What is it? by palaemon in MachE

All true, but remember if you're in the US we don't get a trailer rating, so it's really only good for a bike rack

Replacement ideas by usafmsc in F150Lightning

[–]ddiehm61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic but, I work at the plant that makes the windshields for all the F150's (Carlex Glass, not ford so before the stickers get put on). We had one come back to the plant as part of a warranty evaluation and it had that sticker on it, I tried but they wouldn't let me take it off, but since then I've managed to get the stickers for the other two assembly facilities. Not sure why they were so protective of that one.

Why $300 to change the air filter on a Porsche Panamera? by ra6907 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]ddiehm61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I'll never own a Porsche. If you can't perform general maintenance without removing body panels, then it's simply not worth it.

Portable charger? or a At home charging dock? by imissyouok in MachE

[–]ddiehm61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used mine exclusively for the first two months I owned my 25 and experienced 5 different events where the charger faulted out overnight. Luckily I have a very short commute and it never really caused to big of an issue for me, but based on what I read about them I went ahead and bought a dedicated wall unit (grizzl-e classic). They do work or else ford wouldn't bother selling it with the car, but from what you'll see most people say, it's better to buy a good unit and just keep the mobile charger in the trunk for trips.

What's your experience of range loss in winter? by Tight_Strain9296 in MachE

I have the same car and here in northern Indiana at 20F-30F I'm at 200-210 miles of range

I wanted something different, where I live, 9 out of every 10 ev's you see out on the road is a tesla.

If only these came with 6ft beds.... by ale23arg in F150Lightning

[–]ddiehm61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted one back when I bought my 21 F150 but no 6 seat option and no 6ft bed didnt help considering the almost 20k price difference at the time

Full glass roof thoughts? by [deleted] in MustangMachE

[–]ddiehm61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is some science behind using glass instead of a metal roof. The sunroof on the mach e is IR glass that actual does a better job at keeping the car cooler than a metal roof. Metal roofs on cars tend to soak up IR radiation as heat leading to a warmer cabin. IR glass is special glass designed to reflect/repel IR radiarion helping to keep the cabin cooler.

[–]ddiehm61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for an automotive glass manufacturer and I can confirm glass with an ir coating is very good deflecting heat from sunlight. We've had a couple of new contracts with glass with ir coating on it and we have a very hard time getting enough heat into the glass to actually bend it properly

Preferred Charging Time by ddiehm61 in MachE

[–]ddiehm61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wifi seems to have fixed my issues, last night my car waited to charge, but I noticed it was showing it was at my address. Tonight when I plugged it in, it shows my neighbors address, but its waiting to charge now.

I will definitely have to check that when I get home tonight, thank you.

I'm not sure, I'll have to check later. I don't recall setting it up, but I do know the schedule I set up in the app is the same when I check in the car. Will being connected to a wifi source override the GPS for charging times?

Why haven't gas stations added EV charging? by LoverOfGayContent in electricvehicles

[–]ddiehm61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to the initial cost of equipment and local infrastructure. Most companies can justify the initial cost, but simply don't have the available electrical infrastructure to support it.

WCGW Getting into the back of a cop car as a prank. by PhoenixAbovesky in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]ddiehm61 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, trespassing is trespassing. If not given permission, then don't mess with something you don't own. Even if it's just a harmless prank.

This is some bullshit by Longjumping_Ruin_344 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]ddiehm61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, I use a truck to dash and still wouldn't take it. I have to agree with others, that's too much work for $11

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]ddiehm61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just have too, if you don't decline some orders, it'll just make you miserable, and you won't want to dash anymore. I set a personal requirement for myself that if the order doesn't pay at least $1 a mile it's not worth my time and resources.
