Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints
From the article: "About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters. The automaker last year became so inundated with driving-range complaints that it created a special team to cancel owners’ service appointments."

Comments122Optimizing wireguard setup
I installed a wireguard server on the cloud and it seems to be working ok. That being said, there is still a bandwidth and ping gap between vpn and no-vpn uses. Can you recommend any guides on figuring out where the bottlenecks might be? For example, my client router had a crappy CPU and was causing 50% degradation on the bandwidth. Maybe there are more problems like that.
Which port to run Wireguard on
By default most people run Wireguard on port 51822. This of course shows that you are running a VPN. Is it better to run on another port, for example 443? But I heard that some ISPs frown on that.
What do the folks here think?
Monitoring battery current in Android
I'm having a lot of problems with my charging. Sometimes I connect the charging cable, the "charging" light turns on, but the device doesn't charge (or charges extremely slowly, such as 1-2% overnight). Just disconnecting the cable and reconnecting fixes the issue. I think the charge socket is getting loose.
Are there apps where I can monitor the battery current? This would allow me to see when I have issues (also to do quality check on the various cables I have). Something onn F-Droid would be preferred.
Tangram for Android
I've been happily using Tangram in my Linux laptop: https://github.com/sonnyp/Tangram
Tangram is basically a "browser" that turns web pages into apps. It works very well with websites where I want to stay logged in for long periods of time (like lemmy or mastodon).
Does anyone know and can recommend a similar capability in Android? I would prefer something in FDroid when possible.
