@EddeDre Performance analytics are the best analytics. :)

@hanaamurakami I disagree. I married 1, only 1 Asian girl. Now I have 2 asian kids in the house, an Asian Mother-in-Law and wife's Asian friends and their Asian kids all coming around whenever I fire up the grill. It very much seems like it is a Pokemon collection.

I'm lost, I don't see anything bad. I've had death wobble, I've had a wheel eat itself and fall off the back of a wrangler but I just see a key and you driving. What went so bad to say it is worse than low expectations? Be nice to know as I have been shoping around for one of these.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@JordanEVGuy Maybe the EV makers could get on the same page and set up the charging location on the cars in such a way that they could all play nice with each other.

@sam_zoya5401 Happy, and if not rich at least not poor.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@mysteriouskat No, not in the smallest amount possible to measure.

@bryan_johnson You should move to a country where you feel more safe.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@blind_via Not true. If the hardware is difficult for software dev's to use we will just find something else and let you go bankrupt. Hardware that no one uses has no use.

I like driving my Mach-E GT more than the wife's MYLR. Ride is better, the materials inside look and feel better and I have a few interactive objects for the important stuff versus hunting for it on the screen. She loves her MY so that is all that matters, and it has 90k miles on it and only needed tires, windshield fluid and wipers so far.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@digitalspaz It's 450 dollars. Bet you could build it from scratch for 175. I mean, how hard can it be?

[OldManE @OldManE14]

Dude, I rarely drive the wife's MY, and trying to find the windshield wiper in the menu without my reading glasses while driving and it just started pouring makes me more mad than anything. Touch screen is OK for some things, but the safety stuff should have a always present switch or button on the screen.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@ApexSeeker_ Congrats, now bring back the 3000GT VR4. :)

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@ThrillaRilla369 LOL, I would say normal. But as we all know normal isn't the same for everyone.

@AntSpeaks It is soccer. Football is American Football. It is, what it is.

Problem with newer cars is that the fuel pump is in the fuel tank and is cooled by the fuel. Running too low can cause the fuel pump to quit working sooner and can cause particles in the fuel to pass through the pump causing wear to it and possible the fuel injectors. I never run our EV's below 5% so no clue how far past 0 they would go. We typically charge at 10-15% and stop at 80%. I have seen my wife drive her MYLR for 10 miles after it hit 0. That was more than scary as I don't want her to brick the car and then expect to drive my car :).

[OldManE @OldManE14]

@tropicalupdate @elonmusk Hey now, ease up on the Mach-E. They need electricity too. I have an adapter for mine, but I've never had to charge it away from home. I like the ride and interior of my Mach-E GT over our MYLR however the Tesla has the range by far.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

So not true. With a Tesla MYLR its fine for work and back and short trips that are less than 6 hours one way. However anything past that and the navigating to a charger, waiting to charge then driving back to the road you were on to continue the trip really starts to add to the trip time. We took the MYLR once back to my parents and it added 3 hours to the trip time. 14 is too long in the car, 17 almost 18 is worse. The chargers being a mile or two off the highway along with the time to charge isn't good enough for long trips. It is great for local travel and the cost to power it and maintenence is far better than ICE. But range and charging are still issues with them if you are driving long distances.

[OldManE @OldManE14]

Running a camera, 3-axis angle and acceleration sensor, two stepper motors and a gps system on a Arduino Giga R1 Wifi. I think it is good enough. Had everything running well on a Uno R4 wifi till I needed to add the 3-axis A and A sensor. But now I have to rewrite a ton of code to support the different CPU on the Arduino. Some day I'll learn to read the fine print .. maybe.
