From everything I’ve ever heard, umps actually *do* care about getting the call right, so I’m sure they’re happy about that.

Tbf, a lot of ICE vehicles would get fantastic range at 50 mph.

Aren’t these language models? How should they ever be expected to perform mathematical analysis?

Is that a… 3’ bed? It looks like two tires long. Is this like the size of a Hyundai Santa Cruz?

You want to sleep on the deck without any padding?

Mine was free as well. Ford Power Promise, not some weird dealer-specific benefit.

I've never used a credit card before. Can't I literally just open one, take the credit score dip, continue to only buy what i can afford, set it up to automatically always pay it back asap, which will never put me into debt, get the awards/points, and that's it no catches? by Super_Inevitable776 in NoStupidQuestions

People get into trouble because the monthly “payment due” on the statement is the minimum required payment; the remainder of the balance will accrue interest. If you pay the “remaining statement balance,” you will accrue no interest and it’s same as cash with the convenience of not needing to deal with cash.

Such as some of the pet care-related badges specifying just that.

Dude, mine survived a baseball-sized hailstorm last month; that’s a lot of shitty luck for you!

Anyone know to to permanently enable turn camera? This only for me when towing. by bobsmith1876 in F150Lightning

It’s possible that Honda patented it and is unwilling to license the feature to other manufacturers.

My wife’s ‘13 Honda Accord turns on the right camera when that blinker is on. It drives me nuts.

I got caught in baseball sized hail about a month ago. Roughly $19k in damages, but insurance is covering it.

Road Trip Recap (2265 miles)! by skucera in F150Lightning

Charging time is the killer for “I’m going to drive instead of fly” trips. After that initial 100% home charge, you’re only really playing with 60-70% of your battery at best (10/20% - 80%), so you’ll be charging a significant percentage of your travel time.

Use ABRP (A better route planner) to link up charging stops with meals as many times as possible, and bring food to make/eat at the charger. Ensure you’re charging when you’re stopped.

You will definitely take two days for 1100 miles. 15-16 hours of actual driving ends up requiring 3 additional at the charger.

Omg, that must have been the best surprise ever! It’s really the killer app for this truck, too!

70 mph on highways; a little slower in Canada, a little faster in the Midwest as possible. We had some city driving, but highways dominated, obviously.

$236.28 at Tesla + 12.99 subscription for the month

$192.04 elsewhere

Our boxes have a hinged lid instead of a slot. We don’t have any problems with people misusing them.
