Find the text/logo/icon you want on a web site somewhere. Massage it with a Raster Graphics package (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc) to clean it up and reduce it to 2 colors (B&W) Use a Rastor to Vector conversion utility (i.e. Vextractor, InkScape, etc) to convert it to a vector image (SVG)...

My dealer just replicated it on one of the Taycans on their lot. Looks like its not just my car... Its pretty annoying/distracting. With the Center display in "Media" mode, select SiriusXM, Tune to any channel, and then hit the "play" tab (upper left) to get the large view of whatever is...

I just got my TurboS back from the slew of firmware updates which were scheduled to applied (2 days). I now note that if I select the "play" screen on the Nav system while listening to SiriusXM that the Artist/Title/Album info which is displayed flashes on/off at some "random" interval. My...

Guilty as charged I guess. But I thought these were discussions? I speak as if we were all sitting at a table with this community in real life. ...and I hope I brought something insightful, interesting, or helpful to the table on some occasion or another. Unfortunately we do not have such...

Ouch! That sound like a personal thing!

I'll add to that... I remember a news report I saw in Canada when I was a kid (1970's?). (My parent's families are both Canadian, so I apologize in advance - (pun fully intended)) The Canadian Government spent several million dollars to find out why the unemployment rate was so high. After...

I love math. I would never dissuade anyone from trying to "figure something out". So please don't misunderstand me... I also manage analysts who quite often lose sight of the forest for the trees. Not that its not an interesting endeavor, but what are we really trying to achieve? If we are...

I would submit that predicting the capacity of any battery (based on its SOC at a specific point in time), by even the most precise scientific instruments available, would only be an estimate. You might be able to measure the exact amount of energy which goes in, and the exact amount of energy...

Sure, Its just a 12V (LiFePO4) car battery. Why not? In fact, here is a portable jump start battery pack which specifically consists of a LiFePO4 battery. Is it "advisable"? How effective would it be? Those are completely different questions... I would never try this with MY car...

I see, so the question is how to calculate/confirm the TOTAL useable capacity of the battery... My mistake... I think this is going to uncover LOTS of variations in the accuracy of numbers we are given (by the car and the chargers). I wouldn't expect ANY of the numbers to be accurate enough to...

I know I must be missing something here... Can't you simply take the current % SOC (as shown in the car) and multiply it by 83.7 KW (total/max useable capacity)?

Honestly, I actually asked that of the gal giving me the walk-around when I picked up my Model-X. She stopped for a second to think about it before she gave me a friendly scowl.

(Lockdown restrictions aside) You can safely drive in a circle a million miles in diameter if you don't have to physically come in contact with anyone... My wife and I try to go out for a drive every weekend. We usually restrict our total mileage so a charging stop is not required. Even so...

I'm sure you'ld be fine. However I feel like my round brain is being squeezed through a square hole...

Take a peek at VHDL if you want to have your mind warped... I've been working my way through a book on FPGA design using VHDL since Christmas. (Its another Covid distraction...) I currently have a little Digilent BASYS3 sitting on my desk... I've been writing software since 1976 but...

Whew, that really scared me.... You guys getting a HUD was enough of a disappointment (for me - not you). I'm like a Racoon. I love shiny stuff. Especially multicolored lights. Flashing multicolored lights. (I know its not really aligned with the "true spirit of Festivus", but you should...

Hah! Really? I once told a buddy riding along with me that the raised numbers on a stick shift were to accommodate blind drivers. I had him for about 5 seconds... It was GLORIOUS!

I've basically been completely at home since mid-March. Its certainly not helping reduce my volume of forums posts... ;) I am absolutely NOT trying to make an argument against lockdowns, but Its unfortunate as "going out for a drive" can be a very safe (and isolated) thing to do. Not so...

Electric badge? Is this a MY21 thing?

Will there be cake?
