I was eating my lunch today in my car and I got what I thought was the 30 minute shutdown warning so I mindlessly clicked ok to clear it. But then I realized I had only been in the car for like 15 minutes so it couldn’t have been that. I’m thinking it was one of those random “your back up radar...

I walked out to find my car did the glitch where my lights stay on plus I felt like I was a few updates behind. I'm not usually one of the first to get an update, but it had felt like a while. So I decided to hook up my OBD dongle and check my 12v because I remember people saying the updates...

Maybe it's always done this and I'm only noticing it now? But lately it's been pretty rainy here. I keep my wipers on auto which work fine. But I notice sometimes if I turn off the car when it's mid-wipe, instead of just finishing the wipe it was on and then going down, it leaves the wiper...

It was confusing the hell out of me while driving. Although in hindsight and with headphones on instead of through the car speakers, it doesn't sound nearly as similar. But I swear it sounded like a low volume "Watch the Road" alert at the time! Like obviously not as loud or clear but I just...

So I realize this isn't the biggest deal. But I like to watch YouTube on my lunch break while eating in my car. I notice that when I have a video playing on YouTube, if Carplay is also connected and I use my phone to scroll Twitter, the YouTube video pauses until I close Twitter on my phone...

Thankfully, nobody was hurt and the damage is relatively minor (and I'm 0% at fault so his insurance is covering everything without me having to pay a deductible). But I'm almost certain the rear fender needs to be replaced and I know the supply chain has been slow. At least for a few other...

I'm guessing most of us here know all/most of this already but this is just a really great video done by a really great YouTube channel. Worth having the link to send to any friends or family who are interested in getting an EV but still have some questions. Very comprehensive but also not boring.

Does it use actual data from the car to estimate how you drive? Does it just use some average that Ford has decided is about right? I assume the latter but it would be cool if it did the former. Going on my first "road trip" with my baby (only about 2.5 hours each way) next week and I know all...

So with the recall going on, I figure it was smart to invest in an OBD II dongle and car scanner. Especially so I can look up any diagnostic codes that pop up. Decided one of the first things I should do is see how I would go about scanning/looking at diagnostic codes that car is throwing. So I...

Guest shows up at 23:40 and they mention the Mach E specifically at 30 minutes. But the whole podcast is worth a watch if you like hearing random funny conversations between strangers. The podcast is usually just set up randomly on the street interviewing people who want to sit down with them...

So apparently I got version 4.16.0 sometime earlier today or late yesterday. I take my key with me whenever I go out anyway so I didn't notice anything but someone on Twitter mentioned how they had to do that so I decided to check and sure enough... had to set up PAAK again. Pretty annoying...

So I've had the glitch 2 or 3 times where the headlights switch from auto to on by themselves and I usually notice this when I'm about to get out of the car and it beeps at me to remind me I left the lights on. I just cycle the knob back to auto again and everything is fixed. Not a big issue...

I'm sitting at work right now. Car not plugged in. And so far this morning I've gotten two separate notifications that my car has reached it's desired charging level of 80%. Obviously it didn't because it's not plugged in. And it's not even at 80% either because that's what I left the house...

I've had my car for about 2 months now and the newness is starting to lose its appeal and more of my issues with the car are starting to come up for me. Does anyone feel like they're driving an 18 wheeler the way these brakes react? Yes, I'm coming from a lighter car to a heavier car with...

When I first got the car I was determined to use 1Pedal since it was the cool new thing for EVs and so many people spoke so highly of it. Well after almost 3 weeks I decided to try going back to non 1Pedal because there were certain things I just wasn't getting used to. But now I feel like I've...

So this morning I used departure times while plugged in for the first time. Or, well, I tried to. Unfortunately the car didn't do any preheating or anything. I also notice now that I've been at work since this morning that my car's status doesn't update. Now granted I haven't done anything...

I've noticed that when playing a playlist it automatically turns on repeat so that it... well repeats the playlist at the end. It kind of makes sense to me so that it keeps playing music without causing a distraction to the driver having to find something else to listen to. But... Spotify...

I have a family friend trying to squeeze me in ASAP to get my 14-50 plug installed. I thought I would be good relying on my 120v until then but I found out the outlet I was going to use is messed up and I can't find another 120v outlet close enough that wouldn't involve an extension cord. I've...

What is the actual speed of the Level 1 charging with the included Ford mobile charger? I keep seeing the website quote "3 miles per hour" but that's vague and their small print claims thats for a RWD Mach E with the ER battery. But even that is vague too because it really depends on your...

I was lurking on the Tesla subreddit talking about the new EV credit coming back to Tesla. Two users got into a convo about whether the Y is an SUV or not and whether it will fall under the price threshold due to classification. One user mentioned that all that matters is what fueleconomy.gov...
