See my response above. You're arguing UI vs technology. The screen gear selection sucks, the lack of stalks sucks. The technology is still better. The implementation maybe not so much.
You're taking my statement out of context. I'm saying if a car's interface is at least competent...
You're talking interface, I'm talking technology. Whether the interface is "good" or "bad" is an opinion. The Tesla technology is light years better. We can argue if the interface is better or not. The Ford interface is fine. The technology behind it is light years better on Tesla and the...
It's not the "room" that's better, it's the overall position. And a lot of that is personal preference. The overall position is better FOR ME, but I get that's an opinion not shared by all...never will be. I always want the steering wheel as low as possible, for example. The CT's steering...
Seating position is better, software is lightyears better. Technology (48volt, 4 wheel steering, air suspension, etc) is lightyears better. I picked Lightning because I don't want the attention or the current price premium, but overall I think the CT (call it whatever you want, name calling...
I received the invite literally as I was signing for my Lightning, back in March. I laughed and kept signing. I could have 2 Lightnings for the price of 1 CT. I do like the CT. Not a fan of how it looks, but I like the tech, seating position, features. Price is (way!) too much and I think...
Think about it. The truck puts up a number for range. It knows nothing other than outside temperature (maybe) and current battery level. You put in a routeā¦now the truckās computer has MUCH more information to use in estimating that range number. As stated aboveā¦elevation changes, average...
I just did this. Get the OBD connector that ABRP recommends. - OBDLink CX This one on amazon. After you get it and plug it in, you have to open the ABRP app, add or edit your vehicle, then click the "link" button and follow the instructions. There's a good write-up about it HERE.
Sorta like that, yep. I was envisioning the same list we see in AppleMaps now, just with a check box next to each one so we can add/remove at will. Even better would be a "+" option, so we could add our own, but Apple rarely trusts users to make that kind of decision.
To be fair to Apple...
My reasoning is that I don't believe Apple wants to be in the business of figuring out which charge ports work with which vehicles, and then keeping that list up to date. It is entirely possible that what you suggest is true - that Apple gets make/model and then looks that data up somewhere on...
What? I'm quite certain I never implied that Apple Maps was getting route data from the truck, or even traffic data, speed trap warnings, charger locations - none of that. That's obviously coming from AppleMaps and the internet.
I'm talking about which connectors and chargers the truck is...
Not quite. They give me pct, but they ALWAYS shove range in there too, they can't help themselves. Even in the "calm" screen they show range. I don't want range anywhere. Can I live with it? Of course, but I really, really, really don't want to see it. It's the biggest cause of range...
They really need to give us some options. I don't GAF about Ford's guess on how much range I have left. ALL I want to know is battery percentage - that's solid and real. If I could, I'd hide every reference to range everywhere and just view battery pct., but Ford gives no way to do that...
Maybe, except that AppleMaps is clearly getting the acceptable list of adapters from the vehicle...they're not just making that up. It would seem the Lightning needs to "push" that information to AppleMaps doesn't it? I don't know, but I don't think an Apple update will solve the issue.
Iām seeing the same thing. I expected NACS would be enabled in Apple maps as soon as I received the Tesla supercharger priority update, but that hasnāt happened.
