Just drove 124km at 73 km/h avg speed (only a short segment on the Autobahn), used 13.5 kWh/100km or ~1.5L/100km (235mpg). The efficiency of EVs is remarkable. Oh and 69%(nice) charge left off the 99% charge at start. 🖖

alexkli,

@janl it‘s so great. our iX is comparatively bad at 22 kWh/100km or ~2.5L/100km on average on longer trips at maybe 130 km/h max (US). but that‘s a large car and on fully packed trips… and it still beats most gas cars in acceleration 💨. it’s such a no brainer imo.

alexkli,

@janl iX 50 not i4. Range is around 300 miles plus/minus for large ~110 kWh battery, which is awesome. Wonderful car overall. i4 is great too (just been a passenger though).

alexkli,

@janl another part - that nobody ever talks about it seems - is that fuel cost should be only ~50% of gas (for same mileage and car type). at least here in the US with cheap gas. idk exact number since we don’t pay anything right now as we got 2 year free charging with Electrify America (VW) with the car, which is nice too. just needs more affordable BEVs now.

The AI pin looks bad. Good luck with that whole concept.

alexkli,

@janl do they have any form of authentication or can I just ask the pin about the user‘s personal information after I stole it?

Networking nerds: I’m in the market for a UniFi router. I think within the next two years, I would like to upgrade to a Dream Machine (DM) type thing. But right now, all I really need is a Dream Router (DR) at ~1/2 the price.

Should I…

…and why?

alexkli,

@janl you have no idea what this post triggered… I had no idea about UniFi before your poll, and now I am rediscovering my place’s ethernet wiring and am close to becoming a certified network engineer 😄 🤘

Did you make a decision yet? Personally leaning towards a UDM-SE due to built-in PoE and I want to be able to switch out APs with new WiFis becoming available. But that future Ultra gateway might be more compact, I don’t need a rack. If it gets released anytime soon…

alexkli,

@janl nice!

I’m taking an EV across the country. I won the rental car lottery and got a Mercedes EQS 450+.

It’ll be a 1200 round trip. AMA.

alexkli,

@janl @343max nice!

The best thing that happened to star wars in the last 20 years has its own show now and it starts out perfect.

I’m even reluctantly giving the four-dot-ellipsis a pass. Begrudgingly.

alexkli,

@janl @revin what would you tell someone who can’t get accustomed to the idea of animated star wars shows. Never watched them. It just makes it two completely universes for my brain. Can I still get into Ahsoka without that prep work?

alexkli,

@janl @revin Thanks, that‘s helpful. Missing story arc for Anakin is indeed an issue I have with the prequels. Now I still got to convince my significant other who likes Mandalorian but not most other shows (Andor for example too „nerdy“ if you will). When you say Clone Wars - there are 2 shows and a film - should I watch all or just some?

alexkli,

@janl @revin 👍🙏

First day of summer vacation. Taking an EV on a 640km trip into another country.

alexkli,

@janl combustion cars are aweful, right? They are loud, stink, you have to go to gas stations and fill them up with a toxic liquid that kids aren’t supposed to inhale; they need gearboxes that makes the acceleration jerky; maintenance is complicated with all that complex and hot machinery; gas is so expensive… how could people ever think this is great technology?
