Sorry for the very late reply! I just had the service department fix it when it was in for some other things. According to the work order they tightened the bolts.
That explains it! I only started having the issue again recently. Although it was not as bad.
The IFTTT approach sounds nice to force the phone to connect correctly. I have two SSIDs and my phone like to grab and hold the slower connection.
All the dealerships seem overwhelmed when it comes to their EV techs. I think they just wanted to keep it simple, do the basics and hope it worked.
Seems it doesn't matter what you tell them is going on with any kind of car. They just diagnose with the computer and that's it.
They have some...
Just after I got my first oil change I noticed I started getting reduced range from my battery. This was roughly around May 13th. It has been getting progressively worse. I had a CEL and when I scanned it was related to battery voltage. I doubt it was the oil change as it was express service...
Aw man, I remember some of my cars from the 80s!
I got good at dealing with overheating engines, stalling, terrible clutches, and calling tow trucks, all without cell phones.
Putting this whole thread in perspective, outside of highway trips I can probably get 3000+ miles out of 4 to 6 gallons of gas usage. That is considering the forced fuel refresh mode that happens.
I have 7,000 miles now and 5,000 have been electric only and about 2,000 hybrid miles. All gas...
I did mine today. I like how it came out on the snazzeberry. They match better than silver. Getting the honeycomb grill to detach is a bit of a pain.
I haven't painted them yet, so far I like them out of the box. They have kind of a silky black finish.
Perhaps I was. I think I had a couple drinks before posting. One should not drink and post!
But yes, the initial power lag when bringing the RPMs on a combustion engine up definitely feels weird after you aren't used to it.
Getting that torque and drivability is one of the reasons...
The 4xe needs active grill shutters!
Reports are sitting idle after long drive will get the temp up since air isn't moving through. Having AC on may also cause issues with getting engine temp up. I suspect that may make the fans run faster and pull more air through.
Overkill. But when you consider it's a total floor replacement that provides temperature and sound insulation, and also extends to the rear floor drains, it seems much more practical.
No more vacuuming is also a plus.
