So it’s been a two week summer break for the vlog, not intended just it’s been a very hectic July for me and with one thing or another fitting it in just has not happened.
The first missed vlog was mainly down to a weekend in Blackpool, the first decent length trip for the EV. 80 Miles each way should not really be a problem for a 280 mile range, but being all motorway driving which uses more power due to the speed causing additional drag it ended up dropping a 90% charge to a 51%. Added issues were it was horrendously wet, so wipers and headlights in constant use and all the standing water and spray doing nothing to help efficiency. 51% of course would be plenty to get back - but being parked for the weekend in a public car park I left Sentry Mode on - the all round camera security system that constantly monitors for anyone or thing moving around the car - and if it spots anything starts to record the activity and flashes the cars lights as a warning - if they persist it will even play sounds to deter them further. It’s an incredibly clever feature of Tesla’s, but because the computer has to constantly run and monitor the all round camera feeds - it does eat a bit of battery - so after the weekend 51% had dropped to 40% - not technically enough to get home. Strangely Blackpool seems to have very few charging spots according to the two apps I have PodPoint and Genie, and Tesla Superchargers were nowhere near and would avoid going out of my route home to reach. There was however a charge point at a petrol station on the way out of Blackpool - so I opted on that, which involved a 30 minute sit for a 15% increase to 55%. Public chargers in general vary wildly in charge speed, which at the moment does make it frustrating to have a vehicle capable of fast charging but not actually be able to use it due to a lack of capable chargers - for example a Tesla supercharger would have filled the battery easily in that time. That little boost got me back home on 14%, so it was all good. Ideally I would have plugged the car in during the stay and left it for a few hours, but it would have meant a healthy walk to it, driving to a charge point to then leave it and head off into the town - an easier option if I was there for a longer time.
The second missed vlog is the usual work constraints, the wet miserable weather is making hot drinks far more desirable -so we are actually far busier than the usual summer. With all sorts going on at work to deal with at the moment, there is never a quiet moment and with holiday season in swing as well - people are off enjoying breaks so it’s all about balancing workloads and trying to anticipate orders in advance. Basically loads of running around, organising stock deliveries and trying to keep everything going back out for orders in a timely fashion.
Over on Hive my Hive Engine Witness is now 18, I have slipped into the top twenty thanks to expiring witness votes kicking in last week. A similar system has been in place on Hive for some time, and basically if a large stake holder does not vote for any Witness over a given period of time their votes and removed and they have to replace them. The theory was to shake up the top twenty Witnesses which had remained static for years with many in top positions from votes given years ago by voters that no longer appeared active on the platform. How it all shakes out remains to be seen, because my own voters votes will expire if they re not active. - view the ranks at https://primersion.com/he-witnesses and feel free to give me a vote - although you need staked Workerbee to actually move me up the ranks. Hive Witness is rank 43 and I have updated to the latest hived 1.27.3
