I know we’re all geniuses here and just being part of the fediverse is proof of that, but the average consumer that bought an incel Camino might be a slightly different demographic.
Must be nice to be able to afford a $19K Camry. I’m just happy that I could afford my 20-year-old $10K 350Z (and only because I had some life insurance money).
Oh damn. My eyes just glazed over that part because the idea of someone who clearly doesn’t know what they’re doing taking apart a charger for a car is so insane.
Between this and the burning 4090 fiasco from a couple of years ago, it seems to me that people who buy expensive things struggle to plug them in all the way for some reason.
I still think the connector on a 24 amp line shouldn’t be something you need to take apart as a consumer.
Eh, if you’re careful and know what you’re doing (e.g. Google stuff), it’s effectively screws and copper. Nothing too special about it.

Well, if they die, it’s just natural selection to me
I mean, things go wrong with gas cars too, some people fix it themselves and other people go to shops, how is this any different?
Because the people who bought these cars paid $100k (at least) for them and they drive them around as symbols of technological power and efficiency.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are traveling around in a $19k Toyota Camry that works just fine.

Yeah, I thought that would be a good generic example.
I went ten years without driving or owning a car.
Sure but, traditionally ‘nicer’ doesn’t mean ‘easier to work on’ for cars.
ICE doesn’t require a lock out/tag out.
Yeah you’re right but still shouldn’t fall on the consumer to do it for a $100K car
I don’t think that’s what this is saying. It seems to be saying it just wasn’t plugged in all the way.
Then what do you think is meant by “taken apart” and “put back together”?

No, the new 12VHPWR connector is just awfully designed, and it it isn’t only x090 series it affects
Ooo I didn’t understand that before, I thought it was not plugged in right. If I’m understanding you correctly, his fix could have been very dangerous
