You can turn off the center screen in Lariat by pressing down and rotating the wheel on the screen. I think the backlight might stay on, but the screen goes black until you touch it.
Forget asking Ford for camp mode, dog mode, generator mode, etc... because they've barely gotten any updates...
Yeah I agree they would know what batches of pouches are bad, and where they ended up.
I'm just guessing that if batches of pouches in general go into modules in the order they are made, and that modules are put into the trucks roughly in the same order, that basically whole batteries will need...
If they know which pouch batches are bad, they can probably relate the pouches to vehicles.
My truck was made in the first or second week of 2023s after the factory restarted for MY '23 production. So the pouches affected might be for 22s and 23s around that time period (Nov 2022).
I wonder...
It showed up in the Ford website for me.
I assume it's going to be an entire new battery. Why would the issue be isolated to a specific module. And how could they possibly fix electrode misalignment without replacing it?
Agree that is certainly a factor. But realistically, nobody in the world can compete with China purely on price when it comes to mass manufacturing. And EVs are relatively easy to make. China already has the industrial capacity to manufacture 40 million cars per year.
The US and Europe will...
Off-topic but 100% agree, that there are many optimizations coming for AI. But the "real" AI that's coming will still cost billions in capital investment.
Deep-seek is full of shit on the $6 million thing, but other than that, agree with what you're saying. :) <--- just to add context, there are a lot of factors to consider here, but like almost anything Chinese, they have factors that help them do things for less, but also, they did some clever...
I like Farley, but he is looking at his feet instead forward.
Chinese car companies TODAY are buying batteries near $5000 per 100kWh and it's coming down 10% to 20% per year. Gen2/3 batteries will be 2x to 3x the current energy density, perhaps some version of solid-state, with more charge...
Is it true that Ford recommends (or requires) recalibration of the various driver aid systems (radar, cameras, etc) after any suspension change?
Like after a mild 2" front-end lift or even changing wheel alignment?
I'm not sure how rare/common Tesla L2 chargers with J1772 connectors are. But if that's what this is, then it's implied that it's meant for CCS vehicles which means either it's broken or it needs to be activated through Tesla's app.
You can filter out chargers that are not part of the BlueOval charge network.
You can filter out chargers that are slow.
The problem with random destination L2 chargers is they may or may not be open to random cars. They can be on any number of networks. You might need an App or something to...
