Us early hybrid orders that waited an extra 3 months for Ok To Buy (OKTB) longer than ecoboost. It seems hard to believe EPA wasn't actually doing tests. Otherwise, what was the holdup? Or was that just for emissions and not mpg estimates?

Yeah the service guy said that early March was his estimate of the airbag delivery so we scheduled everything around that. I guess if that gets delayed I can have everything else done at least.

Theres a compatibility page that shows which models are supported, the idea is that the rail channel part is installed first on the bed rail, then the cover channels go against that. Soif another brand installs the same way there’s a chance it’ll work but I couldnt say...

Finally got my various service things scheduled for March 7th: First oil change, two recalls, diagnose my modem, and the brake update. My dealer service tech was able to find the TSB, I offered to send the PDF but he found it just based on my description so that makes me hopeful...

Deep Sleep Mode is a symptom of something (battery voltage lower than a certain threshold). You'll want to treat the disease causing the battery drain, and not the symptom, if you get my meaning.

You can leave that guy running idle all weekend and come back to it Monday morning, there will be no issues. If you don't have AC, lights, etc, to drain the HV battery or heat on to require engine warmth then it can go a loooong long time between short engine runs to recharge the HVB. This...

It worked inconsistently in my Sync3 Lariat, but with the caveat that it sometimes it would connect fast and other times took one+ minutes. But it's possible someone else didn't have the same issue. Or maybe they've also updated firmware to work better. If you can order on Amazon with free...

My theory is that this is a ‘convenience’ mode oriented towards “leave the parking lot” with a slightly larger acceleration range so you can keep ICE off the whole time even if you need a little bit of extra oomph to move around, but also likely you may have to be stationary while waiting in a...

The long line can sometimes be glimpsed for a short time when you first start up in “all electric mode” aka “leaving the parking lot slowly” mode. You have no control over that ‘mode’, if we can call it that, it’s automatic. As soon as ICE kicks in for the first time, however, the chance you’ll...

I don't see how this makes sense, since when the hybrid mav is "On", much of the electrical system is being powered by ~14.5v coming from the DC-DC converter, not from the 12v battery. I could easily be wrong about that assumption applying to specific parts of the system but that's my understanding.

Just to nitpick, there is a linear correlation between acceleration power and RPM in normal driving circumstances. In Sport mode it will even do fake gear changes lol. But yeah in any other mode that doesn't keep the engine on, you'll probably just annoy yourself with a pronounced exhaust...

Try disable and re-enable the feature in the system menu. This has worked for others. There are some previous threads about it. Not sure if it needs a power cycle between switching it off and on again.

Ah, I reviewed an email and it does say they willl provide updates in 2023

Holy shit they refused the air bag recall?

I think trying to interpret the state of charge for any meaningful change in your driving behavior is a fool’s errand. I would suggest just concentrating on maximizing the engine-off time per standard hypermiling strategies.

Yeah I would just go ahead and order a new kit, everything else seems to be in order.

You should take it easy on slippery surfaces and around kitchen utensils for a little while. That is some Final Destination business just getting warmed up. We’ve all seen this movie. edit: I’m jealous of everyone who has gotten the update and also stupefied at how dealerships don’t see/do the...

You covered all the questions I was going to ask you, so I’m almost at the same conclusion you are about the possibility of the hardwire kit being bad. I wonder if you could test for voltage at the mini-USB connector end somehow? Did you adjust the voltage-cutoff selection to the lowest...

…shower thoughts based on nothing. I hate these “articles“ Sorry I’m grumpy. Hard drive recovery issues.

I got a similar camera issue message as I was leaving the house on my drive out but the windshield literally had ice on it, I didn't see it again after I defrosted the windshield.
