I've started having a new issue with the built in nav after power up 2.3.0. It has started explicitly telling me when to enter and exit the express/carpool lane on the interstate. On the surface this doesn't sound like an issue, but it's a pain (and somewhat dangerous) because by the time it...

I've seen a lot of reports on here of cars charging outside of their set limits and times. I cannot speak to blowing past a charge limit, but I think I found a case where charging outside of hours makes sense (and is purposeful). My evse allows me to set the charge rate (very handy since the...

This evening I experienced probably the worst adaptive Cruise Fail I've ever had. I was on the freeway in stop and go traffic. The tacoma in front of me slowed and my car followed and reacted accordingly. But once the truck in front stopped, my car kept creeping closer and closer (much less...

I've noticed that opening the frunk immediately kills remote start. Is there any good reason for this? That kind of functionality makes perfect sense for an ice vehicle, given there's an engine in there. But I can't think of any reason to do that with a storage bin. So what do you think? Is...

There seems to be a lot of confusion around OTA. What updates are out, how they work, and how to know what you have. So I thought I'd make a guide to help clear things up. 1) What do the numbers mean? Power Ups (OTA updates) are numbered, but the numbers mean nothing. They might as well be...

We all know about the ice breakers in the doors, but I think I found another ice breaker in the front grill shutters. Tonight is particularly cold for Utah at 11F (-11C) due to drop down to 5F. (Yes I know it gets down to -4,000 where you Canadians are) When I got into the garage I plugged the...

This morning I encountered a fun bug where the blinker doesn't tick on every beat. It was just missing beats. Very minor and inconsequential but weird. This is only the second time it's happened to me over 7 months and 17k miles. So it's pretty rare. Has anyone else noticed this?

I got the clean Air Utah pass, that allows me to ride Solo in the HOV lane... trouble is though, it uses the toll pass system and as it is currently placed, the RFID tag has trouble reading. My guess is that something about the camera array is blocking it... Living in Utah, toll passes are...

Last night I had my car plugged in at home, with a limit set for 80%. This morning I was working on my remote start problem in FDRS. Part way through I looked up and noticed that my SOC had magically jumped from 80% to 82% without being plugged into a charger! This was a bit alarming to me...

Winter is approaching, and it will be the first one with an ev for many of us on here. I'm a bit concerned about battery thermal management and haven't been able to find much info. I know that the Tesla will expend a bit of battery when parked to take care of the battery during extreme temps...

I thought this was universal to all MMEs but I'm just now learning it's not. In a nutshell remote start only works for me if one of the following is true 1) I am within Bluetooth range for Paak 2) The car is actively charging 3) The car has been driven within the last 5 minutes I called Ford...

@TruWrecks and I got to meet up today as he was passing through! Turns out we have identical twins! Who knew, you can make friends in an online owners forum ?

(See updates and "Additional Notes" at the end of this post) In this guide I'll be covering FDRS, what it is and how to use it. What is FDRS? It stands for "Ford Diagnosis and Repair System". Made by Ford for reading trouble codes, programming modules, updating modules, etc. Why Would I Want...

I was today years old when I figured this out.. how did I not know this??? Am I the only one?

I took a road trip this last weekend and was SHOCKED at my EA charging experience. We've all seen the horror stories like Marques' EV road trip and Out of Spec Motoring. I've even had a few less than favorable run-ins with EA myself. But they must be listening! I used plug and charge with my...

So I made an interesting discovery recently, just for funsies I decided to put my car in to metric mode. Everything did change to kilometers except for the speedometer. I found that odd. Anybody have any ideas why? Honestly, the only thing that I can think of is that it's reading the speed...

So tonight I decided to try out valet mode, to see how that works when you don't have an actual physical key to give to a valet.. It's actually pretty neat. It generates a temporary code to use for the door and to start the car. It also displays instructions on the screen for the valet driver...

I'm working on a go-kart project and have reached a bit of a standstill limited by my knowledge.. any electrical engineers or anyone smarter than me willing to give advice? So the basic idea is I am using an old treadmill motor to power a go-kart. It is a 130v DC motor. The power source is a...

Curious if anyone else has noticed this, or if it's just me. I've noticed this just after washing the car. When I try to open the lift gate while still wet, it usually won't open. It'll unlatch, but it won't lift. If I push the button a second time then it will go up. I thought it was a fluke...

It turns out the even the FOB isn't 100% first try, every time! I've recently had Bluetooth issues with my car, which has resulted in the dealer ordering a new APIM. As part of the diagnostic process the dealer did a master reset which deleted my Paak. I had been using PAAK almost exclusively...
