Anyone having issues where when you push the door button the car is not unlocking? Last night I tried to get into my car, every time I pushed the button on the drivers side I got nothing. I went and grabbed my key from my office and tried again, nodda…. I had to drive to Palm Springs today...

So I know you should not do this, but I do it all the time and just noticed it no longer working. Normally when you have your car on, in drive, at a stop, and you open your door it puts it in park. I have a stupid gate I have to open every morning and realized this “feature” a long time ago...

Yes, yes, I should had slowed down blah blah :D Look, it was 06:25, I had Blue Cruise engaged at 78 (yes speed limit was 70, don't come at me like you don't speed a little), was eating my $2 pastry I just got from the gas station and drinking my Apple Crisp Bang trying to wake up. I saw this...

Just got ready to leave for work and I received a "Service Vehicle Soon" error. First time I've ever seen that one so I brought up my phone really quick to see if there were any errors there. -Charge fault 01:39a -Electrical System Drain Service 03:49a -Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power...

So, I've had my car departure time / SoC set on my car for 7am at 80% for well over a year. When I first tried setting it up and getting it to where I wanted I always had to use the in car display. When setting it via the phone it would never stick.. About a month ago I had to change my SoC...

So I finally took the good old Mach E in for service about a month ago. Ended up catching a screw in a tire and I had just hit 30k so I went ahead and replaced them. Which... was interesting.. More on that later. While there though I had them replace the cabin filter. Its been "cold" and...

https://electrek.co/2022/07/27/siemens-home-ev-charger-adapter/ Did a search and did not see this, so sorry if its a double posting. I thought this was pretty interesting though, that 220 install is always a daunting process for people.

So I've been one of the "lucky" ones who have been getting like 3 updates every week for the past two weeks or so. I was on 1.7.1 about two weeks ago and now I'm on 2.7.4. Today I went to drop off my kid at school. I stopped and told her to go ahead and get out and she tells me she can't...

So after using the ford power brick I finally upgraded. Ended up getting the Wallbox, wanted the Charge Point but it was never in stock or WAY over priced. Tell you what, at 40amps this car sounds like a gas generator, it’s loud as hell. With the ford 32amp brick it was just a hum sound. Not...

So I've had this happen a hand full of times now, wondering if anyone else is having the same. I'll be honest, I forget to plug in my car frequently and end up going outside at 12am to plug it in. So now I'm pretty constant on checking the FordPass app before I go to bed to verify my car's...

So went out to the car this morning to have to deal with this one.. HVAC worked just fine the day before, now it won't turn on. I've powered off the car a few times and went into stores and came back out and its still jacked. I suppose its good I live in San Diego where we don't really need...

So we rented a convertible, which just happened to be a Mustang, for our trip out to Vegas this week. I'm pretty old guy, never drove a sports car before or really any ICE car that was peppy, I just never had the desire. Well I must admit, the ICE rumble was pretty damn addicting and I had a...

So I noticed my back left tire was reading 2psi down from all my other tires.... Got to work and looked at it and sure enough there is a big ass nail in it.. I've read that we have to be careful where we put jacks on this car. I'm planning on taking it to Sam's Club and having them patch the...

What in the world is the trick to get this dang A Pillar reattached!?!?!! I only pulled off 2 clips thankfully, but I can’t for the life of time get them put back in.

Today, on the same freeway I drive every single day, 94 West a little past the 805 making my way to the airport to pickup the wife/kids. I had the intelligent cruise control turned on and the CoPilot turned on like I always do. It was about 17:10, heading west into the setting sun. All the...

So this week the car has started to be a little wonky with detecting objects beside me. I park in a fairly tight spot, wall on one side, and my wife's car on the other. Neither of us can fully open our doors, can only get them opened maybe half way. When parking my car it always starts...

I remember someone else having a similar issue but can’t find the post. I was out of state for a week, was unexpected so I left the car unplugged as it was already at 86%. Took a drive in it last night, all was well, and I plugged it in. Tonight I went to go out for dinner and my car was...

In coming rant.... As you can see from the screen shots below, my car for whatever reason, wants to condition the cabin at MIDNIGHT! Never mind the Detroit time zone, that is just another wonderful added bug for this software. Even if it was actually using Detroit time, it would not be...

https://www.npr.org/2021/10/01/1041987104/midwest-electric-vehicles-charging-evs-cars I dunno how I feel about everyone just doing their own thing. I guess this is needed out in the Mideast though.

Think I’ve had my MME for almost 2 months, my second payment will be next month. Was cleaning the car and noticed the seat buckle is jacking up the console big time. I can’t image what this area is going to look like in a year from now. Very poor design, that is a fairly large size chunk missing.
