I have many friends and family who have restored cars for decades, and I know they wouldn't even attempt to paint the plastic. I'm still debating whether or not to get mine wrapped, part of me really enjoys the minimalism, and part of me also really wants color (3 of my last 4 vehicles were a...

Printables is the best. Please don’t use makerworld for anything, Bambu is the dark side. And yeah side note, lan only mode was very easy to set up and use with the x1c and p1s and orcaslicer works fine, so I don’t have to touch a Bambu website ever again. Keep things offline, just like my...

OBD won't give us a way to expand features, if we're lucky we will just get some read-only data out/reset some logs/error codes. The only connectivity to the car the app will have is through the usb plug to the right of the steering wheel. It seems really likely to me they haven't worked out...

I hope it's simply 1

I hate truck bed mounted toolboxes. They just end up collecting junk in my experience, and rust, and rattle, and they take up space right where you most often need it. And I'm a short dude so it's a pain to reach into. I'll be finding whatever bucket & lid fits vertically in the frunk, and...

Do we know if it will have an OBDII port? At the minimum, I'd like to see the state of charge from my Home Assistant. If I have to make an OBDII-ESP32 gateway for some basic data reads, I will. Some data will be available somewhere. Edit...

RAAAAHH! ITS HAPPENING! 27 Days till preorder!

According to google, ALL of my previous vehicles were slower at 0-60mph. I've never felt the need for anything faster in my 20 years of daily driving 30+ miles as well as cross country road trips. Maybe I just haven't had a midlife crisis yet.
