  3. Although I have previously stated that the podpoint pp-e-170209-1 pcb makes some very concerning arcing noises when the relays turn on and off, I have continued to use it. It appears to be the case with every podpoint I've ever had, so whatever. My board only has two single-phase power relays, but there's enough space for four huge ones to switch three phases. These two, when connected in series, have a resistance of 78 ohms and likely draw about 150mA from the 12v rail. I just built a cmos timer for the system, and it runs on a 12v rail fed by a 7806 regulator, a couple of 1000uF capacitors, a diode, and a 47 ohm resistor for some smoothing. A handful of LEDs are driven by the circuit, which uses no more than 10mA to demonstrate its operation. It would take a significant drop in the 12v rail to upset the regulator, since it is likely to be satisfied with a 9v input. Regardless, I still get the same result as when I initially turn on my Rolec tester whenever I plug in the charging cord. As chatgpt suggested, I increased the capacitance on the podpoint board from 680uF to 1000uF, but I still don't get it. The podpoint power supply may not even have enough juice to run its own relays, I'm not sure. What do you think?

    Danger of DAW

    My electric vehicle (EV3) has only been on the market for a month, but I am already frustrated with the DAW system. The stores close before I remember to turn it off, even though I know I can. It's like a mental checklist that I have to fill out every time I enter. We have car seat sets for both of us, but because of our vast height disparity—I'm 6 feet 4 inches and my wife is 5 feet 6 inches—we need to adjust the settings for our seats accordingly. The vehicle alarm has only gone off once while the wife is driving. With the exception of nighttime driving, when there is apparently no sound whatsoever, the system begins alerting me well in advance of my departure from the driveway and keeps beeping and horning at me for the majority of the trip. Indeed, I do wear spectacles. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this or had any recommendations.
  6. I thought you said the dimensions were 3 mm ID x 8 mm x 2 mm. From what I've read, the proper dimensions should be 6mm x 16mm x 4mm, therefore this one seems on the tiny side.
  7. You won't always hear a peep of movement in the bush if the bushes are worn.
  8. Problem with alignment, caused by either the alignment itself or the geometry change caused by worn bushes.
  9. yesterday's trip was really brief. It appears that I am presented with three consumption statistics; nonetheless, it is encouraging to note that one of them has made a small inroad into the "thirties" range! These contradictory numbers continue to disappoint me, and I still don't understand why they're there. However, I've only covered 500 miles so far, so I'm hoping things will get better from here. By the way, I discovered a YouTube video that demonstrated how to eliminate those annoying speed limit "bongs"—a feature that really enhances the driving experience.
  10. After more than a week with my X Trail T33 MHEV, I have a few queries. One, I'm aware that it's a "mild hybrid" because of the little extra battery that helps the engine out. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to locate any information regarding the battery, its status, or its function among the numerous settings. 2. It's rather bothersome to see that splash screen every time I boot up.I contacted Nissan Customer Service over this matter, and a woman working in a hectic and chaotic call center in the United States (who claimed to lack technical skills) informed me that it is not removable. Very well! 3. I finally figured out how to disable the incredibly obnoxious speed warning, but it keeps resetting itself whenever I restart. Someone on this thread mentioned a "custom menu" that makes it easy to stop them; I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could provide with this matter. 4. I am astounded by the poor fuel economy it appears to be exhibiting after only 350 miles of mostly city driving. Despite my deft footing behind the wheel, I am unable to improve my dismal "twenties" consumption. My deepest wish is that it will become better:(Having stated that, I feel obligated to mention that I enjoy the car's handling and performance :))
  11. According to Honest "real mpg"—a metric that takes data from actual owners—a manual 1.4 gets 41 mpg, while an automatic gets 33 mpg. However, the roads used and each driver are unique.
