I think this is the main biggest reason I refuse to convert to an electric car. I know even if they don't have my octane, a slightly higher octane gas will still run without issue in my car. It's actually more expensive too if you're not charging at home. $35 in my forte for about 400mile range but these cars could cost about the same or more for a little over half that range. I have nothing against people that like ev cars but there are so many steps to getting things to just work properly especially on long distance trips i just can't see the reliability as a main vehicle

This is everything I wanted to know about the key fob, Thanks!

Yay!

Good to see you back

Good to see you posting again. I also hope to see Aptera succeed. Per PlugShare, the RAN site in south Lansing is working for non-Rivian cars. This also has the achievement of being the fist NEVI site to go live in Michigan. Re OCPP, be sure that is hardware compliance with the local EVSE itself. The JuiceBox has OCPP through servers that the local equipment connected to with a proprietary method. One thing I am looking forward to is the Pilot just west of Port Huron going live. Everything is in place, and we are just waiting on the utility.

I went to Tractor supply and bought a 5/8" pin with large handle and large pin hole for $6.99. I then bought a Master lock with small shank to fit the large hole on the hitch pin. It fits perfectly inside the cubby hole. I even installed the permanent 6 inch chain links to the safety hooks.

Happy New Year to you and yours and wishing you the best for 2025.

Please can we have the detailed video of the performance brake part instead of the Timelapse?

should change oil every 6-12 months coz volts and all eco tech 1.4's have an issue where their pcv valve diaphram in the valve cover gasket breaks and lets in outside air to the crank case and will accumulate humidity and water down oil over long periods of time.

What a beautiful clearly explained video

Airport Uber drivers. Bunch of Bangladesh street squatters.

This is why u had to put the key fob behind the cup holder. “Once inside, power up Model Y by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of pressing the unlock button on the key fob (see Starting and Powering Off). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must press the unlock button again, or place the key fob near the card reader located behind the cup holders on the center console. When your key fob is detected, the two minute authentication period restarts.”

Thanks for the video. I've been researching (obsessing) to pick the right EVSE, and this unit checks all the boxes for what I would like to spend my money on: durability, portability (don't own my home), maintenance access. As with all products, I kept running into complaints, but the fires that customers experienced from Grizzl-e chargers a few years ago almost scared me off. There's a potential for failure in anything, but glad they improved QC.

opening the frunk is very annoying with the app so i'd love something like this since i use the frunk around 10x more often than i do the rear

Great Video. Thanks so much for posting. Would you be able to post the full video of time elapse at the end of the Performance Caliper Service? That would be helpful for all MY owners. Thanks.

They beat me to the punch SOB

I like the idea of battery power BUT. The ELCO 4 deep cycle batteries to run my small pontoon with ELCO's 20 outboard does not work out well. I followed all directions and had their expert come visit to help with set up. The expensive batteries near $500 each , have so far given me only a year of power recharging overnight after each use for only 6 outings of less than an hour each. Now the boat runs out of a full charge after about 30 minutes operation and creeps back to the dock. I am disgusted. I don't mind spending money for what works, but if it does not work well or long , it is worse than discouraging. I cannot recommend the ELCO so battery powered outboard nor the batteries themselves, supposed deep cycle marine batteries. I am not sure I am up to refitting it all with trying a Lithium battery as they can also be quite dangerous, overheating. The sales and marketing makes it all look so capable and positive but the real life experience is disappointing. I am ready to go back to getting a gas engine. Or give up boating.

I think using phone is way more convenient & works all the time. Totally waste of 150 bucks

surprised you dont lube the clip and pins

YaY left mitten! Time to charging is so weird, it punishes lower cost slower charging EVS

I electrified my Quest in 2015 with a mid-drive and wired the lighting harness myself. My doing it gave me the idea that Elon Musk used to design the Cybertruck's new, lighter wiring harness.

⁠hey brotha. I have a 2016 Model S P90D with 90,313 miles. Randomly yesterday I heard a squealing kind of sound. Come to find out it’s my front left…I took it to Tesla to see how much it costs for front brake pads and they’re $305 so I was going to buy them. But the Tesla service advisor at first was like you never really have to replace the pads due to regen brakes. But im curious, would the dirty rotors cause that? I guess what im asking is do you think my pads are still good? What would cause that squealing kind of sound? Thanks

Thank you for the info. The Highlander PS kindness is always free. Use it exercise it daily.😊

The beard looks quite jolly Karl! Using the latest community charger via multiple adapters is a good present as well. You are definitely on the good list of informative videos!

Thanks for this video - very detailed and helpful! Questions: were you able to find out if the Key fob needs to be placed on the center console area to drive the car?

Same layout as the ones in Farragut (Knoxville) TN that I've used with my Rivian and Experia... great trailer-friendly layout, covered, excellent amenties (a Denney's at the Farragut one). These are stations Done Right (tm).

Use of the tricycle design, points to a degree of ignorance that must be pointed out. ALL trikes are made of fail -

Great video.

Nice presentation and great discussion questions!

20:35 I wish bicycle emissions would count human caloric consumption, in which case e-bikes win.

Fantastic presentation....Paul's been a good friend for many years, and I consider him a bit of a mentor to my regarding all things EV.

Oh, this is something I’ve wondered about! Velomobiles would be a lot more useful without having to sweat inside them, and also carry a nontrivial load. I’m queuing up the video and PDF now.

Very cool. I like what he has done. I might have gone with a mid-drive motor for better hill climbing power. Though that would have not allowed for the regen.

10/8/24 Update - the mirrors are on sale at Amazon for <$22 at the time of this posting. amzn.to/4h7GNs6

Might need to do it on my concours first.

That's the exact trip I want to do with my etron. Good to know lots of charging optiona

I'd say only people with some mechanical background should do brake jobs. By that, i don't mean the instructor here, he knows his stuff.

I found the free charger at the McDonald's in Port Clinton, Ohio on PlugShare. While charging,I walked in to the restaurant and bought a hamburger and fries, but I forgot to thank the staff for the free power.

A lot of dumb chargers can also be made smart with third party management systems.

Have on of thes near me. It's free so needing the app is complete stupidity.

Maybe you have not run in to it yet. But also check that the right plug is docked in the right charger. Some people will put cord 1 in charger 2 by mistake. I always check the cord I'm trying to use is connected to the charger I'm trying to use.

They don't have this problem in Europe: you have to bring your own cord

Another one up in Saginaw. Not pull through, but has canopy. Just opened last week.

Yeah baby! & they have IHOP to blueberry pancake your way through a charging session. Thx for the video. Was great to see.

I find it a bit easier to scan the QR code on the "charger" from within the Shell Recharge app. Then you don’t need to dig around in the map and try and sort through to select the right charger from the list.

Very informative😊 the Highlander

9-21-2024 Update - if anyone is still in the market for one of these, Amazon has a 10% off deal right now. amzn.to/47D8O6c

You have confirmed that the Shell chargers are amoung the most complicated to use. How does this help pepole go electric? Sense Shell is a gas company, I think that is what they want to do, discourge EV use.
