@n_fantastik @brandenflasch Software. Software. Software. Takes 1 -1.5 minute to switch stations on my XM radio, and that's after a supposed xm update to improve this. This and PAAK is inconsistent with Android. Drives me insane.

@brandenflasch I probably know the answer to this, but, what is one thing Ford could do to improve the Lightning the most?

Shooting my F150 Lightning 1 year review today - what are some things you want to know?

@koalafiedtesla @brandenflasch Still waiting to get updated to 500 amps... Been over a year since it's been out. No rhyme or reason how they send out updates it feels. Love how quiet, smooth, powerful, and useful it is as a truck. It's a normal truck but as an EV, and with my charging at home cheap.

@koalafiedtesla @brandenflasch There's my efficiency for the last 4600 miles on my 22 ⚡. Not great but winter absolutely kills it, as I get 2.3-2.6 in summer. Mainly city driving up to 45 mph, too. Software updates are useless, have to take my truck in for a software update for the parking break issue.

@bowefamilyEV @itskyleconner @AndyZeGerman Agree. Going on 1.5 years of ownership of a 22 ⚡ and in this 60-80 deg weather in KC I'm showing over 300 mi of range on 90% battery. Still get 2.7-3.1 mi/kw too. Was similar loss of range in winter as last year as well.

@itskyleconner @AndyZeGerman Somehow the Lightning doesn’t seem to show it. Not sure if Ford does something with the BMS or hides it in the buffers but remarkably little to no degradation.

Have you noticed capacity fade / degradation on your EV? Not asking for health tests / battery tracking info - do you *FEEL* the capacity drop from new in your electric car? Only answer if you've owned your EV for 1+ years 🙏

@grok @dajaniqueee @elonmusk @grok I didn't ask anything. I simply stated that you didn't give all the data. That's on you as an AI machine, not me. F150 lightning - hip room 1.59 m (much roomier) R1T - hip room 1.372 m Hummer - 1.53 m Did your job for you, Grok.

The Cybertruck rear bench has three sets of isofix attachments and is wide enough to fit three child seats or three adults

@grok @dajaniqueee @elonmusk Wonder why @grok left off hip room for each truck. That really helps with knowing about how many humans can fit.

The Cybertruck rear bench isn't measured in m³ (that's for cargo volumes), but key dimensions are: Rear shoulder room: 1.58 m Hip room: 1.45 m Legroom: 1.04 m Headroom: 0.99 m Fits 3 adults or child seats easily. Vs competitors: - F-150 Lightning: shoulder 1.68 m, leg 1.11 m (roomier) - Rivian R1T: shoulder 1.50 m, leg 0.93 m (tighter) - Hummer EV: shoulder 1.63 m, leg 0.99 m Tesla cargo behind folded rear seats: ~1.54 m³.

@AdamThrasher @GuyDealership We do. I just paid $155 in taxes to drive my car 12k miles in a year m in an ice I would pay about $90 in MO. If Graves was serious he would charge more for gas guzzlers to help limit the size of vehicles and such, but he won't.

[NEWS] Congress is pushing a new federal fee on EV ownership: Republican Rep. Sam Graves plans on introducing legislation in early April, charging EV owners an annual fee to fund U.S. highway repairs. The proposed fee is $250 a year for EVs and $100 for hybrids. It follows: • A failed 2025 attempt at the same measure • A Senate proposal for a $1,000 tax on new EV sales • The elimination of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit in July under the OBBBA • And last week’s news that the DOJ is suing the California Air Resources Board Bottom line: Dealers navigating softer EV demand and fewer consumer incentives are now facing yet another headwind.

@SomethingLatin @MustGetBiggr @JamesMartinSJ Not true at all. Their endowment will cover this and be just fine.

@MustGetBiggr @JamesMartinSJ Yeah. I was thinking, "Okay, next step, only admit students from families with incomes below $150K"

Fantastic. Notre Dame announces that families with incomes under $150,000 will pay zero tuition news.nd.edu/news/notre-dam…

@TitanUranus @GuyDealership @grok Mid size luxury. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like how you have to keep getting more and more specific. Now keep comparing for 2026 and keep asking AI for help. You are insufferable. No wonder you pay for a blue checkmark. Good day as I'm done here.

You ain’t that bright, are you? Geely Galaxy is a $10k car. You dont compare cheap $10k vehicle sales to mid size luxury EV SUV. @grok in the exact mid-size EV SUV category and price bracket, how does Model Y sales rank in China in 2025. Exclude compared to Chinese comparable EVs?

@TitanUranus @GuyDealership One of your questions that Grok answered just told you they were passed up. Congrats on the past, but as you pointed out with the big 3 that $tsla stans are worried about, it's the future. Wait until you hear about BYD and what they are doing. 🤣 x.com/i/status/20340…

@NDJeff06 @GuyDealership If this is true, when is the MY the best selling car in China over the last 5-6 years? Are Chinese people stupid? Why are they buying Teslas when they can buy better EVs in their own country?

@grok @TitanUranus @WyattdaRiot808 @Rororowyaboatz @GuyDealership Hey @grok, how many more questions can be asked to try and spin that Tesla is not behind the Chinese in making and selling EVs now? Also, who offers better specs in the EV world in terms of range, charging speeds, etc along with costs: BYD and other Chinese EV makers or Tesla?

@TitanUranus @Rororowyaboatz @GuyDealership insideevs.com/news/780443/te…

@TitanUranus @Rororowyaboatz @GuyDealership Not even Tesla can compete here with the Chinese. The charging speeds, the tech, and their prices would beat down every auto maker here in the US. Also might learn who taught who about EVs. This isn't just for the Big 3, but you're beloved Tesla as well.

@TitanUranus @GuyDealership There isn't a car company in America that is on par with China on their tech, not even Tesla. That said, it will be interesting to see how reliable said cars are and the quality to which they are built.

@GuyDealership Ford, General Motors and Stellantis are shitting themselves because their outdated tech wont be competitive in the next 10-15 years.

@NicholasKWolf @brandenflasch @clawrence As someone who does the same, I only have 1 ev and don't travel with it bc it's not practical here in MO, or the surrounding states. Hard to convince family to go EV when I can't fully commit. Slow charging speeds and lack of infrastructure is a killer for most. 🤷

@NDJeff06 @brandenflasch @clawrence As I said, maybe for some. For my own family's experience, since buying an EV we have just charged at home. External charging likely only needed if we do an inter-state trip, which is rare.

Lots of talk of new BYD EV charging specs. I can charge my Tesla Model 3 at a super charger from low to ‘how-much-I-need-to-get-home’ in the time it takes me to walk into Buc-ee’s, take a leak, get an iced tea, and walk back to my car.

@Mattlinn01 @brandenflasch @clawrence Should say EV* not RV, lol.

@Mattlinn01 @brandenflasch @clawrence It's what makes me stay as a 1 rv family instead of getting rid of my Ice all together. M3 is small for the fam, don't like the height of the MY, and the Midwest off the beaten path is rough when my ice can get to and back without stopping for a 180 mi one way trip. 🤷

@NicholasKWolf @brandenflasch @clawrence If you want full adoption, fast charging is used more than what 6% (EV drivers in america) of the population currently use. And it's needed. 🤷

@brandenflasch @clawrence For some maybe. Most people simply charge at home though. Fast charging needed pretty rarely.

@3xCrownSports @CFBGuy999 No doubt, but he could play harder teams if they moved past the time frame. Remember when Holtz would play top 5 Michigan in the beginning of the season? If MF can win a natty, he will be there for me. Until then, the Rushmore of coaches are for those who won at ND.

@NDJeff06 @CFBGuy999 Agree about the SOS. I think it’s unavoidable though and MF/ND are doing their best to schedule tough games. But teams do not want to add hard OOC games now with expanded CFPs Also traditional rivals like BC, Purdue, and Stan have been terrible this decade. Not helping our SOS

Keep 3 Cut 3 Notre Dame Head Coach Edition Lou Holtz Marcus Freeman Brian Kelly Bob Davie Ara Parseghian Dan Devine

@3xCrownSports @CFBGuy999 That's a big if but let's not forget MF also inherited a program that went to the playoffs 2 out of the last 4 years, w/a chance for a 3rd when BK left. Also, MF has had the easiest SOS out of all these coaches. Not knocking him but it's not like MF had to do what even BK did.

@NDJeff06 @CFBGuy999 Dan is terrific but he did inherit a program that was rocking and rolling. Came in 1975 two years after Ara won a natty If freeman wins a natty with ND, he did it with far fewer building blocks early on with what BK left him. And will end up more impressive than Devine
