  1. SYNC-26.2.8.3 (the big SYNC update)

    Android or iOS? I thought it already worked on Android. I wouldn’t be too surprised if other mapping apps on iOS don’t support it. But if turn by turn directions work on the binnacle (do they?) then it does who knows. I was wondering earlier how you even test if this is working.
  2. SYNC-26.2.8.3 (the big SYNC update)

    Never thought the ā€˜21s would get more updates. Sweet! And Apple Maps preconditioning!!! OK Ford, new wishlist, in reverse order: 1. Pinch to zoom in Apple Maps 2. CarPlay video support when parked Give me #2 and I’ll be happy forever. šŸ™
  3. AAA test: Mach-E maintains range best vs other EVs, in tolerating hot & cold temperature swings. :)

    That maths. Same reason EVs are hit so much harder by wind resistance.
  4. AAA test: Mach-E maintains range best vs other EVs, in tolerating hot & cold temperature swings. :)

    Why does heat effect the Model Y so much? Great to see though. An almost 50% range loss is quite a drop.
  5. NTSB Recommends Ford BlueCruise Changes After Fatal Crash Investigation

    Those seem like very reasonable recommendations. Also I trust the NTSV a hell if a lot, even if they don’t have regulatory authority. I have found it odd that despite things the car can do, such as seemingly noticing schools speed limit signs, it didn’t notice construction zones. Seems like it...
  6. The Tesla Influencers Leaving the ‘Cult’ [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I’m heavily annoyed at Ford and I’ve said so recently. But I’m certainly not attacking people over it. There has always been a very loud cult style contingent of the Tesla fanbase, who are hyper critical of any perceived slight. And they used to heavily defend Elon and anything else he...
  7. Honda kills EV development in the US

    Those would be my best guesses. Obviously depends on what’s out there. I have no idea how long it will be before I get a new car though. I don’t expect any problems on mine, so it’s probably down more to when I get an itch and have enough money I’m willing to part with. I know Ford isn’t out of...
  8. Honda kills EV development in the US

    First of all, no CarPlay = no buy. So no Rivian, Tesla, or GM. But also I have no interest in a truck. I have little interest in an SUV, though the market doesn’t give a lot of choice there. That’s why I have one now. Part of me would like to go back to a sedan.
  9. Honda kills EV development in the US

    All my vehicles before my Mach-E were Honda. Guess I wont be buying another any time soon. I’m not happy with Ford for similar reasons. Don’t think I’ll get another. No idea where I go next.
  10. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    While I totally get the FOMO aspect, you’re not exactly missing much.
  11. [Ford Survey] Ford (and Brian) want your feedback - NOW CLOSED

    I filled it out. I don’t know how useful my responses are. At this point I have strong opinions on Ford and the form doesn’t really have a way to answer. I get the form is ostensibly about their presence here, but honestly that’s heavily colored by how I see them at the moment. My last car...
  12. Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

    That’s true. So I don’t expect it to be perfect. I just think it could be part of a heuristic. Highways are all generally in the same speed band. In the US 65+. And it certainly wouldn’t be hard to keep the per-state highway speeds updated. They rarely change. What I’m thinking more is just...
  13. Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

    Seeing the 45 sign on the road *next to* the freeway is worse. I’ve had automatic cruise control speed adjustment turned off since like day three. It’s flat out dangerous. I would like to try the new curve thing, but I’m never turning that combo option on. You have GPS. You know where I am...
  14. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    Android wins hands down worldwide. Things are roughly even in the US.
  15. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    My understanding is more wealth = more likely to have an iPhone (in general). And the MachE is not a cheap car by any stretch as CraigS said. So I would expect iPhones to be more common. With all the telemetry Ford knows. I’d love to see the answer but they’ll never tell us. And a poll here...
  16. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    Do we know that? Honestly I would have guessed in the other direction.
  17. Tesla-like, Graphic Traffic Display

    I don’t see the point of it. It seems like flash for the sake of being flashy. The kind of technology thing they ā€œinventā€ for movies. I can’t ever use it to drive. There’s no way in hell it’s trustworthy enough. And I can just you know… look straight ahead. So mostly it seems to be wasting...
  18. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    I’d love that feature, but I’m worried Ford won’t do their part. At least not for older models like my ā€˜21. Please Ford???
  19. New CarPlay App Is Alive!

    I wonder if it’s not controlled by the app but Ford’s servers. Sort of like how car updates are rolled out and you just need to wait for your number in the lottery.
