Cool! Interesting career for sure! So, I've seen things showing a drastic reduction in the amount of investment $$ being allocated to petroleum by investors. Is that something you've see as well, or is it slanted BS of some kind?
Well, I won't be PARTIZAN but energy production is definitely very political. If you were in the industry, you know that even if all regulations went away, it take time to get investors and money, procure equipment and develop sites before you can pump that oil, right? So it takes a while for...
Ok...now I feel embarrassed. So, I think that this may be buggy or inconsistent. I normally have a light touch on the wheel although my hands are on there and I have been puzzled in the past how on some drives there's no issue and others..the damn thing is going crazy. But now I think that...
No, just talking about random settings that reset to defaults. For example, my car periodically defaults the "ambient lighting" setting to the default amber color. Used to also lose other settings but lately, just that one. Bizarre stuff! :)
This is just dumb though. It doesn't sense if your hands are on the wheel, it senses if the wheel hasn't manually been moved by you in the past 15-20 seconds and then goes off.
The thing is...this literally comes up every 15-20 seconds. So even if you're on a long, straight piece of road, you have to keep jiggling the wheel or it will beep and yell at you. Ridiculous! My wife's care does this but it actually senses if your hand is on the wheel and will only freak out...
Yeah, the adaptive cruise and such is on and that's when it does it. Just have never seen a car do it THIS quickly. Was hoping I missed some stupid option. :)
The thing is, even with your hands on the wheel, unless you actively steer back and forth, even on a long straight way...it trips and...
Man, is it as annoying for everyone else? It goes off WAY too quickly and way too much. My wife's car has a similar feature, but it doesn't bother you if your hands are actually on the wheel. Seems like Ford went super cheap here and it's super annoying.
Not perhaps completely related...but has anyone seen a way to turn OFF the damn "keep your hands on the wheel" message? With cruise control on and on a freeway, I literally have to keep jiggling the steering back and forth even when I don't need to because about every 15-20 seconds if I don't...
Ah, ok. Thanks! I thought I was really being dumb there. Mine's a 2025 so that makes sense I guess. We're just all trying to figure out what makes some of our settings periodically revert to defaults. Mine happened more frequently in the first month I had the car and now randomly once a...
Ok, I'm being stupid or something. On that thread I see one attached file but when I get it, there are no tabs and the update info stops in 2024. Is that what I should be expecting to see, or did I miss something?
Ah, I see. From running too rich/hot. I've never had that happen with cars from using that type of product in the past, but then again, it's not like I used them EVERY time.
Just wish more places would carry 93 octane. Here in Arizona it is RARE. A few places that have it....all of them at least an hour away from me on the complete opposite side of the city, unfortunately. Then again, looking at products like Boostane...they do legit claim to be able to turn your...
Yeah, me too. Now at least. Had the car for almost 4 months now. In the first few weeks it seemed to reset at least once or twice a week. And more than just the ambient color...lost my favorite locations in navigation as well, oddly...even though those two systems are separate. But bottom...
I can't speak to the Cobra gauges. No experience with them. This is damn odd though. Still the only thing that resets for me is the ambient color. Goes back to that default amber color once in a while. I'm mystified. I'm now thinking it's not updates. It's just some software bug.
Bingo! Sounds like we all just need to keep our attention on things and make sure our voices are heard if this crap seems like it may come to our areas!
