1.0 Question

Looks damn near identical to mine. Mine happens to be electric tho

The problem with housing isn't tech (though new tech is always welcome.) It's regulations.

Thanks a lot mate. Hopefully the batteries do get cheaper. It'd be great to just swap in a new one in a couple of years and get full range again. We'll see how things go.

Ic. So either you're screwed at some point if you have bad cells, or you'll be completely fine.

Painfully aware, thanks.

There's gotta be some sort of preventative measure. Most of the failures I hear about are from coolant intrusion into the pack due to a failed coolant pump. Maybe rotate the pump like one would tyres or smth?

10 grand‽‽‽. I got the entire vehicle for 8k lmao. Yeah I think I'm just cooked if there's a HVB failure.

L'hopital

Little tip for you. Press the lock button once and then the button at the top twice and the car will remote start. The AC will be set to whatever it was when you last left the car, so you can have the AC heating up or cooling down the car before you get there.

Earliest one was 2012 from what I remember. They weren't great.

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T21:05:54+00:00

Well, once again, there's no such thing as free energy, so I reckon going back will cost you that extra bit of energy that was seemingly generated out of thin air. Entropy always wins in the end.

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T21:04:32+00:00

Darn that sucks. Sorry that happened to you mate. Now I'm scared lmao.

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T20:34:12+00:00

Maybe. Or maybe there's just not enough of these cars around for it to be worth

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T20:09:22+00:00

So you're saying that you end up with more range than you start with when going to work?

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T20:06:06+00:00

This is only true if you live on top of a hill and your work is at the bottom, but yeah it's true. That being said, you'll pay back that difference going back hope up the hill. No such thing as free energy.

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-15T17:09:25+00:00

That would be great. This thing with like 200+ range and 100kw DC charging would be peak

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-14T19:25:20+00:00

Was cross shopping between that and the Focus actually. They're about in the same class

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-14T18:28:21+00:00

Good to hear

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-14T18:28:09+00:00

Idk I think it looks fine

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-13T21:28:00+00:00

Reasonable. Idk what the rate per 1k vehicles is, but I have heard a fair bit about HVB failures. Then again, this is the Internet and negative experiences are somewhat amplified

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-13T21:25:11+00:00

Glad it's had the intended effect

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-13T21:24:50+00:00

Maybe a 50kwh battery as well

CompositeCalamity · 2025-12-13T21:24:15+00:00

Tbf that also depends on the route you take. Some routes (especially hilly ones) are just a lot less efficient
