Funny how TFL is calling the SLATE a "TRUCK" when they were all downplaying the Maverick as "Not a Real Truck" when it was first introduced.
Also in this video they are drinking the "Kool Aid" for something that is probably not available to order for at least 1 1/2 to two years. Many things can...
Lots of people "Over Maintenance" their vehicles even when they are not experiencing any issues.
They seem to believe that it stops problems from happening beforehand (they read it on the internet so it must be true) when all it does is cost more and sometimes when they do it prematurely (like...
I second this recommendation as both the wife and I have the Motorola Moto G Power 5G - 2023 model and love it.
Here are the SPECS:

The article states clearly that it should not be charged by plugging-in so the issue is because of charging via the plug and not the charging by regenerative braking or ICE charging.
It is clearly an issue because of it being a PLUG-IN Hybrid.
Also the FIX is a software fix so no "Faulty...
Some insurance companies only allow for "new vehicle replacement" if you have a rider like Allstate's "Auto Replacement Protection" which costs us an additional $9.15 on our 6-month policy.
With the cost of new vehicles continuing to rise yearly for us it is well worth the cost.
The instructions for entering "Engineering Test Mode" in your posted link did not work for me.
These instruction did work on my 2023 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid

The Heater only matters (for MPGs) on short trips when the ICE engine almost runs constantly to try and produce any heat from a cold start. Once the ICE engine warms up on trips longer than 1-2 mile trips it stays warm and causes no additional hit to MPGs.

I am going to demand that my MY23 Maverick XLT Hybrid 12V battery gets replaced under warranty as it most certainly has a bad or weak cell.
I have been getting Deep Sleep notices every three days even though I charge the battery with a Yonhad Automatic 10-Amp 12V Battery Charger (Link)...
Completely agree.
Hybrid vehicles have been around for many decades and there is not one that I know of that puts the brake lights on in regen mode.
It is amazing that people try to find solutions for problems that don't exist.
And this so called solution just creates a major problem. If I...

MSRP was $26,850
Either the additional mileage on your vehicle or...
