    3 Common Mistakes That May Harm Your EV Battery - Engineering Explained

    Contact patch size is just tire vehicle weight divided by tire pressure. A wider tire has a wider, but shorter contact patch. There is no 59% more rubber touching the road.

    HowTo: use OBD-II and CarScanner to see Power Output/Regen/Charging and other data

    Thank you for this. I know Ford wanted this to seem like a car, but hell, my Pacific PHEV has more info and dash configurability than the Mach-E. I mean, c'mon. This is a great add.

    3 Common Mistakes That May Harm Your EV Battery - Engineering Explained

    You're wrong here. Jason started as a Mechanical Engineering student who's YouTube presence went from a hobby to a career. I ran into him at an automotive media event about five or six years ago. He's one of the few who actually has the education and skills and be run into who can do these types...

    Shocks wearing out at 20k miles?

    I learned this lesson over forty years if wrenching. Most of my issues were of my own doing.

    Shocks wearing out at 20k miles?

    Almost all the problems that one runs into are due to the work that just was done. Sounds like you have something loose from your install.

    Sentry system in the Mach-e

    Typical bullshit babble from people working a tradeshow.

    Power-Up 6.1.0 OTA Update

    I think they're written to just piss off us owners.

    Power-Up 6.1.0 OTA Update

    And this lack of transparency is why most owners don't know if their car is up to date or not. As someone who has run programs in Silicon Valley for decades I can't really imagine a worse way to build customer confidence. Honestly Ford SW management sucks.

    Emporia install - NEMA ground up or down?

    This DOES NOT FUNCTIONALLY MATTER AT ALL! I'm sure others probably have said this. But the electrons don't care at all. Whatever makes the cable pretty.... but me? I go 17.23795° off the horizontal. ;)

    California Wants To Make Bidirectional Charging Mandatory For New Electric Vehicles

    I was hoping for some actual useful content in this thread but am sadly disappointed. The original kit from AC Propulsion that was the basis of the original Tesla Roadster had bi-directional charging but Tesla didn't choose to roll it out. This is a great idea and will be a key part of...

    Filled up at the Shell station

    I'm one of those people. :( Also a Long Island thing. Clam shells for path coverings instead of gravel. I saw it all over when I visited.

    Ford Power-Up 4.2.5 released with HVAC update

    Why the hell they can't store and restore configuration data is beyond me. I guess Ford skipped SW upgrades 101 when they went to class.

    Wrapped my Mach-E grille in carbon fiber vinyl

    I'm sorry. Adding something that looks like a part used because it's light and saves weight just runs me the wrong way. But if it floats your boat, have at it!

    UPDATED: Replacing Rear Shocks: Reducing the rear end bounce.

    This is not true in law but can be a fight. For a warranty to be voided they would have to prove that the aftermarket parts contributed to the failure. In the real world, they can say this and it takes a lawyer to prove them wrong. But there are large volumes of case law about aftermarket...

    I haven't read all these pages so forgive me if this has been covered. In the restomod world, a lot do QA1 custom adjustables. https://www.qa1.net/tech-center/tech-articles/how-to-measure-custom-shocks
