    A New Hope? The Story Continues.

    LOL. Yes. This was the portion of his rant where I decided to just keep reading for the sheer hilarity. Incels are a constant source of creepy, antiquated, yet oddly amusing humor.

    Recall 23S56 - HVBJB Replacement / Powertrain Software Update

    Dropped our car off this morning for the HVBJB recall. When they scheduled it, the technician mentioned this was the first one they had done at this dealership. He said it would take a couple days, which seemed pretty standard. We were a little nervous it might actually take longer, as we are...

    Ford reports Q4 earnings and Farley reveals new small affordable EV Platform being developed by skunkworks team

    A few years back, before my horses aged out of competitions, when I was still hauling a horse trailer around the country, I needed an F-250. But if I could get a little Ranger BEV, like they used to build back in the early 2000s, I'd buy one.

    Soon to be Mach-E owner, tempted to be Model Y owner

    It's really up to you. I ordered my car in June 2021, and didn't take delivery until March 2022. I did have the option of making changes, based on 2022 upgrades, before assembly, so that actually worked out better. IMHO there is nothing about any tesla that is worth bothering with. So switching...

    And so it begins...

    Being courteous and tolerant isn't exhausting. It's easy to see, based on your numerous posts attacking people who don't enthusiastically support you, that common courtesy is very difficult for you. You've bragged about posting an abusive, threatening message in the washroom, instead of simply...

    And so it begins...

    The world is full of judgmental, peevish individuals who "know" what's best for everyone. Given the current state of public DCFC stations, which often have multiple chargers offline, or 30-45 minute waits for any charger to become available, it is not up to the person charging to follow the...

    Pre-conditioning

    I recently got this OTA upgrade, which occurred when we happened to be driving across country. I tried using Ford navigation, but it's a bit primitive, so I exclusively use Android Auto for navigation. I was wondering if I enter the charging destination into Ford navigation, then switch over to...

    The charging infrastructure really sucks.

    This. My dream charging station has clean restrooms, nice area to walk our doggos, maybe a picnic area if you aren't interested in fast food. When Walmart squalor is the only EA option, it's a bit tiresome. Also, adding some shelter over the charging stations would be awesome. Trying to get...

    The charging infrastructure really sucks.

    Which GPS nav system were you using? The Ford Connected Navigation? Not challenging your result. Just curious. I have been exclusively using Android Auto for navigation for the past several months, as Ford Navigation was a bit glitchy. Obviously your experience was terrible. Just wondering which...

    The charging infrastructure really sucks.

    Great idea. I road trip a lot, so have been using my phone weather app for wind speed/direction info when traveling, but would love that info next to the little temperature display. Also, planning, checking, and double checking is critical to having a stress free trip. Careful planning is...

    Any of you guys done a full wrap on just the hood? Photos if you do please

    Added PPF to the hood and side panels after a rock chip to the hood which drove me nuts. Also had them install racing stripes and side stripes at the same time. Then went ahead and had the brake calipers painted, as long as I was at it.

    odd display question - noticed that my dash now has 0km in a blue bar in the display

    Been seeing this the past few days. I recently switched to using Android Auto for navigation, etc., so maybe that is the problem. I does go away if I put in a new destination, so unclear.

    7 Major Carmakers to Launch New EV Charging Network In North America!

    Tesla has raked in billions selling carbon credits to other auto manufacturers, due to government policy, as you note. As more auto manufacturers build EVs, they aren't required to go to tesla for carbon credits. Whether tesla will continue to build and/or expand their chargers, absent that...

    "L" mode regen braking doesn't activate brake lights

    Thanks for posting this. I love Technology Connections (full disclosure, Patron) and I worried about this brake light thing, until it became clear it's only a problem in 1PD. Unclear it if also occurs in any of the cruise options. That part worries me.

    2017 letter from Ford

    The fact that car dealers benefit from state laws that enforce their 'middleman-price-markup-without-added-value' business model is another example of consumer rip offs with no recourse. Anyone appealing to elected officials, who doesn't have the requisite suitcase full of money, understands...

    Mach-E to gain access to Tesla Superchargers! Get standard NACS port starting 2025! [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / SOCIAL / MUSK COMMENTARY]

    A fair number of Ford software engineers are former Tesla software engineers. There really isn't any evidence Ford engineers are somehow inferior to Tesla engineers.

    Mach-E to gain access to Tesla Superchargers! Get standard NACS port starting 2025! [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / SOCIAL / MUSK COMMENTARY]

    So far it sounds like Ford customers are going to have to purchase a NACS compatible adaptor to use Tesla chargers. Tesla chargers may, or may not be accessible to Ford customers due to their short charging cables. Seems like this announcement will only serve to boost Tesla stock, without...

    Well, I Didn't Think This Would Ever Happen...

    Had similar experience yesterday. I noticed a red, convertible Mustang sort of cruising next to me in the passing lane, but kind of acted oblivious, as have gotten some odd hater reactions in the past. The driver then sped ahead, and stuck his hand out the window to give a big, friendly thumbs up.
