I am not disagreeing with you - I believe that you should be able to use something you bought however you wish - but I think it is worth noting that the lower you allow depth of discharge, the more cycles you can squeeze out of a pack. So i

Oh, and on the spending front, I have learnt that there is very little incremental benefit from ‘good enough’ to ‘the best’. For any purchase, work out what good enough looks like and target that. The best will almost always contain some fr

400 miles is 640km, which, at 5km/kw (Vanagon) gives you 128kwh. 2 weeks is 14 days, in a sunny climate you can reckon on 5 solid solar hours so 70 charging hours. 128kwh / 70 charging hours is 1.82 kw. You can probably fit a 480w

This is genius. Anecdotally I’ve seen a high correlation between procrastination and perfectionism. Once you have a vomit draft I can see how the perfectionist bent suddenly works in your favour.

I may be misunderstanding, but I read your comment as implying that chatGPT has eliminated these differentiators. If that’s the case, why?
