  1. Charging Overnight: Rivian Dealership Learns the Hard Way

    Yeah, old impassioned person here. Stashed is a legit observer, not an internet crackpot. EVs do catch fire and sometimes the initiation of the fire and/or the consequences are unique to the battery and e drive train systems. Some here have suggested that the cause of the fire is unknown...
  2. More secure tailgate access cover bolts to aid in theft prevention?

    I don't have a suggestion, but just wanted to thank you for working in the high crime areas. I don't currently live or work in an area where this sort of theft would occur, but there is important work to do in those areas. Thanks for doing that work!
  3. 🚙 [Discussion] F150 Owners — How Do You Protect Your Truck Bed from Scratches?

    I have the factory spray in liner. I am not concerned about scratching it because it is a truck. I have read about some folks who will not put anything in the bed of their truck, but I don't know any of them personally. Historically, drop in bed liners like yours suffered from holding moisture...
  4. Update 8/22/2025: F-150 Lightning major charging issues on road trip

    The wires that bring the electricity to your house are made of Aluminum.
  8. Surging towing light trailer

    Tounge weight too low. That's why it only happens on the uphill, when effective tounge weight goes down. It might feel like 100 on flat ground, but it's probably not. Also, turning off driving assist features on my 2023 involves hitting two buttons on the steering wheel with my left thumb.
  9. 2.6 mi/kWh?

    2.6 in hex (0002.0006) is an interrupt code in the risc version of the AMD processor Ford uses, so they avoid that display.
  10. Range Anxiety, What's that?

    As our home electricity pricess keep climbing, ypu always have to re-calculate the cost to charge from generator. In sone parts of Massachsetts we pay 35 cent kWh delivered.
  11. BYD announces 1000V battery, 5 min to charge

    You guys would rather argue than admit you are confused about two-pole circuit breakers. Three circuits at 240 volts requires three, two-pole circuit breakers. To a layman, that looks like six circuit breakers. I have a gas tankless water heater, way better than any electric solution.
