    Big Taycan Software Update Announced

    Nice set of software updates going out for all Taycans: https://www.engadget.com/porsche-taycans-will-charge-faster-and-go-farther-with-latest-ota-updates-082654912.html Additional range via some motor tweaks is pretty impressive. And yes, it is dealer installed but they are offering it for...

    Rivian Pet Comfort

    I like my car, I'm happy with my car. Just to get that out of the way. But let's be honest here, Ford (and Jim personally) went out of their way to talk about how different this car would be. I've had my car for a year and a half now and it is still missing things talked about over a year...

    Rivian Pet Comfort

    I would love to have a pet mode personally. It's not a huge deal for me but it doesn't seem that challenging given others can roll it out from the early stages. To me this is kind of a symptom of this car. Perhaps to my ignorance I expected and/or believed Ford marketing that this car would...

    Rivian Pet Comfort

    Just got an email that Rivian is rolling out Pet Comfort in their software updates. They can't get vehicles built but they can roll out software features. Funny the difference versus Ford. I wonder which model will truly win out in the long run.

    Alexa for JLR

    If you are interested in what might (someday, maybe, announced 9 months ago) come to the Mach-E, JLR is rolling out their OTA update for Amazon Alexa integration now: https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/4/22917857/jaguar-land-rover-alexa-ota-software-update On the other hand, getting beat to...

    VW OTA Software Updates Announcment

    Fair enough and to each their own. Personally, I would just like to see some movement after many months now. I appreciated that VW stepped up and offered some sort of timeline versus "soon" and this/that quarter. Maybe it will be a debacle for them, who knows.

    VW OTA Software Updates Announcment

    Nope, didn't miss it. I learned long ago in technology that using the term "soon" just creates questions from end users. The VW announcement gave a July 2021 date with updates every 12 weeks. Who knows if they will actually deliver but I thought it was a strong statement and much less vague...

    VW OTA Software Updates Announcment

    Why can we not get clarity beyond some time in some quarter about software updates maybe? Ford is dropping the ball versus the VW marketing department: "Volkswagen is moving up a gear when it comes to digitalization. After the successful roll-out of our all-electric ID. family, the brand is...

    2022 Chevy Bolt EUV teased: Does revised interface bridge the gap to future EVs?

    I don't mind the looks of the Bolt at all. I like that it is a small car, which is not very available in the US any more. Admittedly, we all conceded as a family that our Leaf was ugly and that's ok. We named her Hippy which is quite apt to her dimensions.

    VW ID.4 Unveiled Today

    No desire to wait longer here either. I'm a premium though and really not sure I know much more about Ford's timeline than VW for my car. For all I know it could be 7-8 months for my MME.

    VW ID.4 Unveiled Today

    Definitely can't blame anyone for making the ID.4 order. Playing in the builder I can get a pretty well maxed out AWD version with 3 years of free charging and towing capability for $10k less then my MME order. I'm coming up at $49,675 for the AWD with Statement/Gradient package. That's a...

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    ID. 4 gets 4,200lbs tow rating. Ouch Ford.

    Polestar 2 US price announced

    Anyway... Back to Polestar 2 vs MME.... It's a shame that availability is largely limited to the coasts on this one. This is another car which shows a pretty attractive lease price in the same price range as an MME. $592/month on $7500 down, 36 months, 15,000 miles. Seems to beat up the...

    Nissan Ariya Debut on July 15th

    I have to say that I like it. If it was going to be out sooner, I'd probably put some serious consideration into cancelling my MME. My Leaf has been rock solid other than battery degradation due to bad decisions long ago at Nissan. I really hope Ford is sharpening the pencils on those...

    What would make you cancel your Mach-E reservation and buy something else?

    Of everything coming out, the Mach-E has the best looks, IMO. I do not like the interior of the 3/Y at all. There are a lot things going for the Y, but the current single screen, wood trim interior looks really cheap. I'm waiting to see more info on the ID.4 and on the XC40 Recharge. I love...
