Yes they are, but they are specifically not what you want or need when going camping. These only work when plugged into an active grid connection, to offset your power bill at home on sunny days.
For camping, you want a battery box that solar panels will plug in to. Often sold as "solar generator" from brands like Bluetti and Jackery.
Strangely enough, both James and Diego are linguistic descendants of Jacob. Each has its own tortured history of pronunciation changes over the last 2 or 3 millennia.
My 11-year old Nissan Leaf, with the oldest and worst battery technology in modern EVs, is now at 80% battery capacity.
Replacement battery is $6k, installed.
But 80% is enough for me so I won't need to replace it for a long time. This car will easily last 20 or 30 years.
"But I can't afford to spend even $5k to replace the battery when it happens!!!!!". Baloney. What I can't afford is paying 4 times the cost per mile for gasoline, FOREVER.
Set up an monthly automatic transfer in your checking account to a savings account, for the amount you would have spent on gasoline. Call it your battery replacement fund. It will be plenty in no time.
Yeah, this has been a known thing in the credit world for years-- they call it bust out fraud. These days they have computer statistical models watching for stuff like this, and will likely shut you down before you get to your limit.
It took me about 15 minutes or so to remove the SIM chip from the telematics unit in my 2015 Nissan Leaf. Just followed a youtube video that showed everything step-by-step.
Dude I was putting industrial control systems behind firewalls 25 years ago, for exactly this very scenario. Which had not happened yet, but even then it was completely obvious to every network engineer that this would happen eventually.
Remotely accessible? Of course. Directly on the public internet with default credentials? Idiots.
@curbstickle@anarchist.nexus This is a very reasonable approach. Many people don't appreciate the effort involved to be a moderator, so let me just say thank you for your work here!
I would expect the job wasn't just "we'll pay you drive around non-stop for 9 hours/day". I bet it was probably more like "use this car for your commute and stuff, but be sure to have it up to 6km in X weeks" or something like that.
It would probably take a long time to run up 6k on a dyno, completely occupying that dyno for just one car. Doubt that would have been worth the cost of one (or multiple) dynos.
So, if we have the choice of something 90% open and 10% closed, versus 100% closed, you're saying the first option is invalid to even desire, because it isn't 100% open.
That's a petty troll response to a legitimate statement of what someone wants (which aligns with this group's stated focus), where they aren't claiming what they have done
Yes it is. Good choice.

In English, it is Saint James.

Yacob = Jacobus = Jacomus = James
Yacob = Iago = Diego
Leafspy confirms my numbers, so it's "luck". In my case, luck means living in a cooler climate area and no DC fast charging.
My 11-year-old old school Leaf is still at 80% capacity and holding.

Uh, they already did, and have been doing so for about 2 years now.

When a coworker asks me what LLM stands for, I tell them "Literature Larceny Machine"
Haha, I'm still trying to decide if the upvotes and downvotes here are going after the sarcasm or the dumb literal take. Snort
Huh?

Wow. Just, wow.

Sure, you're still using fossil fuels in that case-- for a few hours or maybe a few days a year, not every single day forever.
I can't answer for OP here, but the explanation I often see on Lemmy is "poisoning/messing with the AI web crawlers"
