An economist? Nah. At best some higher level economics courses. To be clear, everyone gets to spend their money where they will and as long as their family is going with food, clothes, or other such items there is nothing for us to say about it. Just don't try and rationalize it. In general I...

I wouldn't get too high on the horse there. You spent $2500 on shocks when the $300 shocks are proven to be of quality. Yes, both are better than the $50 shocks, but that doesnt justify spending $2200 more. Just because something is more expensive than an alternative does not mean the quality...

In fog, yes. In clear weather? No

I wish there was something available for Ford. My BMW was nice because just from vin you could get the exact packages for that vehicle. I would love to build a motocraft/forscan database that included exact packages but have yet to find a way to do so easily.

Yeah, so folks like the Ebachs and a few hundred thousand sets of Bilsteins have been sold and they are well loved. Buying cheap is a recipe for disaster, but that doesnt mean something of lesser price makes it the "cheap" version. Buy what's necissary and good enough to get the job done...

Same, getting AA updated shows distance on the IPC. Thanks for the heads up! Especially glad to have preconditioning since I don't DCFC and winters over... lol

You know it's a bias not a reasoned view when a GOM post turns into an anti-ai post... Anyways, above epa rated ranges have become unfortunately common. I wish I could find the correct PIDs but imo the range number is coming from a relatively short efficiency history and most of us have very...

Look, I submitted the feedback on Friday. The fix just rolled out. I’m not saying there’s a direct correlation between my Bug Report and the Google Dev Team’s sudden productivity... but I’ll be accepting thank-you gifts in the form of Bourbon or 3D printer filament. You’re welcome, everyone.

Maybe ABRP has improved but previously I was always very disappointed in its navigation abilities. Personally I run it on my phone, using Google Maps on the screen. The only reason I use it is so I can see if I am meeting, exceeding, or falling behind the expected SOC at any given mile...

I have not dug into it but the now three different battery sizes, plus max tow, and maybe even wheel/tire size likely all have an impact. I am not aware of any specific limitation between max tow and 9.6kw ppo, other than perhaps in your area that combination just isn't available. Seeing that...

Of all the devices I looked up few or none did both MS-CAN (for forscan) and BLE except the vGate Vlinker MS. You have to switch its bluetooth modes from what I have seen, but I believe it does both. I have used it successfully with Forscan but never set it up with ABRP.

I use thr vgate vlinker ms which should work for ABRP if you switch it to BLE mode. The other benefits are that it works with MS-CAN and Forscan, it is also very fast as far as adapters go (for reading PIDs). Oh yeah, and I can leave it plugged in all the time. There is a physical pairing...

Fwiw, this has worked flawlessly for me, even when logging lots of PIDs every drive. I also recently added the Lightbar to my Pro and it worked great for updating the LDCMA/B firmware. I never did get it to connect to ABRP (have not really tried) but apparently you need to switch it from...

Aside from the plethora of double takes and conversations from the frunk the best interaction i has was right after the Cybertruck was released. Stopped at a Tesla Supercharger to top off and on the other end of the chargers a Cybertruck pulled up. I had three people walk up and ask me...

I mean... A lot of folks seem to think Farley is the only guy at all in a multi billion dollar company, and that he has dictator like powers. Hell, I only have a few guys on my team and I have been beating them up for YEARS to change their ways, Ford has 180,000 AND shareholders to answer to...
