I have Travelers and it looks like my automotive insurance is going up by a third (150-200 a mos.). I have a call in to my agent to see what my options are with deductibles, etc. But I'm also looking at other companies. Does anyone like their insurance coverage with someone who is currently...

Many of us have ideas on how to run a multi-billion dollar corporation. This is my entry. Car dealers are babbit-like troglodytes who haven't gotten on board with electric cars. Part of the reason, it's thought, is that BEVs don't require the same level of maintenance as ICE cars, so long term...

I tripped across a data export feature in the Emporia App. I think a few of us have one. It exports data to a csv file and sends you a link so you can download it. I exported from the time I got the device (end of Feb., 2023) to now. The zip file had five files, with breakdowns by day, hour...

I have a CA Rt 1, which has the entry level stereo system. Acceptable compromise since I came of age listening to AM radio. (CKLW!). Now, 8 months in, I'm wondering if it's possible to get Ford to upgrade to the better stereo. Has anyone done that? Is the better stereo better?

This morning when I got on the car I was 90% charge with a GOM range of 282 miles, or a full charge distance of about 313 miles. After going about 12 miles (suburban street driving - normal speeds.) the reported range was 230 miles at a 86% state of charge or a full charge distance of 267 miles...
