they aren’t true EV platforms. Your statement is correct on some models like you highlighted. Whereas the EV6, EV9, and EV5 are built on eGMP, so while the EV9 and Telluride are similar, they are completely different underpinnings. You’re both right.

A new GT with Bluecruise is less than $2,000 cheaper than when I took delivery of my '21 GT with Bluecruise. ~$65,500 MSRP - $7,500 tax credit = $58,000 in Dec 2021 $56,795 with today's pricing. These are painful adjustments for anyone who paid at the peak of the price increases or...

My ‘21 GT had an HVBJB replacement almost a year ago today, it looks like these PNs are different, but when I search my VIN I see no open recalls and a charge cord CSP. I’m concerned!

That poor HVJB...

And my point is you could prove that to be true or not or identify exactly what the condition is at the moment of the failure by just plugging in a universally available OBD reader. There's no need to tow it to a dealer and deal (no pun intended) with their run around. There may not actually...

EVGo is capped at 50KW because they support the current Tesla DCFC plug via an adapter off the CHAdeMO port on their units, not due to the comms protocol. The "secret sauce" you're referring to is the old Tesla approach. They've adopted more universal ISO protocols (I forget the number) in...

This isn’t as big a deal as it sounds. Most all DC units have detachable (replaceable) cables. NACS is primarily a cable & handle standard, not the communication protocol. I expect most existing DC EVSEs to be NACS compatible with a simple cable swap.

This is totally incorrect. Buy a $19 OBDII reader and plug it in to your car. Unless the dealer cleared codes (possible), you’ll have stored and pending fault codes. You don’t need FordPass or a dealer to get codes.

CarMax, Carvana, Vroom, etc are all very odd algorithmically. We just sold my wife’s GLI and got a couple prices from the three over a 6 week period. Carvana was the lowest when we started then 1.5x higher than the runner up when time came to sell. They’re looking at far more than NADA or KBB...

The gap between sales and production is alarming.

I think you need to add the 4,466 Lightnings and 1,744 e-Transits

what charger are you plugged in to that is that “other network”?

Averaging 69kW from 56-80% feels about right (23/(20min/60)). We are slow much above 60% SoC

I don’t think battery deg impacts efficiency, just total usable energy (range at a given efficiency).

I had no idea that's the issue with the ClipperCreek charger at the Sonesta. I used a Tesla to J1772 adapter that I had on me and the Tesla charger there worked without issue. I always have one in the car with me for just that situation. (note: it only works on AC Tesla chargers, not their...

I bought a 2 day FDRS sub last weekend and no AIPM update was available for my 2021 GT. Frustrating that I couldn't even manually get it.

Final update for the time being. I got my MachE GT back today! 5 weeks after getting Stop Safely Now while parked (Positive contactor stuck closed). In summary: Failed 12/4 Diagnosed 12/6 Part arrived 12/26 Fixed 1/10 Picked up this morning, 1/11, with 100% SOC. A couple observations: This...

Build date of Oct 2021. Took delivery last December. It's currently stuck out in Albemarle at the Ford dealership out there. ~12,400 miles

I'd consider going but my car is dead with the HVBJB failure. No telling when I'll get it back :(

I’m keeping a close eye on used Tesla prices. With my Mach E dead w/ a HVBJB issue I rented a Model 3 with ~30k miles on it and it was surprisingly good. None of the build quality/rattling issues. It looks like LRs with similar mileage are going in the mid $40k range. Heck of a deal IMO. It...
