https://www.ksat.com/business/2024/04/11/driver-of-electric-ford-suv-was-using-automated-system-before-fatal-texas-crash-investigators-say/ The Pennsylvania State Police said Thursday that a Mach E was in the left lane when it struck a stationary Hyundai Elantra that earlier had collided with a...

Yeah well my other vehicles are a Honda Fit and... my cargo ebike so I have a fair bit of hostility to oversized emotional support vehicles pickups for some reason.

+1 to weight based annual registration fee. Including for large trucks. Fee based on damage a vehicle of that weight (fully loaded weight) is expected to do to the road. That could probably just be "fee based on what weight class the vehicle is" and that'd be good enough for government work. As...

Same. We've talked about using it and never have. With the 360 camera (which is gold) there's not a lot of need for park assist. Although the best park assist is just driving a smaller car. In our honda fit I just pull forward into parallel parking spots. I do not live in Chicagoland so spots...

I love, love, love, love that they parked in the wrong spot and blocked a charger stall for the press release, @Ford Motor Company! Well played.

Necro, but... I want the 12v to turn off. When I plugging in a test device (120V adapter) in the trunk it seemed to stay on even after I shut the car, locked, and walked the key away from the car (and then walked back). Am I just impatient and needed to wait longer? My use-case is getting some...

Lots of people like to complain about EV tax credits and quietly ignore the substantially larger subsidies that go into ICE cars (... and consumer prices everywhere, since they are artificially lowered by said subsidies). There's no world a grand reset works in. The shock to the economy would...

Yep, same way all the subsidy support for oil or the farm bill do.

Without proof -- ie, 1.3 on my mustang -- that it handles interstate on/off ramps without disengaging, even $200/year is a hard pass.

Of note: ford has a $100 rebate, if you had the tires done through a dealer. I did because I was in for 20k and don't have a local DiscountTire (and maybe don't want to be the one an hour away's first MME tire swap given the horror stories...) Nice online form fill for it. +1 on that!

Just got a set of these put on Monday and its like I'm driving a whole new (and much better) car. Kinda makes me want to go track it again, but then again if I burn up the tires doing that, that'll double the cost (or more) of that...

Okay I don't get the vented seat thing. We had a loaner lincoln mkx with those when the MME died, last summer, in Illinois. In theory this should have been ideal. In practice, turning them on made both my wife and I convinced that we'd split our pants (jeans) and didn't honestly do that much...

So... I didn't read all 20 pages. Are there any hints in the NHTSA report of if this is a "don't drive" recall? Because "will take years" and "don't drive" especially on a BEV where the B degrades with time... Yeah, I'd be real pissed.

So I read the thread and confirmed my 21 Job 1 is in the recall and I'm... still not 100% clear if this is (yet another) software fix, or if this is a hardware replacement. The wording on the recall would imply the latter to me? If so, how long does it take to get it done (not the waiting on...

I was going to guess school zone but hard to know. My spouse wants a "bong log" icon up top you can hit where it tells you when and why it bonged at you.

On the web, discount tire wants $1241 and I'm not clear if that includes alignment. If it does they certainly aren't being obvious about it being included. Plus an hour's drive, since I don't have a store local to me. Free rotations and repair is less useful than it could be due to that...

I'm thinking about having the dealer I'm going to for 20k service put on a set of these. Quoted at $1500. That seems a bit high based on 240/wheel, but means I should have no worries about a bozo lift-job wrecking the car... I'm glad to hear good things about wet performance. The recent light...

AAaaaaarrrrgh. This is so annoying.

I can't imagine why he didn't pre-condition the battery. That's only the most important question about being able to use an adapter -- how fast? If 73 kw is the best you're going to pull, then that's okay for emergency charging but pretty useless on a road trip. It might well be faster to wait...

Really? What fantasy world do you live in? I can come up with four folks with BS only who work FAANG from my college days. Of the same folks (eg, friends in college in CS) I know one who has a MS who used to work at FAANG, although he no longer does. I don't work in FAANG, but I do work in...
