There is a rear camera delay setting in Sync that keeps the rear camera on until you reach a certain speed threshold after going from Reverse to Park. I find this satisfies most of my trailer positioning needs.

Exactly. I was thinking a vacuum cleaner or power tool but most everything these days is made of plastic and/or battery powered. In reality, the odds of electrocuting someone with an ungrounded power inlet box is pretty low. It's not zero though.

I discovered this phenomenon while playing guitar and singing (both poorly) into a microphone that was attached to an old ungrounded amp. The circuit was completed through me when my lips touched the metal mic at the same time my fingers were touching the guitar strings. In my case there was no...

I turned off traction and stability control during a snow a couple weeks ago. It's borderline undrivable. A wide open parking lot is definitely the place to practice.

There are a lot of F150s on the road and there are a lot of people who talk to each other on the internet about what breaks on F150s. If something breaks on an F150 it's not a one-off and someone on the internet has already documented it and figured out how to fix it. All that is to say, do a...

The algorithm probably assumes a box, which is worst case scenario and maybe the most likely scenario. If you told me to draw a 15x7x7 trailer it would be a box with wheels. Your solution is great for someone who tows a lot and wants an accurate GOM. The alternative would be to enter variables...

Exactly. Don't overthink this. Leave it as close to 50% as you can for long term health. Plug it in if you can and set the charge limit to 50%. Don't worry about it if you can't. The BMS will take care of your LVB. For actual storage advice refer to owners manual. Good luck with your healing.

I haven't changed your mind??

My large internal airline employer is transitioning ground equipment to electric. I'm sure it's expensive but everything they do is expensive. The upside is lower fuel cost and less maintenance. The downside is you have to plug them in occasionally. I've never been delayed due to a dead battery...

If Google plans a route where you stop and charge at 40% I'd be inclined to stop and charge at 40%. However, this is based on my experience using Google Maps without charging stop integration. I find it to work really well. I'm not a road trippers though so maybe my intuition is off. Hopefully...

This is the gist of it. He's on your side so he can use the government for his own purposes. I have never uttered a sentence approaching this sentiment.

We aren't living in the same reality if you think Musk's role in government is transparent. He received zero votes, wasn't confirmed by the Senate, has divested nothing, is trying to takeover OpenAI, and the only assurance from the actual President about Musk is "oh, he's not gaining anything."...

I'm not convinced they did anything. I haven't heard back from them since I followed up. The new regime seems to be more responsive than the last one but communication isn't their strong suit. A low volume niche vehicle probably isn't high on their priority list.? Edit: changed "responsible" to...

Mine started working the day after I contacted @Ford Motor Company. I don't know if it was a coincidence.

This is my guess. A certain amount of failure is the cost of doing business. A truck isn't an airplane.

Thanks for doing the research. I don't think we need to get further in the weeds. My point is that Elon Musk has a giant conflict of interest and some recent federal policies seem to be favorable to his personal interests. That tends to piss people off.

Yeah, that sucks. The dealership where you dropped off your truck clearly doesn't want your business, hopefully you have better luck with your selling dealer. Please name the dealership who didn't help you so the rest of us can avoid it.

It's not range, it's expected range and if it says "345" it's possibly a random number generator.

Can't post the whole article. There are probably other articles from around that time that explain it.

Tesla will open some of its fast chargers, which had been exclusive to its customers, to all electric vehicles by the end of next year, the Biden administration said on Wednesday as it announced a broad effort to improve charging and encourage more people to buy battery-powered vehicles.
