One of the things I really liked about the i-Pace was the ability to turn off regen from lifting off the accelerator, and also turn off creep mode. Such simple things, but they really made it enjoyable to drive.

I've only been driving EVs since 2019, but I'm definitely not going back. Part of that is because we still have an ICE vehicle available, specifically a PHEV. Until the charging network is ubiquitous and rock solid we'll likely keep it that way, though I would prefer if all the makers would...

The ODP also changes the front lip on the car, which affects approach angle (ODP allows a larger approach angle, which is also more useful for some steep driveways).

I just received the gift card for PEC LA / ATL drive experience for an order I placed a few months ago. Same expiration as others, EOY 2024. So basically "Here's a gift, you have 2.5 weeks to use it."

The captain probably forgot his cell phone on a desk in the port and had to go back for it. :)

They could, but the only way to ensure it is if a class action lawsuit is filed against then for false advertising.

Maybe. The US requirements are a lot different from EU requirements (distance, brightness, and response time). That's why none of the manufacturers have turned it on so far, because it's so different and it requires certification for the uS.

They do not.

Auto high beams are pretty common, and I believe I saw it in the US manual. Adaptive High Beams are what generally isn't available in the US because DOT / NHTSA made the technical requirements for it much tighter than what Europe uses. Why use something that has worked well somewhere for a...

It does say it supports FLAC, which is also lossless

Well that's annoying. On my iX they turn on at 26mph, and turn back off at 20.

Even if he signs the EOs on day 1, CBP wouldn't be able to implement them that quickly. Their tariff schedule isn't designed for that kind of update. But yeah, they're coming.

I generally agree, but minor nit-pick: Because the Macan uses 2 permanent-magnet synchronous motors instead of async motors (induction wound motors), it can't truly coast and loses a bit of efficiency. The feeling of coasting is software trickery. So long as the motor is spinning it, if you...

A few years ago (2 cars and 1 house ago) I had a JuiceBox Pro that I used the API to dynamically set the max charge rate based on the amount of solar our system produced. The minimum was 6 amps, but above that level it could be set to any integer up to the max charging rate, and I would see the...

Reducing tire noise generally requires some combination of tire tread, tire rubber composition, sound deadening material in the wheel wells, and active noise cancellation. The first 2 you can improve by shopping. The 3rd one can be done after sale, but it's really hard. The 4th one generally...

That is what will happen, but at that point the breaker upstream from the EVSE should trip if it goes over that limit, or if it runs hot long enough. The communication of what charging rate the EVSE supports to the car is just based on resistance, with more resistance meaning less allowed draw...

They might have. Here's what I wrote in another thread:

I suspect they're choosing a small set of customers who's orders match certain characteristics that they want to test for as part of a slow roll out.

Oh, well that's unfortunate. I'll need to decide if I'm willing to live with that limitation. It would be nice if they let you define arbitrary time windows per day, and in each time window set the priority order of the following: EV charging (from grid if needed) EV charging from excess...

Related to this, does the Tesla UWC not support scheduled charging for non-Teslas? (I don't have one, but am considering it)
