    Mirrors not retracting

    Autofold also controls the pony lights. 6.2 turned Autofold off and disabled my pony lights in the process. I tried everything to restore the pony lights and only when I turned Autofold back on.... did they return (hooray!).

    Good article on state of NEVI funding of chargers

    When this goes live, I will believe FL is serious about NEVI https://www.fdot.gov/emergingtechnologies/home/evprogram/rfa I read Tesla's FL NEVI comments and they mentioned it typically takes about a 12-16 months to get a SC location fully built from planning to opening. The permitting being...

    Good article on state of NEVI funding of chargers

    Yup. In the same time, Tesla has built another 1000-ish sites in North America - from 1300 to 2300 (Dec 2023). https://supercharge.info/charts https://supercharge.info/data

    Good article on state of NEVI funding of chargers

    The problem is some states (cough, FL) are actively blocking NEVI. The bidding process hasn't even started because the bid form has not been finalized according to my sources and there's no intention to finalize it. From what I gather... the state is waiting for a "next administration" to kill...

    Cybertruck Engineering Innovations

    Weight reduction is a nice side effect. Having a dozen module itself is the problem. Try updating each one via the sloooooow CAN-bus. Look at the threads on Mach-E module updates... everybody has to track which version goes with another version of another module. It's a management + testing...

    Nope. All I've seen is references to mild hybrids which all use 48V motors. I've yet to see ANYBODY post a link to a production car with 48V electronics (outside of the ISG + starter motor). It's not about weight. It's about a proper design. Legacy carmakers basically duct-tape a few dozen...

    KIA EV6 GT - Faster Than A MME GT - No 5 Second Limit!

    Seriously... are many Ford dealers any better? They have pretty old run-down dealerships near me. All of the charged markup during the craziness.... on Broncos, Mach-Es, Lightnings, etc. Kia dealers are definitely very slimey but the Hyundai dealerships are nicer/cleaner and dare I say more...

    KIA EV6 GT - Faster Than A MME GT - No 5 Second Limit!

    For me... leasing an EV6 GT with all the crazy dealer discounts and lease rebate is cheaper than buying a Model 3 Performance in my situation. The EV6 GT is cheaper - around $48-50K. The problem is... CCS charging sucks near tracks and that was my primary motivator to get one. Now that the...

    KIA EV6 GT - Faster Than A MME GT - No 5 Second Limit!

    The green one with brown interior is incredible in person - better looking than any Mach-E combo. A true classic. Too bad they don’t have the GT in that color combo. Ford needs an eruption green MME with classy interior instead of that dirty white/grey.

    Tesla will try stuff - like the yoke and removing signal stalk and shifter stalk... then revert back. I prefer the steering wheel and signal stalk. The shifter stalk is useless... the screen version on the S and X work great. Sadly Telsa is sticking with no signal stalk.

    Is this new to the CT? I thought Tesla vehicles always had very few modules compared to dozens up dozens of modules (50?) in traditional legacy cars (since carmakers basically duct tape different components together). Interesting. They didn't go with the Hyundai approach. Not sure this device...

    CyberTruck Video By Hagerty - Impressive Performance

    48V and steer by wire are the two things I'd want from that vehicle.

    Ford Authority Explains Used Mach E Values

    Article didn't even both linking to the original source which seems to on par for the sh*tty XXXXXauthority sites. Mostly empty fluff pieces that are often incorrect (GM Authority is a laughing stock on Lyriq and Hummer news). I saw an updated list as this is a few months old. Majority of the...

    Mach-E vs. 2024 Volvo EX90 - design, specs, price

    I think there’s a giant loophole as I recall. Tariffs can be canceled out by exporting US made cars to China (and maybe Europe?).

    We took a Model Y road trip

    Nice video I don’t miss Autopilot phantom braking and disengaging when you tap the wheel too hard or just want to steer briefly. It’s become my least favorite ADAS. AP can also phantom brake on unmapped roads (I think Tesla uses Tom Tom). The new I-4 ultimate express lanes weren’t mapped...

    I like the idea of 48V electronics and steer by wire but zero interest in the CT.

    Lemon Law Initiation

    If this is your only car and you road trip with it... the Model Y is probably a top choice. At that point... I'd consider a PHEV also.

    Lemon Law Initiation

    After 3 HVBJB replacements - I would also pursue a buyback. If Ford says no... push for lemon law in your state. As for another EV... there are many options these days. Ioniq 5, BMW i4, Lyriq, GV60, etc. I would not just default to a Tesla.

    Electrify America stations are regularly full now - is EA finally making money?

    EA has focused on cycle 3 sites. Non south Florida had zero new sites built in the past 2.5 years and suddenly 4 new locations were finished in the past 6 months (St Pete, another Tampa location, Lakeland, Orlando outlet mall). It’s still well short of how quickly Tesla expands here but it is...

    Cybertruck at Tesla Stores

    Yeah they are supposedly arriving to various Tesla stores across the country (it started two weeks ago). I missed seeing one in person at the Austin Electrify Expo by an hour or so... With that said, I have ZERO interest in a CT. Forget the looks... it's too much of a toy car. If I wanted a...
