That assumes Customer Care is actually open on weekdays. 😄 I'm half kidding, of course, but only half. For the last month or two they've been almost non-existent. I did finally get a reply this week after a request I sent by email 3 weeks ago though, so they seem to be there in some capacity.

I don't think any of us want the default changed. We just want it to SAVE the setting we choose. Just like any setting, I don't really care how it starts when we buy the car. The car should remember it after we change it though, either as part of each driver's profile, or simply keeping it as...

That and a station being where you need it in the first place (coverage). Although at least a lack of coverage would be known ahead of time, and we'd just avoid that route altogether. Or avoid the whole trip. Or not drive an EV. There's still some no-go routes in my travels for lack of...

We get it... you despise it. Fine, don't use it. That's YOUR personal preference, just like other people have their personal preference. Let's not pretend yours is somehow more right or worthy than others. Neither choice should be made "difficult to enable".

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it a bad design. I don't think you'd like it if we made your 1PD hard to enable. How about we just let people choose the method THEY like, not try to force our own preferences on others? If an automaker offers something, it shouldn't be "made...

I'd turn that around some. Yes, if you can't get a charge at the station at all, then coverage doesn't mean anything. But that's only happened to me maybe 3 times out of at least 300 EA charges over the last 6 years. It was added annoyance having to do the EA shuffle maybe 1/3rd of the time...

Yep. For years Tesla was considered the gold standard for DCFC, and their drivers always poo-poo'd the need for card readers. Which was fine for their own vehicles staying within their own ecosystem. Multiple CPOs tried to follow the Tesla model a bit too much, thinking they could get by...

Walmart is adding credit card readers like Ionna has, but for whatever reason they chose not to initially. Not sure if there was a tangible reason for that (delays?) or whether it was just a decision to try and promote their app to generate other sales (which I could see).

I wouldn't put EA at the bottom overall. If the only criteria is dependability of individual chargers, OK, probably so. But for coverage they're #1 for me, and have been for the entire 6 years of my EV journeys. EA is the reason I bought an EV. Tesla was worthless back then (and still is on...

Yeah, took me a while to even find where to look up the locations. And the map is frustrating because I just can't zoom out like I normally do. The map doesn't repopulate. Gotta type in a city. It's under SERVICES, AUTO SERVICES, EV CHARGING AT WALMART.

I've used the Pilot Flying J in Wells NV a few times. Worked great, just expensive. 69c. All of theirs seem to be up in that range, relegating them to backup or "if there's nothing else in the area".

Ah, yes, much easier if just using it when parked. Can pretty much just set it anywhere. If I were camping like that, I might just set it on the roof anyway, then just plug into the outlet and close the liftgate on the cord (I'm doing that now and it doesn't seem to have an issue running the...

Need to be mounted outside on the roof, you mean? That's the only time we use it - during a road trip drive. It won't work from the inside thru the Gravity roof glass. I guess I could just leave it on the roof when we're not on a road trip but I really don't need the Starlink when just...

After scratching the disks and getting a cut in the rubber feet using screwdrivers to pry the magnets loose when taking the dish down, I realized that wasn't gonna work so well. I grabbed a 1x2 board from my garage (about 36" long) and used that for extra leverage to pry the rear 2 magnet feet...

Ionna is based in NC, so that was a lot of their initial rollout. They've only been in operation for a year and a half. Last year was their "get it started and perfected" year; this year started their serious expansion phase. It's actually quite impressive that they're reached over 100...

It would be helpful to go back and look at the video to try and figure out what it's seeing to cause the phantom braking.

They had to on that one though, because they put a hold on Gravity sales. The cat was already out of the bag for Gravity buyers waiting to take delivery, and they were probably getting cancellations right and left as a result. They had to do something to keep from losing all those buyers and...

Agreed. I suspect the reason that we don't get such an announcement from Lucid is that it would be admitting the problem publicly, which would hurt near-term sales even more. As soon as something comes out on company letterhead, it's official, and the news media picks it up. Lucid admitting...

Yeah that's like wishing for a lightweight swimming pool. The laws of physics get in the way, unless you're only planning to tow it to the track to do a couple of 1/4 mile runs before putting it back on the flatbed to get home.

Yes, service is swamped and it's very hard to get through to them. Especially trying to go through Customer Care. No, I doubt anyone can help get around that because that's just the way it is for everybody right now (except maybe at a few service centers that aren't quite as swamped). Service...
