yahoo has a story. Canada is removing 5 bills from legal tender status, the $1, $2, $25, $500 and $1000 dollar bill. if you have them turn them in before its too late and theyre worthless. the 1,2,25 bills are more of a collector item but the person with the 500 and 1000 bill will probably get put ...

Thanks for Sharing Bas. This will be a huge step forward for many.

I would not use a Kelly controller for this. Their powerstages are designed like crap and very prone to failing because the MOSFETs don't share current well.

Guys be careful with this. I read the last 2 posts and have a couple comments. 1 Most EV fuses are slow blow so take that into consideration 2 You should use a smart fuse (Tesla Pyro fuse) 3 The instant regen if you fault the controller is brief and you will be surprised how its a non issue. You can...

QE to infinity was the golden jackasses saying, Arlo1/Nanaimo, don't tell anyone but theres gold in French creek. I heard the island is full of witches and warlocks or is that more like Victoria area

I am as well... But there is still hope yet

Tesla unsuccessfully sued British television show Top Gear for its 2008 review of the Tesla Roadster (2008) in which Jeremy Clarkson could be seen driving one around the Top Gear test track, complaining about a range of only 55 mi (89 km), before showing workers pushing it into the garage, supposed...

Thats just a Musk opinion comment.
He tried to argue that in court, and lost..TWICE !

Sorry man but this never actually went to court.

Its very clear not you are the one spreading bile

Having said that, this still sounds a lot like the wingeing “Sore Loser” syndrome. :roll: Odd that none of the reputable motoring mags have not published a report on this pairing ?. But thats just the thing the Model S will beat the Porsche hands down in the 1/4. But it didnt ?.. ( 2 separate indep...

Yeah!!! We are extremely proud to announce that PD-Axiom won the "Best Production" award in 2019 Hackaday Prize!! 🥳🥳🥳 This means that judges think our product is the best preapared for manufacture of the whole 500 projects that entered the competition. That is a huge accomplishment, and we believe i...

Drag race was confirmed to be FAKE! There is even a screen shot of where the Model S screen shows "Range Mode"
and Top gear admitted to using numbers from a Model S that was 2 years old!

Arlo, Awesome build, watched alot of your YouTube videos today. I had a question about your inverters and saw you prefer PMs on this forum, but I think I'm "too new" and it won't let me send PMs. Love the CRX build! It will let you Send PM's But if its related to this EV build at all you should ask...

I think the Model 3 is a lot more fussy about charge adaptors than the S and X. Guy here in Perth has been struggling with his 3 on the Circontrol Trio chargers. About 50% success. Got a bit of a story today from a local with a 2015 leaf. IN 2014/2015 he said someone from Japan came and put all the...

Its really good to see Porsche actually competing with the model S This really is not a competition between the 2 but the 2 against all ICE vehicles! My wife I are on Maui right now. We Toro'ed a model 3 base model. This car is dope! I didn't think I would be so impressed with the base model. It mig...

Hi Bas, Thanks for releasing this, very interesting read. I thought you wanted to sell this IP, What made you change your mind? I've never really been sure about the legal situation of selling this technology. Because I don't know the motor control literature I cannot be sure the basic idea is not ...

I watched one of Arlin's videos on the Axiom he's using in his Honda and he suggests there might be Torque Vectoring possible/coming? I assume Traction Control is already possible through VESC software anyway, but are there plans for Torque Vectoring to be available or is Arlin developing this just...

These cars are great for local/commuting duty... there are MANY in my area... but road trips? Not so much. I just got back from a vacation to Maine and we stopped at some service plazas along the way. Some had Supercharger installations... that were always occupied, with other cars waiting. I can't...

I'm sure there's a way to spin this in a negative light... just wait

Its funny if you google it... That's exactly what the main stream media is trying to do....

New record again this 1/4...... Yup they are sure getting close to bankruptcy.... you know while they sell more then they ever have and their backlog of orders is getting bigger and bigger... The other car manufactures are down 10-20% in sales..... Hmm Yup Tesla is going down for sure.. bahahahahaha...

Why build this boost converter and not just use field weakening ?

Arber, you want to measure after the boost converter, so at the power stages.

Yup boost converter = fail. This is only added losses!

Just because someone else did it doesn't meen its the right way to achieve a goal.

Amber this needs to be isolated! That's why I posted the circuit! Depends on how far reaching you want your power stage blowup to be :wink: Arber, i dont really understand the distinction beween the 400 and 650, but the controller ic needs to see the power stage supply voltage. And if you want your...

Amber this needs to be isolated!

That's why I posted the circuit!

Yeah I used a 100:1 voltage divider to bring it down to 0-5v 5v = 500v Then a isolation chip this one with a op amp and brought it back up to 0-5Vdc isolated on the output. https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/AV02-3563EN I have 2 verions. This one I used to run dual sign/co-sign size 6 controllers for a ...

Only way for an OFFICIAL time is for Nuremberg to put on an event and the cars to come as OEMs otherwise Nuremberg considers it unofficial ......... Yes, but that means you wont see an official time for Tesla for a long while as it is not a production car. Personally, i am more interested in. Disco...
