25,069 miles and @95% SOH.
Batt age showing at 26.7 mos., which must be when the system controls were functional. Assembly line work was complete by 7/9/21, but was moved to a staging lot until 9/19/21 when the final chip(s) was/were installed and the bill of lading created.
Didn't load...
When I rolled in, they didn't want to believe the latch was no-op, so they ran through whatever SOP they had for figuring it out, regardless of what I said. I explained I had driven 20 min. to get the car too them and my scanner showed the LVB SOC was at 76%, but nothing deterred them.
That...
Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me. Used Fordpass to open the run, and tossed my computer and lunch in, the same as I've done for two years now, and noticed the hood didn't fully latch. Tried all the usual tricks, pushed down firmly, no latch, tried the internal level, no tension no...
It wasn't clear from the vid whether the Tesla had an internal frunk emergency release button/lever and I don't recall seeing it discussed. I wonder how that might play on an MME equivalent mechanism, particularly from a liability standpoint.
As for the device itself, meh. I use my frunk...
Will this turn the car off after a remote start in the same way the FP app button does? It is nice to be able to dump gear in the frunk while the interior continues to be heated/cooled, which requires pushing the start button before manual frunk release.
I took my 4XP into the shop a week or so ago due to brake system error messages and while there they installed the CSP. It took more than a full day of updating to bring all the modules up to spec, I have a very early Job 2 model. I'm not sure if it was coincidence, or a result of the CSP...
FWIW, I just got a successful 5.1.1 update announcement today. I don't know what part of the distribution that must be, but it has to be out there on the tail, I'm guessing. 🤦♂️
What brought me to this thread is that it's happening too me now as well. Mainly not until I'm at least 15 min. into a commute and anecdotally, it seems to be in a location where cell service is spotty. Seems like it started after the 4.x OTAs.
The basic question this and many other similar threads beg is what would you be willing to pay, on top of your direct costs, to guarantee you had a hassle free, minimum transit time trip? Remember Kettleman City? One where the recharge stations had a working charger with your name on it when...
Although I agree with the basic arithmetic and critique that has been raised here and elsewhere about the substantial power and energy requirements to convert the US fleet from ICE to BEV, clearly this isn't going to happen overnight, and further there is a lot of academic thinking on how power...
The difference seems obvious to me. Tesla saw infrastructure as essential to their business model, whereas, EA was VW's penance for having lied about "clean diesel." Tesla bought in, VW couldn't wait "to be done."
Almost every major manufacturer claims they will eliminate ICE from their lineups by the mid-2030s. If BEV is *the* platform for ZEVs, and I don't see fuel cells overtaking anytime soon, (if you want a long haul nightmare try a Mirai) then the infrastructure has to massively mature to where...
The video below, reposted in another thread over a year ago, illustrates the long haul grass ain't any greener, just another shade of grey.
The solution isn't simply more taps, which, of course, is necessary, but a different approach to long haul traveling in the age of 65-75 kWh legs. Seems...
Okay, make it a 1 min parking sign, it's not happening at a fuel station. Rather than developing dedicated charging stations, companies like EA or EVGo are dropping towers in existing lots, which just begs the ICE crowd to act passive aggressively.
I'm lucky to live in an EV friendly region...
