Me too, brother. When google added a reasonably accurate estimated state of charge at arrival, that was pretty life changing, and ensured i would never consider using Ford navigation again.
I use ABRP exclusively for pre-trip planning. It works pretty well for that. My primary complaint is that there's nowhere to input that you have a traveling partner that compulsively guzzles water like a fish, and needs to stop every 2 hours, thus invalidating my meticulously planned charging...
After a long trip, especially if it includes dc fast charging, my BMS will adjust the reported state of charge up or down by a percent or two overnight.
Are we sure we're looking at true power consumption, vs. some consumption + a BMS adjustment?
I have a script for such matters:
'Hey, I poured you this glass of wine, because I thought you might like to have a random glass of wine. Anyway, about that adapter...'
I think the most relevant question here is how is The Wife going to respond to you wanting to return a reasonably thoughtful birthday gift.
High voltage/high current electricity is one thing, but this person is one invasive thought away from murdering you in your sleep.
I'm not expert, but my understanding is there are pyrotechnic fuses that isolated the battery in the event of a major electrical fault. They're literally explosive charges, that would sound like small fireworks.
Same here on the comma ai. More capable, more functional, probably cheaper in the long run. Just need to get over the hump of 3rd party vehicle control vs. OEM. I'm pretty much there, but The Wife is a little more conservative than I am on these matters.
I don't have the camera washer. I'm not going to add the camera washer. I don't need the camera washer. But I watched this video, and I saw the camera washer work, and now the stupid part of me that digs stuff like that really wants that camera washer.
I'm wondering how this all worked out from the driver's side headlight back through the existing wire loom. This does seem like the cleanest approach to me, and has the potential benefit of possibility avoiding radio interference since the routing is on the opposite side, away from the antenna.
I've charged my wife's Mach E there a couple times without issue. That location also has 400 kw Mercedes chargers which are quite nice and not too much more expensive than the superchargers.
