The Three Stooges were doing this kind of comedy better than Lucy from the 1920s. Vitameatavegamin was a clear ripoff of Brighto. Brighto -- Accept no substitutes!

Agree. But even if I were rich beyond the dreams of avarice, I don't think I would get a new Rolls every year. Though perhaps I would leave it up to the chauffeur to decide ...

I never had that. What battery charge do you see? Does it drop from like 50% to 20% while you dine?

Same, except I've had the car for 4.5 years. The first year PaaK was flaky, but no issues in the last 3.5 years (aside from one well-known Android security update that might have caused a problem for a few days if I hadn't been aware of it).

I call the accelerator a gas pedal, and the motor an engine (which I think is technically correct), but have gotten lectured by EV purists on both labels. I had never thought about ignition before Huntingpudel mentioned it, but I imagine the purists would not like that either.

Are we still allowed to call it an "ignition switch" in an EV, where nothing is ignited?

Both features have worked reliably for me for the last 3.5 years.

That's illegal in my state, unless the girl is over age 25, in which case, good for him! They don't like young people driving other young people without an older adult in the car. I imagine it's legal in your state and you were being a good dad. Are you still able to make the broken switch work?

I did the same thing, on the same stretch of I-80 in Pennsylvania, about 45 years ago. Except I figured it out and turned around after only 75 miles or so. If only I had known that Bellefonte comes before Snow Shoe, not after! I think it's a mistake young people make once, and then never again.

I never have problems like this, because I do not accept updates. I have come to appreciate posts like this one because they remind me how trouble-free the car can be without software changes. I hope you get it fixed with a battery disconnection, or with your next update!

Apparently, the early Segways are the only Segways there will ever be. Did you get much use out of it? Do you still use it?

I'm guessing UEV will languish until the next change of government compels Ford to try harder. Ford does not seem to be pursuing a clear strategy with the tenacity needed for long term success.

True. I owned my '98 Lexus for more than 25 years, and maintenance costs were almost nothing. I had to replace the starter a couple times, and that was about it. I didn't even change the oil nearly so often as I should have. But it ran like new for decades. My electric Mustang has been...

I remember when Segway was going to conquer the world. They called it Project "Ginger" back then, maybe 25 years ago. Good times.

Yes, I keep the key in the car as a backup to the backup codes, and in case I need a real key for a service rep or someone else. I've forgotten to bring a key to the dealer, but I have never needed the key to unlock or start the car.

I always figured the AI would get to him eventually and take him out.

You can. But I found on a dark street it takes a little groping to locate the buttons at all, and then to pick the one needed. I figured I did not need the couple of seconds of distraction while driving.

I think the safety sticker removal is the best of all the markboris tips and tricks. The Homelink button illumination looks great too, but I just put a tiny glow-in-the-dark sticker on my middle button, because I am lazy.

I hear they're using Handi-Wrap now. But at least it does come with the advanced Cling Plus technology.

Did you use the Digital Key? Any good?
