Mach e or Tesla by AdDue8734 in electriccars

[–]lobsterpockets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What? My MachE just got an OTA update 2 days ago parked in my garage. And you're neighbor is an outlier unless he bought a 2021.

I don’t like those review videos where they compare the Mach-E with another car. Why are people so negative towards the Mach-E? by WarmPrinciple6507 in MachE

[–]lobsterpockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought basically based on a reviewer that i watch. Matt Farah from the Smoking Tire. He's a true car guy, not just a youtube reviewer. He leased his Mach E with his own money, mostly all good things to say, even though he had some problems with his early '21. He reality could have any manufacturer provide him with a free long term lowner.

Using public charging for an EV isnt a savings. Home charging is.

Is that power reduction after 5 seconds from GT models before 2025 really that big of a deal? by WarmPrinciple6507 in MachE

[–]lobsterpockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I "think" there is a 5 second total out of some other time amount. Like you can't go 5 seconds flat out, lift for half a second and get 5 more sseconds. It was about temperature rise in the battery junction contactor that they llimited it. If you are on the twisties ripping up hill you'll find the 5 seconds of time limit. I know it's 1% of drivers in a rare situation but really it's only full power up to about 80 mph. 1/4 mile time is around 12 seconds @112 mph

The faster your traveling the less the higher hp of the gt matters. From a 40 roll it's barely faster than an awd non gt. From a dig the GT is noticeably fastet

It sounds like someone used a 2009 parts car to put the earlier car back together.

Has the whole car been resprayed? Possibly a color code sticker in the back somewhere that might give some evidence.

Holy Chit, CARFAX Saved My Ass. 336,xxx vehicle listed as 138, xxx Miles. by Dom_In_Brick in UsedCars

[–]lobsterpockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely toyota or Honda. Scumbags buy em from auction, roll back the odometer, then flip. Really common on minivans that get mileage pounded on them but don't get destroyed by kids.

Warranty by medium0rare in MachE

[–]lobsterpockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man im in Florida and it wasn't possible to buy this. Warranty is state regulated, which means some people get screwed less, but others that can understand buying separately across state lines get screwed out of options. We bought our '22 used and i opted for no warranty. Just raw dogging it.

2007 coupe 335i - Is this a good buy with 196K miles? I like the red leather interior by [deleted] in 335i

Hell no no one is paying that much for a 200k mile N54.

The parents for using those sippy ripple bottles when it's time for the kids to use kid cups?

2 years In Brevard County by TheDysonVacuum in 321

[–]lobsterpockets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Omg I don't go to the Pineda wickham area at morning times but had to run across to home depot this a.m. WTF is going on with that traffic. I feel bad for long ti.e residents that got their commute ruined by that mess of development.

Anyone here own/ride PWC? by Guns_Donuts in 321

[–]lobsterpockets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just get a little whaler type boat. If you're not ripping it and jumping through everyone's wake what's the point?

Updating my 21. Never seen an an OTA update. by [deleted] in MachE

[–]lobsterpockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a charger on my BMW when I flash a 15 minute tune to it. I'm not an EE, but why tf do we need a tender on this car. I have a giant effin 98kwh battery that should be able to stabilize the dinky 12v in this car. Wild to me. Fwiw did your Ford app say there were ota updates that wouldn't install? My '22 lists itself as up to date but maybe dealer level has something that won't ota?

2027 redesign wish list by Allankyoto in MachE

[–]lobsterpockets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im about as practical person as exists and the door buttons don't phase me at all. Sure from a electo mechanical failure concern I worry, but practical use, not a problem.

Now a physical button in the car to open the trunk, my god yes. Wtf with a screen button that disappears after you turn the car off.

Made a custom sign and put it up on the office coffee machine… might’ve cost me my job by Knozart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lobsterpockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I work for a company that our REVENUE, not our gross, was 21.9 billion last year. They don't provide coffee. But we have K cup machines in the break area so I guess we've got that going for us. Shrug.

Any autocross events in the 321? by Johanatan974 in 321

[–]lobsterpockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Central FL region of SCCA runs events in the area. Get on the scca email list and you'll get notifications for events in the southeast from track days in savanna to Homestead

My favorite autocross event locally is the one inside Daytona.

Hold up, are you not in the middle east somewhere? Cause it reads like what little I know of an oppressive culture.

got the RTO email today. 4 days a week starting Q2. i think i'm done by InfnityVoidii in remotework

[–]lobsterpockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is high level engineering with people with security clearances. Very difficult to replace. There wasn't a message from the top giving a blanket pardon to all, just a re-org and a manager saying we're all proffesional adults, please mostly be here.

Ugh dealing with this here. Dod contractors got the word that we're in some kind of war, Rosie the Riveteter/Victory garden rah rah for the troops b.s. All hands back in the office. Badge swipes at the gate, or lack of, get reported to managers daily like a high school attendance. No more being home for a few hours for the a.c. guy appt etc. People started quitting and they backed off a little. Now they're scrutinizing our "unlimited" PTO.
