Oh, well that's unfortunate. I'll need to decide if I'm willing to live with that limitation. It would be nice if they let you define arbitrary time windows per day, and in each time window set the priority order of the following: EV charging (from grid if needed) EV charging from excess...

Related to this, does the Tesla UWC not support scheduled charging for non-Teslas? (I don't have one, but am considering it)

I doubt Porsche NA would do it early, especially since the Monroney sticker doesn't get created until it clears customs. They'll know at least a few days in advance that it's coming, so they can update the system to build the price increase in for all cars imported after day X. Why price...

Since the credit is part of the tax code he can't get rid of it as easy as he can implement tariffs, as he'll need legislation passed. Since they control all branches of government that will happen, but it will take a little longer and will likely be part of budget reconciliation, which will...

Because of that I looked up the manual for a 2025 Macan 4S, and noticed it lists 2 different part numbers for keys. The second part number, PPE1C-433 is actually FCC certified for 2 frequency ranges, and the 2nd of those is UWB. The Central Control Unit also has UWB radios in it according to...

Not saying anyone is using their EV wrong, as it should be designed such that it can't happen, but ... :)

Just wondering, does that trailer provide 1 extra HP? :)

My car prior to the iX was the Jaguar i-Pace. Really loved how that car handled. But it had this problem where for a lot of people, after a while it would basically put itself into Park (while driving) and couldn't get out of it. Turns out they didn't put enough slack into one of the cables...

I was really shocked when Toyota released the bz4x and the first recall had nothing to do with the electric powertrain, and instead it was because the wheels could literally fall off. The one aspect of cars that has been there since the beginning (even when some cars had the equivalent of...

NADA, and almost all of the laws they support, needs to be banned.

I think Porsche says the max charging speed is 270kW, and if so, it exceeded it. :)

BMW definitely doesn't have it all figured out. My iX seems to "forget" my iPhone for CarPlay every other time I drive it. The iPhone still shows the BMW in Settings | General | CarPlay, but the iX doesn't show any paired phones. I basically have to repair it each time that happens. Though...

I'm not sure how I'd make that decision, because of a few things: We don't know if this is a software problem or a hardware problem (could be bad connectors, bad motherboard, bad RAM, or even a bad voltage regulator somewhere in the system). Hopefully it's a hardware problem so they just have...

To some extent it could, but the amount depends on how much the tariffs depress new car sales.

Hmm, with my prior EVs that usually means the 12v battery is dying / not being charged.

Definitely let us know what they find. I'm guessing a loose connector to the mechanical release motor / solenoid.

The main disadvantage of Tile is the tracking network only consists of the phones that run the Tile app (and explicitly grant it permission to always run in the background), vs. Apple's tracking network of almost every iOS device, or Google's network of most Android phones in the past few OS...

The amount of errors coming through really makes me wonder if one of the wiring harnesses has a problem.

Tariffs are assessed when the item hits US customs, which is at the US port of entry. If Trump puts in new tariffs on 1/20, effective 1/21, then any car that hasn't cleared customs at that point would be subject to it. That's why the Monroney Sticker isn't generated until the car clears...

Couldn't have been doing 5kw, because that would be 41.7 amps pulled at 120V. At most, if it was a 20A rated circuit, it could have done 2.4kw.
