What size of car are you looking at?
Chevy Bolt has a 60kWh and will go over 200km in the winter and closer to 400km in the summer.
Lots of them around 15k CAD. Price has been creepying up in the last few weeks. I need to grab one myself.
This is what I found.
With Nebula and CuriosityStream, most of the things I follow are still on YouTube.
I purchased a K1 Max directly from Creality in October 2024.
This was well after the K1 Max had recieved the K1C upgrades. People had been getting K1 Max units with the small X/Y pulleys and upgrade hot end for MONTHS.
I bought it directly from Creality expecting to get a current revision.
I received a rev1 unit. It had signs of use. I asked Creality to replace it with the current revision and they decline.
It never really printed right. Using their filament and their slicer about 40% of the prints would fail. They kept dragging me along for weeks. I assume this was to push me out of the return window.
They literally never one entertained my suggestion of returning.
Until I call my credit card company. VISA said to box it up, email them one last time demanding a return label for a full refund, and if they did not give me one, VISA would do a charge back.
Whilst boxing it up I noticed another shipping label from before the K1C was released.
So they had absolutely sold me a unit that was not brand new.
Now I have a Sovol SV08 and if I was looking for a new printer I would be looking at the Snapmaker U1
All two dongles I have used (Google, Apple) have a DAC.
I’m pretty sure the analog ones are the exception, not the rule.
I’ve honestly had a lot of luck booting a Windows SSD on different computers.
Tailscale is Canadian
So return it if you bought a TV like that.
Buy these things with a credit card. If the store refuses a return or demands a restocking fee, credit card dispute. Visa doesn’t fuck around with this stuff.
I have had a SV08 for a few weeks. Had a K1 Max for the same time period. I had 2 or two failed prints on the SV08 and about 3 dozen failed prints.
I returned the K1 Max (with huge struggles with support)
Previously I had a Labist ET4 that only worked for a out 5 prints total before giving up on it.
I will agree with your statement. If you are willing to put in a bit of research on YouTube and GITHUB and swap a few parts and spend a few hours you’ll have a hilarious large printer that just spits out almost anything you throw at it, besides ABS and ASA… For now…
Almost all Bolts should have newish batteries or a stupid long warranty on the battery.
Degradation is not really a thing on thermally managed batteries, IE only as issue on the Nissan Leaf and the eGolf to lesser extend.
Lots of Bolts in Quebec if you are willing to have one shipped. ($1000-2000).
I really regret not getting one a year or two ago when their value was sort of tanked.
