This one is so big. The number of drivers I see on their phones while driving on my commute home is infuriating.

I think the biggest difference is consumer EVs don't have multispeed transmissions like ICEVs. Gearing for lower RPMs allow fairly inefficient vehicles to achieve decent mileage

Yeah, I think it's fine to just keep it simple. You want power windows? Cool, add 'em to the cart. You want speakers? Sweet, add them too. I think you're bang on.

I can get behind these metrics.

I volunteer!

The same argument could be made the other way too. For every time that LKA or AEB has been used and avoided a collision or incident, the human is the immature technology. But if you only consider the times that it didn't work, it paints a different picture.

I'm unsure how any of what you said matters, but I'm happy for you! Next time that you want to have a discussion, feel free to respond to what I said, instead of stroking your ego :CWL:

Looks great! I don't think I've ever seen a single DIN CarPlay unit like that before. I kinda like it!

Terrain is far worse for ICEVs than EVs. At least with EVs on negative grades, you don't have to worry about brake fade. Plus it recharges your car. MPG tanks on ICEVs going uphill too. Plus you have automatics hunting for gears at awkward RPM ranges. "ICEV manufacturers do not want such data on...

I chopped up the factory radio slot in my 78 Corvette to fit a single DIN head unit. I felt so bad about it, until it was all said and done and I finally had a good sound system in that car. But cutting the factory dash bezel had quite the pucker factor for me

It absolutely does, but that's immaterial. I think consumers should be as informed as possible, and that information should be readily available. My only qualm with what you're asking for is; how do you measure it? Is it up to the OEM? Is it a generalized standard, like EPA ranges? If so, what...

Does the EPA include impacts of cold weather for ICE vehicles, or is there an assumed level of understanding? Do they print on the window sticker at what temperature diesel begins to gel? Or again, is there an assumed level of understanding? People are dumb, but they're not stupid. This is all...

I think for many people, a regular bed topper would be a cheaper & probably better option than the cargo kit (read: not SUV kit) That aside, the SUV kit has never really made sense to me. It's fun, and I love seeing another 2 door SUV on the market (looking at you, 2 door Bronco!) The Truck...

You don't need to use the ChargePoint app at all. It can be a smart or dumb charger, depending on how you set it up. If the Truck has the option to set up scheduling in vehicle (like our ID4) you do not need to set a schedule in the ChargePoint app at all

I'm a bit wary about it. It appears to be the Lectron unit listed on their website, which they state is only a level 1. Even if it is a combined level 1/level 2 charger, I'll still keep it in the truck as a backup. The home unit is hardwired, which is a much better option in my opinion.

I apologize for beating the proverbial dead horse, but once again I implore anyone looking into installing a level 2 charger at home to check with their utility company regarding incentives. We got a ChargePoint Home Flex for a whopping $1, shipped to our door, by shopping on our utility's...

40% is feasible in winter, but not the norm, even with resistive heater equipped EVs. Here is an interesting study that looks at winter EV range for a variety of models, including resistive heaters vs heat pumps. The Ioniq 5 is interesting, as it was equipped with a resistive heater or a heat...

I don't assume that they would pass savings on the consumer. Again, I don't think it matters that this is public, and I don't think SK On cares at all either, if Slate continues to buy the batteries per their contract. But like you said, just my opinion.

I think it's not as big of a deal as it seems. My take on it was that Slate is looking to secure more battery capacity from other suppliers, now that other OEMs have backed off a bit. Many OEMs do this today with batteries. The ID.4 had both LG Chem and SK. The Mach E used both NMC and LFP...

Standard LFP would be nice. Charging the standard pack to 100% every night instead of 80% would definitely help with range a bit
