  1. TCU 26.2.11.3

    That's exactly it. We've gotten updates that have said "don't talk about this", but those are (sadly) far and few between. This doesn't seem to be a super-secret hush-hush deal.
  2. TCU 26.2.11.3

    Just received this update an hour ago. I'm in EAP.
  3. Porsche Macan EV

    A philosophical stance (your words) doesn't have to be "bought" - it's what their engineers wanted. And if anything, 2PD is playing more nanny than 1PD since 2PD is the *default* behaviour of vehicles - let off the gas/power, the car coasts. 2PD is *better according to their engineers*, so...
  4. Porsche Macan EV

    Actually, they don't do one-pedal driving because it's the most efficient way to drive an EV - unnecessarily slowing down by using regen is always less efficient than coasting. Yes, you can feather the throttle to emulate the same behaviour, but 99% of drivers won't do that.
  5. Why is PAAK so bad?!?

    Sure, but that happens relatively rarely (I guess I don't get the welcome lights when that happens?), and the door still opens after that one press, albeit after a short delay. I'm not privy to how other manufacturers do this, but there must be a tradeoff here - and my completely unfounded...
  6. Why is PAAK so bad?!?

    To pile on to the anecdotes, it works fine on my not-very-common Sony Xperia 1 VI, along with my wife's more-common Pixel 9 Pro. The most that needs to happen is to wake the car up by pressing one of the unlock buttons.
  7. Mach-E Battery Teardown & Article on Battery Longevity, Repairability, 2nd Life, etc.

    I'm pretty sure this is what people will point to when they say "they don't build them like they used to". There's a sliding scale between repairability and cost of building, between access to modules and squeezing out every last gram/litre in the packaging.
  8. 3-year old 12V battery tests "good" - should I still replace it?

    I just replaced the LVB in my October 2020 build, after receiving two warnings from FordPass about it, a couple of months apart. I've even treated it really poorly at some points (let it slowly drain while doing FDRS updates because my power supply wasn't powerful enough), etc etc. Didn't have...
  9. Join The Electric Duo for Route 66 Recharged + Ford EV Clubs Meet Ups ⚡️

    Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend! Portillo's is a great start to the trip, too 😋
  10. How the Mach-E frunk was redesigned and simplified

    I still have my dividers in my '21 Job 1 and I use the frunk A LOT. Takeout, additional charging cables/adapters (my Bosch VCI for FDRS lives in there), headrests when I need max space in the cabin with the seats folded, etc. We're a single-car family, so it's a do-everything car for us and I...
  11. EV haters get the xkcd treatment

    I seriously wonder how people manage to get by in life with so little understanding of the world around them. Seriously. Running the PTC heater (since that pulls more energy than the A/C) at full blast will run down the battery in ~14 hours. Running it at half capacity with 50% battery (which...
  12. How To: Enable Power Meter on Non-GT Mach E

    2021 Job 1 here and yes, still stuck with grey jail bars, though I haven't checked in a while to see if there's an IPC update within the last ~6 months (I doubt it).
  13. Ford Developer API

    I believe FordConnect Query (https://developer.ford.com/apis, first option) should meet your needs.
  14. New Ford UEV Platfom Specs: 48V, Zonal Architecture, LFP Battery, Gigacasting & Much More [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I wonder how this will fare for repairability for minor accidents.
  15. Re: Ford CEO Admits Its EV Strategy Failed. Here’s the Company’s New Plan

    Maybe if they actually sold vehicle form factors that appeal to a wider audience - maybe something more efficient than a brick of a crossover, or an even larger brick of a truck - they'll fare better?
  16. FSD subscription only after Feb.15th.

    Oh good, can't wait for more non-Tesla drivers on the road to be unwittingly part of a beta test. If people hate driving this much and would like to be driven around poorly, then please just take an Uber.
  17. Introducing Ford AI Assistant

    How about AI that will allow me to... manually precondition the car? Or set a maximum L2 charge rate?
  18. Recall 25V885 - Headlights May Fail (Light Driver Control Module B (LDCMB)) on 2025-2026 Mach-E

    The real travesty here is the lead time required to deploy an important OTA like this. Sigh.
  19. Coldest you would take EV over ICE?

    I'm really guessing this is where the ER RWD shines? Didn't have any issues taking longer trips these past few days. I can charge at home, so that's a plus. Garage isn't heated, but is part of the house. I did make sure to charge to 100% and precondition the battery before departure.
