  1. Dangerous Unexpected Adaptive Cruise Control Behavior - Sudden Braking Following "RESUME CONTROL" Message

    Same thing happened to me driving down California hwy 101 in late October. Really gets your attention and unsafe as hell! “Hands Free” was doing its usual back & forth hand off to driver assist mode and periodically warning for the wheel jiggle (regardless that your hands are already on the...
  2. 3323 mile round trip Northern AZ to LA to Vancouver, WA -- Fantastic vehicle.

    Great information! I completed a round trip from Seattle to Palm Desert a month ago and roughly figured I broke even on energy cost (given a few campsites and a free overnight charge at a hotel in Fort Bragg). However, I can’t understate how much damn fun it is 1.) Driving the Lightning on some...
  3. Camping with the Lightning and Kodiak Canvas truck tent

    Hitch said no to the pop up model unless it comes with a comfy crane. We do like the Kodiak but can be tough to get the fore/aft eves setup before the mosquitoes discover you. If you’re really into roughing it, Serra makes a waterproof heating pad that will slip right over an Exped camping...
  4. New chargers to open at Newhalem Creek hydro project, Washington

I have to say that you really get to know these small towns when walking around waiting for these (mostly) free slow chargers to add a few miles. Ask me...
  5. Why Are So Many Public EV Chargers Broken?

  6. Why Are So Many Public EV Chargers Broken?

    Out here in Seattle, I’ve noticed a lot of cut cords. Anything “copper” equates to $ for those living day to day (the new catalytic converter). I’m a new owner and have only charged at home but have been checking out charging stations around town to get a sense of availability. Having just...
