    Value Went Up!

    I did the "Not Sure" option when asked.

    Value Went Up!

    I have slightly less miles at 22,550.. but still wouldn't think they'd be that close given the original price gap.. but who knows, the market's weird.

    Value Went Up!

    $30,264 is for the GT? :oops: Carvana just gave me a value of $29,600 for my '21 Premium FE.

    Charge Assist (Public Charging) Feature is Rolling Out!

    What I didn't like about it when testing was that it felt like a web app that was put into the UI. Didn't seem well integrated in that way and couldn't use while moving. Really should be part of the Navigation app and be seamless. Should also include the discounts that memberships provide for...

    Charge Assist Coming Soon?

    Based on the video, I wish Charge Assist was something designed to be more integrated with the UI. It comes off as a web browser view within the Sync system and just doesn't seem polished. Functional? Sure. But there really should be a better executed effort from the software side of things.

    šŸ“ˆ Mach-E Q2 2023 Results: 8,633 Sales / 38,497 Produced

    If not official, everything does point in the direction of BC 1.2 going to all vehicles. They raised the price of BC. They extended the 2021 BC free trial dates. It's still a 1.x version and not a 2.x. BC would flop significantly if they abandoned the 2021's. Based on their sales numbers, it'd...

    Ford should retrofit all previously built Mach-E with Tesla NACS charge port

    Granted, different companies so they could do different things, but Rivian is taking the approach of giving free adapters to those with CCS ports.

    BlueOval Charge Network Trial Extended

    I'm on the BlueOval EA charging plan currently, and when I went to the BlueOval page, it said I could activate the 3 year trial. Now my bar looks like this: When I click on "Upgrade" it just does an error, maybe because I just activated or because it's wonky. But my description does mention...

    So, I got an email this past week that my complimentary BlueCruise subscription is about to expire, and it got me thinking…

    Iā€™d have no problem with B if they actually did A. But when it comes time to renew and Iā€™m left with the same features as when I initially got it then thereā€™s no point in mean giving them money. I want to give companies money for features and things I enjoy, but itā€™s dumb to give them...

    So, I got an email this past week that my complimentary BlueCruise subscription is about to expire, and it got me thinking…

    With the feature fragmenting they're doing on newer models with BC 1.2, it's frustrating more so than anything for older models. I also don't get why it's a subscription in the first place. When it's active, is it actually doing anything that needs a connection? I'd assume it downloads a map...

    New Mach-E LFP Battery Specs Revealed

    I guess thatā€™s great for the used car market but by the time Iā€™d reach 1000 or 2000+ cycles I personally probably wouldnā€™t have my vehicle anymore. As great as it is to have a vehicle that can update, being a tech person Iā€™m also aware that every few years or so thereā€™s going to be a major...

    New Mach-E LFP Battery Specs Revealed

    But do we really expect Ford to lower the price of the Mach-Es because of this? People keep saying cheaper, but how much cheaper, and will Ford actually lower prices or keep it the same? They've already mentioned they're losing money on each Mach-E. Unless they change some things, this just...

    BOCN Subscription Expiration

    I know the P&C part is not EA, but I was invited to the membership portion of BOCN. It cost $50 for the year. I was just listing exactly how I utilize it (because thatā€™s what he asked) by just plugging it in and getting the discount thatā€™s part of the membership.

    BOCN Subscription Expiration

    My personal experience with it has been 1) pull up to EA station, 2) plug in, 3) thatā€™s it. I never have to press a button.

    BOCN Subscription Expiration

    Iā€™m in EA for it. Itā€™$50/yr for plug and charge and the same discount as the direct EA pass.

    Was on 3.5.4.2 about a week ago, and now have been updated multiple times, finally landing on 4.1.2 today!

    The ‘next-generation’ of CarPlay is launching this year; here’s everything we know

    I am definitely crossing my fingers for it to be quicker this time around. Like you said, it being more software-based should expedite it šŸ¤žšŸ»

    The ‘next-generation’ of CarPlay is launching this year; here’s everything we know

    It took years before CarPlay ended up actually being in vehicles people bought, and even longer for wireless CarPlay to be a thing. Iā€™d be real surprised if Ford was actually an early adopter of this. Iā€™d expect it to be more of a thing come 2025-2026 time frame. These types of big companies are...
