Dead in the Driveway

My Trailseeker Touring will not start after sitting for two days after a recent charge (90%). I’m wondering if this is the 12v drain I’ve been reading about.

ABRP now uses Subaru connect for live data

I just noticed today that you can link Subaru Connect to Abrp for live data. But due to the lag in how long it takes Subaru Connect to update it might take 15-20mins for ABRP to get SOC data.

Uncharted charging at Tesla Superchargers

After trying to use the Tesla superchargers to charge my 26 Uncharted, without success in my add, I found out that you. Use have a method of payment, added to your SubaruConnect account then you should be able to simply tap your phone at the Tesla supercharger and plug it in without further complications or problems. The price you pay for the charge will be billed to your method of payment through the Connect app. Yes, they are not free at Sonic locations in Boise.

MPG vs MPGe

Never had an EV before. Coming from the Forester, one of the tools I love is monitoring the MPG. Lets me know when I’m being good or bad with driving habits. Usually am around 24mpg for most tanks.

Since EVs use a different calculation for MPG, any idea what numbers I should be seeing for being good habits? TIA.

Beware of Public Chargers

I got my Uncharted Sport not even a month ago and needed to use public chargers until I got my at home one installed. About 3 weeks ago I got an error message on my dash saying charging system malfunction please see dealer. I called my dealer and scheduled an appointment that week. I kept driving the car. The day before the appointment the message went away so I canceled the appointment. Not even 48 hours later the message came back on when I used a public charging station again. So I drove it around for a few days hoping the message would go away but it didn't this time so I rescheduled the appointment with my dealer.

I dropped the car off more than a week ago. They gave me a loaner and said I don't have to pay for anything since the car has less than 1000 miles on it. They had their EV tech look at it and couldn't figure it out so he called in Subaru Corporate who sent out two of their engineers. I just got a call today from them saying that the cable that goes from the charging port to the inverter is completely fried. They asked me how I was charging it and told them the exact chargers I used, for how long and everything and they told me that this isn't the first time they have seen this happen with public chargers frying the cables and that they are looking at a more permanent fix to push to all Subaru EVs in the future.

They deemed my car undrivable until they could fix that cable. They don't have an ETA on when they can even get that cable or how long a fix will take so I'm stuck with the loaner car until then.

The whole point of the EV was to not pay for gas, and now I'm paying for gas again with a loaner 2026 Forester.

TLDR: use your at home charger when possible and avoid public chargers in the new Subaru EVs when possible until a fix comes out.

2027 pricing announced!

Looks like Subaru is holding the price of all Uncharted Models and not making any changes at all, not even an additional paint option. They are doing the same with the Solterra so it is safe to say they will do the same with the Trailseeker as well.

Forklift Ecohitch fits

The Torklift Ecohitch came last week and I installed it last weekend. Fits great, install wasn't too much trouble, and my OneUp bike rack fits well, still allowing for the back to open with it on (but not with bikes loaded**).

I put it on DIY. Used car ramps to lift it a few inches, then just used some sockets and screwdrivers to install it. To put the plastic splash shield back on with the hitch, you do need to cut some chunks out of it, which the instructions all show. I used a reciprocating saw and a razor to clean up.

Took a few hours, but mostly due to wrangling the plastic bits. The actual hitch install was only like an hour, maybe.

I haven't actually driven with the rack on yet, so not sure about alarms, sensors, etc. but I'll update when I do.

** Edit: unless the rack is tilted down

Edit: I didn't catch the typo in the title. It's "Torklift" not Forklift

Subaru announced the pricing of the 2027 Uncharted

I'm an automotive journalist and I just wrote about how Subaru announced pricing of its 2027 model year Uncharted EV. I'm surprised that Subaru offers more variety with the Uncharted than Toyota does with the C-HR. But I'm also quite curious to read what you think. Is this a reasonable price for the Uncharted? And which one is more appealing, this or the Toyota C-HR? Here's my article: https://www.viewsonvehicles.com/2027-subaru-uncharted-price/
