I do robots now. I co-chair the committee that runs the two FRC regional events in Duluth MN. I also head a group that works to make the FRC robotics teams in NE Minnesota more sustainable and competitive. Energy policy, EVs also. Slava Ukraini!

If you are on blood thinners you won't get new clots. Bruises galore but no clots. Currently going through something similar, so my commiserations to you.

When I bought the Taycan, I thought I might miss the engine noise. I didn't, but now when I drive one of our ICE cars, I miss the quiet. From a performance standpoint, I can hear and feel the tires in a corner and the instant linear throttle response is amazing.

Barring something specifically for the task look for a "Stanley wonder bar" you might want to put something over the end of the claw, but I've used mine for similar purposes.

Of the legacy automakers Porsche is at least bringing compelling products to market. The Taycan, Macan EV, and now the Cayenne EV are all top of class products and well suited for the market they serve.

I've been saying for years that CCS is a tool used by politicians to kick the carbon emissions can down the road. There's never going to be CCS in the scale that would be needed to impact the atmospheric level. The math just doesn't work.

Key word "looks." The range is terrible, and I say that as someone who thinks most people obsess about range way too much.

It seems to me that all of these carmakers owe Pink Floyd royalty payments.
Hear the different ways EVs are reinventing the sound of a car
Carmakers have to add sounds to electric vehicles for the safety of pedestrians, but determining what noise an EV should make involves both science and art.

Of course, I'm not a dumbass so I backed up, adjusted my turn and learned my lesson. The bollard wasn't even too expensive to replace.

There are bollards and there are bollards. I've bent a bollard 20 degrees with a class 6 truck in the same scenario I cut a corner too close and while I missed the building I caught the bollard with the rear wheels. The one I bent was 4-inch 10cm and hollow that's bigger and filled with concrete.

The other predator for deer is mountain lions and Minnesota has them too. The reason there are so many deer is because of farming and logging. Both result in an increased food supply and deer breed like rats with antlers.

Not a fan of the blaze vest over camo look. There are a lot of dumbasses in the woods who shoot at any movement. Good luck and stay safe!

Wolves have come back in Minnesota we have a healthy population of them. There are still too many deer. Deer are mostly solitary and when they get close together, they're at a much greater risk of Chronic Wasting Disease. Hunting at the current levels actually improves the health of the herd.

I should add, if you want a premium charging experience in the US, find a QuikCharge location in Minnesota or Wisconsin. 400 kW chargers that each have CCS1 and J3400 connectors which are next to a KwikTrip which has very clean bathrooms (by Upper Midwest standards) and fresh baked goods.
