I talk a lot of smack about Kick to Open (KtO) not working very well on my car. Well, a few weeks ago a neighbor was talking to me about my car and asked if my car had KtO. I told him that it did and said it didn't work for crap. Of course, my car had to shave this Poodle's topknot. I kicked...

A friend invited me to go hunting tomorrow morning. I’m going to see how the MME fares with all of my junk in it. My biggest concern at the moment is possibly getting stuck. Next is the HVBJB. I will post back after I do the RT. 😊🐩

Today on the way back from work I stopped off at a store. I locked my car after I parked and went shopping. Walking back to my car, the lift gate opened when I was about 3 feet from the car. It's never done that before. Pretty sure the Kick to Open sensor didn't open it since I was pretty far...

This morning on the way to work an F150 cut me off. I was using Adaptive Cruise Control to maintain spacing and expected the car to slow down in order to maintain spacing. I had a fun surprise when the car throttled up and I had to hit the brakes in order to prevent rear-ending the F150. Once...

One of my cousins who has been a life-long Ford guy (he’s in his 60s) saw my MME for the first time today. He was really jazzed about the car. He recognized the nOtAmUsTaNG crowd and said that while they might have a point, he disagrees. He loved my car and thought it has a place. 😊🐩

To you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey went into the smoker half an hour ago. 😊🐩

I just walked through a parking lot where there is an EVSE at a handicapped space. The car parked there not only was an ICE car, it had no handicap placard or sticker or plate. 😱🐩 To top it all off, most of the lot was empty. Some people have nerve. 🤬🐩

Up for grabs. Come and get them. I’m in Foster City.

I guess we missed a Spring meet-up. Anyone up for an end-of-summer meet-up (or maybe we should just forget end of summer and just do a Fall meet-up)? Anyone got a good location? Mid-morning seemed to work best for people in the past. Date/time suggestions? 😎🐩 New Poll! Breakers Cafe in Redwood...

Hello @AOSK . I was looking at the cargo net that you have available. I see that it's attached to 4 cargo rings in the photo. Do oyu have any plans to duplicate those forward cargo rings? It seems that the EU market cars (and I assume the CN market cars too) get the forward rings, but the NA...

I always hit the lock button on the inside door panel, the lock icon on the outside of the door, or the 7-8/9-0 combination on the keypad before I walk away from my car. I almost always verify by watching the mirrors fold before walking away. For the last couple of weeks, I have been getting a...

Heading home after the software update for the recall, I stopped off at the grocery store for a few items. I parked as I normally do, as far away from the entrance as possible and not near other cars. There was a PG&E truck a couple of spaces over but nothing else. I popped the frunk and threw...

I am at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference. Wallbox is showing off a new EVSE with bidirectional capability. It’s called the Quasar 2. They say it’s an updated version of the unit they are currently selling in Europe. Not much other info at the moment, but I am going to get some more. It is...

Headed out of Sonoma Raceway at about 3:00 today on Hwy 121 North. Spotted a Cyber Orange MME headed South. Moments later spotted a dark grey MME also headed South. Waved at both from my Grabber Blue MME. 😊🐩
