  • There is competition here, though. It’s not like it’s a single insurance company monopoly. You can usually get a better deal by shopping around.

    It’s kind of funny you mention this. I just sat down and went through every insurance company I could find (over 15 of them) that are still writing policies here in CA because Geico decided to jack my rates over 20% this renewal. Literally every one of them were within $5 every 6 months of the price Geico is charging me for the renewal.

    Tell me again how I’m supposed to “get a better deal by shopping around”?






  • Just to clarify something… they say it “resets the switch” but some people may not realize in Cisco parlance, that means factory reset, as in wipe it completely and start with a fresh config. It was WAAAY worse than just rebooting it.

    When Express Setup is inadvertently invoked by the protective boot of the cable, these messages are seen in the syslog:

    %SYS-7-NV_BLOCK_INIT: Initialized the geometry of nvram

    %EXPRESS_SETUP-6-CONFIG_IS_RESET: The configuration is reset and the system will now reboot

    %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by NGWC led process. Reload Reason: Reload command.

    %STACKMGR-1-RELOAD_REQUEST: 1 stack-mgr: Received reload request for all switches, reason Reload command

    %STACKMGR-1-RELOAD: 1 stack-mgr: Reloading due to reason Reload command.

    After this occurs, the device resets. The startup configuration is erased once the device enters Express Setup.



  • 30-60 minute stops

    I literally just drove 2,077.37 miles from Central CA to Chicago over the last 3 days for another one of those trips, and the longest stop out of any of them according to TeslaFi was 26 minutes and that was only once, for a really long stretch in Wyoming that doesn’t have any chargers on it yet. Every other one was under 20 minutes, with most of them being around 10-15. The entire trip took 23 supercharging stops and added 4 hours and 23 minutes to the overall trip. That was with me running balls-out with autopilot set to 85 for as much of the trip as I could possibly do (e.g. slowing down for construction, etc), so my efficiency was only 65.66% which is pretty bad for my car.

    I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re absolutely doing it wrong if you’re spending 30 to 60 minutes to charge every time.



  • Don’t get an EV if you take cross country road trips 5x a year.

    I’m an EV owner that takes at least that many 5000+ mile road trips a year with very very little issues. I’ve never once been stranded due to charging problems. I also however used my brain and bought the right car for the job, and right now that is a Tesla. Hopefully in a couple years once NACS becomes more mainstream I can move to another option.
