Houston here also. I get between 3.9 to 4.8 kw/mi in mixed freeway and street driving as well. I have a standard range and average about 220 miles of range at 80% SOC (rarely charge to 100%, but last time I did, I got 280 miles). I drive in Unbridled all the time. I experimented between the...

Again, out of context and overlooking a basic qualifier... enjoy your empty victory. And, of course, equating apples to oranges. There was no accident. No harm caused; just concern. And if there were an accident in which someone fell out, it would only be partially Ford's fault. Some guilt would...

True... didn't say they would, but again, everyone misses the point. The OP said someone could have fallen out when the door opened. I simply said that wouldn't happen if that person were wearing a seatbelt. It's a simple cause/effect. Everyone else is trying to turn it into a bunch of other...

And just for clarity, in the 80s, when I was about 5 years old, my door (rear passenger) on a Caprice Classic opened while we were on a curve on a country highway. I didn't fall out. Why? Because I was wearing my seltbelt. Why? Because my parents beat my little behind if I took it off.

Yes, in the OP... I love my Mach E. Would I be upset if a door opened on its own? Absolutely. But would I worry about someone (or my pet) falling out? Not at all. And to say that someone who expects the worst and prepares accordingly is a Tesla worshipper shows you really don't know what you...

Yeah... I don't transport animals loose in the car... they could become a distraction and interfere with my view/driving/ability to pay attention. I take the necessary precautions.

You're right, tragic things don't happen when everything is perfect. Tragedy, by the truest definition, indicates that someone had too much confidence in something. We should never have too much confidence in anything, which is why we should follow the law and wear seatbelts. And ensure our...

I simply said "no one" would fall out if wearing a seat belt. Obviously it's not a good situation, but the law says all passengers should be secured with a seat belt. Follow the law, and no one falls out. If your children fall out, you failed to do your part in ensuring their safety. If they...

Um, no one should fall out if they are wearing a seatbelt... and I've had no such issue in the year I have had mine.

Then there's something faulty with yours. I give people rides twice a week. When they exit the car, I get the warning. I press ok and drive (never turning the car off). The warning never comes back as I drive another 30 minutes to get home.

When someone unbuckles, they are still in the seat, so the message is triggered. As already said, just hit okay. I would be worried if it came on when no one was sitting there, but it's triggered before the passenger leaves the car, so it makes perfect sense that it is triggered.

I've used it in every car I have owned and never had a problem with damage to the paint.

The fluid for the reservoir... I haven't had any issues, and I have used it in almost every car I have owned. But it could be that I check the level periodically on my own, so I haven't needed the sensor to tell me it's low.

RainX... and the RainX fluid. I love watching the rain drops glide off the windshield between wipes--almost don't need the wipers.

It's only a rendering of how it "could" look. These speculation articles are annoying--there for clicks and ad revenue. When they have pics of the actual car, then it will be worth discussing.

All of the EA stations I have visited (Texas and Oklahoma) charge by the minute, not by kWh ($0.32 per minute). So if I were to charge for 45 minutes, that would be about $14.40. However, I still have over 400kWh in credits because the last long trip I took was when EA had free sessions. And...

This is why I won't use those devices that monitor your driving for insurance rates. FordPass will say I cornered sharply on a straight road... worthless (and it sporadically records journeys).

$42.60 for 525kWh.

The daytime rate technically says 21 cents, but it goes down as I exceed certain thresholds. I undershot the average. The EFL says average of 14.7 cents, but I have had some bills show 13... I use a ton at night, which lowers the average a lot. On my last bill, 73% of my usage was during the...

Reliant Truly Free Nights Free electricity from 8pm to 6am! About 13 cents per kWh during the day (depends on thresholds).
