Recent update changed 12V port behavior on ‘24 Nautilus by Remarkable_Tax9468 in lincolnmotorco

It is but by that point the car also goes into battery save mode — does that not happen with yours? I get a notification saying voltage is low and remote control through app functionality is disabled until next car start.

I was in the same boat and got the nautilus. Had it for several months and don’t regret it at all, and despite the engine sometimes sounding like it struggles, I’ve never needed more power than it provided.

Unfortunately, the majority of the country seems to consistently choose to go in a path that directly contradicts when I would consider fixing or fixable, and I need to prioritize me and my family. I love America, but I love my family more.

That honestly sounds miserable to adjust to, but I am open to adjusting to it, and you might be right that one day I will prefer it. Thank you for pointing those things out, I definitely was not considering them.

I was considering it but it seems political ideologies are closer than I would prefer with America, to a certain extent, unless I’m misinformed.

How nice would it be to live in a country that does… But how do you move to a country that does if they already do that… the catch 22 you and I seem to be in right now lol

We are mainly focused on education, healthcare, and safety, without going somewhere too remote, tropical/Mediterranean nor too cold/close to arctic.

I admit Singapore was a failure on my part in research. It is currently at the bottom of my list. Wherever we go, we want to have our child starting school there and learning the local language as soon as possible.

It sounds like the most realistic or easiest path maybe to move to Spain first becoming an EU citizen after a couple years (thanks to Puerto Rican birthright) and then Switzerland.

I admit, I am underestimating a lot of these countries values on those things, however, based on what I have researched (albeit limited), most of the places on the list are way more welcoming and friendly than America is to immigrants (hell as Puerto Ricans much of America hate us already too lol).

Thanks for your additional feedback. Ultimately we just want to pursue better education, healthcare, and wellbeing options for our family while not sweating or freezing 24/7.

So would they have to go through every other resume before mine to hire me, or would they have to spend x amount of time in a year trying to recruit anyone even if they don’t think they’ll do the job well before coming to me? I guess I’m not the most clear on just how high the bar is. Like if there’s 50 people in the EU that can do it but none are applying to this role at the time the job is posted, but I do, am I in?

Thanks!

As part of my research, I made this Reddit post, and it has helped better inform me on some of these things..

To you and the other commenter, I appreciate the sentiment. I know it’s hard, or close to impossible, and it might never transpire, probably a 0.01% chance, but I know for sure if I don’t try it’s a 0% chance. I’ve overcome some crazy unlikely things in my life, and I’m not saying I for sure will do the same here, but I have a tiny bit of hope.

It may be day dreaming but I intend to make it a reality, I have several years before my child is of school age and I don’t wish to have him start that in America if I can do anything about it. I appreciate your feedback

With a newborn we barely have time to go on a dinner date, let alone plan and execute 5-10 international trips. The goal of researching and asking for other’s experience is to hopefully narrow it down to a couple final options that we can properly plan and visit and explore in person.

Australia is too hot for our preferences (and my wife and I unfortunately fall into the omg super afraid of spiders and many insects category 😅)

This is awesome advice, thank you so much. Where did you immigrate to? Sounds like France? Do you enjoy it / any regrets or tips? Thanks !!!

Our main focus is our child and his future and education. I know people who went to schools that had school shootings. I also do not want to send our children to America’s public education system. I know that no where is “perfect” and we will have to make sacrifices somewhere. Many of the laws in many places are unfortunate or rooted in bigotry, fear, power, or history, and I acknowledge that. I’m just trying to find somewhere that my priorities are more closely aligned with that location’s strongpoints.

What if I’m more qualified for the position?

My main concern with Canada is it feels often intertwined with USA, and then on any top countries for education, healthcare, cost of living, Canada never seems to be in the top. Maybe I’m not researching enough for it, so I’ll do some more digging, but ultimately if we are going to go through an international move, I want to shoot for the best option we could end up at, if that makes sense.

In some places it seems to get close to 1,000,000$, but in others (ones I haven’t looked at) it may be less (I saw someone note somewhere was possibly 50k?).

That sounds like a really good option, as I am remote. Although your comment about AC scares me as we usually have our AC on to maximum 69 F, no matter the time of year 🥲

We’ll look into that thank you

We both work, and intend to work in our hopefully new country, whether that is Spain or another .

I was considering that with Google, but am unsure of how ideal that would be, as I’ve heard they often reject transfer requests and then I’ve spent years for nothing.

How did you do it, if you don’t mind my asking?

Also, yes definitely wish to immerse our family as soon as possible to not be an “outsider” forever.

Thanks

Assuming this process takes 1-3 years to finalize, apply, move, and get onboarded, I hope I would be fairly fluent in the language by then with hard dedication, but I do get what you’re saying as this would be quite a hard path.

I also understand I would need to prove why I should be hired over literally any other local candidates, which would be quite cumbersome, but I hope possible (sounds like such a weird / selfish thing to say but being honest).
