You said that your uncle would drive to Detroit to get a Chrysler, so that’s not what happened with this lady you know. Additionally, there’s no telling what was slid in the deal that might or might not have been there if she would’ve gotten it from Germany. I’m sure the importation, inspection...

Unfortunately that sounds to me like the movie equivalent of driving to Hollywood to see a movie at the studio. It’s a nice thought and while many would be up for it, I’d bet you couldn’t drive one off the plant parking lot without it driving to a dealer first for “prep” and whatever their legal...

The whole franchise laws in different states is the problem with this. Ford will claim to do this, but the dealers will file suit and stop it from happening. Asking where the scout ev/erev is? It was supposed to be direct to consumer and the Volkswagen dealers had a malfunction about it and here...

Good initiative, bad judgement comes to mind. The initiative is great but the judgement that the American market will support the fairy dust of this once it gets to market with insane price-gouging, dealer markups and/or outright msrp deception from now to then will kill it on the vine. No one...

I have no doubt they could beat it, but that’s not gonna be a thing. Ever wonder why all the plug ins have a certain electric only range? Why the reasonable evs all have about the same range? I don’t because it’s obvious. Nothing is going to be released that will help the consumer unless you get...

Pretty much. They’ve shown and the market has to this point that they want more expensive just and the market absorbs the ridiculous costs. I don’t think the erev outside of what exists , pretty much the bmw I3, will show up in the us market. Sort of the same as the plug-in hybrid market. All...

I’m well aware. They tried to up-sell me things for the lightning without realizing it didn’t need an oil change or transmission flush recently. Hopefully the guys in the forscan thread are well into controlling what is sent to them. I’d like something closed loop on the data side.

Oh seems like fairy dust again. Something to compete with the economical Slate truck that may or may not come out? Something to drive up the speculative costs on lithium and other rare earths? Say it ain’t so. This is something else that will die on the vine or be so poorly conceived and...

I’d probably find an efi one. I have a 24 flash so I’m limited there. I don’t see the need to try and add a larger onboard charger because mine is 11.5 I think. I guess unless that’s something someone has figured out? Being able to stretch a trip out when towing a trailer when you’re probably...

It’s a solid alternative to have. The battery thing in my opinion is silly. Adding that much weight for not as much energy wouldn’t do it for me. I know there’s plenty of you that are like gas/diesel hard nos. The simple math if you were adding 11kw or 22kw an hour with the added weight I’m...

I’d use a regular generator. I’m with it and can’t wait.

I hope they like my data and the videos of me driving in the scream mask.

Sounds fucked up, from the repair shop and from whatever trolls you’re or have been dealing with. Trolls are like the telephone tough guys (or gals) of the 90s. Sorry you had to take one for the team for the greater knowledge of the forum but I appreciate you!

Ah yes the scout. Another wet dream that’s more of a wet the bed like the ram charger or rev. To be clear I think that we should be able to go down to the code level for whatever options we want. Whether that be provided by Ford at no charge (on the initial) or by a small non-repeating purchase...

I don’t know. You can get the ford performance programmer and it doesn’t void your warranty. I figured if there was some sort of guardrail to limit what you can or can’t change that it shouldn’t void the warranty. Although I’ve got about a year left on my bumper to bumper so I’d be more inclined...
