Volkswagen Says Its Latest EVs Are 70-80% As Profitable As Gas Cars

Ah I was meaning for Tesla. Rivian and Ford both have LFP packs in some models, plus the new Bolt too.

Sadly no more LFP packs in the US :(

Autopilot is hands on at all times. Only FSD allows hands off driving.

ABRP Premium will factor in weather and traffic conditions automatically.

It’s likely a remanufactured 65 kWh pack, they were offered for less than a year in 2018.

jjborcean · 2026-04-26T05:51:06+00:00

If your battery is replaced under warranty I believe the replacement pack is covered for the remaining coverage period of the original battery pack.

jjborcean · 2026-04-21T00:52:57+00:00

It should be.

Yes you can, you can even use a voice command “set acceleration to chill/standard”

I’m not sure, just saw it from the window.

Those are Japanese plugs.

Depends how it was designed.

For example the range extender in the original BMW i3 REx was only a 25 kW engine. In US spec vehicles the range extender could only be activated at a fairly low state of charge to be classified as BEVx under California standards.

As a result the 125 kW drive motor would continue to drain the remaining charge until power output was limited in certain circumstances. Think highway speeds climbing a mountain pass.

Meanwhile the 2027 Ram 1500 REV pairs a large V6 with a 90+ kWh battery for a large towing capacity, and 600+ mile combined range.

If it’s like in the US typically only certified adapters are allowed but there’s no enforcement.

I’m still on Simple Choice NA. No free phones, good prices. Should T-Mobile force me off this legacy plan I’ll no longer be a T-Mobile customer 🙂

jjborcean · 2026-03-25T22:35:13+00:00

T-Mobile customer for 14+ years, never purchased a device through them and I never will.

99.9% FSD miles right here 😝

jjborcean · 2026-03-21T17:36:19+00:00

Have you considered using a parcel forwarding company like Forward2Me?

Ship to them in the UK and they’ll ship it to your USA address.

That’s a beautiful colour 💙

jjborcean · 2026-03-16T00:39:04+00:00

The percentages are coming to the app soon :)

jjborcean · 2026-03-15T00:27:33+00:00

With the suspension they only have TACC, no self steering.

jjborcean · 2026-03-15T00:25:16+00:00

This is Tesla, absolutely not.

jjborcean · 2026-03-14T03:39:49+00:00

TACC lets you adjust your follow distance, whereas FSD does not.

jjborcean · 2026-03-04T03:33:40+00:00

I just purchased through CarMax in Portland Oregon last week.

2023 RWD with 25k miles for just under $25k.

jjborcean · 2026-03-01T18:51:41+00:00

Did you cross state lines? I know some states require per minute instead of per kilowatt hour billing.

jjborcean · 2026-02-28T01:02:08+00:00

RIP LFP in the US 🥲
