@GreaseMonkey You are absolutely correct. None of the high mileage cars drove like new. And, thinking back, 2 of the last three to go over 200K had issues with the engine that would need to be addressed soon. (In each case, I had had them for over 8 years and decided to get a newer car before...

Might be even better than new due to updates. To be fair, I have run a number of ICE over 200K without significant issue, but the effort to do that was not zero.

FWIW, at the Apex location a week ago, the links worked as soon as I got the text.

Rolled coal, and "it's not a Mustang" has been the most negative I have seen in the last 2 years of ownership. I had a trip last year where an old large truck passed me, then slowed down enough to give me a thumbs-up. And this was a rural area.

Thanks for the trip report. My first long trip in my 2024 Ford MME Rally was Detroit to Muskogee to Grand Junction, CO and back to Detroit was in Sept 2024. Outbound was through Indianapolis, then 70/44 to Joplin, so I have seen much of the same route. I find Buc-ee's to be good for what it...

My 2024 Ford MME Rally gets about 240 miles baseline. I did a trip last year with fairly stable 10F temperatures, and the projected full battery range was 200 (this was the average over 6 legs with the worst projection at 197). That is roughly 20%. This was Atlanta to Detroit at 70 in a single...

This Ford employee is envious of your access. Thanks for the articles and videos.

If you are west of I-75, you are likely fine for DCFC. East of I-75 and north of M-72, it is sparce. There is 150+ KW DCFC in Oscoda and Cheboygan, but not much between them. There are some Level 2 options in the area, but whether that is useful to you will depend on details of your plans.

Looking at the Michigan NEVI GIS site, that location between the Bridge and Escanaba is no longer displayed. I agree that a site is needed to break this segment of US 2.

I went all the way to Copper Harbor last summer. The segment from Mackinaw City to Marquette is tight, but there is a bailout option in Munising. BTW, ABRP suggested going to Escanaba between Mackinaw City and Marquette. On the way up, I used the slow DCFC in Munising, and topped up overnight...

I'm going to counter #3. I did not get the redesigned Ford Fusion Hybrid because there was no spare. I will allow that the number of sales is small enough that they are ahead on #1 and #2, but that number is not zero. I was seriously considering a Kia Niro over a Kia EV6 as there was a way to...

FWIW, I don't have a spare in the Rally, but I would really like to have the option. But then, I carried a 2.5 ton floor jack in the trunk of the previous two cars. I started a few years after you, and I might have fewer miles (but it is of the same magnitude).

In over 40 years of driving, I have needed the spare for every car I have owned, and the nature of the failure was not something fix-a-flat was going to help with. These were on normal road trips on normal roads. Also, I regularly find myself in locations with no cell service.

My current guess is the next change will be CCS1 -> NACS, but I expect that will not happen soon. I already have the adapters, so I am not that concerned. The next change would be improved capacity and charging, but that will require significant redesign.

InsideEVs just keeps getting worse. I stopped following them last year some time.

I have been unable to reproduce the error with a test script on my system, but it is a work computer, and I have gone as far with that as I can justify. A few more things to try: python .\FormatCSV.py python "FormatCSV.py" python ".\FormatCSV.py" Another possible solution would be Windows...

There is a way to pull the file into Python from the Python prompt (>>>), but I do not know a reliable way to specify the arguments using that process. The Python command is working, so the PATH is good. From the window prompt (...-main>), try just FormatCSV.py Next would be be (from the...

Not sure why that is not working. The expansions look correct. I have not tried to use Python on Windows in a long time. Try python .\FormatCSV.py That should generate a usage line. Another option, but this might require other steps (that might have been done when Python was installed)...

Exit Python I assume you are in the same directory with the script and data. Try python FormatCSV.py -i rawdata.csv -o output.csv

The square brackets show what is optional, but at not included when used. FormatCSV.py -i rawdata.csv -o output.csv FormatCSV.py -i rawdata.csv -o output.csv -a -s 30 It is possible that the 30 needs to be 30s, but I would try just the number first.
