Haha no worries. No, it doesn't show up on the screen while adjusting the seats using the manual controls, but it will ask you to Save the new adjustments.

My wife already knows. She's a veteran of damaging cars, so she didn't even blink and eye

 

Turns out she wasnt that much into you, just a gold digger 😂😂😂

 

The story of my life!

My wife always says she married me for my money. I always say one day she’s going to be REALLY disappointed lol

 

i accuse my wife of the same and she reminds me she was making more than i did when we met. I drove a Civic and she drove a 1GS.

 

Interesting post on one of the F150 Lightning forums. Owner has 90,000 miles on their three year old truck, and to cut a long story short the brake pads on their truck are hardly worn. Braking on the Lightning is always regen first whether in 1PD or 2PD, and the brake coach tell you what percentage of each braking event was regen vs mechanical and almost all of the time you’re seeing 99% to 100% regen. You have to brake very hard to dip deep into mechanical.

anyway, another good example of the low maintenance on an EV.

 

Another member on another forum just completed a 5,461 mile road trip in their Lightning. DC fast charges almost all the way, and almost 100% of that Tesla supercharging other than one using Ionna. That’s the longest Lightning drive I’ve ever seen. No issues.

 

Does ford still recommend any preventative brake system maintenance to combat rust jacking with evs not really needing much friction braking.

 

This rendering is cool.

 

All I know is I need to use my brakes more. I hardly ever use them and when I do need them for hard braking I pucker up because the car doesn’t stop well due to the lack of use.

 

177k miles on Prius brakes so I assume hybrids and EV brakes similar characteristics.

Bad cop👮‍♂️ in 3,2,1…🤦‍♂️

 

Not so much bad cop as maybe one making a not quite apples to apples comparison. Those truck brakes are stopping the best part of 7000 lbs of truck that can also hit 60 in 3.9 seconds so they’re probably working quite hard while still wearing very well. Regardless we can all enjoy brakes that don’t need to be replaced all that often. I reckon the truck in question is only a third of way through the pad so 200k isn’t out of the question. No doubt a great outcome for your Prius, but who expects to get 200k out of an heavy truck? And no brake dust!

 

the brakes self maintain and do engage and disengage at low speed to ensure constant movement even if the motors are doing most of the work. The only recommended maintenance over and above basic inspection is to proactively replace fluid and I think that’s every three years or so.

 

yeah I was going to say that my Audi uses friction braking the first few times of braking after a "cold" start. I would be surprised if other automakers didn't do this .

 

Yea I thought about it afterwards that’s pretty good with how heavy the truck is.

Does mild hybrids have similar regenerative braking characteristics like EVs and full hybrids?

 

As I understand it the answer is broadly yes, but not nearly to the same extent or with all the advantages of an EV or a full hybrid and generally not contributing anything to the drive. My Land Rover mild hybrid for example uses captured and stored energy to electrically power the supercharger before the turbo is up to speed, handles stop start and powers systems when the engine is off. In other words, captured energy is usually powering the car and its systems rather than powering the drive as it would in a full EV, PHEV or full hybrid.
