I had a similar recall for my Fiat 500 Abarth that I haven’t done yet. Something about how the percentages were off for when it should be illuminated. Of course no OTA update, so I’d need to go the dealer. The problem of course is that I’ve modified the ECU to delete a few modules (airbag, stereo, bluetooth) because…

Their mistake was still having any Foundation Series left unsold when they began selling the normal series. Foundation Series was meant to be a limited run where you’re paying for the limited badge to show you were First. But once you could buy a normal one simultaneously, the badge has become meaningless.

TFL (popular youtube car channel) picked theirs up earlier in the week, and paid around $1300 in tax, and then $0/$0. There was a previous lease deal where it was $100/mo with $0 down or something and someone else on staff already had that car. The dealership employee said they were ordering as many as Fiat would give…

Same, right? At the normal list price it just doesn’t make sense

His secret plan is that by damaging the brain cells of the average American with continued pollution exposure, it results in a never-ending supply of red voters.

Aside from instantly updating the expiration date like another commenter replied, I’ve heard they also have the ability to change to say “STOLEN” and stuff like that if reported through the proper channels

I think it’s just Stellantis’s inexperience that leads to the weight. Perhaps that they designed the chassis to be for both ICE and EV, so it’s inheriently a best platform for neither. At around 5800 lbs for the Charger, compare it to a Model S Plaid at 4800 lbs that has maybe 100 miles more range and is quicker and…

For all we know, it could just be one car sitting at the back of the lot. I tried to figure it out, and I called the dealerships three times, but I never got an answer.

Hm, just the $3750 then since an extremely quick Google search says it’s made in Ontario

For the minority like you, there is always the aftermarket. Enhance Auto has the “S3XY Knob” which has an OEM look and is installed onto the center console. It provides basically what you want, without having to put something most buyers are fine never having into every car.

If you’re someone who sets it to 68 but then is like, you know what, let’s set it to 67, no wait, 69, no wait 68. You can still do that, it’s just a quick swipe left or right in a permanent place on the bottom edge of the screen. You can do it with voice controls if you’re really against touching a digital button…

At $61,590 we can almost compare it against a base trim Model S AWD at $68,490, which has a 3.1 second 0-60 which is much closer in size. Though the S does still weigh a lot less it seems, somehow.

That would be a better argument if it was old school with digital hot/cold dials, but it’s actually just a thermostat where you set the temperature and probably leave it the same all year. If you have a Nest thermostat at home, you probably don’t touch that daily, weekly, or maybe even monthly either. The heated seats…

I’ve lived in New England going on 4 decades, and my 2018 Model 3 is the first daily driver with heated seats in my whole immediate family. My wife’s first with heated seats was her 2023 Model Y. It was do-able before and especially still do-able without in a modern EV now since you can run the cabin heating on a…

I recently bought a helmet with the Comms already built in, I guess that’s part of the trick. Stilo brand, and it’s got noise cancelling ear cups built into the padding. There’s just a female audio jack molded into the side of the helmet where you plug your gear in. Personally I use wired but really any wireless comms…

If you recall I used the term “relatively upscale” and not “extreme luxury”. We’re talking about a $35k car and how it could be reduced to <$30k, we’re not talking about a $150k car and reducing it to <$30k. For $35k, I think they did an excellent job with making the material choices feel more upscale than other cars…

Overall it seems pretty great and a big step forward for Stellantis

I dislike the premice of the stalk removal, but I’m totally fine with the dashboard buttons removal. Realistically 95% of the buttons you press on a regular basis are still there on the steering wheel and door panel (and on my vintage on the stalks). The glass roof is definitely premium, I’ve had plenty of sunroof…

I used to drive 18k/yr but pandemic had a permanent effect on my work location situation. Even if I still drove that much, I would still be miffed at the fact that they’re billing it at ~25 MPG and not at the proper EPA-rated MPGe! Why should an EV have to pay 2x+ what say a Prius has to pay?

Current interior materials are actually relatively upscale despite the minimalistic appearance. Entire door panel is alcantara, dashboard is soft-touch, steering wheel is leather wrapped, seats are like a plushy leather couch. Only the top face of the center console around the cup holders, the wood paneling, and the…
