Even without the "mad max" setting, Autopilot/FSD will pass on the right when it finds it convenient, with no heed paid to whether that's legal in the jurisdiction it's driving in. Kind of like how Tesla's "autopark" happily leaves the car 18" from the curb even if it's in a state where that...

It'a a different beast entirely. In MM mode, the Tesla will pass on the right; will accelerate rather than yielding the left lane; will make multi-lane moves to pass multiple vehicles in one go. Never mind the extremely close following, the sudden lane chages, and all the other obnoxious...

Having owned both - this is not so. It is not possible to configure BC 1.5 so that it behaves like a Tesla in "Mad Max" mode.

Elmo Fanboi Logic at its finest. In a nutshell, why I abandoned the Tesla forums long before we sold our Tesla cars.

As a Tesla owner from 2015 until just a few months ago, with versions of "autopilot" and "FSD" from the very first through nearly the latest: it's a scam, it's made to let Elon and his pet influencers make carefully edited 30 second videos, it screws up all the time, it still hasn't delivered on...

These last two messages - multiple dealers claiming to have no appointments available for *over 3 months* for recall work and a dealer breaking an appointment for recall work at the last minute, very likely to hang onto a car for multiple days with no loaner offered for a simple software update...

I did it myself for our 2024 using FDRS. Updating all modules that had pending updates took about 3 hours - would have been 2 but I walked away and didn't respond to the prompt to toggle the ignition quickly enough ay the end of one of them and FDRS decided it had to be rerun. Also, simply...

Yes, but the onus is on them to _prove_ the aftermarket parts damaged your car if they use that as a reason for denying warranty coverage. That is black-letter Federal law in the United States and many individual states have even stronger protections, for example against misleading customers...

Can you confirm one more time that use of EVSE ("chargers") with the relevant NRTL approvals and installed according to local codes and regulations does not require Ford approval? In other words, that Ford is not in the business of "approving" EVSE, nor is use of an EVSE "approved" by Ford a...

You are moving the goalposts all over the field. The dealership did not claim that "damage cause by a faulty charger isn't covered under warranty". The dealership claimed that, regardless of causality, use of any EVSE not on what appears to be a wholly imaginary "Ford list" is grounds for...

As I read back through this, I think I got into a state of high dudgeon and was unfairly snarky to @Mach1E. Sorry about that. But I think my core point stands: a home "charger" (EVSE) pretty much cannot damage a vehicle. And @Ford Motor Company really should use whatever means it has...

This seems like suggesting that because if a Sherman tank fell out of the sky onto the car, Ford wouldn't be responsible for the structural damage, OP should prove to us all that no armored vehicles descended at terminal velocity from the heavens. When charging on AC, the only actual charger...

I am still waiting for anyone to propose a way an EVSE (again: they are not "chargers") could damage a vehicle. Would you mind explaining how this might happen? Hint: there's nothing to "short out" that could damage the vehicle connected to the EVSE. If you produce a dead short at the EVSE...

How, exactly, would an EVSE (which is not a charger) "break the car"? The AC charger is onboard. The EVSE is just a contactor and a ground fault interruptor.

So, @Ford Motor Company, is there actually a "Ford Charger Approval List"? The world wonders. Don't franchise agreements generally have clauses about deceptive behavior, brand disparagement, etc?

First gen "Typhoon", or "Typhoon Pro"? Have there really been multiple generations of the "Pro" adapter?

I hate to tell you this but a loaded bike rack is often much harder on the hitch and vehicle than an actual trailer, because of the length of the arm and the lack of any other support for the load (a trailer, after all, has its own wheels to take most of the load). It's really easy to go over...

As a customer I am entirely disinterested in taking my vehicle into the dealer, wasting my time and theirs, to try to explain to them a problem with its software that cannot even be observed in the dealership location. How on earth could this be a reasonable process to ask customers or dealers...

If there's an effective process for escalating software problem reports that does not involve demanding that customers waste their time and their dealers' time with pointless service visits, I have to say the Ford customer service team members I have spoken to on the phone appear to be entirely...

I have to say the worst - really the only bad! - part of my Ford EV experience, with 3 Ford EVs in our stable so far, has been customer service repeatedly urging me to take my car to the dealer for problems the dealer clearly cannot solve. It would be good for Ford and its customers if there...
