probably the same all-seasons that are on the regular GT. The Continental CrossContact RX tires. I use them as my summer tires (April-Nov) on a set of GTPE rims. I use Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on my GT rims for my winter tires (Nov-April).

I’d be tempted to lend my car to @heisnuts for the weekend to break the HVBJB and then drop it off at his local dealer since they’re so familiar with the repair. Hmm, maybe there’s a business opportunity there…

I wonder if Tesla is expanding their test sites or if this is the start of a major rollout. There are some big CCS bottlenecks out there that could use some relief (Quartzsite, AZ anybody?).

Farley had some interesting things to say to MotorTrend about how Ford came about getting a deal with Tesla. Check out the 19:43 mark.

I’m bracing myself for basically no further improvements to the 2021-23 cars for acceleration and charging times. Womp womp.

There’s no universal charge limit in the MME. It’s silly. I think there’s one in the Lightning though.

Tesla uptime should be pretty good. You can check them out next time you’re in Chugiak on their latest Magic Dock location.

“Wrong Vancouver” happens and can be a legit problem. In the Seattle area, whether you’re going north or south on I-5, there’s a distance sign saying you’re on the way to Vancouver. The wife of a Ft Lewis soldier was new to town after moving up from Texas. She went to visit her friend in...

There’s been a few new CCS charging stations opening up along I-5. The best thing though will be V3 access next year since there’s plenty of new superchargers along I-5.

Ellensburg is an absolute clusterfu*k these days. The reports of people stacked up waiting to charge there is now absurd.

Similar story and production numbers for me in July with 30 panels from SunPower. I’ve had the panels for 10 months and am hoping to bank enough kWh via net metering to be close to net zero for billing purposes over the course the year.

Interesting how GTs are failing in real time on the list. As for raw numbers and percentages, I can’t imagine there are that many GT/PE cars from 2021. The manufacturing timing for ‘21 GTs was what, 5 months? 6 months tops? Total built was just a few thousand maybe. With as many dead HVBJBs...

I run CC2s fall/winter/spring and the stock CrossContact RX tires spring/summer/fall (obviously some overlap). There is a noticeable range hit with the CC2s and the CrossContact RX tires are both quieter and do better at softening rough pavement.

There’s literally a handful of us! 🖐️

hate to disagree with you, but a 20-25% difference is pretty significant, regardless of what’s being measured. 36 minutes is what the MME ER should have launched with and sub-30 minutes is what the midcycle should be. That would at least keep pace with the primary competition.

These 400v cars all charge to 80% between 5-8 minutes faster than the MME Rally. e-tron Polestar ID4 Mercedes EQE Still in the MME’s price range and class are the Korean EVs and they’re at 18 mins.

It’s a valid question. Did Ford beef up the HV components to sustain more current or is this just a software revision to the existing hardware? 9 minutes improvement to the charging time to 80% is a nice leap forward but still anywhere from 10-18 minutes longer than other cars in its class.

I’ve got the Hipster Rally! I had a GT with Michelin CrossClimate2s before it was cool.

lemme know how the rental goes. Like, is your dealer taking care of that for you with a local rental company or do they give you a loaner?

if you have to ask…
