If you ask an AI which EV charger to buy, it will list them by “charging speed.” This is useless advice. Almost every Level 2 charger on the market can max out your home’s 50-amp circuit. Speed is not the differentiator—safety and physics are. After analyzing thousands of comments on r/evcharging and r/TeslaModelY, we found
It starts subtly. You set your chair height in the morning, and by lunch, your knees are higher than your hips. You pull the lever, it pops back up, and you think you’re crazy. You aren’t crazy. Your gas cylinder is dying. The pneumatic cylinder (the metal pole connecting the wheels to the seat) is
⚠️ WARNING: STOP! Do not press the “Recondition” button on an AGM battery unless your manual explicitly says it is safe. Standard reconditioning modes use high voltage (16V+) which will boil the electrolyte, vent the gas, and permanently ruin a sealed AGM battery in hours. The “Silent Killer” You bought a premium AGM battery for
Quick Decision: Which One? Choose SiO2 (Standard Ceramic) If: You have a “Garage Queen.” You want the deepest, candy-like gloss possible and the car rarely sees rain. Choose Graphene (rGO) If: You have a “Daily Driver.” Your car sits outside 24/7. You need protection against water spots and high surface temperatures. You have seen the
You spent two hours on a perfect two-bucket wash. You used the expensive pH-neutral soap. You even used a grit guard. The car looked like liquid glass while it was wet. Then, you dried it. And when you pulled it into the sun, you saw them. Thousands of tiny, circular scratches reflecting the light like
The Calibration Formula T = W × D Torque (ft-lbs) = Weight (lbs) × Distance (feet) The “Lying” Wrench A torque wrench that is “close enough” is dangerous. If your wrench is reading 100 ft-lbs but only clicking at 85 ft-lbs, you aren’t just undertightening a bolt; you are risking a warped cylinder head or
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: FORBIDDEN FLUIDS STOP. Before you pour anything into your jack, read this. NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID: It contains alcohol that dissolves rubber O-rings. If you put brake fluid in your jack, the seals will swell and melt within 24 hours. The jack is then trash. NEVER USE MOTOR OIL: It contains detergents

The Engineer’s Summary The Myth: “4K is always better.” False. Tiny 4K pixels create noise in the dark. The Old Tech (STARVIS 1): Great for stationary objects, but blurs license plates at high speeds due to “sequential” HDR. The New Tech (STARVIS 2): Uses “Clear HDR” (simultaneous exposure) to freeze motion. It captures plates where
Key Takeaways (The TL;DR) Parking Mode is a trade-off: You are trading a small amount of battery life for vehicle security. There is no such thing as “zero drain.” The 11.6V Trap: Never set your cut-off to 11.6V or 11.8V. This is “deep discharge” territory and will kill a standard lead-acid battery in months. The
