I know when something falls inside the vehicle, the alarm triggers - but today I watch my security cam video of a thin little branch (maybe the size of a thumb) float in from a nearby tree and hit the hood gently and thus triggering the motion sensor + alarm. Anybody think the sensors are too...
After I upgraded my Bronco's audio system and the clarity increased dramatically, I noticed how muddled the dash + center speakers on the B&O system.
I don't hate the B&O system like I did the stock Bronco's audio system so I would be fine with the stock amp.
Any simple speaker swaps that...
I recall discussions in the past about being able to transfer the remaining Options loan/contract to a new owner. Is that still possible?
My brother is in need of another car (with teen about to start driving, etc) and I thought about transferring the remaining 15-ish months of my Options loan...
Finally got a chance to test drive a Lucid Touring last weekend at an EV event (also rode in a Taycan, EQS, and e-tron GT in an autocross track with pro drivers)
It's definitely a better Model S with even more tech (the info on the dashboard screen can slide into the center console screen) and...

Saw the the gas version tonight and got a chance to sit in it. I'm smitten. The second row is usable unlike the Volvo EX30 (sat in one in early March at a dealer showing along with the EX90). The electric version is exactly the...
While I like the Polestar 2 (best EV regen and one of the best handling EVs) the sales decline in the fourth quarter is dramatic. It seems Polestar has throttled production to prevent margin erosion (P2 depreciates the worst of all EVs IMO - along with the EQS and e-tron GT)...
Mercedes has opened up their chargers in Florida at a Buc-ee's and what has Ford done to improve DC charging for CCS EV owners? Made a deal with Tesla regarding NACS + Superchargers (who knows exactly when we will get real world access) and the idiotic "Charging Angels" public relations BS.
GM...
This is a weird one but as I shifted in reverse I hear a screeching sound (I'm thinking rusty brakes as it has been raining heavily and I didn't drive it for 2 days) but as a I drive I hear a repeated clunk, clunk, clunk sound from the right passenger rear at 15-20mph and ask bystanders if they...
Half way between Orlando and Tampa. Much needed for those who take round trips between those two points and don't want to detour in Orlando or Tampa to find a charger.

OUC finished the location after 2 years. 8 x 120 kW chargers and maybe 4 x 240 kW ones.
105 West Robinson street just south of Ace Cafe (defunct)
EA opened a new location next to the outlet malls near Disney Springs. These are the first two new major CCS locations in 2 years now. EVGo...
Ordered early October 2022 as a backup in case something happened to my Grabber Blue AWD ER. So far it’s been solid so I will let somebody else enjoy this car but I will track it nevertheless.
My previous Premium orders took 12 and 14 months so wait times have halved.

"The overall investment in the charging network will be in the "low single-digit" billion euros, Källenius said.
In North America, Mercedes will partner with renewable energy and battery storage operator MN8 Energy to...
Saw this on FB. I have family arriving that day so I probably won't be able to make it.
Ford's Garage in Kissimmee (Sunset Walk area which is quite nice with plenty of parking)
3210 Margaritaville Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34747
Politicians trying to plug it

Ford doesn’t pass on the tax credit for leases so this problem won’t apply to them.
I can't drive in Whisper on non-smooth roads and Unbridled got me in trouble today (speeding ticket) but it has the best suspension settings IMO.
Can we have a UI option to pick the MagneRide suspension level? I'd like the Unbridled setting for all modes.
P.S If somebody knows how to adjust...
As I was driving home today (at 6:30pm), I saw a disabled Mach-E with yellow tape over it on the right shoulder.
Didn't see any damage so it didn't seem to be in a crash. Anybody here own that Mach-E? What happened?
I've seen post here and on FB where cars built after 5/24 (VINs not listed in ETIS and NHTSA) were allowed to be sold.
My Premium entered production 5/24 and was built 5/25 but it is listed in ETIS + NHTSA as needing the recall.
However how accurate are those two sites? What was the fix that...
