Your title says "Umpteenth undercoat thread", implying you found and read all the other ones. So, what's unique about your situation? And, in the other ones, did you find any that said "yes, you should undercoat"? We've lived in northern areas all our lives. NJ, MA, PA, MI. All salt. Never...

I think the creativeness behind this is quite admirable. I myself would never use such a product though. To me, clearly it's not secured in a safe manner with one strap like that. Determining the proper method to secure it, especially in an emergency stop or accident avoidance maneuver, is...

I don't believe EVs are a political decision for most.

At a properly working 350kW charger, an ER Lightning will hit low 190s if you start at 10 or 20%. It won't drop into the 50s until 80%.

The Mach-E has the same control. There was a defective batch, and Ford replaced them. Same defective ones were used in 2022 Lightnings, but if you haven't had it fail before, maybe it won't again.

What's your headline knob set to? Auto? Turn headlight knob to OFF. Close door. Wait a few minutes, open door. No chime? If so, and your knob was set to Auto, it may be defective and need replacement.

When I'm in Canada, I leave the first setting alone. I want to know my efficiency and trip info in miles, no kilometers. I change the second setting so I can see my speed as compared to the limits.

We had 3 Chrysler family minivans over the years. They got progressively worse. We sold our 2006 in 2012(?) and I swore I would never buy a Stellantis product. I had a 1982 Jeep CJ7. When Chrysler bought them in 1987, that was a sad day (although Jeep had perfected the rusting windshield...

1,300 / 2 x .13 = $84.50. If it was 1.7 then swap it in.

90s, which it almost never would be for us. As I said, if you plug it in to charge, and the fans kick on AND STAY ON for more than a minute or two, it is hot. I would then stop charging, let the fans run just plugged in, and then unplug when they turn off and set a reminder to plug in in 3 hours.

1) The reality is that your battery is likely not hot when you arrive home unless it is summer and you live where temps are mid 90s or higher. If the fans kick on, and stay on, that is a clear signal to you. Our charging is 7PM to 11AM. We usually are home hours earlier. If we arrive home...

If you're driving 80mph you're going to severely impact your efficiency. If you read some of the threads, you will see that many people get 1.7 to 1.9 miles per kWh on the highway, driving 75mph or less. If you're doing 80mph, or more, you should figure 1.6 to 1.7. Doing the math, 1.6 gets...

Connect daughter's phone. Click on her phone, and select just the musical note icon. We do this quite easily with Android phones.

Sprayed with rubber mat works great.

A painted bed, with a mat or cover, won't rust.

We just sold ours from 1951.

Dealership will top it off while in the bumper to bumper warranty, for free. Not unusual to have low coolant especially right after battery service, due to air bubbles in the system.

The original battery is 36 months / 36,000 miles. I had both my Mach-E and my Lightning batteries tested just before the warranty ended. Mach-E passed, Lightning failed. Brand new battery put in for free, under warranty, with 3 weeks left in the 3 year period. Most dealerships will test your...

There have been numerous people that didn't, and bought, and then said "where is my 240v outlet"? I was at an EV meet this summer with one, proudly showing me his Flash, and saying "see my 240v outlet" but he didn't have one. The look on his face at the time wasn't pretty... Of course there...
