  • I had two rare but not valuable cars, my first car was a 1974 Mazda rx2 sedan. Bright orange with a white interior.

    The second I restored a 1956 Dodge Truck which had a 270 V8. This combo wasn't common.

    Here are the steps to dual boot Fedora Kinoite and Windows 11: Preparation

     
            Backup Data: Ensure you have backups of all important data from your Windows system.
        Create Live USBs: Create a bootable USB drive for both Windows 11 and Fedora Kinoite using tools like Rufus or Etcher.
    
    
      

    Install Windows 11

     
            Boot from Windows USB: Insert the Windows 11 USB drive and boot from it.
        Install Windows 11: Follow the installation prompts. When prompted, create a partition for Windows, leaving some unallocated space for Fedora Kinoite.
        Complete Installation: Finish the installation and set up Windows 11.
    
    
      

    Install Fedora Kinoite

     
            Boot from Fedora USB: Insert the Fedora Kinoite USB drive and boot from it.
        Start Installation: Begin the installation process and choose the option to install alongside Windows.
        Partitioning:
            Select the unallocated space created earlier.
            Create the necessary partitions for Fedora (usually root / and swap).
        Install Fedora: Complete the installation process.
    
    
      

    Configure Boot Loader

     
            Set Default Bootloader: Fedora will install GRUB as the bootloader. It should automatically detect Windows 11 and add it to the boot menu.
        Verify Entries: After installation, reboot the system. You should see the GRUB menu with options to boot into Fedora or Windows.
        Set Default Boot Option (Optional): If you want to change the default boot option, edit the GRUB configuration.
    
    
      

    Post-Installation

     
            Update Systems: Boot into both operating systems and ensure they are fully updated.
        Install Drivers: Make sure all necessary drivers are installed for both Windows and Fedora.
        Test Dual Boot: Reboot several times and test both operating systems to ensure the dual-boot setup works seamlessly.
    
    
      

    Troubleshooting

     
            Missing GRUB Menu: If the GRUB menu doesn’t appear, you might need to repair the bootloader using a Fedora live USB.
        Windows Boot Issues: If Windows doesn’t boot, you may need to use the Windows recovery options to repair the Windows bootloader and then reinstall GRUB.
    
    
      

    Following these steps will help you set up a dual-boot system with Fedora Kinoite and Windows 11.

  • While most of the points are covered here, and it's likely true that the cost to add the panel and micro inverters is high, (I built a small two panel one battery off-grid system for about $4000 to power a chest freezer)... I have a counter point that I feel should be considered.

    While it's true that it isn't going to extend driving range by much, my thought is that it is still worth it. Take these examples:

    Drove to great wolf lodge in the summer, left car in parking lot for 3 days without charge. It lost several %.

    Left car in an airport lot for a week lost even more power.

    Drove to NorCal, left car at Airbnb driveway, had to find charging despite the car sitting in very bright sunshine for 4 days.

    Car camping

    Apartment complex parking (literally one of the main negatives about EVs)

    All of these would benefit from trickle charging, even if it was just to prevent the drain of sitting.

  • I have, and the Ioniq 5 N.... they are great.... I'm glad they exist, but not what I want.

    EDIT: My friend has a bright red Model S plaid, and it was one of the most insane things I've ever driven. But being honest with you, The Model 3 Performance was more fun. Which is how I got to this point. Give me a 2-door, rwd over powered sports car. Please and thank you.

  • Sports cars are silly. I know what I want. And it's a overpowered RWD sports car.

    EDIT to add stuff... I already have an AWD ev, and a FWD EV. The FWD is terrible, not only does the high torque overpower the low rolling resistance tires, but.... just like an F1 car is crazy over powered, I want appropriate digital nannies, fat tires and all the stuff I had with my previous sports cars and motorcycles.

  • Stuff like this is starting to make its way into automotive youtubers feeds now. I just saw one where he picked up a Model S P85D for like $10k or something crazy because it was "insurance totaled". The issue was they'd let the battery die in the lot and some idiots didn't think to charge it.
