I had an interesting experience this weekend when I was picking up people at the airport... The route I took, took me by the office so I figured I'd drop some stuff off, no worries there. On my way there I ask Gemeni when the flight (correct flight number and everything) would arrive... Flight...

I'm torn on this "upgrade", im some ways it's infuriating... ask for directions to a doctor and you get a long a-- disclaimer about medical advice from Gemini. Sometimes I ask for directions somewhere and I get two options, one 20 miles away and one 2000miles away, which one do you want to go...

I can't answer for all, but my non-motorized e-transit shifter stops at D/P respectively, no matter how much you keep spinning.

Most of the vehicle condition is up to the owner, so completely bald (like down to / past the wear strip) 10yr old all season tires are not uncommon, because it still works, right. Most states do not have any sort of reoccurring inspection which is why it isn't uncommon to see vehicles that look...

I just got the 30 day license, so if anyone is up for a software update party (I supply the gear, you supply the coffee), let me know. I have all the "good stuff" in the sense of official VCM3 and appropriate power supply (70A). I'm located at the 696/75 junction (sh-t show right now due to...

I've had "issues" updating software / tinkering with FDRS while also having an OBD2 adapter plugged in. So I went "backwards" and pulled the Y-split harness in favor of a either/or extension.

Except that there's that other pesky factor called time. If you charge twice as fast your auxiliary equipment will use half as much energy, no? (Bit simplified, but I'm about to give up so...) Heater is a bad example since it runs mainly in the beginning, but all the other electronics, pumps...

I have to say it's interesting that you're so hyper focused on energy losses in the cable (which I'm not arguing with by the way, yes, they're real, yes, it's a factor, yes it costs money), yet you fail to realize the energy "losses" in the truck due to heating/cooling of the battery, pumps...

No one said that, ever ! The only thing we've said is that the cost (in energy consumption) to keep the truck alive longer (by charging with a lower current) outweighs any gains from reduced losses in cabling, etc. If you chose to charge with a lower current, that's your choice, and you have...

Except that you're not saving anything, quite the opposite. Didn't we just cover this ? Besides, my great grandmother's second cousin was a pet sitter for Edisons cat "Watts" so I know a thing or two about electricity as well.

I just ran a part of the cord in a loop around one of the spokes of the wheel and put a padlock over/through it.

It used to be between 3-15mV but as of a month ago it's between 15-30mV. I ran that report in January so there was no deviation to speak of, but if I notice it going over 30mV I'll probably run another one just to see what it looks like.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come, but my module variations made a significant shift for the worse a bit over a month ago...

It's a good thing he used one of them extra strong H-V-A-C zipties, because I sure wouldn't have trusted a standard one. Bit too much jerryrig for my taste.

So no dcfc for you ?

Pretty much all governments subsidize their auto industry, either directly or indirectly. What's the difference between helping a company get started and helping one stay afloat ?

So let's ban anything unsafe (motorcycles, etc.) and let's mandate alcohol interlocks, enforce / block vehicles speed to the speed limit and limit acceleration rates to 0.3g or something so no vehicle can accelerate from 0-60 in less than 7-8 seconds. We should also require annual health and...

Agree 100% - of the lariat wheels #2 is my favorite, #1 is Ok too, but bronze doesn't work on the lariat wheels. It does work on these 22"s though ❤

There's dedicated data points for module variation, for both voltage, state of charge and capacity. There's also an extended battery report that can be pulled via FDRS (and maybe PTS - don't remember). So using SoH as your "outta whack" indicator seems a bit redundant. But, it's a valid...

It's not BS as such, but it is also not a standardized unit, it's a calculated number or a "guesstimate". For all we know Ford doesn't even use the same algorithm/formula between the Lightning and the Mach-E. So, it's a good indicator, but nothing to obsess about.
