I've only had this once (battery dropped from ~80% to ~40% after only ~5miles), a couple months ago, but: *Car had been soaking in below zero temps all day *LVB was on its last legs *I had that update that wreacked havoc on charging (pump always running, HVB loses charge while charging, terrible...

TSB 24-2020BC Some 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E vehicles built on or before 24-Jun-2023 may exhibit a condition where the vehicle exhibits slow driving or drives in reverse while using Bluecruise (BC) after an over the air (OTA) update. We broke it OTA, but you must come in for the fix Edit to be...

Seriously. InsideEVs are ICEholes now?!

I heard something similar once when I went over a bump in the road on one side of the car. Feared it was glass, but never noticed any damage, and I presumed it was the adhesive that binds the glass to the frame cracking (brittle due to it being cold out) due to slight frame warping.

Same boat for me. The last two winters, L1 worked fine for me. This winter, not so much, thanks to the "fixes"/bugs introduced in updates

Love it that this thread on tire inflators devolved into a discussion of English pronunciation shifts just due to a Brit posting

Aren't the Mach E fobs Ford's motion-sensing variant that stop transmitting if the fob hasn't moved for 40 seconds? Granted, no idea how sensitive they are to movement/vibrations.

Same here. After the litany of "get ready" updates, mine seems to think it's charging L2 (ridiculously short time estimates and the cooling pump or something is constantly running) when it's just on L1. Disconcerting, but thus far, at least it actually charges (unlike the folks in the related...

That's nice. Now if they could only make these rotatable to landscape for watching stuff while charging...

Eh, to each their own. I personally prefer what we've got, compared to these elephant ears

It's so quiet, if you told me there isn't actually a sound, but is rather our brains assuming there is one due to years of driving other cars, I would half believe you

Yup, I realize this*. But when we're talking about -10c, "only to ambient" is no joke. *Which is technically wrong: evaporative cooling is a thing, and can take you down below ambient to the wet bulb temp (although generally your car is dry, plus at subzero temps, the effect is much smaller).

The range testing was done Real-world would cut these improvements down significantly, no? Sounds like this was a car sitting still (relative to air) in a cold box. Actually driving through below-freezing air at 50mph (or whatever) would sap the heat out of the battery (and cabin) pretty quick...

Looks like mine updated this morning. Probably why my car said "no key detected" until I launched FordPass, but aside from that, no issues

On mine, you very much have to press the button down to enable, and it is evident when the button is pressed (the resistance and movement is significant). Please no! I turn on and off CC/BC multiple times on my drive. I don't want to have to hold it for two seconds each time

I went with the Thinkware U1000, as: *Well-reviewed *Dual cam with good sensors *Has wifi capabilities *Has low-power parking modes I'm definitely happy with it. I also set up a script to auto-upload all the files to my NAS each day, so I don't have to deal with the app or take out the SD card...

For about ten seconds, I feared the dealer left some big metal thing under my car, and I was scraping it along as I drove out of the dealership. "Ohhh, they probably left the spring blocks in". Yup...

Wow, I knew like heisnuts said these would be expensive to replace if they died, but it's a bummer you can't simply replace the headlight cover if the only problem is a crack in it.

I've gone touchless ~12x, and that hasn't happened to me (yet). It has stripped the paint off my crappy bumperplugs, though...
