I believe what you say about accuracy changing. I just don’t think that a 6% difference is enough to draw any conclusions. My car hasn’t had an update since last August. I’m in Florida (warm all the time) and my range at full charge varies from 230 to 290 miles. I drive the same area all the...

Sure. But it’ll be a disposable car at that point. Drive it until it breaks and then is unfixable.

So it sounds like there are no votes in the “water spots give it character” category?

They probably are, but only to the extent that they’ll have to send another OTA to “fix” the broken one. None of it equals a free trip to the local dealer service center.

People have tried to debate this a lot. At the end of the day, age and miles seem to matter about the same as with gas vehicles. The engine and transmission in a gas car seem to last about as long as the battery and motors in an electric. And other than those differences, we have all the...

Another vote for the electric leaf blower

6%? That’s well within the margin of error for the GOM. It was never that accurate. Maybe it used to be 6% low? Or maybe the wind changed directions or the temperature changed? But really because you got an update, we know it’s that the driving history reset.

And yet neither is covered under warranty. The only point of my analogies is to help people understand how the warranty coverage works. I know none of them will convince people to like it. But it is what it is. Sometimes understanding helps people come to terms with reality. Even if it’s a...

This is a car forum, so you’re going to get a broad mix of people here. I don’t think anyone is saying you need a contractor. But you may need an electrician. You are painting professional electricians with a pretty broad and critical brush there. It won’t be like that if you hire a good one...

Yeah, I can see how understanding a strict warranty policy would be unpopular. It wasn’t popular either when I was the manager having to explain to people why their 2 year old refrigerator broke and they’d have to pay to fix it because the manufacturer warranty only covered 1 year and they...

I always thought the 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe nailed it for performance, looks and comfort. Without being a huge car it actually had a comfortable useable back seat for an adult. Would love to see a Tesla model 3 coupe with those dimensions.

Yeah, unfortunately there isn’t anything that tells you when the brake pads take over, but really they don’t except the last few mph or when braking harder. I drive exclusively 2PD and I can say from experience that the pads don’t do squat during normal driving. I can tell when my rotors are...

lol I have 8,000 posts since……. 2021. 1,000 posts a week? That’s hilarious as well. Feel free to dig deeper into my posts though. I have plenty of complaints about Ford as well.

You have stated yourself that the TSB doesn’t apply to your model year. You have also stated that TSBs aren’t covered outside of warranty. I do think it’s hilarious whenever someone states that a Ford policy is a Ford policy people use the “you must work for Ford” as a supposed insult. No. I...

Sure, but in the example you gave I would expect Netflix to send another update to fix the faulty one. Bad software updates unfortunately are a matter of life. It’s why everything from our computers to TVs to cell phones to cars constantly get updates and patches to fix the bugs. But Netflix...

Too bad the Tesla roadster will be $250k and/or may never exist. It should have been easy to put a coupe option on the Model 3 chassis.

That’s the thing, Tesla has been consistently horrible in any independent reliability comparison. I understand the legit frustrations and concerns with the Mach E, I’m just afraid the “grass” on the other side of the fence is just another pile of dirt. I just searched “Tesla forum repair...

For sure. Will be kinda shocked if the Camaro SUV EV will come out next yr when they haven’t even put out the Blazer SS yet. But if it ends up being a better looking, faster version of the Blazer SS, it could be the most direct competition for the Mach E out there.

Porsche just claims coasting is more efficient….. which is true. But it’s hard to drive like that unless you’re hypermiling. You can coast in 1PD anyways, but also not as easily. For the Mach E, again, the blending of physical brakes in 1PD and 2PD is identical. And in 1PD you are using the...

How? You haven’t been paying attention then. 😂
