There is the same 'sweet spot' in 2PD: Take your foot off the accelerator (assuming you are in whisper).

2PD driving also uses regen, so it doesn't matter if you prefer 1PD or 2PD.

What would make 1PD able to coast, but not 2PD? I coast all the time in 2PD mode.

As long as its 240v, yes.

Seriously. If you succeed at one thing and fail at five due to incompetence/indifference, then you are incompetent/indifferent to that thing.

God, I hate Youtube videos. A 5-1/2 minute video to point out a single flaw?

Well OK thanks for telling me. And it is NOT just a 'steering aid' since it can control braking/acceleration as well. And again, if you have to pay more (not 'the same') attention anyways, what's the point?

So I'm still unclear on the purpose of 'self-driving' systems if I have to pay even MORE attention to the road/traffic/etc. than if I just drove the vehicle myself.

Shouldn't we give them a score of 11/10?

A heavy gauge extension cord is fine. I run my charger from the frunk with the latch locked but not closed all the way.

We would most likely see way higher gains if they switched to the 5 cycle test.

How long have you worked in marketing? When the car is on it is using electricity. I'm not sure how much more simply I can put it. We may disagree on whether or not that amount matters, but it's still happening. And seriously, 'boomers'?

Let's say you have to push a button to turn on your vehicle - the horror!!!!

It's been in phones and tablets for several years now, so not the boldest of predictions...

I think the real way to get mass adoption isn't in better batteries/faster charging, it's if we can get viable road inductive charging. If we can get that to work, the battery won't matter.

You know that is incorrect, right? There are many modules on when the vehicle is on, and they are all using power to be on. So much so that Ford didn't want to just have the car turn on to charge the 12V battery to perform updates because of the drain on the HVB. Using power just because...

What would make them a paperweight?

The problem with these automatic "we know what you want done and when" ideas is that they don't always forsee every scenario. For example, if I'm sitting in my car waiting for someone (which I frequently do with my kids) and I don't want all of the systems on so I don't waste power, how would...

We would actually love to have a door handle, as that takes just one pull to open, vs. the one to four pushes of the button to open the Mach-E door... and then you STILL have to pull the door open anyways. It's a dumb idea that needs to be thrown in the trash.

I don't get it.
