Yep. I am thinking when I get solar panels I will get bifacial ones put them vertical on my N to S ridge with 1/3 of front face towards east and 2/3 of front face west as I will need more electrons in pm hours. Metal roof will take care of high noon problem. Plus biggie advantage vertical placement will let help reduce heat buildup during day and reduce dust build up.
Yea that's a big issue for people looking to use panels up here. Especially in areas of high treelines. My property would require a lot of tree removal and I had to mount my Skylink dish about 20 feet above my roof as it was the best spot for it otherwise I'd be building a massive setup that required a lot of space for the cabling to keep it secure. Normally you'd think just a wide space with a clear view of the sky but the rotation is totally different depending on where you live. Anyways... derailing. Sorry I'm a nerd this stuff interests me lol. I envy your push to go solar. One day I might get there too.
The thing I have noticed is that the screen seems dimmer in CarPlay (maybe AA too?) than it does if not using CP. I'm no programmer, but that strikes me as being more of a software issue or something not playing totally nice between CarPlay and the Infotainment system.
I used to be a programmer until mid 80's. Could make em really him. Back then processors on mainframes were many times slower than your cell phone is today. I specialized in data compression to save space and rewrote cobol assembled code into optimized assembler code to speed up execution times. I remember in 1972 a 16k memory chip was low bid at $211k. I suspect that this could be a program issue like the power from the DcDc converter not being increased when needed. Would be easy to overlook increasing voltage to cover needs. I haven't used my hybrid maverick much in last six or eight days so I went and put it into ready and watched my PowerPoint monitor. It was 68Ā°F and AC came on as cabin with all windows with IR ceramic tint was 76 in direct sun with AC set to 72. DcDc was pushing 14.8 volts after 3 minutes dcdc voltage started dropping 0.1v every minute or two. After 12 minutes was down to 14.1v. in short ever since I had the reprogram recalls 23E07 & 23E09 done my DcDc voltage varies over a greater range up to 15.6v which was 0.2v higher than I had seen before. Still have original 12v OEM. Still have occasional dark screen. Am not sure but suspect the passenger door and rear glass tint may affect the day/night sensor it does eliminate 99% of infrared. Think next time screen darkens I will roll all windows down and see if screen brightens???
Hope so getting tired of notices on my fords. Mine is an early build, 22 EB AWD.
I have a '22 hybrid Lariat. I'.m in the same boat.
Onnus is on you to tell them youāre bringing it it.
I just checked my recalls I now have that recall listed as a software update along with the turn signal one from a few months ago. I havenāt noticed anything wrong in either case so not in any rush to have them done.
Yet another recall. Took a chance buying a Ford. One recall on my 14 year old ram .Hello all,
Got a new recall notice today for an Instrument Panel Illumination recall.
Says the fix is a software patch.
Have not got it, but never noticed any issues with dashboard lights.
I have a '22 XL Hybrid.
Not sure if specific to certain years or motors.
Just a heads up if anyone is getting service soon; might want to add this one in.
I got the recall notice too. Havenāt had that issue happen but I think this about the 4th recall notice already on the ā22 Maverick. Thinki maybe because Ford didnāt thoroughly test out this new design? I still really like our truck bur Iāve never had a vehicle with so many recalls!Hello all,
