Not as fun as last year! I think everyone was sick or jet lagged ?

RE+ solar conference was better last year. Looking forward to that one.

Here are the pictures I took:

My bmw x5's and the wife's 535ix have the popup cleaners like those already just for the hid headlights

I saw these guys at re+ and I'm surprised they don't have more consumer units for sale in America. They look amazing:

Did you cut any stuff open or tear it apart so we can know how well its built. Good looks don't necessarily get the job done.

And a robot dog! Lots of these were present. Great competition for Boston dynamics high priced units:

Most things at ces are non-functional unfortunately. The flying cars are always there and I never see them operating during or after the show. Very unfortunate.

But many products eventually make it to consumer market. Large tech companies use the show to release new products.

? They do solar generators mainly. I wish there were more doing what I do. That would be cool

Do EVs like that truck use orange only for positive and green/yellow ground for all negative?

Orange is for all high voltage.
It can be confusing.

I had heard that before, it just seems like with the size of those ground wires they're carrying the traction motor current which is the part I'm confused by. Are they the HV negative.

Green/yellow are grounds.
The traction motors are 3-phase AC.
