My 2 cents : I think this gesture is to encourage people doing the recall in time i.e. preventing faulty junction boxes driving around for long. Not to compensate for their trouble.
Why not start an open source project on creating a Android Auto/ Apple Carplay app using the OBD2 adapter displaying the data in Porsche (Macan) style on a tablet/phone? (Great video by Kyle showing it: (16) Full Tour Of The Porsche Macan EV! Impressive Range, Charging & Performance Leads To A...
Interesting remark in this thread that all 'recent' cars have moved the speed indicator to the corner of the screen. Might this be because of regulations that if you use driver steering aids, these indicators HAVE TO BE centre stage/cantered (or otherwise unavoidable visible without turning your...
I think it is a mistake they did not opt for the NVIDIA SOCs and (like Geely) have Unreal Engine (see Lotus cars) as a UI render engine for it. (no joke) NVIDIA SOCs have far more capabilities reading sensor data with the least amount of latency.
The imperial metrics is curious. Is Ford implementing BC for the European market and by mistake (backend) you were part of the test? Explains the bad decision making, because in the EU I guess another decision model is being used due to different 'road building rules' (other use of yellow...
Do not.get distracted. Do you know the term "network effects"? If a standard is adapted exclusively , other businesses are denied access. In the EU this is acknowledged and there is concensus "free" market (read the evolutionalry winner) should not determine open access. This is not for the...
Maybe it is time to confront Ford with EU consumer laws. (one of the strictest in the world with extended consumer-rights tailored to German citizens) As a company you can/will be held accountable if you break promises. (which they definitely did ; their OTA promise at launch) Maybe a German...
Hold on to yours.
1. Wait for geo-politics to raise oil prices globally.
2. Wait for the inflation to go down, interest rates will fall
3. EV prices will go up again
In all other cases: accept depreciation like all other stuff
GM wants to be Apple. Apple wants to be GM. They both do not want to use each other(s technology), they want to be each other. (the lucrative part that is) Google plays another game. (We take the data, you use the tech)
In your video and Kyle's you can see lane changes without BC active. Does this mean that the rest of the world without BC will get the improved lane change feature also? Or will this be 'packaged' with BC subscription? Questions.. Questions.. ;)
This resonates as a European MME FE owner, so I feel I am in the same boat as this guy. OTA is behind (was long not existing) and problems are fixed already in the home market. I know most issues he mentioned are already fixed in Germany/EU, but he/the dealers are unable to deploy them in the...
You are in the same boat as non-US owners. (as in non-BlueCruise cars) Maybe in one of Ford's databases your car has been classified as non-US? I think Ford has difficulty creating a separate OTA path for non-BC cars. Which IMHO they should not have done in the first place ; modules should work...
What did the temperature indicator on the display tell you? When day and night temps differ, when the car goes in (deep) sleep, the last recorded temperature is displayed. I always wondered if this temp is used to heat/cool (pre-condition) the cabine/batteries or another value is being used...
