I can't speak directly for these aftermarket infotainment replacements but implementations of aftermarket ECUs for example record CAN bus traffic to build a database of the various node IDs, messages, and values.

What nonsense are you talking about? This sort of stuff happens in construction all the time. If the wrong materials get delivered to you site they absolutely can and will come take what you didn't pay for and bring you the correct ma

Uhh no that's not at all correct. The taxes are paid to whatever jurisdiction you register your car. If you live in Texas and you buy a car in Wyoming the Taxes get paid to you local tax accessor. It doesn't matter if you buy it f

What kind of insane argument is that? If you order a Toyota Camry and the transporter drops off a Ferrari at your door screaming WELL IT SAYS FERRARI ON RIGHT THERE ON THE CAR isn't in any way a valid argument. They're just going

If you read the story or the comments the car had a 60kwh battery replaced under warranty but only a 90kwh was available. Procedure was to set the battery firmware to 60 kwh but for whatever reason that didn't happen. The car was then

In many states car dealers are either the single largest or one of the largest groups that donates to state and local politicians. They use those markups to make massive donations to politicians ensuring there are middle men laws on the boo

I think they should be able to mark stuff up all they want. They just shouldn't be able to have laws enabling their status as forced middle men. If a consumer wants to pay extra through a dealership because they value something they pr

Something being "supported by market conditions" is not a valid test for reasonableness. During disasters for example, all manner of unethical practices can be "supported by market conditions". Yet we enact laws against

That would be a silly way to approach it. You would be paying $40k+ per month in just demand charges some places. A much better idea is to have battery packs you can charge at constant slower rates and feed the charging station at higher bu

Not really for cars at least. That's right up there with NCA and NMC chemistries and those seem to do just fine for 200k miles. LFP can do 3000+ cycles with the trade offs being lower energy and power density. Which is why it's us

Scrum master here (amongst other things). Just want to point out that nothing mentioned in your comment is "Scrum". Though they can certainly be characteristics of terrible attempts at implementations of scrum and other methodolog

Definitely a neat fix for something that worked for 150+ years and only needed to be checked a couple times a week. Now that it has to be manually checked at least once a day though ... I don't know. Seems like a lot of trouble for som
