  1. What the GT/GTPE should have been…..Hyundai Ioniq5 N details

    I think something to consider here is how crazy impactful Hyundai's N treatment is. For the Elantra N, they started with a potato, and brewed something that is univerally lauded as one of the finest, most entertaining performance machines you can buy today. Every review, regardless of...
  2. Energy efficiency

    Regen braking is overrated.
  3. Measuring battery size DIY (via OBD/Car Scanner)

    Thanks for the data 👍 Here is how your car responded to HVB Min temp on its own. The R-square value suggests a very strong relationship, though the sample size is small, so grain of salt: Here is how mine responded on its own: And here's everyone's combined. I included a reading...
  4. Is it OK to tint the IR-coated windshield or sunroof?

    South Florida native here. In my experience, the IRR windshield and roof have superior heat rejection to any films that I have tried. It's even more impressive considering the solid black seats in the Route 1. If you're installing for privacy, aside from the legal aspect, one thing you may...
  5. Florida Sold: Aluminum 5 Spurs dial covers: black (drive selector) and satin silver (volume) $75 shipped

    These were installed and used for 2,000 miles or so and are in essentially new condition. The picture shows the remaining adhesive rings.
  6. Why is the temp on Infotainment screen so wrong?

    2.6 kwh per 10F according to my back of the napkin :) Points taken, all. My question was more around the driver or passengers seeing a temperature reading, not so much the car. I gathered from the OP that the problem was variance between the two temperature displays, and I was just curious...
  7. Why is the temp on Infotainment screen so wrong?

    Just curious, but is there a practical purpose for an external temperature reading in a car? It's just hard to imagine how cold/hot can be an uncertainty by the time one gets into the car, looks out the windows, etc. Next thing you know, there will be a digital display to inform our eyes how...
  8. Let's Get Our Mach-E Siblings UPDATED

    Thanks, I may try this with PAAK. In the meantime, I will be refusing all updates. It's becoming clear to me that from an owner experience perspective, Ford's priorities and mine are not aligned. After the 3.5x through 4.1x sequence, I feel I've lost more than I've gained and I'm not falling...
  9. What a difference temperature makes!

    Here are some rough numbers and analysis I threw together earlier: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/winter-range-loss-in-mach-e-a-more-detailed-look-with-some-measurements.25560/ This was based on a small sample and using the car's reported % battery remaining--which itself is a form of...
  10. Let's Get Our Mach-E Siblings UPDATED

    This maybe isn't the intent of the thread, but worth considering for some: If I could go back in time, I would refuse all updates after 3.5.3. I appear to have lost PAAK reliability and can no longer see tire pressures at a glance. Every time the little gauge appears around the volume knob...
  11. Advice for PHEV replacement?

    Mazda cx-70 and cx-90 are looking really good. Both based on longitudinal rwd architecture. Phev has 323 HP and 369 ft-lb. The ice versions have mild hybrid 48v inline 6 turbo with 280 or 340 HP. They use in house single clutch 8 speed automated manual transmission. Edit: and the phev...
  12. A Tesla Unplugged Me 😡

    One has to assume Audi's marketing department knew how this commercial could be played in perpetuity by simply changing the badges for another up-and-comer versus at-the-moment current guard. Audi puddle commercial
  13. Is PAAK now a reasonable app?

    PAAK was working very well for me until I received a number of updates in pretty rapid succession, ending in 4.1.3. At this point, it's so unreliable I have given up and carry a key. Before, I would go 1-2 months without having to use the door code. Now, it will not work unless I turn disable...
  14. Recommend Settings

    Based on my experience with version 4.1.3, I would recommend disabling auto update. With auto update disabled, you can accept updates on your own terms, hopefully once you've had a chance to read up on others' experience and decide whether you want the new version or to sit tight with what...
  15. 2021 AWD Ext Premium Battery Capacity

    OP, glad you got that cleared up. For anyone interested, here what I gathered from measurements on my own car along with two other members' cars: Full story here: link
  16. Sick of the Ford Mobile Charger, recommendations for home charging?

    You may have already considered this, but are you sure it's the charger and not the circuit, breaker, panel, or the outlet? When you say it's not charging at the speeds it should, do you mean from a kw perspective or a "mph" perspective? Assuming that the charger is indeed faulty, you may want...
  17. Why people think Audi drivers are jerks….

  18. Consumer Reports: Mach-E vs. Kia EV6

    I just went for an errand in the wife's EV6 Wind/Tech AWD, 5 months into Rt 1 AWD ownership. Before the pricing and tax credit roller coaster, these were almost identical in price, equipment, and rated power. Here are some quick impressions. Advantage EV6: more responsive acceleration and...
  19. Anyway to get Ford Pass to show accurate charging times?

    My app seems to consistently estimate 40-45 minutes longer than actual, regardless of whether I am using my hardwired Emporia (usually at 24A) or Nova (32A). Every once in a while when charging the wife's EV6 to 100%, the last few percentage points take much longer, and I chalk it up to...
  20. car scanner questions

    Thanks for the data point! Your reading is the magenta dot, and as you can see, it fits right in with the other observations I had, and your battery appears to respond to colder temperature pretty much the same as mine does: More info on how I got this here
