On my commute home I suddenly noticed what I thought was either squeaky brakes or some other metal on metal rubbing. Definitely coming from me, I think from the rear. Happens only when moving, even with no brakes applied. I use 2 pedal, normal mode, I don't recall driving over anything. I did...

Has anyone in AZ ordered the mud flaps? I saw an email for 20% off accessories and decided to drop some points and pick them up. But when I go to check out, I get this: And when I go to the link provided, it says the part number doesn't exist and to contact my dealer. Am I missing something?

Background and rant first, skip to bottom for TPMS part. Made an out and back trip from Tucson to El Paso this weekend to pick up the kids from the grandparents house. Discovered last weekend, when we took them out and dropped them off, that the chargers in Lordsburg are now useless. 3 of the 4...

I discovered on the road that the "chargers" option was greyed out and inaccessible to select for navigation/preconditioning. Today I tried to investigate how to turn connectivity back on (which is what the error message tells me to do when I try to tap chargers). The menu tries to load but then...

Earlier this yeari couldn't get the EA app to start charger. It just kept giving me an error related to reloading my account". I force stopped, cleared cache, uninstalled, rebooted phones, nothing worked. Waited 15 min on hold and gave up, used Ford plug n charge to get it going and had to pay...

Nice short video and no/little fluff. Most interesting part was when he compared pricing. Tesla bumped the price for him 30% over his mother's Tesla. Though it was still cheaper than the EA down the road. All prices he mentioned seemed to be non-subscriber prices.

Truck was outside overnight, low in the 30's. Had 100% charge from L1 outlet at the in-laws. Left around 11am to go to a steak house for lunch, drove 9.6 miles, mostly freeway around 50-60mph due to construction. I didn't pay attention to SoC when I parked. After lunch, it was 60F and I was...

My brother saw a cybertruck in Phoenix this afternoon. Said it came up to him near the airport on I10 and was still on the freeway in front of him when he exited in Avondale. CA plates, no stickers or lettering, said the bed cover looked black. He thought it was tinted glass at a glance. He...

https://nxuenergy.com/news/Nxu-Opens-Game-Changing-Charging-System-to-the-Public-on-Sept-28 I wish I had the time to go up and test it out, looks very interesting. I seem to recall this Nxu company mentioned by Out of Spec when Kyle went to an EV charging convention not too long ago. And hey...

I just saw an ad for the Lightning XLT, it showed 1.9% financing for 36 months + $2000 cash back. The savings just from the lower rate is pretty good.

At first I chalked it up to Ford's cloud connectivity issues. But I haven't been able to see charging information on the "insight" tab of the FCSP since Aug 27th. Is it just me or is anyone else not able to see recent information?

https://amrtechsolar.com/products/emporia-v2x-bi-directional-charger-coming-2023 Was looking to see if there was any new updates and came across this site, says $1950. @EmporiaEnergy is this a leak? A place holder? Genuinely for sale/pre-order? I'm interested at that price. One confusing thing...

My outside temp reading seems to be consistently 3+ degrees (F) higher than actual. This is after I've been driving for a while. I fully expect it to be high after sitting in a hot parking lot all day. But after 15 min on the road it still shows higher. Pardon my laziness for not checking the...

https://electrek.co/2023/07/05/ex-apple-exec-wants-subscription-services-fords-evs/ Reading through the article kinda ruined my happy Friday vibe. This guy has no clue, none. *sigh*

https://electrek.co/2023/06/21/texas-require-tesla-nacs-connector-on-charging-stations/ More options using the same standard is a good thing.

If I read this correctly, it will be a 24kW DCFC that can pull straight from solar/battery/grid and also allow V2H and V2G. I don't really need to charge that fast but wow...

Kyle gave a tour of the Electrify Expo (I really like these videos since I hardly ever go to them). There where several Lightnings on display in the video. The one with the roof tent (at 28:10 of video) was pretty neat and one that looks like they modded the front light bar to be color? I need...

I finally got around to hooking up the LED lights on the tonneau cover, which uses a Y-splitter trailer harness adapter (so that the trailer plug gets split to go to the trailer plug and the LEDs). But now the truck thinks I have a trailer plugged in at it disabled the cross traffic alert. Does...

Article from Electrek which has a link to the video. I skimmed the article and haven't watched the video yet but it appears to be encouraging. https://electrek.co/2023/05/02/electrify-america-road-trip/

Charging up in Deming on the return leg and wanted to share the charge rate I got. Will write up the rest of my trip later tonight.
