  1. Are (non-Chinese) Automakers the problem?

    https://insideevs.com/features/764569/rivian-ceo-dealers I'd say partly them and partly the Dealer lobby... add to that governments in cahoots with the fossil fuel industry.
  2. HV battery junction box?

    I don't have a suggestion about this specific issue, but I totally sympathize with @kdxkid because of the uncertainty of trusting a remote dealership's expertise. Also, being away from home with small kids will dramatically reduce your risk acceptance, for sure. I hope this gets resolved ASAP...
  3. Comma AI self driver assistant On Sale- is it worth it?

    The adhesive actually stands up to the nuclear Summer sunshine heat? I have an IR repelling 3M "tint" windshield layer - I wonder if that would be a problem. If my F150 gets a software update overnight, am I assured that interface compatibility will be maintained? The glitches during the video...
  4. The Speculative Future of EVs?

    https://interestingengineering.com/videos/china-is-making-cars-weird Kinda long but later parts are about what EVs could become...
  5. FordPass v5.21.0 iOS & Android

    Strangely, I never see a FordPass "update" in the list of updatable apps after going to Profile. I need to search for FordPass in the App Store app, then click on the FordPass description, then I see the "Update" button. It's the only app that behaves this way for me. 🤷‍♂️
  6. BYD export ship

    Chinese government media, but if accurate (and if they sell them), it’s a worrisome trend for other automakers. (click the words at the bottom of the preview, rather than the image)
  7. Hyundai EV9 (and other 800V EVs) charges slower on Tesla Network (It's the voltage thing again)

    https://insideevs.com/news/761017/hyundai-ioniq-9-tesla-supercharger/
  8. Statement by Honda CEO

    Any slowing now is temporary. ICEs will mostly be history - only a matter of time - they are too complex and need too much maintenance and are ultimately more expensive. I would never go back to gas. The fossil fuel industry will kill us all unless we wake up. The criminals in our government...
  9. CATL "no fire" rating. Important?

    What do the engineers here think? Or is this old news? https://interestingengineering.com/energy/china-catl-first-no-fire-no-explosion-standard
  10. Ford Makes Breakthrough with LMR Battery Chemistry

    I'm betting on Sodium batteries: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/catl-sodium-ev-battery-unveiled
  11. Ford Lightning one pedal drive

    I prefer 1 Pedal in-town, then turn off on highway. Feels the best.
  12. EA Charging jumps in 2024

    https://insideevs.com/news/752565/electrify-america-2024-charging-sessions/
  13. 100% range test [follow along]

    What scanner app are you using? Thanks
  14. Coming from a Model Y, talk me in/out of a Lightning

    Defining reason to choose the Lightning: it has nothing to do with musk
  15. Found unsold '23 XLT ER: Battery implications from sitting 2years?

    Wouldn't worry about HVB. Get a new LVB from dealer and be sure the BMS replacement has been done. Also, get ALL THE OTAs! Are tires ok? Heavy truck sitting around... Check for animal nests and damage undersides.
  16. Dealer asking to provide service on My lightning

    When I brought my Lightning in for the battery module replacement, with a straight face they suggested an oil change. I said: "Nice try"
  17. Would you go for this: Remote driving of your vehicle?

    https://www.mckinsey.com/features/mckinsey-center-for-future-mobility/our-insights/remote-driving-services-the-next-disruption-in-mobility-innovation I can just imagine the scams: You get a text: "Hi, valued customer, this is your [local service center]. We need to do a [recall/x mile...
  18. Toolkit Suggestions

    Although I do keep a trusty 10 mm wrench in my truck, has anyone used a battery disconnect switch?
  19. ABRP now integrated with CarPlay on IPC

    Do y'all feel comfortable connecting the truck with Live Data thru ABRP? Likely everyone knows everything about my life already... but I do try to limit my data sharing to absolutely needed apps. :lock:
  20. Using 240V extension cord with mobile charger?

    OK, we're back to this. If just keeping the truck plugged in (without doing Departure Times) does nothing, why does @Ford Motor Company display this alert? I mean, we assume the software engineers are pulling their hair out trying to make the UX and features better, but it is confusing...
