    State safety inspection

    It's finally time to renew my registration. I know we don't have to get the emission inspection obviously, but do you know what they do for our cars for safety inspection in Texas? I'm seeing conflicting things on the internet. Trying to see if I can get away with just going through a quick...

    No more turn by turn on dashboard for Apple Maps?

    Anyone else noticing this? I think it started after the latest OTA. I can't even tell what the update is because it just says "We're unable to retrieve update details right now".

    Servicing in Houston

    I'm FINALLY getting to 10k (I don't drive much) and should be scheduling the 10k service (and probably all the recall stuff I've been putting off). Do any of y'all have good first hand experience with a dealership in Houston? I live in Montrose and the closest dealership I think is Tommy Vaughn.

    Walk away lock no longer working

    Anyone else experiencing this? I thought maybe it was because the bluetooth is better on the new iPhone, but it NEVER locks now.

    Navigation turn by turn bug

    I'm pretty sure this is from the new OTA 2.3.0 but I noticed that on the turn by turn on the instrument cluster, it sometimes doesn't show the distance till the next turn and just displays 0 mi. This is a new bug I've noticed since the update. Anyone else seeing this? I use Apple Maps for my...

    Charge % @0% but range @ 0

    I just drove across a -20 degree tundra for 180 miles and my charge says 0% and my range says 0 miles and I am stuck. I was promised 270 mi of range so I'm expecting the charge to go to -50% and give me 90 more miles. Please help.

    [Help] Favorite tic-tac-toe strategy?

    I don't know about y'all, but I've called in sick for work today so that I can sit in my car and play tic-tac-toe for 8 straight hours. I believe this is the pinnacle of auto-making achievements in the 21st century. I am still pinching myself I am able to play freaking TIC-TAC-TOE in my CAR...

    My Journey not saving

    My journey stopped saving. I have everything turned on and connected and it even gives me the notification after a drive that it’s saved the journey but when I go pull it up, it’s not there. Anyone have this issue before?

    Any good travel cases for the mobile charger?

    I do use the mobile charger quite a bit and the bag it came with sucks. A hard case one would be nice. Something like this (doesn't seem available): https://www.defa.com/product/econnect-premium-ev-type-2-cable-bag-mode-3/

    SecuriAlerts is annoying

    For some reason, it alerts me for EVERY door opening and thinks it's unauthorized. I wonder if it has to do with me using the FOB and PaaK at the same time. I'll just turn it off for now. Is anyone else seeing this?

    Features or quirks you've noticed that you didn't know existed before ownership?

    There's usually some version of this thread in most model-specific forums. I apologize if this already exists, if it does feel free to lock and merge. I'm in week two and honestly I've researched everything so thoroughly before there hasn't been many surprises so far except maybe that the car...

    Quart-Z the Mach-E

    Finally able to pick one up. It is a AWD Premium ER carbo gray Mach E. Sale was smooth, no games at Cook Ford in Texas City, TX, and not much to say so far except I’m head over heels and can’t wait to drive it more. EDIT: debadged, black wheels, red calipers, and tinted

    What known issues to look for in a test drive?

    I am possibly buying an AWD premium ER tomorrow if the test drive goes well. Are there any specific things I should be looking for that should be a "dealbreaker"? I won't be using PaaK much and I know that's a very common issue, but anything else obvious I should be looking for (sounds...

    Buying a demo

    I have been talking to a dealership who is willing to sell me a demo premium AWD as soon as it hits 2000 miles with no ADM. I am willing to take this deal but I just wanted to make sure I will be able to qualify for the tax credit. They assure me it hasn't been titled and therefore should be...

    [EDIT: Frustrated no more] Frustration in Houston

    Last week I flooded my car (BMW M340i) and totaled it and have been looking into the MachE's as replacement. I obviously need a car right away so ordering is not an option so I've been looking at the ones on the lots around Houston. I've been frustrated by a few things: 1) every dealership seems...
