    Mach E Frunk - Dry ICE. Check out my setup. Thoughts?

    Dry ice is very different than what you posted. I thought you were setting yourself up to look like you were driving a Whitesnake concert around.

    new recall for Hyundai/Kia EVs

    I just traded in my MME for an Ioniq 6 SEL yesterday, so it didn't trouble me too much. More a commentary on how the EV manufacturers are all still figuring this all out.

    Coming soon: BlueCruise 1.3

    I am hoping the fact I renewed for the $600 deal will increase its resale value when I trade it in soon. Because of some new travel distance requirements, I need to get something with better range options than what my Select offers.

    Announced: 2024 Mach-E gets more range, faster charging + GT model gets optional Performance Upgrade: 0-60 mph in 3.3s. 1/4 Mile in 11.8s @ 114 mph

    Any charging time improvements are very welcome. I wonder if there can be any "quiet" software updates available to prior model years on that front.

    How Tesla Fell To Earth

    Okay, chief, name some names. I named two that are true believers in EVs and on good terms with Elon Musk.

    How Tesla Fell To Earth

    I would not be surprised if Jim Farley or Herbert Diess were the next Tesla CEO.

    I'm thinking more passive charging implementation will be needed to offset stops, whether it be wireless charging, solar roofs, or something else.

    Dear Ford… why no 12v battery gauge?

    I can't believe they didn't add it in the FordPass 5 beta. Seems like a no-brainer.

    Article: "Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping"

    Hopefully by the time kids are driving, recharge times on the road requiring the driver to actively do something will be equivalent to what pumping gas is today. Most level-headed people don't deny EVs will become the norm, they just bicker about the timeline.

    Regular People Are Finding Out How Bad Tesla FSD Is

    I really wish there was an external indicator that a Tesla was in FSD mode. As a rule I will generally avoid being near them on the road if at all possible. I do not want to be involved in their multi-ton beta testing.

    Article: "Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping"

    I believe they are talking about hybrids, which I know many people personally who are planning to buy as their next vehicle type. Too much anxiety (warranted or not) about range and fuel availability/charging time on the road is a major, major factor in their decisions.

    Article: "Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping"

    That's a really good point, and I agree with it. The Cybertruck is definitely the CEO's folly, has distracted the company image, and definitely seems out of place with what would have been the ongoing march to bring EVs to the masses.

    Article: "Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping"

    Lots of wariness out there about vehicle range, charging infrastructure for road trips, and massive losses of resale value exacerbated by price cuts. I don't regret buying an EV personally, but there are definitely aspects (such as drop in value) that I didn't properly account for. I also...

    Yeah, I was really appalled at Henry Ford's comments last week on that podcast. :rolleyes:

    Ford Introduces Groundbreaking On-Screen Intelligent Assistant: Meet the Turtle

    Can we get to take over the audio system and play the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme?

    Sorry to unplug your car

    I view a gift (which is what I consider a free charger to be) differently than a charger I'm paying for, but YMMV.

    Sorry to unplug your car

    Are we talking about free DCFC or pay DCFC?
