How the front divides the air matters. How it gets put back together behind the truck matters _way_ more. Getting rid of the wing mirrors would be the fastest route to better aero, at the cost of legal compliance here in the states. Take a look at what TELO trucks did with the Airshaper...

Any idea how well they sense / cutout if deployment or retraction is blocked? Snow piles with embedded ice can be tricksy lol

Works as (in)consistently for me when charging or not in my '22 Lariat. I do find it helps to long press it longer than I think I should by a factor of 3. But even that does not always work.

I had two false frunk open alarm events on my old 12V battery, none since changing it. How's your 12V?

I also get the charger icon next to the distance to next waypoint line in my '22 Lariat's driver display. I have never seen preconditioning happen in CarScanner, whether I am navigating via AA/GMaps or Ford's builtin (failure to) Nav App. I think OP's logic of "different icon guarantees...

My question was about physically obstructing the OEM BC camera. Does the *pilot software care if the OEM BC camera is covered?

Apologies if this has been answered previously, but forum search turned up bupkes and 120 pages is a lot to read to find an answer manually... When you have a comma device and bluepilot (or similar), does that allow you to block the OEM BlueCruise driver monitoring camera (the one that is just...

The first rule of Lightning Club is you do NOT talk about backfeeding PPOB. The second rule of Lightning Club is you do NOT talk about backfeeding PPOB. The third rule of Lightning Club is you do NOT talk about backfeeding PPOB. So no, do NOT do this.

Good to know. Thanks for the report and video about what to look for. Were there any other signs like play in the steering, different suspension feel that you noticed, etc?

I have only seen that big of a range hit in EVs from a bad alignment. A simple tire swap shouldn't mess with your alignment any unless the tire shop really messed up. Are you doing a ton of short trip driving where the HVAC is running full tilt? Even at 80 mph in 20F conditions (way more...

The problem with the one I have is the CCS release latch on top is black metal. Even while not charging it gets very hot in the sun. It was a very light "burn" that it gave me that one time, just enough to cause pain and a bit of altered sensation in my thumb for awhile. No blistering or...

I would be more concerned with the temperature of the CCS inlet. This is especially true if you are using a NACS adapter, even a UL2252 rated one. Mine is rated, and still gave me a very slight burn after charging in El Paso in 104F and full sun. Cannot put the adapter back in its case for a...

My BC one year extension ends in 3 days. I am planning on getting a comma 4 device instead. 2 years of BC subscription pays for a comma that works on the roads I actually drive on instead.

This is a great example why Ford arbitrarily setting a minimum draw is an anti-feature, not a feature. @Ford Motor Company , please lash the engineers with an al dente noodle each time they even think of leaving this anti-feature in the firmware.

Haven't tried lock/unlock... but set a charge limit in the app is broken regardless of PPOB or vehicle power status for me. Has been for several months IIRC. In vehicle display works to set a one time charge limit. But, after charging has already started, the charge limit slider is missing from...
