also on the supercharger note - you can get blacklisted from using them if you charge on them all the time. that's because the supercharger bypasses the charging regulator boards and dumps directly into the pack at 300A/450v which creates a ton of wear on the battery. want to keep your range high? don't supercharge often.

not much of a mechanical guy, can't speak to that stuff. my comments are restricted to firmware and my experience driving dev cars. I don't actually own one so I can't really comment on long term ownership or repair issues. besides, you can verify much of what I say by dumping the firmware for yourself.

I do care a great deal about privacy and any connected car's ongoing connectivity should be heavily scrutinized - what assurances do I have they aren't Facebook stalking me?

"Huh, most places the 365 beejs per annum look good on paper but they contract them out to the lowest bidder (as long as their STI panel stays up to date). How are they doing, on a scale from 0 to 'extremely DSL'?"

I talked to a guy yesterday who complained about hiring “labor workers” who get paid $15/hr to do manual labor (warehouse), “don’t show up to work consistently”, etc — basically bitching about the millions of hourly labor workers. he had only ever worked “professional” jobs he said.

i hope the bay gets eaten by the sun

So, I found this thread thanks to twitter, and I know this is an older post of yours, but as an EE, this scares the ever living gently caress out of me.

Please tell me they had some sort of protection that kept the superchargers from activating accidentally, like say if some kid touched the prongs.
