Interesting choice, Dennis. Reliability of Toyota is one of the best. However if you keep your cars only 3 or 4 years, that may not play much of a role in your choices. A quick search revealed that all 2026 Camry models are hybrids - is that what you purchased? I would be interested in...

As I was reading this thread, then glanced at my phone - the Ford App state of charge boxes were no longer empty! Thanks, guys! I have no idea why it stopped working a few days ago, then started working again as I was reading the Forum! Must be connected somehow! You people are brilliant...

Just received an email that mine has shipped. Ordered March 2. Order 90045930.

Surprise! Although I still had not found radio settings, I found out that my Profile no longer existed. I created it again and when I finished, half of my radio presets reappeared. When I found the radio settings and changed to 4 rows, some old AM and FM stations appeared. Curious...

Thanks Kamuelaflyer! Apparently the car itself can also change the setting multiple times. I will see if I can get the rows back! Then all I have to do is save, save, save again....

I listen to XM stations that I saved when I bought the car in March 2024. At first it was my bottom row that disappeared days later. A couple of weeks later, another row gone, then another, and now down to one row only. No squares show up any more, so I am guessing where to touch to add a...

Thanks, Matt! Very helpful.

But you did respond! The real question is: Have you noticed any wind noise while driving highway speed that happened after you finished the install? The FORD product has an open gap at the front edge of the front windows that does make noise.

This install looks like there is no air gap at the front edges like there are on the FORD version. Can you maybe post a picture of the leading edge as installed up near the mirror? I tried to enlarge your photo, but you have smoke on black in the shade in the late afternoon and I couldn't make...

Another way to say this is that solid state batteries have been "2 years away" for over a decade...

Our local Hyundai Dealer is turning them over quite rapidly. I see more and more every day around town. You see, I trained the salesman almost 5 years ago when I bought my Kona EV (before the Mach E was available). He actually listened! They now have trained sales people and about 60% of...

I know a friend who "tried" EV ownership, but lived in a condo and found it too inconvenient to spend 30 minutes every 2 to 3 days to recharge at a DCFC nearby. Recently, they traded their EV in for a PHEV that they can plug into a 110 outlet overnight and they have cut their gas bill by about...

Since no Mach E looker or buyer will ever buy a DCFC, why have one at the dealership? Yes, in some edge cases, such as rural areas, it possibly makes sense. It makes a lot more sense to me to have on display and functional a 4 prong 14-50 socket that accepts the charge cord that is delivered...

I don't know. I always drove with the windows closed for best efficiency. BTW, I traded in my Route 1 after 3 years for a GTPE that was heavily discounted. Still debating about whether to add the deflectors to my GTPE... That little gap at the front always made a little noise at highway...

So sorrry for your loss and hassle that resulted! I am sure that the time/money to replace all those items was only part of the effects on your life. Loss of sleep and worry are impossible to make up for with reprogramming or a few $$.
