Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

Pesky Tire Pressure Sensors on Ford Explorers
Has anyone experienced any problems with tire pressure sensors on Ford Explorers?
Have a 2006 Explorer and just perfomed the "get ready for winter" routine including checking tire pressure.
All tires show the same pressure outlined in the manual. When the temp dips below 32, car sitting overnight, the check tire pressure light comes on and stays lit until the vehicle is driven 15+ miles and the tires warm up. I know it's the cold weather combined with cold air volume in the tires but the pressure is right on the numbers when cold. It's only a slight annoyance in the winter but just wondered if anyone else had this minor glitch.

All the time it was being tossed all over he** inside the tire it continued to work and monitor the pressure.
Guess I have to give Ford kudos for a tough little piece of equipment........
Also, running a tire generates heat, so the pressure rises as well!
So if you are reporting that cold weather is triggering your system and driving a few miles turns it off - well, it sounds like the system is working perfectly and so are the laws of Physics.
If you want to stop the system from being triggered, start off with more pressure.
