Recently, when I start the car and CarPlay connects, there is no sound. It gets fixed if I reboot sync. But it is happening almost every other time. Kinda of annoying.
Has anyone noticed that driving with BC gives a much higher deceleration score than when you are doing the driving?
I usually get something around 70% using one pedal and being really nice to it. But it gives itself a score of 95% driving like a 16 year old and slamming on the brakes every time...

I was also looking at the Lectron that has what appears to be the AC pins, but it says it only works with superchargers.
I wonder why that is.
Iāve also never charged at a public L2 Tesla charger. I donāt know what is involved there.

I have a 22 MME GT.
Not only automatic lane changes donāt work. The damn thing keeps disengaging.

Anyway, when it gets to that...
Now that the car preconditions the battery when navigating to a DCFC. I wonder if I can get it to precondition if I start the car and set the navigation to a nearby DCFC. Then go upstairs and have some coffee.
Preface: I might be talking out of my ass.
I have a 15 mile commute with a bunch of traffic lights. Itās actually pretty rare for me to be at the front coming up to lights during the commute, but for some reason I hit 10 when I was at the front.
I could swear that when I lift off the...
Looks like Iām in Unbridled, but the center console says engaged. And I couldnāt change it.
Everything on the center console was dim too. š¤·š»āāļø

I have a habit of playing with my mustache when the car is driving itself. And that kept causing the car to tell me to look at the road.
I was doing the same tonight and realized it wasnāt complaining. I even covered 1 eye and it still went on its merry way.

Volkswagen Solid State Batteries Exceed All Targets
