A new 5th-gen Prius owner was told by a salesman that changing the first oil before 10,000 miles could void the warranty.
Good read if you care about where Dodge is going.
A 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost owner says his truck is nearing 180,000 miles on the original hybrid battery, engine, and transmission assembly, and now he’s planning to drive from Texas to the Redwood National Forest, then Los Angeles, then back to Texas.
Might come to the Sierra EV?
With two Wall Connectors and proper load sharing, both cars can stay plugged in overnight while the system manages the available power.
The second charger does not magically make electricity cheaper or double the home’s electrical capacity. It just makes the overnight charging window easier to use.
Tesla moves to patent a charging adapter that locks itself before NACS Adapters become a bigger owner problem.
As more non-Tesla EVs move toward NACS, adapters become more important and easier to lose, remove, or tamper with. Tesla's patent points to a physical lock built for that transition.
For anyone towing with an R1T, the charger at or near the destination may matter more than the charger on the highway.
A public plug can look convenient until you add the parking cost, the access window, and the time needed for Level 2 charging. Bay Ridge is a good example.
NYC DOT lists 5 EV charging spaces, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. garage hours, and Level 2 charging at $0.27 per kWh. But the parking fee is still part of the session. That changes the way a driver should think about public charging in New York.
The cab structure performed well in the updated moderate-overlap front test.
The concern came from the rear seat, where IIHS found elevated injury risk for a smaller passenger, including head, neck, and chest concerns, along with lap-belt movement from the pelvis onto the abdomen.
Jeep had a PHEV with a battery fire risk, pushed a software-based remedy, and then the problem still showed up afterward.
It uses a massive battery to move a massive vehicle with massive tires, huge weight, and off-road hardware that was never designed around efficiency first.
Its battery is enormous, its curb weight is enormous, and its whole spec sheet reads like a concept-truck.
That’s better than replacing hard parts, sure. But a safety defect that gets patched overnight is still a safety defect that shipped.
Tldr: it's reputation based which all brands will suffer from when starting out in new markets.
Tldr: Broken chargers can ruin your roadtrip, so California tracks reliability now instead
