I need to buy a TV soon and since my tape measure is packed up (still in the process of moving) anyone have any idea how big of a box (L x W x H) I can shove in the back assuming the seats are folded down?

Yeah in general I would say that CarPlay is just ok. Apple maps gets the job done but I think waze and google maps do a more consistent job of routing me the best way. Having to push the home button, then repush the button to get back into directions is a little annoying too. As is the...

Full charge on a DCFC will be over two hours. I hit 87% SoC in 90 minutes and at that point was adding around 2% per every 5 minutes (16kW charge rate) and I would imagine there would be another taper coming before it hit 100%. I was not willing to sit on the charger for another hour to find out.

Guess the one thing I neglected to try was the mechanical home button...

Can someone tell me how when using car play you can access the SXM or AM/FM radio settings? I for the life of me cannot figure out how to get out of the carplay screen.

The car itself cannot display this information. You would need to use the mylink app to find this number, which is pretty inconvenient if you want to do it while driving...

It seems to hold pretty well, no issues with it. I have a 7+.

I believe there is no brake light in D mode. D mode is the equivalent of coasting in a gas car which also does not activate the brake light.

I bought the clip from pearl auto, I think it works pretty well. I mounted the phone above the large center screen in landscape mode.

The app is ok, but not great. You can set it to message you if the charge is complete or if it is interrupted. You can change the style of charging (immediate, departure, or departure and rate) but you cannot set a % charge level. The only way to do this is in the car by selecting the "hill...

Posted some charge data on the blog if people are interested. Extremely boring 1.5 hours, I have a video I am trying to edit together later as well. Summary: I sat on the charger for 90 minutes tonight to get a better idea of the various tapers the car undergoes as it is charged. The main...

Congrats!

Yeah avoid the 100A chargers unless you want to wait a long time. I filter out all the charge point stations since so many are 24kW and I do not feel like spending an entire day at the charger.

To me it means the car feels more balanced and tight, slightly harsher ride, more aggressive spring rates, less body roll compared to what I would expect in a non-performance American car. It's like driving a Ford Fusion and then getting in a C class, the C class just feels more composed, more...
