Try this to see if yours is "normal" or not. Typically the "surging" happens when you have a full battery and a cold engine. Do this: Drive the last mile or so before parking for the night in EV only. Use EV coach to help. Next day on a cold engine, startup and drive away in electric mode...

It works very well, thank you very much.

No.

This is on the infotainment screen. So not engine or powertrain related. Probably means Taylor Swift just dropped a new album! But seriously this isn't serious and may not even set any codes on the OBDII. Is your CD jammed and won't eject? 😄 Also could mean a software update is available.

I'm finding there are three data sets: short - medium - long. Short: your distance to empty calculation is only using about 150 miles of data. Medium: your MPG indicator with bar graph in the "star" menu... same menu that holds EV coach. This calculation only holds 5000 miles of data. Long...

Gusstimate is 1:2 ratio. Run headlamps (or parking lamps) 1 hour for every 2 hours you run without. In other words, run them at least 50% of the time.

Above ground tanks seen in Alaska. And anywhere they are too lazy to dig. I think in the city they bury for lack of space. Temperature control is probably low on the priority list.

Yes. Subway has not had crab meat since about 2001.

Mine was made in México.

This thread was 2022.

Or Bob glitching.

Do you know what a bell-shaped-curve is? Basically, for every accidental "lemon" out there comes a really good one. For example, mine rattles like hell, but I get 54 mpg every day of the week. 🤷🏻‍♂️

4,653 vehicles. across 5 years and two platforms. A) that's a pretty specific number. B) how do they know that is the number C) how do they know which ones? It's as if they know it's only the days "Bob" was covering extra shifts for "Jose" over 5 years, and "Bob" did it wrong.

Ya. Measuring ONE gallon is not very accurate. How do you know you got exactly one gallon? Also, some evaporates by the time you put it on the scale. And how good is your scale? And how do you know?

My factory tires WERE NOT worn out at 45,000 miles. But I changed them out when I saw a good price on new ones. And I tow. A lot. Like 3 days per month towing 3200 pounds or more. And I routinely have 1000 pounds in the bed. Others in snow territory; and others who live off dirt roads also...
