It's protectionism mostly, very short sighted as you say. I don't see a fire under US manufacturers to catch up, because they feel they don't need to. All of this is at the expense of the US consumer. I'm excited to see how things pan out for the rest of North America.

While it does give me pause that basically every automotive youtuber who experiences chinese EVs comes away super impressed, none of them have done any sort of longevity/wear and tear testing. There's also the factor that even if we allowed them all to come here, there won't be dealer/service...

Can't get any local Ford dealer to do mobile service for this. Might end up just ignoring this one until I eventually trade it in

Hope this means you got it back 😬

My local dealer sends out mailers about how they have mobile service, and if you call and ask for it, they don't know anything about it.

Interestingly I've also been looking into an EV9 as a replacement for my '22. My inlaws got one a little while back and it seems great. With current kbb value, the 'wind' model is nearly an even trade after incentives. I've got some things I need the truck for coming up though, might wait til...

Can we see a picture of your print farm? Would be neat to see.

I used Granger shortly after I purchased my truck. I only added on 2 years just because Ford B2B is only 3. The only annoyance is there is no longer any way to check the status of it yourself, you'll have to ask at a dealer service dept like someone else said.

something I always wondered about the extended range trucks with the dual onboard chargers... when charging at 40 amps and below, does it only ever use one of them, or does it switch back and forth to spread out the wear? I had my onboard charger go out in my model 3, wondering if one died in...

I like the lights in them too, probably super helpful both in an emergency charging situation, or if using them with pro power at night in an outage.

I'll have to see if I can get similar data on a graph (albeit updated far less often) in home assistant.

I'd never go back to gas. Only fuel I burn is natural gas in my furnace. If it ever breaks it will be replaced with a heat pump. Looking at EV9 at the moment. I doubt I make any move until early 27 though since I got an extended warranty.

Same but October. Would any of you actually pay for this? Seems absurd to me.

Yeah, the immediate responses and backlash mostly make me think they DO know who Hank is, or they did a very quick Google search. When they saw he's on the "NPR-ish" side of youtube creators, they just couldn't stop themselves from posting something negative about him.

I see E Transits around my area pretty often, I look for the blue in the grill when I see any ford vans. Also, Walmart is using them for direct store to home deliveries. I wonder if that contract would keep them being made? Also wonder if they get EREV with it as well.
