I had issue with the sign recognition and automatic speed adjustment. So I turned off the automatic speed adjustment and just check the little speed limit sign on the dash board.
The system will read signs on adjacent or crossing roads and then drop from 35-20, or in one place regularly goes...
Don't get me started on people driving 2 ton machines. I have that worry about my mom and her neighbors daily.
Most of what you say needs to be done for an ICE, most people have done at their service center. Some enthusiasts do fret over oil, tires, etc., and do the work themselves. Many just...
The whole charging to x% thing seems rather goofy to me. Like, whom only fills their ICE vehicle to 50% or 90%?
the vehicles have sophisticated battery management software, like your smart phone or computer, which can limit battery damage/wear. It already slows down charging speeds at near...
Like others, I have my charge station mounted near the door of the garage. And unlike others, when the slab was poured it dropped off at the same side so I can leave the cable on the ground and fully close the door without crushing the cable. Rather fortuitous shoddy concrete work.
I took a longer trip this weekend to drop my daughter off at college and decided to give ABRP a try. I was not as impressed as I had hoped to be (my copilot as well).
Some naïveté on my part, but I had assumed it would retrieve my vehicle battery data just like Maps does on my iPhone. Alas that...
I agree that the HVAC system in Ford vehicles is not that smart. Recently had a Cadillac rental and the vehicle turned on the heater, heated seats and steering wheel when it was cool (low 60's in the morning) and then in the hot muggy Midwest afternoon switched to the AC and seat ventilation...
Not mine, but I live just down the road in Portland. Came out to the parking garage the other night and another Antimatter Blue Lariat was parked next to my Antimatter Blue Lariat. We seem have a lot of Lightnings out here.
I have not had experience with the 12" screen. I would appreciate having buttons for the seats/HVAC. The 15" works well but can be laggy.
I installed a "screen protector" on my screen and the fingerprints are much less of an issue. Likely some sort of magic.
Glad you love your truck. Most of us on this forum do as well.
Would be great to have better software and update processes. I deactivated the speed sign recognition/speed adjust because it was so erratic. The cameras see signs on side roads, or some times read other randomness as a road sign...
I did not air down the tires, but did have some worry I would get stuck. Only reason I did not was I forgot to pack my inflator. That, and there were a bunch of Subaru/CRV/Toyota CUVs on the beach. I figured if they can do it so will I.
I would be interested to see what people can safely air...
I forgot to take a photo of the dash. I drove home from the Oregon coast yesterday just over 100 miles on rolling 55 mph state roads and arrived home with mileage of 2.9 mi/kwh. Yes, I did the speed limit. Temps were in the mid 70's. GOM said I would have 19% SOC on arriving home and I arrived...
I like the LKA. As stated above, it is like having a co-pilot. I had my first car with adaptive cruise control nearly 18 years ago and have grown to like the assistance features to the point that I use them every drive. Nothing in them makes me do anything. I find the intrusions minimal. Early...
I am in Scotland on vacation and was given an BYD PHEV rental, SUV. The thing is built well and drives quite nicely. Main gripe, the seat cushion is a bit short and firm for my American butt, especially when compared with my Lightning.
Also, would recommend against Enterprise for rentals here...
I also live in Portland and have found a stretch of Broadway where the system occasionally thinks the speed limit is 80. Near a gas station, so their sign might be leading to confusion.
I also find that it reads the speed signs on side roads which here are 20 mph, and so the truck will want to...
Two questions here:
1) how do you leave the vehicle running and leave/lock the vehicle? What about the key?
2) why run the AC when shopping instead of just logging in to the app and starting climate control when heading back out to the vehicle?
