    Tesla Owner Calls Police on Rivian Driver Using Supercharger

    The ā€˜callerā€™ has a bit of a point about the ā€œTesla Onlyā€ signs. Those should be removed at the appropriate stations. Mostly this sounds like a Karen-type person who just wants to control the world to work the way they think. No different from the stores of people at non-Tesla chargers trying to...

    2nd Mach-E/Blue Cruise involved crash

    That used to be a CR-V? WOW. So sad. I wonder how fast the Mach E was going. Itā€™s really too bad no one has found an acceptable (cost/manufacturing/etc) solution to the stopped vehicle problem. It would make ADAS and AEB systems so much better. I wonder if some kind of ultra-simple...

    I already used my one time re-up at a reasonable price. So Iā€™d like to get to actually use something past 1.0.

    Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

    I like having an official ā€œthis version is done and rolling outā€ post! No more guessing between many threads mixing EA and non-EA in long reply chains. Nice and clear. Keep it up!

    Did not get a Tesla adapter yet

    That would make sense. Maybe they werenā€™t really planning to have them available until when/after the new models came out later this year. So it may have just sort of turned into a logistics nightmare. And the fact that every single car maker all of a sudden decided to make the same flip may...

    Did not get a Tesla adapter yet

    I have a suspicion that the announcement of the adapter was pushed up, or perhaps making it free was a surprise change, so they just werenā€™t prepared with stock. I would think normally they wouldnā€™t announce it until it was closer to stocked or part way through production. All a total guess.

    Power Up 6.x Poll

    2021 Job 1, itā€™s literally downloading 6.14 right now. Before that was a few small updates. 6.8 was the last numbered update I got.

    6.14 - am I the first to notice CarPlay change?

    Rounded corners are an Apple thing. If they ever change, itā€™s because Apple change them. Iā€™d bet noticeable money that the image the iPhone sends to the car to be displayed has them baked it and Fordā€™s software has no involvement at all.

    Wifi Connectivity - While Off

    There really is no way to coax it. Mach Es are very stubborn ponies that will only do things on their own schedule. Connect to your Wi-Fi if you can (because why not), drive it normally, things will happen when it decides.

    Wifi Connectivity - While Off

    They seem to do both. Sometimes I can see they came over WiFi. Sometimes not. Itā€™s clear WiFi isnā€™t necessary. But it does get used sometimes.

    Wifi Connectivity - While Off

    Hereā€™s what my Eero shows. Basically: donā€™t worry. It only connects when it wants to. It usually sends a very trivial amount of data and then hangs up. Its always been like that in the years Iā€™ve owned it. Itā€™s very rare that I catch it actually connected at the moment Iā€™m looking.

    Hertz "Horror Show"

    It was a good idea. But then push was just too big and too fast. They werenā€™t ready. Their customers werenā€™t ready. But they went in whole hog. The last time I got a rental from Hertz was when my Mach E was in the dealer this winter (dealer provided rental). I asked the manager at Hertz, who...

    Misadventures and a bricked car

    Do you have an option of using a L1 charger? That will give your car tons of time to top-up the LVB.

    CarPlay was bad recently, nearly unusable since iOS 17.4

    No. But the cable is quite new, I donā€™t suspect it. And itā€™s a quality Anker cable. The inconsistency and the inability to fix it if it happens are what kill me. For example I havenā€™t had a problem since making this post. But I was having a ton before. What changed? Nothing. It can go days...

    New IIHS ratings for advanced driver assistance systems

    I agree. I keep my hands on the wheel at basically all times. BC means I can quickly grab a water bottle in the cupholder and open it without issue. But other than trying just to see once I have no interest in not keeping my hands at the wheel. Just seems so much safer. Automatic emergency...

    CarPlay was bad recently, nearly unusable since iOS 17.4

    Iā€™m sometimes in a similar situation. Thatā€™s why I live life with an ad blocker and use this forum on the web. Play audio I didnā€™t ask for? Youā€™re gone. Lifeā€™s too short.

    CarPlay was bad recently, nearly unusable since iOS 17.4

    Iā€™ve tried that and in the past it always worked but this time it doesnā€™t. Itā€™s all very odd.

    CarPlay was bad recently, nearly unusable since iOS 17.4

    Iā€™m on 6.8. I see I forgot to include that. sometimes CarPlay works fine. Yesterday I fought with it for like 10+ minutes in a fast food line and eventually gave up. Like 15 minutes later I plugged it in and everything worked perfectly for the rest of the drive. Itā€™s rather infuriating.
