Still no joy with the submenus/pages in FordPass with the new iOS 18 beta today. Just finished the update and it was the first thing I checked. :(

Title pretty much sums it up. Figured it would be easier to spot than having to open the thread to see.

Saw this tweeted out today: At Electrify America, we’re committed to delivering a positive charging experience for every driver. As we explore strategies to reduce wait times and increase throughput across our network, we’ve launched a pilot that enforces a State of Charge (SOC) limit at...

While watching the WWDC Keynote, Craig Federighi the Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Apple Inc., just showed how to add new controls to the Control Center on iOS 18. He chose adding his car widget to the Control Center and then resize it. It showed Mustang Mach-e. He then tapped...

This is probably more of an operator error than the truck, but I snort laughed at this paragraph (the highlighting is mine): The partnership offer came after a Tesla Cybertruck apparently lost traction and slid — a Christmas tree still jauntily attached to the roof — down an embankment off a...

Let's hope it comes true and works. Rove bringing 40-station EV charging center, 24-hour lounge to Santa Ana Others are planned for Corona, Costa Mesa, Long Beach, Torrance and Rancho Cucamonga Rove bringing 40-station EV charging center, 24-hour lounge to Santa Ana

Just saw this article, my first car was a Triumph GT6+, so I had to read it. I know it's a concept car, but will it be NACS or CCS? :p Concept Triumph EV

I was putting an AirTag on my bike today when it got me thinking about the one I have on my keychain. I was thinking that it would probably work well with hiding one in a car. The AirTag goes in the holder, the cable loops around something sturdy and then the holder is secured around the cable...

I was watching Ask This Old House yesterday and they showed off an inductive wireless charging system that can be retrofitted to existing cars, in the demo they used a Mustang Mach-e. Looks pretty cool except for the need to attach a 2nd display. But they said that the system is really for...

Just got back from a vacation in Las Vegas. Got to the Signature at MGM Grand on Monday afternoon. Asked valet about EV charging. He said he thinks so, but he said he was the manager and the guys who drive the cars into the garage would know better (really, that's what he said). Didn't drive...

Just found and read this article. I wish companies adding software to their products (cars in this case) would hire some security professionals to point out all the flaws in their designs and don’t let hackers point them out in shipping products...

Just saw this article tonight about a car keys test app. Sounds like it‘s for developers (I read this as car company developers) to test with for integration of cars with the Apple Car Keys ecosystem. I’d say discuss, but no need to prompt this group to do that ;)...

I don't use Alexa, but know that it's on the MME. Saw this article and was wondering what would happen if Amazon kills it? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/11/amazon-alexa-is-a-colossal-failure-on-pace-to-lose-10-billion-this-year/

Does anyone know if there's a post or group that is keeping track of Blue Cruise highways? Specifically Southern California. Ford's map is just a blue blob. IF there is, let me know. If not, here goes what I found out today for Orange County: 241 toll road south from Chapman/Santiago Canyon...

Has anyone tried this car foaming nozzle? ?

https://abc7.com/tesla-driving-test-bay-area-teen-fails-drivers-exam-california-dmv-electric-vehicle-braking-system/11301803/ At least the story has a happy ending in that the California DMV is actually educating their staff. Beware in other states if you’re taking your Mach-e for a driving test.

For any of you software engineers out there, do you know if the Mach-e software is in Mach-O format? I'll show myself out :p

Finally getting a chance to write down the four day drive from Orange County California to Fort Worth Texas. 1413.5 miles, 2.7 miles/kWh. ER, AWD, FE. Absolutely love the car, drives well, comfortable seat, good storage (never could have taken the luggage I did in my old Mustang GT :p) Unhappy...

Saw this article this evening. Hope it pans out, sounds like a nice little advancement in electric motors. https://newatlas.com/automotive/mahle-magnet-free-electric-traction-motor/

I was playing around with the Electrify America app tonight and saw that the icon for Love‘s Travel Stop in Quartzite Arizona is now operational, looks like it came alive yesterday. Now it’ll make the LA to Phoenix trip a little less worrisome.
