According to a quick search, the switch seemed to happen in Q4-21, though it's not clear on a quick look what the dates for given factories were. Your point is fair enough - though I would assert, absent a serious 'low bidder' scenario, that a frequent failure speaks more to the charge / SOC...

Looks nice. I still have the 'Blue Honda Trauma' from back in the 90's where the dark-blue vehicles had clear-coat delamination within the first 3 years. That was just after the 'water-based' conversion of the painting process. I'm sure the chemistry is different, but still, the memory of your...

Yeah, and things like this are a 'sales facilitators' intended to increase revenue. Remember who's authoring it, and what activity it supports / facilitates. Same idea as the stealership pushing 3K OCI with synthetic oils for a mild suburban use cycle - on a hybrid. Last year I was shopping...

Based on experience with previous cars, I'd call "Truckload of ungulate-sourced fertilizer", unless a manufacturer sites a battery so it's subjected to excessive heat (like 'back in the day' examples of large lumps of iron with horrible heat-soak sequence). "Regular" lead/acid - I've had them...

Hey, all the IT folks know YYYY-MM-DD is best, right? ;) Makes sorting character strings a lot easier without having to re-cast as a NUMBER.

In some more 'Musky' moments of inspiration, I was thinking about having my artist friend do a PPF mask design for the front-end with a design that looks like a lizard (Think "Toothless" from HTTYD franchise with a chameleon tongue) with a large dragon-fly like insect in its mouth (bumper...

The brit convention is DD-MM-YYYY. Can make things confusing for yanks...
