Our phone as a key on our FIRST isn't as convenient or quick as a FOB. I have to open phone, open FPass app and long press the Unlock. With the fob, we just walk up, truck senses fob and grab the door handle with sensor in it, and it unlocks and opens. POK is 3-400% longer.
Pushing a button in the app to unlock the car Isn’t Phone as a key. That’s just using the app. Phone as a key allows you to leave your phone in your pocket the same way you would with a fob.
That's what I'm concerned about -- how dependable the PAAK connection will be. I presume it will have enough range to "kick in" by the time I walk up to the vehicle to press the door button or foot-activate the liftgate. It's the dependability I'm wondering about (i.e. will it be one of those 1-in-5 times failure things?). Cell phones tend to get flaky at times, bogging down or locking up. And of course sometimes your battery simply runs out of juice.
iPhone 11, latest OS
For what it's worth, the dealer sold the extra Mach E one day after this post. Not sure on the price of course. Demonstrates the demand in Nor Cal.It just updated. $10,000 ADM now...
Do NOT disable this function, it just takes time to get used to it. You will be happy when you replace your first brake pads in 10+ years...
Yep. And timing. Peak value this month as the first few become available while everyone else is waiting. Like the lines day 1 for the newest iPhone at full price.
Close to Napa, eh? I got really excited for a minute because there is definitely a Loren that is part of a fantastic winemaking family out there.After a day of driving update. The car is getting all kinds of attention on the road. I had a new Tesla Y owner gawking as I drove down the 101. I also got lots of verbal compliments in parking lots in Napa. The car generates some positive attention, and generally people love the look. Impressive since I saw two Lamborghini's driving around yesterday in Napa (the bar was high).
The car itself drives amazingly smooth. When you are at 80-90+ you barely feel the speed. The punch and steering are exceptional. The suspension is definitely on the smooth side, tuned more for comfort than for the track.
Adaptive cruise control is excellent as well. managed a safe distance and wasn't jerky or overly cautious.
The one touch pedal driving is awesome. I can't imagine driving any other way. You rarely use the break pedal and its perfect for California stops.
Range for brisk driving is about 220-225 miles and I definitely ran it through its paces. I have an L2 charger (Chargepoint) in my garage. I added 72 miles in about 2.5 hours. I haven't tested other chargers around me yet.
I am getting more used to the tablet. It's great having the tablet the size that it is, it allows for a lot of information on screen. I use Apple CarPlay and its performed well. No issues with the screen, movement or navigation. All worked flawlessly. Phone charging works great.
The B&O stereo system sounds great. Especially when using the satellite stations. Clear crisp highs. Could use a bit more base, but that's true of any factory system.
The car is extremely quiet, no rattles at all, and allows you to just hear the road, your music or your family/friends. It's amazing how quickly you get used the to quiet, with limited engine/road noise.
Trying the wifi hotspot today. We will see how that works and report back.
One more fun day of driving in the books...
Sadly both. The car doesn't always recognize the phone as a key. Any function that would otherwise be available for a FOB, is not available.
That is awesome! Glad you are enjoying your hot rod!After a day of driving update. The car is getting all kinds of attention on the road. I had a new Tesla Y owner gawking as I drove down the 101.

Don't say that, you're just asking for someone to come in and post off topic stuff..
Try it using a known quality source (like audio from your phone). Satellite stations can be quite lossy (if it is truly a satellite station you're listening to as the latest version of SXM (360L) will prioritize streaming over satellite if it can).
