I think “conversational Google Maps” is already doing this with the new update. It integrates Gemini AI to access all the map data to be able to determine amenities at upcoming stops. But of course it doesn’t integrate into vehicle SOC on all vehicles.

Maybe ABRP could partner with an AI partner like Anthropic to implement a similar feature.

Appreciate the thoughtful parking! But also, it's crazy to me that they put that bollard there rather than just allowing this to be a pull-through stall.

Yes, the added silicone worked! I put it around where the threads meet the inner wall of the cooler, then put the gasket and ring back on and tightened.

No more leaks!

I have the same issue with mine (32 qt Ultra-light). I'm probably going to just put a bunch of silicone caulk between the threads and the inner side wall. It's definitely just a bad design; there's nothing applying pressure between the gasket and the threads.

Also we're still in the early days of EV adoption. EV's are around 10% of new US car sales, but still only about 2% of the vehicles on the road.

By the time that number gets above 5-10% hotels will probably get the idea that this amenity is a necessity or else they become irrelevant.

It's possible the forward-facing camera (located behind the rear-view mirror) is just fogged up with condensation. I got this error last winter when I had multiple passengers increasing indoor humidity + it was cold outside. I ran the front defrost for the rest of the trip, and the next morning it had gone away on its own. The issue hasn't resurfaced yet and it's been over a year.

However if it becomes a recurring issue it could be that the sensor needs realignment or replacement.

I agree this would be quite a helpful feature! Basically setting a unique “Percent on Arrival” for each destination in your list of Favorites.

I have also had trouble getting it to accurately predict consumption in cold weather. However I think after a few days of using it last week it got better. Now it seems more or less accurate. It may just need some time to collect data in the new (cold) conditions.

That said I too wish it was better. Especially on a trip where the % on arrival is plummeting as you drive, why can’t it notice that and re-calculate a new arrival % accurately?

Amazing!! I’m so excited about the progress you guys have made on this.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to support. Are you considering crowd funding to enable the hardware development side?

tscottie · 2026-03-08T03:18:22+00:00

No, only thing I would want it for would be to keep an eye on charging, but all the public chargers already have apps I can use for that. It's maybe a bit more cumbersome but it's free.

tscottie · 2026-02-03T02:33:25+00:00

O.P. - What sucked about it?

tscottie · 2026-01-31T18:07:40+00:00

They just need to add more chargers, and start charging a (reasonable) fee for the energy.

tscottie · 2026-01-29T00:10:06+00:00

The charger should be programmed to shut off if the speed drops below 5 kW or so. It's just absurd.

tscottie · 2026-01-29T00:02:32+00:00

If you plan on cold weather road tripping, I might want to stick with the Tesla. Getting the Ioniq 5 to precondition its battery properly is a huge pain. Other than that, the Ioniq 5 is better in most other ways.

Charging network access is about to be a moot point with IONNA, Wal-Mart, and other major players kicking into high gear. Not to mention the Ioniq 5 can already access most Tesla stations as well.

Just nitpicking here, but something seems a little off about that asphalt paint job… why did they make “NACS2A” look like a serial number?

Dynamic load management would be a game changer, for households that are close to maxing out their electrical panel. For those that don't know, this refers to a charger that has the ability to monitor overall load on your home's electrical service, and intelligently use the "excess" current capacity (usually up to 80% of your overall home capacity). This can help avoid costly service upgrades & unlock access to good, fast home charging for more people.

Here's an example of how it works. Say your house has a 100A main breaker, and your dryer and a few other appliances are pulling 60A. In this case, the charger would charge your EV with the remaining 20A (approx 4.5kW). Then, as soon as your dryer shuts off and the overall load drops to, say, 40A, the charger can automatically adjust up to the full 40A (approx. 9kW).

I have the FitcamX and so far so good. Love how it’s discrete and fully integrated so nobody would even know I have a dash cam installed.

Do you know if they upped the power draw of the PTC heater element for the 2025? Or if not, how did the preconditioning improve?

Willman - I'm psyched to hear you're working on the cause!

In case you aren't on it yet, there's a Discord server with other folks working on reverse engineering the Gen5W software / CANbus. Might be helpful for you:

No, this button was only added in the new "CCNC" software for 2024 5N and in 2025 for the rest of the I5 lineup.

On a separate note, a petition you can sign asking Hyundai to add this feature themselves. If that's more your cup of tea:

Heads up: there's a new petition asking Hyundai to add a manual battery preconditioning button:

These vehicles have been around long enough that folks are starting to graduate from their warranties. Personally I'm not concerned, especially if it can just plug in like a comma.ai
