  7. Ford wins best tech award

    This might explain why it’s taking so long to get software improvements. Apparently Ford’s software team has been focussed on developing an award winning infotainment system for the 100’s of Lincolns they sell instead of for the millions of Fords...

    Ionna is a new joint venture between 8 car makers including GM, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, Stellantis, Honda, Toyota, and BMW. When they announced the startup in February they said they planned to roll out 30,000 chargers by 2030. At the time is sounded like a stretch but after attending the soft...
  9. ABRP now integrated with CarPlay on IPC

    I don’t know if this has been discussed (didn’t find it in a search) but this weekend I noticed that ABRP now shows directions on the IPC just like Apple and Ford nav. In the video you can see the next turn between the temperature gauges and then it takes over the center display when you are...
  10. Ford Mobile Charger Internal View

    Someone on the MachE Facebook page posted some photos of the inside of the mobile charger. Their charger failed so they cut it open to see if they could identify the problem. Apparently the unit is sealed and cannot be opened without destroying the case.
  11. GM Gets Access to Superchargers

    I saw this on Twitter this morning. It looks like Tesla has opened to GM vehicles.
  12. NHTSA recalls Lectron NACS Adapter

    Lectron is recalling their NACS charging adapter due to a defect that allows the NACS connector to be unplugged without stopping the charger. https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=24E033 You can see the video that led to the recall here.
  13. Charge Port Lights

    Someone on Facebook reported that their charge port lights were not coming on. I remembered that there was a setting to turn them off that is referenced in the manual but he couldn’t find it on his Pro and I can’t find it on my Lariat. Did this setting get removed in a SW update or are we...
  14. Lightning Police Vehicle

    I ran across the following post on Facebook from mayor David Mitchell of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The town of Bridgewater has been using a Tesla for the last year and a Lightning for six months. It’s an extremely well written summary of their experience so far and it has been very positive. So...
  15. Filtering Chargers in Apple Maps

    I’m using the new Apple Maps integration for the first time this week and I can’t find a way to filter charge stations. I want to just see DC fast chargers but it shows all level 2 chargers too. When I look at the settings it has both J1772 and CCS listed and you can’t change it. I’m trying to...
  16. New Year’s Resolution

    If you’re looking for a New Year’s resolution make sure you learn the difference between a kilowatt (kW) and a kilowatt-hour (kWh). ?
  17. Duke Power NC Charging Trial

    There are several forum members who are part of the Duke EV Complete Home Charging Plan so I wanted to start a thread where we can share experiences. As part of the plan we are able to charge up to 800 kWh per month for a fixed charge of either $19.99 or $24.99 depending on your location. If you...
  18. Capital Ford Raleigh NC Service

    There are plenty of horror stories on here about dealers so I thought I should post about a positive experience. I contacted my SA at Capital back at the end of September to get the lightbar, dash mat, BECM, and heated steering wheel updates done. They got the parts on order and contacted Ford...
  19. Americans can’t handle the Metric system.

    Apparently that’s what 10 microns looks like.
  20. Drive Electric Week-NC State University

    I attended the Drive Electric Week event held at NC State on September 27. It was my second event there and between the two I’ve gotten to check out a pretty wide variety of EVs including a Rivian. I can definitely say that I picked the right EV for me. After experiencing the Lightning Frunk I’m...
