worked like this. The schedule is fluid depending on demand, that's the point of it isn't it. If you want things to track the schedule then you will have to automate it. I have Octopus integrated into Home Assistant and it shows if you are on cheap rate or not minute by minute...

Doh!

Couldn't you just disconnect the vent motors?

I concur entirely. The point of taxis made for the job is maximising space inside (lots of headroom, seats for up to 5) and minimising the exterior dimensions, and giving them tight turning circles. Tesla seem to have do the opposite to all that. Might be ok for the wide boulevards of LA (where...

Those aren't OTG devices though? Though I guess you could with an OTG adapter.

People have been tweaking the software in cars ever since they went programable (even before by swapping out OEM ECUs for programable third-party devices). My Golf R was extensively modified from factory, everything from cruise control, how the lights worked (you could control individual LEDs...

The car will stop charging at whatever it is set to. The Ohme cannot override that.

But you'd think if it were dumping that energy as heat there would be a lot of it at speed. And to generate heat it would have to put a resistance across the motor - and that would slow it down, just like regen? I'll have to research this one I think!

I've coasted in neutral for miles at a time, and it appears to totally freewheel, no regeneration and no resistance I can can notice. The car speeds up as the slope increases. This is at motorway speeds. I'm just interested in what is happening to all this harmful back EMF when I've done that.

What happens if you throw the car into neutral whilst in motion? Isn't that a similar situation? No energy goes back into the battery, what happens to the back EMF then? And if it is harmful, why do the control systems let you do it?

Maybe, but they dim the DLRs when working as side lights/parking lights - so they have two modes of operation. It's just a cost saving to use the same lamps for two functions.

But the conversation is about DLR lights, you are quoting a requirement for parking lights or side lights which is irrelevant to DLRs whilst the car is "on" but parked.

We've talked about the landline and decided that the only calls we get on it are nuisance calls so it will be no loss. And yes, ideally I need a fixed IP as I host various servers at home that are publicly available.

I was thinking of switching to BRSK for my broadband. I'm not a heavy user, the most is probably UHD streaming to the TV so the 150 sounds like it will be fine to me - double my current FTC connection, and symmetrical. The only downside I can see is they charge £5 a month for a fixed IP which...

Without a key the rear wheels are mechanically locked in the gearbox. They would have to either lift the rear or put the rear on a dolly.

Not seen that before, but have you tried rebooting it? Hold down the home button.

Maybe it's cheaper to shut down renewables than prop up the fossil industry. Decoupling would be good for consumers though.

Use Google maps. It's easy to report errors, or even in some cases fix them yourself (it depends how "major" the edited feature is deemed). The changes are usually implemented fairly quickly. I regularly get out of date speed limits changed, they had the routing through our local motorway...

It wasn't ideal conditions on the motorway (too busy with traffic and not enough time to do this accurately) but I measured around 41Hz at 65mph and 47Hz at 70mph. That would roughly correspond with the frequencies measured on an xpower I saw in a post in another thread?

Checked the tyres and they are nice and smooth. I'll take it out tomorrow and measure the hum frequency. Let's see if it is anywhere near the xpower hum...
