A locked Mercedes EQS battery won't even let you repair it. One cell dies, the slave BMS latches the whole pack, throws P1C80 and kills the high voltage — and here's the trap: you can't just clear it, the fault is burned into the BMS memory and no diagnostic tool on this planet can wipe it. Dealer answer? New battery. Thirty grand. For one dead cell. That's exactly where we come in.

We cracked it the only way that actually works — read both slave BMS EEPROMs byte by byte, decode the stored faults, map the internal resistance of all 108 cells, and watch the failure replay itself: cell 12 in module I collapsing from 3.8V down to 1.5V under load while the BMS counted down to lockout. No scanner shows you that. We pull it straight out of the chip — and we even caught the next cells starting to go before they strand the car again.

And here's the clever bit nobody talks about — this pack is really two batteries in one. Two 400V strings running in parallel, each on its own BMS. When the right string went bad, the system did exactly what it was built to do: it cut the faulty right side off from its own control and kept the car running on the left string alone. The car literally drove on half its battery, limping along on the healthy left side while the dead right one sat isolated — until the left slowly drained itself down to empty. That's redundancy doing its job, and most people never even know it happened.

And get this straight — the lockout is wiped while EVERY byte of the original factory calibration stays untouched. No donor BMS. No swapped-in module dragging someone else's data into your pack. Nothing compromised. The battery keeps its own brain, its own calibration, its own identity — just without the fault. That's the difference between a real fix and a bodge.

Full breakdown, pictures and part numbers at the bottom of the article:

EQS V297 · slave BMS M95M02 + TC277T - Cells CATL
TOP A789 900 2801 · BOTTOM A789 900 9800
Faults cleared: P1C80 · P1540 · P0F18 · P0F64 · P0B63 · P0B64 · P0B67 · U357D

Software side is done — the lockout is beaten, calibration intact. Now we are waiting brand new modules from Poland to install into battery and finally run the car without any locking faults and with more range.

Sustainablity of EV in comparison with ICE is measured in repairability!

Det bliver en hård og dyr vinter - lad os rette op på årtiers forfejlet energipolitik

Nu er frosten og kulden ved at melde sin ankomst, og det kommer vi til at mærke på vores el- og varmeregninger

Det skyldes skyhøje gas- og oliepriser, for vi har stadig brug for netop olie og gas, selvom vi angiveligt lever i et grønt foregangsland. Det viser sig nemlig, at det nogle gange er sådan i Danmark, at solen ikke skinner, og vinden ikke blæser. Det kan man ikke ændre på, uanset hvor meget af landet og havet, man plastrer til i solceller og vindmøller.

Ja, det kommer åbenbart bag på mange meget kloge og grønne politikere.

Ifølge en dugfrisk prognose fra Dansk Erhverv kan prisen for vores fossile afhængighed blive 15 milliarder kroner mere end gennemsnittet fra de sidste fem år i gennemsnit for danskerne og danske virksomheder.

Det kan altså blive prisen for ikke at have en stærk, stabil og ren energikilde som fundamentet under vores energiforsyning.

Og det er bare grund nummer cirka fem milliard til at stemme på nogle partier, der forstår og tager energipolitik seriøst. Ikke mindst vores lille liberale alliance.

Men du kan også gøre mere end det. Du kan melde dig ind i kampen for såvel kernekraft som alverdens andet godt ved tegne et medlemskab til Liberal Alliance - Danmarks grønneste parti. Det har jeg smidt et link ind til nedenfor.

Alternativet er, at vi fortsætter cirkusset med checks og midlertidige afgiftslettelser for at afbøde konsekvenserne af problemet - det vil give en masse dejlig omtale af os politikere, der kan føre os frem som barmhjertige redningsmænd.

Det er smart for os politikere, men det er eddersparkeme ikke klog eller ordentlig politik for jer borgere.

Jeg har ikke noget imod vind- og solenergi. Det er smart, grønt og billigt, når det producerer - og vi får også brug for mere vedvarende energi i fremtiden. Men vi har brug for et fundament under vores energiforsyning, der er stabilt - også når det er nat og vindstille.

Det er på tide at rette op på flere årtiers forfejlet energipolitik.

Danskerne fortjener rigelig, stabil og ren energi uanset vejret. Og det kræver, at vi pakker 70’ernes skræmmebilleder og de snæversynede særinteresser væk og begynder at kigge på kernekraft som en vigtig
partner for vores sol og vind.

Det har regeringen og resten af venstrefløjen vist sig ude af stand til at gøre. Men det kan vi.

Sikke en god fremtid, vi kan skabe sammen, hvis vi giver Danmark og danskerne lov til det.

If Zelensky Is So Corrupt, Why Can’t Anyone Buy Him? 🇺🇦

I just realized something almost hilarious if it wasn’t very obvious and also real about the whole anti-Zelensky narrative.

For years we have been told that Zelensky is corrupt, illegitimate, a puppet, a billionaire thief, some CIA creation, whatever version happens to be useful that day. And yet somehow Putin, Trump, oligarchs, billionaires and the entire anti-Ukraine political machine still cannot control him.

Think about that contradiction.

Zelensky was elected in 2019 with about 73% of the runoff vote. Ukraine has not held another presidential election because elections are suspended under martial law during Russia’s invasion, something Zelensky has said could change if conditions allow a safe and legal vote. Meanwhile Trump, Elon and others are now openly calling for Ukraine to replace him after Zelensky refused demands to stop attacking Russian energy infrastructure and bend over to them.

And this is where their own propaganda stops making sense. If Zelensky were really as spectacularly corrupt as they claim, why wouldn’t somebody have bought him years ago?

Putin has all the money. Russian oligarchs have money. Western billionaires have money. Elon has more money than all of them. Trump has political power. There are people with enormous financial and geopolitical interests who would benefit from a Ukrainian president willing to make the right deal for them.

If Zelensky were really nothing but a corrupt opportunist, the easiest path imaginable would have been to take the money, make peace with Putin on Putin’s terms, protect himself, become insanely wealthy, powerful and live comfortably ruling the Ukraine and the area as a probably richest dictator on earth.

Instead, Russia invaded, Zelensky stayed, Ukraine kept fighting, and years later these people are still trying to pressure him, discredit him, replace him and convince everyone that he is somehow the problem.

Trump and Elon has now publicly called for Ukraine to get a new president after Zelensky resisted pressure over Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. Their relationship has deteriorated sharply precisely because Zelensky has continued pursuing policies Washington told him to stop.

So maybe the reason so many powerful men seem absolutely fucking obsessed with Zelensky is much simpler than all the conspiracy theories.

Maybe they hate him because they cannot break him.

Maybe they hate him because they cannot buy him.

Maybe they are simply jealous of him and his amazing courage and integrity.?

And maybe nothing drives men obsessed with power more insane than another man they cannot control.

Anna Bjerre sidder i Folketinget for Alternativet. Hun er queer.

I B.T.’s podcast “Borgerlig Tabloid” bliver hun spurgt, om hun vil give dansk statsborgerskab til en ansøger, der mener, at hun i hans idealsamfund skal slås ihjel. Ja, svarer hun. Hun vil ikke “smide nogen ud på baggrund af sindelagskontrol”.

Spørgsmålet er langt fra teoretisk. I programmet Højskolen mødte Anna en “konservativ muslim”, der senere har sagt, at der i et islamisk idealsamfund er dødsstraf for homoseksualitet. Anna kalder det “100 procent et problem”, hvis flere med de holdninger kommer hertil. Alligevel stemmer hun for: “Ja, og så må vi tage de problemer, der eventuelt kommer.”

Jeg tror oprigtigt på, at det gør ondt på hende. Hun sidder fast mellem sin egen tryghed og et princip, hun ikke vil slippe. Men princippet holder ikke. Dansk statsborgerskab er ikke noget, nogen har “ret” til. Det er et privilegium, og det er Folketinget - Anna selv inklusive - der suverænt afgør, om en ansøger er værdig til det.

Ingen, hvis idealsamfund har dødsstraf for homoseksualitet, er værdig til at blive medborger i Danmark.
Ingen.

Statsborgerskab giver også ret til at være med til at bestemme, hvordan fremtidens Danmark skal se ud for vores børn. Og det kan ikke tages tilbage, hvis integrationen slår fejl, hvad den alt, alt for ofte har gjort. Derfor skal statsborgerskab gives, når integrationen er lykkedes - ikke for at få den til at lykkes.

Frie samfund opstår ikke af sig selv. De skal forsvares af mennesker, der vil dem. Derfor stemmer Liberal Alliance ikke for flere statsborgerskaber, før en ordentlig screening er på plads. Blandt de 2.055, som regeringen vil give statsborgerskab, har vi selv fundet en ansøger, der gentagne gange har hyldet Hamas og terrorlederne Yahya Sinwar og Ismail Haniyeh. Hvor mange flere er der? Ingen aner det, og Socialdemokraterne nægter at undersøge det.

Anna skal kunne leve frit og trygt i Danmark. Det sikrer man ikke ved at give stemmeret til folk, der drømmer om et samfund, hvor hun ikke må elske, hvem hun vil - eller slet ikke må leve.

BREAKING: GLOVES OFF! President Zelenskyy RIPS into Trump's monstrous diesel deal with Putin as a "betrayal" and warns that he is not on "the right side of history."

And he was just getting warmed up...

"It appears that President Trump, to quote a phrase that we would use over here, has thrown you under the bus," Piers Morgan said to the Ukrainian President during an interview. "He's done this diesel deal with Vladimir Putin, having just announced renewed sanctions, which people find inexplicable. And now you have a situation where President Trump announced an energy ceasefire, and within hours Vladimir Putin launches an absolute bombardment of Ukraine, aimed directly at your energy."

"Do you feel betrayed by what has been happening?" Morgan asked.

"Really, yes. Really, between us," said Zelenskyy. "But it's a little bit more complicated than just my emotions or my feelings. Our country has to survive."

Trump recently blindsided Ukraine, our European allies, and the American people who oppose Russia's brutal invasion by announcing a "deal" to let Putin flood the global markets with millions of barrels of diesel. He has tried to spin it as a win, but it's nothing more than cowardly capitulation, a desperate attempt to wrestle down out-of-control gas prices ahead of the midterm elections. Those gas prices, ironically and tragically enough, are a direct result of his disastrous, pointless Iran War. Trump created this problem, then stabbed an ally in the back to "fix" it. Now, the Kremlin will get a massive influx of new cash to help fund their war machine and slaughter more innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.

"When you found out that President Trump had done this deal with Putin, twenty-one days after new sanctions, what was your immediate response to that?" asked Morgan.

"It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner," Zelenskyy said bluntly. "So this is my opinion."

"You think you're losing America?" asked Morgan.

"Yeah. But not because of us. We can't be weak, otherwise we can't survive," said Zelenskyy. "We are not selling our country. Look, guys, it's not about business for us. It's just our life. And this is our country, it's our body. So our home, our children. And this is very important for us."

"That's why it's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side," he continued. "But we are okay that he's in the middle. But if you're in the middle, you have to stay in the middle. Not on the wrong side. I think his advisors are wrong. I don't know who is pushing him not to the right side. This is not the right side of history."

Notice how masterfully Zelenskyy phrased his attack. He condemned Trump's actions as a betrayal, shaming him, but then gave the egomaniacal American President a way out by suggesting that his advisors are to blame and that he can still reverse course.

The reality, of course, is that this "deal" is fully Trump's responsibility because he's the one sitting behind the Resolute Desk. This betrayal is a result of his incompetence, his self-interested desire to lower gas prices at any cost, and the fact that he is a creature pathologically incapable of loyalty. History will judge him accordingly.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that history will vilify Trump and Putin!

Jeg vil gerne fortælle dig en hemmelighed.

I nat, mens du sov, brugte Danmark atomkraft.

Igen.

Vinden lagde sig over Nordsøen, solen var gået i seng, og så gjorde vi det, vi altid gør, når ingen kigger: Vi satte vores lid til et kabel dybt nede i Øresund og lånte strøm fra de svenske atomkraftværker.

Vi har gjort det i årtier, og svenskerne ved det selvfølgelig godt. De sladrer ikke til nogen, de sender bare en regning.

Lidt historie: Folketinget tog atomkraft ud af dansk energiplanlægning i 1985. Det er før, jeg blev født. Vi opfandt endda logoet med den lille smilende "Atomkraft? Nej tak"-sol. Den blev tegnet i Aarhus i 1975 og er formentlig noget af det mest udbredte danske design efter legoklodsen.

Vi er simpelthen verdensmestre i at sige nej tak. Vi har bare aldrig rigtig fået sagt, hvad vi gerne vil have en aften, hvor solen ikke skinner og vinden ikke blæser.

For at gøre det endnu mere skørt er danske ingeniører endda blandt de dygtigste i verden til at udvikle den næste generation af små reaktorer. Vi har Copenhagen Atomics, vi har Seaborg. Men de må bare ikke bygge dem i Danmark.

Prøv at forestille dig, at Lego havde fået at vide, at de kun måtte lave klodserne i Tyskland.

Så hvad vil Liberal Alliance egentlig? Vi vil først og fremmest have ophævet forbuddet. Og vi vil omprioritere de 55,2 mia. kr., der er afsat til havvind, til blandt andet to atomkraftværker med små, modulære reaktorer ved Studstrup og Kalundborg, som skal levere strøm senest i 2040.

Så kan vi selv producere stabil strøm med lave CO₂-udledninger, også på en vindstille aften i februar. Det synes jeg faktisk fortjener en chance, selv om nogen i Aarhus engang har tegnet et logo.

Indtil da: Tak for lån, Sverige. Sig det nu ikke til nogen.

Her ser du den enkeltperson, som har støttet Ukraine mest.

Det er Howard Buffett, Warren Buffets søn, som i alt har doneret 1,4 milliarder dollars - over 9 milliarder kroner! - til alverdens ting i Ukraine.

Han har støttet Ukraine med landbrugsmaskiner, udstyr til at fjerne miner, doneret massive beløb til soldaterhospitalet Superhumans, betalt for genopbygning af hele bydele, broer, kraftværker, generatorer - og 642 millioner (!!!) måltider. Alt det, der foruden krudt og kugler også skal bruges for at vinde krigen og freden bagefter.

Det er dybt beundringsværdigt.

I min nye bog har jeg efterspurgt, at vores moderne elite lader sig inspirere mere af fortidens godgørende titaner i stedet for at putte sig bag flad og bureaukratisk CSR, ESG, og hvad de ellers kalder det.

Det må man sige, at Howard Buffett er et beundringsværdigt eksempel på. Vi har nemlig brug for, at de store tager et ekstraordinært ansvar.

Ikke ved, at vi brandbeskatter og gennemregulerer værdiskabelse, men gennem at fremelske stærke normer for godgørende arbejde og samfundsansvar.

Vi kunne aldrig være blevet så gode og stærke samfund, hvis ikke de store følte sig kaldet til at gøre meget for fællesskabet.

Og husk, at man ikke behøver at være millionær for at kunne støtte Ukraine. Man behøver såmænd bare at forstå, at frontlinjen i kampen for Vestens fremtid går direkte gennem Ukraine.

Lad Howard Buffet inspirere os alle - politikere, rigmænd og alle andre.
