    Has anyone called out the new Ford Bronco's trail turn assist?

    I bet 90% of the Broncos will never see a dirt trail, and of the 10% that do, I bet 8% of the Bronco owners wont know how to use the steering brakes properly.

    PowerTex Batteries?

    Never heard of that battery, I have 2 Ampere Time batteries that I have had for 8 months now and they are working fine. I would watch some of Will Prowse's videos on YouTube, he tests the capacity of Lithium batteries and then opens them up to see the build quality. Also, if you buy a battery...

    Reaching out to solar power gurus

    Yep, he was the original Solar Channel who actually disassembled charge controllers, Inverters and cut open batteries to see what was inside. He is also not afraid to tell you what is wrong with commercial products like EcoFlow, Jackery and Renogy etc.
