Of course, 99% of folks on this forum this is old news, but it's nice to see Ford sponsoring content and getting the message out to a lot of folks, this time through Zack at JerryRigEverything
At least according to this Colorado cop, it's a Mustang (timestamp = 0:42). On a side note, I'm not sure why the driver didn't try the, "Sorry sir, I'm still on BC 1.0. Had Ford updated me with BC 1.3/1.4 like they said, it would have automatically driven my drunk butt a little better"

Elon musk claimed in the Cybertuck launch event, "[The Cybertruck] can tow a Porsche 911 across the quarter mile faster than the Porsche 911 can go by itself". Additionally, it was claimed vaguely that the CT was also "faster" than a Porsche 911 (which some may interpret as top speed, others...
TL;DR
254 miles @ 70 MPH (vs. 318 EPA rated range)
124 kWh of energy used according to the infotainment screen (vs. 123 KWh claimed usable)
490 Wh / Mile efficiency (~2 miles / KWh)

A little change from the norm, but checkout the beginning of restoration of this electric Chevy S10 pickup. I didn't even know these were ever made. It's awesome seeing technology such as wireless charging over a decade prior to the EV boom of today, and over two decades before the electric...

TL;DR
The current Telsa adapter essentially uses the J1772 + Chademo...
This is THE MOST brilliant review of a Tesla Model Y that I have every seen! I admit to thinking most of the thoughts that the host very cheekily presents!
This is a very minor glitch, but I noticed it and was mildly curious if anyone else has spotted this. I have noticed that the "D" PRNDL display in the binnacle sometimes glitches. Normally the letters are white for the unselected "gear" and orange for the selected "gear".
When the glitch...
Well, it was bound to happen. Zac and Jessie borrowed a friend's Mach E (Andrew) for a day to "review" it. Andrew is a Tesla owner, and loves his Mach E. So what do Zac and Jessie have to say? Come on, you already know the answer. They do give some valid criticisms, but it's hard to sift...
I almost hesitate to post this at the risk of fanning the flames of extremism. That said, I know Ford watches this forum, so my hope is they view this and it spurs them to take action. Although I personally don't plan to DCFC often (couple times a year, maybe?), when I do, I want it to work...
