It's cool to see how quickly the industry has been shifting to F Prime, cFS is great but it's run it's course. Unfortunately F Prime isn't quite as advanced as we may want (in terms of data throughput or modern features) but it is a great step forward in an industry that's often scared or unable to produce open source software.
I'm just generally impressed by their community efforts vs cFS. They really do their development on GitHub - not just a place to push out source, but issues, PR's, discussions.
FPrime has some rough edges, and it takes a bit to get used to, but the team's interest in continually improving the core for a wide range of users is the differentiator.
zeroping commented on BMW PHEV: Safety fuse replacement is extremely expensive evclinic.eu/2025/12/04/20... · Posted by u/mikelabatt
Last week, I replaced a faulty cell in my PHEV.
The most expensive tooling was the two floor jacks I purchased to make the process easier. The software needed was available from the manufacturer for a reasonable fee. The battery pack itself was surprisingly modular and simple to dismantle for repair.
I don't many things GM has done, but (at least back in 2010) they did a good job of letting owners do their own work.

Beautiful closing to the write-up.
"Never trust the autorouter. But at least this one is fast."

No graph. That's frustrating.

I run an Open mower on my 1400 square meter lawn in the USA. AMA. (ps. If you are interested make sure to go to the discord instead of just reading the docs or GitHub pages -- that is where all the activity is!)
How difficult was it to get the needed hardware in the US? It seems hard or expensive to do so.

I made these available as a dataset on GitHub some time ago: https://github.com/jwilber/USDA_Pomological_Watercolors
Very beautiful paintings.

I think this depends too much on your car and how you use it to make generalizations like "is usually overkill".
With an 11kW charger and assuming 12h in the garage, I can charge 132kWh in a day, which is far more energy than my battery can store. Thanks to this, when I park my car and decide whether to plug it in, all I need to think about is whether the car has enough charge now for my needs tomorrow. If it does, I leave it. If it doesn't, I plug it in.
With a 1.8kW charger, I'd only get 21.6kWh overnight. In my car, this is ~100km of range (~60mi) and about 30% of the battery. Now I either need to charge it every day (and add the hassle of unplugging/plugging every time I use the car) or I need to think about it more.
It's a matter of individual preference whether it's worth a few hundred dollars to avoid that friction but to me it's more than worth it for something that's part of my daily life.

I can't fathom not plugging my car in to charge when I park in my normal spot. It doesn't seem like much effort.
But my comment isn't to ridicule you - it's to point out how diverse and different our home charging experiences are, without awareness of others. I had no idea that anyone charged differently than I do.
Meanwhile, I have a motion-activated light switch in the garage. So I guess I don't want the hassle of flipping light switches, yet I plug/unplug daily.
Don't get me wrong, there are still issues here, like snow or back-to-back-to-back cloudy days. But the rate of a price change for solar has been pretty dramatic.
