Probably don't want to fly too close to the sun. They'd end up like Motorola and the Droid phone. They ended up having to shell out a bunch of coin to Lucasfilm to license the name - after the phone was announced.

Going to need some more info to narrow this one down.

It's definitely closer than people say, though the delta can go the other direction when you're paying a dealer to maintain an M or AMG. I do most of my own maintenance on both ICE and EV either way (tire rotations, brakes). An oil change with good oil and filter (Mobil 1) is under $50. Me...

Ironically, the Rivian product probably doesn't understand how to negotiate with the smarter charger that can adjust its voltage to make the charging more efficient. The generic one probably provides a fixed voltage without PPS and the camp speaker just takes it.

Delete it from your phone and re-pair it. I've had to do this countless times.

If you don't need a car right now, I'd just drive whatever you have until your order for the R2 comes in unless you're planning to keep your interim vehicle for at least 2 years, preferably 3 or longer. Even if your R1 doesn't depreciate (and it will), sales tax will raise the TCO a lot no...

PaaK is worse for me, back to its old tricks of forcing me to use the app to unlock the truck again, more frequently than before. Commands also fail to send (start charging, turn on climate) unless I send an unlock command first and then it stops throwing errors. I did have a spat of cell...

Tesla UWC has an integrated J1772 adapter so it works with all cars. If/when you get a car with a NACS port, the adapter stays attached to the EVSE and you plug the NACS wand into the car without it.

Mine melted after a little more than 2 years. I probably only unplugged it 3 or 4 times. I used a Tesla gen 1 UMC which let me charge at 40A though. If you're just replacing the receptacle (14-50R), that shouldn't be very expensive, probably whatever the electrician's minimum charge is...

Need a TL;DW for the OOS video, as usual. Also, rather than just consider how fast you can charge to get back on the road, or whether this helps support people who can't charge at home, look at how this changes the throughput of a charging station from a vehicle perspective. When each vehicle...

You probably have a loose terminal on your receptacle. Unplug, remove the receptacle and tighten the terminals with a torque driver (not just a screwdriver). The receptacle could also be starting to fail if it's a $15-$20 part. This is what they look like when they fail:

Not much of a difference for me, but I have noticed PaaK is back to being as unreliable as it was prior to 2026. Whatever efficiency tricks they seem to be trying affect the truck's ability to wake up from a phone.

Yes, the pickup didn't yield the right of way and made an illegal lane change into the turn lane over the solid line. The Corolla also made an illegal lane change over the solid. Depending on the state, the two Toyota insurance companies might fight over fault here.

The Standard Range model comes with a 144 hp (108 kW / 147 PS) electric motor and a 42.2 kWh battery offering 214 miles (344 km) of WLTP range. The Long Range features a slightly less potent 133 hp (100 kW / 135 PS) electric motor and a larger 61 kWh battery, stretching the range to 308 miles...

It's a very unsatisfying, hollow feeling tailgate. I closed the tailgate on my previous 2007 Ridgeline a week ago and it was still very solid feeling. The Rivian also has a tailgate cap that smoothly flows into the line of the tailgate panel which looks nice and probably helps with aero, but...

I am not a YouTube Music listener, but it's kind of a shame on Google's part. The main reason I first subscribed to Spotify back in 2019 was because Tesla supported it natively. I previously listened to Pandora for 13 years. Have been a Spotify subscriber since and I dropped Pandora due to...

I hope this isn't a fire sale.

ElectraFi does not. I'd be surprised if any telemetrics service can collect data while in service. I think they disable the API. How did ABRP work?

+1 on Dr. Colorchip. A scratch that deep will require multiple applications, but you can definitely minimize its appearance.

Wow, that's pretty notable. I have an appointment on 4/16 for them to unbreak my auto wipers that they broke when they replaced my windshield last month. It could be something simple, or it could be something is broken and needs to be ordered. I'm not sure how they determine this. I've never...
