    My car thinks it’s in orbit (GPS update failure)

    Realistic range for driving in CO?

    Iā€™m trying to convince my wife we should go through with buying a Mach-E (deposit already placed). AWD extended range. The big uncertainty is range in real world Colorado driving. We frequently drive between Woodland Park and Ridgway....a distance of about 240 miles. The route goes over...
