    Solar Charging

    That's a nice-sized shed! Sounds good. An alternative would be to get an EV charging station that can adjust its current output to operate safely with your existing load panel and power draw. I believe these are available from Enphase and Wallbox, but haven't researched to verify.

    Solar Charging

    You'll need a LOT of solar panels on your shed to charge your EV in any significant way. In cloudy weather, they won't generate much energy.

    OTA 3.6.4

    This got me a few days ago as well.

    Out of Spec posts various videos on Gravity road trip experience.

    I haven't watched the first one, but "WE GOT STRANDED" isn't a great look.

    OTA 3.6.4

    Not really. Our AC seemed a little louder than normal today, but not so much as to inhibit conversation.

    Gravity vs BMW iX5

    Apparently Volvo is in the same position with the EX60, sales vastly exceeding expectations.

    Gravity vs BMW iX5

    German automakers' cars are the big exception. I do expect the neue iX5 to be the range and charging speed king when it becomes available in the USA sometime next year. What will be interesting to me is its efficiency at freeway speeds. The Cayenne EV can already meet Gravity's efficiency in...

    Gravity vs BMW iX5

    This is in no way unusual. We have owned six EVs from five different manufacturers. Freeway range for each one has been about 80% of EPA range.

    From Highway Assist to Hands-Free-Assist & Lane change assist - An Air Positive review

    That's what is required for the face camera (black rectangle mounted below the driver's screen) to see you.

    New CCCU

    It's not physically a big deal to install - the CCC is located behind some interior trim above the glovebox. I think there might be some technician time required for loading software and making sure everything is working properly after the brain swap. You'll need re-create user profiles, check...

    The past is so predictable.

    Key Fob Issue

    Do you have auto lock & unlock turned on in the car's settings? It's probably a good idea to buy a few fob batteries and swap a new one in, if in doubt.

    Alex On Autos Reviews the Lucid Gravity Touring

    The iX5 could be a contender in 2028 as well. My eye is on the EX60 P12 Cross Country when it becomes available in the USA; quite a step down from Gravity in luxury but very well reviewed, not as large, and with native Google, fitting in better with our digital life.

    Pixel 10 Pro won't charge from Console USB ports

    Oops, possible false alarm there with respect to the Pixel 11 Pro - reversing the USB cable at the phone makes charging work or not work every time, with any cable. Reversing the cable at the console end doesn't make any difference, with any cable. I don't know enough about USB-C PD negotiation...

    Alex On Autos Reviews the Lucid Gravity Touring

    I mean this in only a positive way: I'm guessing that Gravity isn't going to be a good choice for your situation and perspective. No car is right for everyone. My own opinion only, after owning an Air and now a Gravity for a total of nearly four years.

    Pixel 10 Pro won't charge from Console USB ports

    The ports on the back of the front seats will likely work great for your in-laws, as they did for me, but are inconvenient enough to reach while driving that they are little practical help.

    Alex On Autos Reviews the Lucid Gravity Touring

    FWIW my own Gravity fob battery life seems to be in the range of about 4-6 months. Not great, but also not particularly troubling. A battery is $1. A careful, detail-oriented person will likely discover several minor issues and triumphs in owning a Gravity.
