2026 50e Charging Interruptions

It appears that my charger is overheating regularly now that it's summer in the northeast. I'll usually get an interruption notice after about a 40-50% charge on hot days. Once it cools off I can get it to resume by unplugging the charger and immediately plugging it back in.

My question is, has anyone figured out a way to restart the charging remotely? It would be nice not to have to deal with the manual reset every time.

I'm using the Flexible Fast Charger and a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet.

Any other things worth trying to avoid having to unplug/replug every time I need a full charge?

Advice needed - uncle was a huge collector, moving to assisted living

I am hoping for some advice. My uncle is at the point where he will have to move to an assisted living facility due to dementia and other health struggles. Collecting model trains was his lifelong hobby. He and his wife didn't have children and dedicated a large part of their life to collecting trains. The collection is massive.

If this were one of your family members and you didn't know a thing about model trains, what would you do? I assume there must be experts who evaluate/appraise collections? We want to make sure he receives fair value and that everything is fully appreciated by future owners.

For reference, he is in Virginia, not far from DC. I greatly appreciate any help. I hope this post doesn't violate the appraisal rules - I figured it was worth a try as it is more of a general question than a specific appraisal ask.

Edit: This was really helpful. Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions. I will make sure his collection lives on in one way or another. I know he will appreciate it as well.

Sundance ClearRay Replacement

This will be my first time ordering a replacement bulb. Are most of you ordering the Sundance branded bulb or an Amazon replacement? Any specific recommendations, if so?

It seems like a simple enough item where the OEM isn’t necessary but wanted to make sure there aren’t any horror stories before I order.

Thank you!

I’m curious who else has noticed this, or if there’s a fix.

I’m not even sure of the right way to describe the pitch change that is happening, but it is only when looping a single track of white noise.

If I play the track on its own it sounds completely normal. If I loop it, about 5-7 second in to the subsequent loops I hear a strange pitch shift that almost sounds like a filter which lasts a couple seconds. It’s incredibly annoying and completely new within the last week or so.

I’ve tried adjusting all of the playback settings, deleting the cache, and I re-downloaded the app.

Any thoughts or tips would are appreciated.

Edit: It is happening on any of the tracks by “Dream Supplier”

Back in November we speculated that Costco might be the Anchor 2 tenant in the rendering above. An article in Foster’s this morning confirmed our suspicions.

So far I still haven’t heard any reliable speculation about the Anchor 1 tenant. In November we guessed it might be an IKEA. Based on the massive, 236,600 sq ft footprint it’s hard to imagine much else fitting the bill.

Has anyone heard any other speculation?

The more I think about it, a tax-free IKEA would have a massive draw, especially when people can hit the adjacent tax-free Costco.
