Can the Ego Nexus Power Station charge a Tesla?
A completely unnecessary test to find out if a Tesla is capable to charging off of an Ego Nexus Power Station. This video also dives into some of the math and numbers surrounding this thought as well as the results.

Carbon Ceramic Rotor Imbalance Fix
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.5 лет назад
A band-aid fix for for carbon ceramic rotors that are out of balance. While this procedure does not balance the actual rotor itself, it works by indexing the rotor to the wheel and balancing the whole rotating assembly together which then gives you the ability to counterbalance the rotors imbalance with wheel weights on the inside of the wheel. Typically, you should try everything possible to a...
Ego Nexus Power Station - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Просмотров 92 тыс.5 лет назад
An unbiased, unpaid user review of the Ego Nexus Power Station Inverter. Overall, a good product with more flaws in the advertising than the actual functionality. While it does a good job inverting battery power to AC, it's hard pressed to say this is a direct replacement to a gas generator. More well suited for tailgate parties, camping and construction sites vs a sustained power outage genera...
Ego Nexus Escape Power Inverter review
Просмотров 13 тыс.6 лет назад
Review of the Ego Nexus Escape power inverter. Overall, a good product but only if you already own other Ego products that came with a battery. A bit more under powered than i'd like but still, a good product for Ego to test the waters outside lawn care equipment. PLEASE NOTE - it does NOT come with a battery! Forgot to mention that in the review, although it was implied.
How to change the Cabin Air Filter in a Tesla Model X
Просмотров 17 тыс.6 лет назад
This video helps to explain the process of changing out the cabin air filter in a Tesla Model X. This video is NOT for the huge HEPA air filter located in the frunk (for those with the Premium Upgrade Package) but the standard cabin air filter behind the glove box in every Model X. Tesla recommends replacing the cabin air filter every 2 years or 25K miles (whichever comes first). The filter is ...

[FIX] C6 Corvette convertible tonneau cover hits rear window - How-to-video!
Просмотров 60 тыс.8 лет назад
I made this video to illustrate the fix for a common issue with a C6 Corvette power top. Many owners have complained that the tonneau cover will hit or rub the rear window when passing by, only to have the dealerships tell you that either (A) it is normal and happens with age, or (B) that the entire top needs to be replaced. Since most C6 Corvettes are either out of nearing the end of their bum...
Fixed mine today 10.20.2024. Pretty easy actually.
Andrew, just wanted to say thank you for this video. I realize that it’s a few years old now, but I just did this with my car and what a difference. I may do the rears now just to see what happens. Thanks for the help👍🏻
Awesome! Glad to hear it worked out for you! I've had pretty good feedback on it so far, and with how much these costs, it's just insane that they expect you to accept it or buy new
Nice!!! My C6 convertible has done this ever since I can remember. I've always just reached back and pulled on the window a little bit, but finally I know what to do to fix it. Thanks for the great vid!
“If they bought one and just kept the batteries…. More power to em.”
Thankyou for the valuable information
My small 400 watt inverter sounds like a better way to go with buying 3 or 4 of them.
Just bought my C6 and I noticed this issue. I will performing this fix! Thanks for the video. Extremely helpfull!!
My 2013 ZR1 has had a vibration since I've owned it (bought 6 years ago with 10k miles). After repairing bent wheels, replacing one, and road force balancing and match mounting the tires, the vibration was still there. It was a harmonic vibration that started around 50mph. I analyzed it with a oscilloscope and determined it was indeed a 1st order tire vibration. Since I had already ruled out the wheels & tires, rotors were my next target. I just mounted new tires today and decided to balance the rotors with the wheels as shown in this video. I spun one wheel up without the rotor attached and then again with the rotor attached. I subtracted the difference and determined that the rotor was 0.25oz off on inside plane and 0.75 oz off on outside plane, which is significantly out of balance for a rotor. I only did the fronts at this time but I will say it is a 90% improvement. I plan to do the same to the rear rotors some time soon.
Wait so without the batteries 🔋 on the side its basically useless?
Why does this video look like it was filmed in 2006?
You look a lot like the late Don Adams. Are you related?
07 I don’t have this problem but one of the strings that hold the cloth in place broke 🤷🏻♂️anyone know how to fix that
I thought that the dealer just tell ladies anything. I am having the same issue and was told the exact same thing. Thanks for your helpful information on this issue.
Great video!
Andrew thank you for making this video. I was looking at getting this or a ecoflow I just need about an hour of charge time for the Ego Z6. Think I would be better off getting this since I already have so many batteries.
Its an awesome addition if you have a lot of batteries, just like your situation. However I wouldn't pick it if your starting fresh without any batteries already on hand
Can you swap batteries as you charge?
Yes, however if the remaining batteries are too weak, removing the 4th can potentially mean it will go into shutdown mode as there may not be enough power left to keep running during the swap
Any reason you couldn't double the strap back on itself and use a slightly longer screw/bolt to reattach?
my 427 - 60 th ANNIVERSARY just purchased - does the same ALSO , I use a long fine artist paint brush dipped in oil to lubricate all hinge/metal contact points
I’ve done a lot of it experiments with the ego Nexxus power station. So I love your content! Feel free to check out mine as well, but you have earned a subscriber.
Whatchu wearing scrubs for? If you're a doctor or nurse you shoulda named this channel The Car doctor/nurse.
I am just wondering how you got a convertible Z06?
The 2013 427 convertible was a single-year trim and they only made 2,552 of them. It was the only time a Z06 engine could be had on the C6 convertible body. Starting with the C7, GM finally wised up and made the Z06 convertible an option.
Dude that pannel really isn't that hard to remove LOL
For people that aren't used to pulling car panels off, it feels like a break force. Everyone's different 🤷🏻
Nice...thanks
I followed your instructions and they worked well. The most difficulty I had was replacing the screws on the bottom of the glove box. Good job! Thank you.
Looks like we have the same model x's. 2016 early P90DL . So thx for letting look behind the curtain on what it took and looks like. Seems with you having a model 3 that you could offer a few more videos in that your so good at it.
Thanks for the kind words. Time has been very tight for me but I am going to be covering a few videos on my 2019 Model 3 performance here soon
Andrew, just found your videos. I have many Ego garden tools and 7 batteries. So I got the small plug-in inverters for charging cell phones if we loose grid power. The few times I needed them for that it was a good thing to have. So wanted to get more use out of the rest of the EGO batteries and went with the power station. I totally agree with your video on that topic. My expectations are low and this unit fills that. I have on 12ah ego battery and will add one every now and then till I have 4 12ah batteries to get the most run time out of Nexest. Hot swapping during a power outage will give a bit more time with my extra batteries. I had just started to consider it on a backup to the Tesla. Your video answered that and Yes was good enough. So if I had a 1/2 gal gas can for my truck I can see that gas is a better backup for emergencies, but that's not my plan so again I am good. Clearly a gas gen backup would be a better solution, but having the electric generator should be fine in if we loose power at home it would most likely be for an hour and these batteries will make life more normal during that event. Not a real solution if outage lasts longer, but we have other resources if that happens. You do such a good job making videos I am surprised you have not made more. Clearly you have much you can share I would just want to encourage you to not give up yet. Your channel has been getting action that should help your new videos to get better exposure. Good luck and thanks for helping me with understanding my new Ego Nexest. Just 3 more 12ah's to go for me. ;)
It can not be used while you are charging It I would not buy this item !
*always fold the lock handle back in place before stowing top in the down position* there is usually enough room but they have been known to get squashed and broken by the closing cover
Are you an aircraft mechanic?
The scrubs gave it away, didn't they?
Well damn, I did not notice that....shame on me lol.
@@alexc7641 I do have a background in engineering though so you weren't wrong to think so
When you were mentioned of indexing the rotating components to each other is what leaded me to think that. I used to work in a jet engine overhaul shop...we indexed everything to avoid having imbalances/vibration issues.
@@alexc7641 Makes perfect sense. You just create more work when you don't index anything that rotates. To me it's become 2nd nature and feels like common sense but that's why I made this video, as I discovered it apparently isn't common sense to most
The whole thing about cutting off power at 20% to save battery isn't accurate. I'm assuming the rep you spoke to was just reading off of some script that his supervisor threw together one day while bored, but the real reason is due to loss of energy during inversion. So while it's correct that you only get around 80% usable energy, this isn't an Ego specific issue, it's just an unfortunate side effect of physics. Every battery powered DC to AC inverter will have approximately 80% efficiency. Even DC to DC converters experience this in varying degrees depending on the conversion.
I was hoping this would be a solution for my vehicle fridge but unfortunately seeming like not the solution for me
Good info I will send it to the person that I sold my 2007 to. I had that issue but never knew a fix for it.
Beautiful
Thank you, nice job. Don’t forget to put the handle back in place before the top is opened all the way. I understand that handle can get broken by the tunnel cover coming down on it
I know this is such an old video but very informative, unfortunately this did not work for a customers vette I have in the shop for this same issue. Any other tips?
Replacing the entire strap is the only other fix I've seen for this. And by fix, I mean a temporary band-aid. Some have sourced a bungy cord or something of similar elasticity and made it to the same size. Seen varying results of success with that from works perfectly over time to what-a-waste-of-time-that-was. Boggles my mind that GM never bothered to find a permanent fix for this extremely well-known issue. Others have said it best...GM has been known to design certain stuff just good enough to get you past warranty. At that point they just shrug and say we didn't say it would work forever, people. Good luck with your endeavor, buddy. Wish I had more to tell you.
@@HexedInOhio I know I'm a gm technician lol I have replaced the top and straps. The straps are now part from a seat belt cause the oem straps broke. Still no dice. I feel like if I make it as tight as I need it to not contact, there's too much tension and the top will not close properly
@@brandonwarren4614 I'd imagine a seat belt material wouldn't work for that for reasons you just mentioned...it has to be able to stretch. Ironically, the biggest requirement is also its own undoing. I wish I had more to offer but being inside GMs network you'll probably have a lot better resources than anything I could offer. I don't even know if you can find the straps new anymore, which is gonna cause a huge problem down the road. Oh, how I miss the days of the simplicity of the manual folding top lol
@@HexedInOhio I wish I could just tell them "sell it" haha
@@brandonwarren4614 So sad too. The C6 was a really fun generation with tons of bang-for-the-buck potential. Stupid stuff like this that leaves you high and dry is why I can myself buying another Vette. After that issue, I next ran into the carbon ceramic rotors on my 2011 ZR1 being way out of balance and the only advice GM gave me was buy another set for $10k. Yeah no ill see y'all later lol
Can you come up with an adjective other than "trick". 2002 called, they want their adjective back.
Great video, yours is the first video I've seen that shows pretty easily where to find those damn straps for the rear bow. The focus difficulty was not a problem, the video showed exactly what was needed! Thanks.
It is sad that people are suprised the wattage output has nothing to do with the watt hour of batteries you are getting. I guess this is why Jackery has decided to make those numbers match so the Jackery 1000 is 1000 watt output with a 1002 watt hour battery.
That's because the general public isn't educated on most stuff battery-related. While there does seem to be more information floating out there now thanks to the huge rise in EVs and electric mowers, it's still very much so misunderstood. watt hours and watts have as much in common with each other as MPG and your gas tank size. One is a capacity and the other is consumption over time. Don't let the word "watts" in both of those stats mislead you to thinking they are interchangable. Therein lies my biggest complaint with products like this. They rarely advertise how LONG something can work at a specified rate, just the capacity and item's it can power. I once read somewhere that the average person looks at a box in a store for less than 5 seconds before moving on when browsing. That's not NEARLY enough time to explain all these numbers, so EGO (like all companies) dumbs it down to the smallest denominator and gives you the attention grabbing numbers that most people know. 2000 watts. I will disclose that this review is now 3 years old, and i'm not sure how EGO is advertising this now. The box and/or specs may have changed since then
so is there on the market any carbon ceramic rotors replacements that cant need later balancing ?
Form what I've heard it's still a crap shoot as most of the stuff people find now is new old stock from the last 15 years. Best suggestion is just to buy from a reputable source and ask what their policy is on returns on unbalanced rotors. At $1800/rotor, I wouldn't buy without a written agreement to their return policy on out-of-balance rotors.
It's something I would buy if I used EGO powertools on regular base and had lots of batteries, otherwise, just get a gas powered generator. Any way, EGO must make a V2 with passthrough ability.
Yeah that's pretty much what my review was attempting to get across. Don't bother with it unless you already have am arsenal of EGO batteries sitting around from other EGO products. Pass-through and a switch or toggle to keep the unit from turning off is the other thing that should have been on the unit, as it makes it unreliable if your putting a sump pump on it during a power outage since it only draws power when it runs every few minutes. Found that one out just a few days back
Thanks for the video, by any chance do you know the part number for the 7mm bolt/screw used to fasten the strap? My 2010 GS has an original bolt on one side and some other 1/4" chrome plated self tapping screw on the other. Many thanks!
I have $ 1200 in batteries for the EGO and $1200 for the RYOBI inverters just think the way THINGS are going TODAY with all going On
I just got a C6 yesterday, thank goodness these don't evaporate, really appreciate your help even if I'm 10 years late!!!
I have one and I wish I would've waited. Still no pass thru charging and the market is now flooded with Solar battery chargers.
Thanks so much for the honest review,
Thanks for a sincere review!!!
Candid opinion !!!!! Thank-you highly appreciated !!!!! Good man
One thing to be aware of with the EGO Nexus Power Station is that the Android app only works properly with Android 8.1 - 10 right now. With Android 11, bluetooth will work, but wifi doesn't. With Android 12, neither bluetooth or wifi will work. I have reported this to Ego after trying to get them to fix this for 3 months. I finally found an old Galaxy Tab S3 (Android 9) and was able to get it to connect to both bluetooth and wifi.
I just reach back and grab the top when it’s going up or down, literally takes zero effort…I live in Florida so the top is hardly ever up.
In a power outage the microwave and the AC along with the toaster or toaster oven would not be used. TV , pc's, phones and fridge are the most important and you don't need the fridge on all day. you can do 4 hours on and 4 hours off and use common sense. For the price of this unit you can buy a great 6500 watt generator, buy 3 5 gallon gas cans and fill them up and have 300 bucks left over and you are good for 4 or 5 days
