It depends, for parts the only place to reliably find name brand is on eBay. Parts on amazon is mainly just a domestic arm of of Aliexpress and Alibaba.

What if you're l3 certified through ASE to work on all those components? Why can't those people buy any of those parts without working for Tesla? Its not limited to high voltage components, Tesla won't sell you a simple fende

Get rid of the take home work and and presentation. If you want senior or staff engineers their resume and a series of human conversations with whoever the stakeholders are should tell everybody everything they need to know. Your process se

Aren't ebikes just electric mopeds with less comfortable seats? I always heard moped was just a term coined by a journalist trying to describe a bike that had both a motor and pedals.

While I do think the new kia logo is an improvement over the old one. Every time I see it I think its the Nine Inch Nails logo. I've never said it out loud but my wife mentioned the same thing to me one day.

I always figured the best way to take your filthy crypto lucre to an fiat is through NFTs. Mint something stupid and sell it to your banned wallet for a ridiculous price. If you just send it from one wallet to another there is no plausible

They only need a power source to stay powered to give up their location. Most of them don't splice in nicely using the OBD ports.

Depends on the place, most that I've ever dealt with were spliced into the harness. You got off lucky if they went the extra mile and used the less intrusive option. Those aren't as common.

The car dealerships put these things on cars in the event that you finance through them. They are able to make you pay for the device they use to track down vehicles they want to repo. Since they splice into the harness and it takes time to

I've never gotten the image out of my head every time I see the AN-225 that its missing its Russian space shuttle on its back. Also strange that Soviet Russia built it only for Russian Federation to destroy it. But after Ukraine saved

The almost exclusive reason I never bought a DSLR is because nobody ever saw the reason to add a GPS chip to encode exif data into the pictures being taken. Sure, you could sometimes buy another device and plug it into your already large de

I've wondered how much of that is really just laundering crypto? Lets say you had a successful ransomware attack and got millions of dollars worth of BTC. How do you transfer that to a wallet you can use to cash out? I've always f

On a similar note: I've owned a 2007 Acura and lived in a state that doesn't observe DST. I'd have to to remember to turn DST on or off whenever I drove out of state. Same problem on my father's 2016 Honda as well. On th

It would have been far easier to just walk the 20 miles (maybe half a day... being generous) back to the nearest civilized area. Especially since the area around there runs an average high of 82F during its hottest months. And we aren'

True, those sites are great but they aren't official. I think most of them come from 1 or 2 companies (Southern CA and FL IIRC) under a bunch of domains skinned a bunch of different ways. I used to work for a nissan performance parts p

As a bit of a recent convert to US makes from Japanese makes I think this should be clarified. US makes (big 3, not Tesla) are just fine selling you parts. Not only are they fine with it they aren't marked up as insanely high as I reme

They didn't cheap out on lights. They didn't want to add a light to the cockpit because changing anything meant pilots would have to be trained on it. Airlines, specifically American, didn't want to incur the cost of training

One example I can remember from 10+ years ago was newegg. I don't recall ever really feeling like I got "duped" based on the many online reviews there. I think that sentiment was pretty well revered and not just my personal o

Tesla is 100% image based autopilot or something? I have 2 vehicles with radar and I have no doubt both of them would have attempted to stop for this.

It will be interesting to see how the paint for this holds up. One thing you'll notice is as companies try to switch from oil to water based paints the bases just don't last. There is also this trend to find ways to put less coats

My wife cares very little about cars but was pointed these tail lights out to me just yesterday. She said something like "those are stupid, why would somebody buy tail lights like that?" thinking they were aftermarket.
