Are you taking long trips or just commuting and charging at home? If the latter, then the real-life impact of losing a few miles of range is negligible. Instead of plugging in once a week, you end up plugging every 5 days. That’s winter. Longer trips does mean more stops, but once you are...

Earth is a has-been market. He is aiming for 100% market share on Mars.

My point was (maybe not as clearly and I hoped) that people tend to over-associate changes in range estimation as a change in the battery when it is more likely due to one of the many transient assumptions used to predict consumption. Batteries are generally pretty stable (a couple % capacity...

Don't use the range estimate as some sort of measure of what's in the battery. The estimate is based on a bunch of non-related factors that estimate consumption (range is determined by battery capacity and consumption per mile). The battery capacity is pretty much constant but consumption is a...

Yeah, my entire model year in the US is being bought back by JLR due to the ongoing battery issue. I was waiting to see if they expand into Canada as the resale on it now is terrible (maybe $15k USD on a $90k car). Stuck in limbo but after yet another module failure, thinking reliability is...

I bought a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace EV (new) and in the 5 1/2 years of ownership, it has spent over 10 months in the shop being repaired or waiting for parts to be repaired. I brought it in at the start of last winter for winter tires, a battery module replacement (under recall) and a subtle clunk...

Funny I can't find any of that in the configuration page (the standard items are not summarized separately but intermixed with the other options) however if I look at the summary page of an in stock Macan 4S, the page is organized differently and it does indeed show the parking assist and 360...

Not ordered yet, but taking my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace to the shop today for another 12V battery issue (beautiful car, but tons of problems with 10+ months in the shop waiting for parts over 5 1/2 years of ownership) is pushing me to pull the trigger. http://www.porsche-code.com/PSUZ1R34 Was not...

Even before that, the vehicles will have a DHR (device history record in ISO standards talk) and that DHR is probably keyed to the VIN, so the first thing that happens when your car creation process starts is likely the creation of a VIN#.

Make sure you go before you drain the battery too much that you don have the range to get there!

Which Jag if I may ask? I currently have an I-Pace and lurking here as I try to convince myself it is ok to essentially write off $50k worth of residual value that I will likely never recoup (all the recalls of my 2019 make it essentially unsellable) and tun around and drop another $150k CDN on...

The idea of the momentary locking of the wheel is to try to get from kinetic friction to static friction. When there is no motion between the two surfaces, the friction is much higher (the textures of the two surfaces interlock more) than when there is motion (no interlocking of the surface...

I had specced a 4S with ruby red and truffle and Avenura green and truffle interior and was leaning with the green as I worry red and truffle is too much. Glad you like the green (I'll probably go that route). Thanks for the ics and sharing.

That will be the only practical way to collect the equivalent in road taxes that are collected in gas taxes (and roads need maintenance regardless of wh is driving on them of course). You can't separate which electrons go to your HVAC or washing machine (which don't need roads) vs going on your...

That depends on how you use the car. I live in Montreal and charge at home, so on my daily commute, I plug in overnight every ~10 days in summer and in winter, every ~7 days. That makes absolutely no difference since it takes 10 seconds to plug in. On road trips, yes, you need to stop more...

Keep in mind the "range" indicator is an estimate (many of us refer to it as a guess-o-meter, or GOM). The estimate is based on many things including past driving habits, weather conditions, some AI algorithm reading tea leaves and other magic. The true measure is what you actually got from driving.
