This might really be update #1 but I’m not sure. The last post was from 3 days ago and I’ve only had to return the truck once, over last weekend. I think I may actually have mentioned that. During that return visit to Emmert, they found nothing wrong. The truck started fine every time they tried. So, I gave back the EV and we got back to normal.

Thankfully, things are just fine. While pondering everything that’s going on it occurred to me that Emmert is looking at the problem from the wrong perspective. They focused on the fact that the truck wouldn’t start but the reality was that we couldn’t unlock the truck at all. When looked at with narrow eyes, I can see how that relates to our inability to start the truck. It’s certainly an empirical truth but not being able to start isn’t the key point. We just couldn’t get to the starter button using the electronics so lovingly installed for our use. I say that tongue in cheek. There are way more bells and whistles than any normal person needs and when trying to figure them out one tends to get very confused. That takes away the fun of having bells and whistles.

So, there is a plan to make this truck go away and replace it with a different version that is easier to figure out. Another aspect on a replacement truck is that it might be a little closer to the ground, so Diane doesn’t have to jump to get out of it. There is not plan to make a change, just a notion to be considered.

There will be more discussion on this at a later date.
