This really is about the definition of "share."
Providing a datapoint to enable a function is a completely different proposition to providing a datapoint that the recipient gets to keep, sell, or build into a product they own after they're done providing the function you wanted. You should, and...
My personal experience is the EA stations are the ones you look for. First of all they work with BlueOval plug-and-charge, which has been 1000% rock-solid in my experience. Plus they have a higher ceiling. Yeah you might only get a fraction of the rated charging rate. But if you go to the...
I'm adding you to my short list of people I'd be happy to purchase a used vehicle from.
One of the reasons I picked the Lightning over the Rivian was that at the expected production volumes I think that we will have good aftermarket part support. I'm envisioning this tray as a Dorman part...
There are no features in FordPass that require Ford to keep a history of users' location data. There are no features in FordPass that require Ford to sell the data either.
I needs to be illegal to tie the permission to sell your personal data with unrelated features. It should be illegal to...
I'd like to add that I've never had a situation where I couldn't see a car AND the blindspot light wasn't on. But my brain just doesn't process that little yellow light as fast as it does seeing a car in the mirror.
I find that I need to move the mirror farther out than typical to have any chance to see, and the cutout at the bottom of the mirror results in small cars close to the truck being invisible - not visible in your rear view, and haven't moved into your side field of view yet. If you pull the...
Having to sign into the app a second time or move over one stall should be considered success though. Have you never had to re-swipe your card at a gas station? And everything gets flakier once you involve some stupid app designed to track you first and provide the service you want second. I had...
I'm not sure we're actually disagreeing. My assertion is that for the statistic to be that bad you have to apply qualifiers like "on the first try" or "at maximum speed".
I think that the level of urgency is a lot different if you fail to get home because you can't charge at all one in five...
I do plenty, thanks. I don't consider getting slower charging a "failure" though. Also, in a year and dozens of sessions I've never seen a charging rate that low. I saw 45kW once. In Auburn MA, actually. And it was stupidly hot out.
Even if you do consider a slower charge to be a failure, I'd...
Supposedly it's for repairs to broken or outdated chargers. Though I'm not sure why the taxpayers should be picking up the maintenance costs for private equipment.
The part that kills me is this:
" Some of the “temporarily unavailable” chargers might just be old: About 20% were installed before...
I think that they're more reliable in your memory than in reality. Those cars were very reliable compared to the other vehicles on the market at the time. But that's it. They're mostly gone.
I will absolutely deny that. It's just wrong. A BMW from today is more reliable than a Toyota from 2000...
I do all my own work, and I have new (2015+) cars, old (1970 and earlier) cars, and have had many cars in between. I love old cars. But, let me say: No, you don't remember when your vehicles "just worked" without software.
Vehicles now are insanely reliable compared to even 20 years ago, and by...
Curbs and anything else you want to run over are absolutely no problem unless you approach them with the sidewall. There is approximately infinity torque from a stop and the truck will happily run up or over anything you don’t hit with the bumper. It’s climbs rocks like crazy.
The things I...
From a statistical perspective that is a very odd graph. Adding unrelated things with different units together? Weird. I don't think you can draw any conclusions from that related to charging at all.
If you're thinking about charging I'd think you want to subtract something related to EV Fleet...
I love the frunk. Didn't really think I'd care when I got the truck. But it means that I don't need a tonneau cover or a bed box. Both of which are things that come with compromises and otherwise get in the way.
I'm not sure I could live with the short bed without the frunk.
I'd trade a foot...
I don’t know about deep sleep, but I have experienced the chime play through the dash instead of sync, and you have to reboot sync then restart the truck to get it to switch back. And the dash chime is similar but different enough to make you question your sanity.
Ideally the taxes would be based on your ability to pay them and we’d drop the pretense of a road use tax. Everybody benefits from the roads. Even if you never drive. Everybody should pay for them. And use taxes are unfairly regressive.
