No such thing as 10 miles of flat road in PA. But I do about a 190 mile drive each way anywhere from 1 to 3 times a month between home and camp on my 20 in OEM Pirellis. About 20 miles of it has a speed limit of 65 mph, and the rest is 55 mph or under. I typically drive ~5-7 mph over speed...
For me it's not really a choice. I made the critical error of wasting money on a Google Pixel 7A. It becomes invisible to the truck every day. The only way to make it visible as a key again is to put it in and out of airplane mode for several seconds. The only positive is that the Columbus...
Guess I'll never know. I created an Apple Music account just to try it out after the update. Every time I scan the QR code generated by the truck, during the login it tells me I need to change my password using an Apple device. I don't own one and probably never will. If I manually enter...
Try using something other than Tesla that has over a decade of building a fanboy base head start. I think the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a pretty solid competitor from a well known vehicle OEM. They only sold just under 34k of them in the U.S. in all of 2023, and just over 18k so far this year...
Got my email to confirm the shipping address too. VIN 96xx and I wasn't expecting this for at least a few more months. That's a pretty big step up the VIN #s from last time I checked. Crossing my fingers it shows up by the end of the month. There's a RAN about halfway, but the beach town...
When a belt broke on my riding mower at my camp, I had already decided that I wasn't putting another dime into it, even though it was an easy fix. And I was getting even more agitated pushing my 20 in Kobalt mower back and forth on my close to 1 acre at home for 3 hours twice a week. So I...
Is it possible to add a specific marker for locations with Magic Docks? I recently found out there actually is one in Pittsburgh. I was just looking for compatible ones down the road when I get my adapter sometime this decade, and only realized it was a Magic Dock because of Plugshare reviews.
I know the 15k/30k is a rough estimate, but let's continue that napkin math a little.
With my home electricity rates around 0.14c/kWh it cost me ~$70/1000 miles if I round off to 2 mi/kWh efficiency (which I have exceeded over 27k miles now). So ~$1050 for 15k miles. So getting the 20% more...
Does anyone know if the portable charger/hand warmer in the passenger door is the same dimensions as the flashlight? And the same as the R1's? Would love it if they were interchangeable between vehicles. When I get an R2, I would use the charger/handwarmer in my truck more often then I do...
Probably been discussed in one of the 18 page threads, but has anyone confirmed that they will all be 800V? I couldn't find it on the R2 website and don't recall hearing it in the reveal.
They clarified it for me in this interview. He said all 3 motor configurations (single, dual and tri) would be available with 300+ miles of range, but the base single motor has a smaller battery with something like 270. There is also a single motor with a bigger battery.
I refute that and discuss it with anyone that gives me the chance. I raise eyebrows all the time when I open with it takes me 10 to 20 seconds to charge. 5-10 sec to plug it in, and 5-10 to unplug. The rest of the time I'm not in or around the vehicle and doing other things I would be doing...
Short answer, no. Depends on what you consider a dent. At best that would get you 1-2 mi/hr of range charging, and that's assuming you had them perfectly oriented in the sun for the few hours it was at peak each day. I guess if you are travelling less than 10 or 20 miles a day, then the few...
It's already been explained well, but let me rephrase the original post and question to try a common sense approach.
Recently I saw a Ford F150 ICE truck and a Ford Fusion ICE sedan pull into a gas pump. Both of them pumped 5 gallons of gas in their tank in identical times of 1 minute. The...
Not quite. Had mine done today and also had a misaligned lower trim panel finally replaced and it was only about 2 hours.
But here is a really funny story. I washed the truck yesterday afternoon after it collected a month worth of mud and other stuff during hunting season. I misjudged just...
That's mathematically correct and pretty similar to what I do. Even though the truck maxes out at 284 miles remaining on the display at 100%, I routinely get ~3mi/% or more in the summer. But just as easy for me to ballpark (driver displayed range minus actual miles remaining) then add or...
