Most of the country does not use non-utility installed, external surge protectors, guessing due to inside locations of service equipment. They are usually connected. Some utility installed surge protectors come off the meter lugs. Rare otherwise. Not making a joke, but I wonder how anything...

Failed P and C happened to me for the first time after 8 months: I had to open the Lucid app, the EA button was illuminated, I hit it and it took me to a screen where I picked what pedestal I was at. Charged perfectly.

I disagree. I made the same mistake. Was told, you need to actually book an Annual Maintenance. I Took mine in for wipers recall and two service campaigns. They did not do the annual. Told me to wait two or three more months.

Five months since the in-service date? Or 5 months of your ownership? Yes, call or email Lucid service and see what they say. You need to reach out to them. I just did mine, 14 months and 9000. The first annual, from what they said, is not super critical to a certain time or mileage. I...

I sent the email one night, after reading this. The next morning I had a reply from Lucid,saying I was enrolled. Was going to then request / ask about Android Auto, but didn't want to push my luck. 🙄

Following up @DeaneG advice, you should have both types: whole house for when a kid plows his Miata into a substation, and a quality surge strip for computers, TVs. An LG engineer recommended a $15 one device surge for any new fancy fridge. One thing to note, whole house devices are...

I think the Denver code requires the lights are visible from the outside of the panel. See photo. Go big or go home.😁

Yep, simply look for the lights. The Siemens ones I use have a buzzer and light, and are wired to a dedicated breaker. Think of the surge device giving it's life versus your fancy appliance or fridge. I have "lost" two $180 Siemens devices. Both from idiot street racers hitting poles or a...

OMG, @Electrified , I love the article on receptacle grades. 2005, well before EVs. The two edged sword of HD Lowes and Amazon. Any numpty (English term) can easily buy parts that if improperly installed, can burn down their home or kill them. Those same numpties leave bad reviews on Amazon...

Judging by your comments, I think you may be over your head on this. If you uncle is "a licensed journeyman" electrician LET HIM PICK AND GET THE CONDUCTORS. It's his license on the line. Have him size and get it and buy him a case of wine and dinner. Call him before buying A THING...

One last point from Brother @DeaneG. I also generally agree against the use of receptacles for continuous use high amperage applications, I.e. EV charging, but if you are going to do it,be damn sure you are doing it spot on: proper size copper conductors, proper size HD wall box, newish...

Run away, do not walk. Listen to my brother from a different mother. It's a no-name Chinese copy of the Hubbell and not even a direct copy. Notice the receptacle diameter is 2.15 inches on this Chinesium while the truly industrial plugs are 2.45. So, Wang Chung is taking the same molds as...

Don't be confused. The person that told you that was dead wrong. I use the term dead on purpose. You do not f--k around with high performance tires, especially on damn heavy and damn fast cars. Staggered tires are not Rotated. Ever. A downside using staggered for sure. In addition,Virtually...

Sitting here in an 18" snowstorm, thought I would share the following link. You can do your own US Trademark Office search for free. There are 2000 live tm's for Gravity. And 2000 dead ones Automobiles are USPTO class 12. You have no idea how hard it is to get accurate results upon which...

A bent rim so bad to cause vibration will do it consistently. I have seen many bent rims that gave absolutely no vibration. But are still dangerous due to inconsistent bead to rim contact. You can tell by looking and feeling the rim with your hand, inside and out. If the bend is so minor you...

I would suggest spending some time looking at Tire Rack for com site even if not buying there. Great reviews from Pros and users. Super tests. Plus, it will show if the tire is approved/rated for use on our heavy cars. Many of the great Conti and Michelin all weather performance tires for ICE...

Makes the use of DT for the entire tire purchase transaction all that more attractive.

Nope, The names still sound the same. It's not like a corporate name, where one letter difference is enough.

Very well said. A rose by any other name... Someone buying a RS6 or M8 will debage it anyway.

You are far too nice. It's not so much expertise as just doing it a long time. Very. You see how the system works. some affirmative defenses are bullet proof, like res judicata and standing. Law based. It's the equitable type defenses that I find courts loathe to use; Laches. How long is...
