Android Auto is an app on your phone. It can update via the app store or sometimes can update as part of an Android update. The truck is just showing on the screen what the phone tells it (plus a little bit of info exchange).

They actually advertised this was coming *way* sooner than now, and as someone who used Assistant-now-Gemini on my phone, I am glad it's unified. You can adjust the voice separately, fwiw, although I don't think you can get old-assistant back. The bulk of the original Google Assistant team was...

Just a reflection of personal values. I think privacy is it's own goal; without needing any specific reason to want to be private. I don't want my own country to do as much with data collection as it does; and I can work politically to fix that -- I have no ability, knowledge, or anything that...

As someone in the software industry, I'd rather software that was developed domestically (or under domestic supervision), from Europe, or open source. I don't want a Chinese company having control over the software in my car -- same reason I won't install TikTok. You can basically assume that...

This is legitimately a great suggestion. A diagnostics app, maybe even just implemented as a settings page, that returns the same basic battery info you can pull from OBD -- like SoH and such. Hide it behind a "Advanced information..." or whatever screen if you want.

I was led to believe my truck didn't have PP 9.6 and couldn't support home power. This isn't true! I've got the 9.6, and this thread led me to go look. Oh boy. I'll have to check out Genelink >:D

This is such a good idea. Thanks!

I want a smaller vehicle for sure. The problem is, the early stuff about the Ranchero makes it look like a PT Cruiser ate an El Camino. Just give me a late-90s era Ranger EV :D

TPU (Tacoma, WA) gave me $600 -- $300 rebate on the charger, $300 rebate on the install. All as bill credits \o/.

Anything UL listed and installed by a licensed electrician will be fine. I've got a 60A 240V circuit run to a Grizzl-E 48A mounted to the outside of my house. Works great. One thing to consider: many folks (at least from the research I did) have trouble with low-quality or badly installed...

I believe the idea is to have only the connection you want (metal-on-metal in the connector) without any conductivity for things you don't want -- e.g. water is not going to displace grease to cause a short.

I just got done shopping, upgrading from a 2020 Tacoma to a 2023 Lightning. I took a Rivian R1T for a long test drive as well, and while it *is* smaller than the Lightning; it's exterior is larger than the Tacoma and the Ranger -- however most of that extra exterior size doesn't translate into...

@Ford Motor Company I got a used F-150 Lightning (from Titus-Will in Tacoma) a couple of weeks ago, and the active support on the forum here was a key reason why I was brave enough to get it! Thanks and tell your bosses I said you're great!
