Like others I never normally buy these but did with the Lightning. My dealer was willing to get close enough to the online dealer prices to make it worthwhile. Note I'm in CA so I would have had to go through some hoops to actually get those out-of-state online prices, but the dealer got quite...

On my 2022 Platinum the window sticker confirmed BlueCruise was included as standard but it made no mention of time limit or any trial period. I did get the "free" one year extension so mine is active through August 2026. I don't know it's reasonable to expect updates for free for life but I...

To your first bolded point, what it really means is that too many Americans were susceptible to lobbyist-driven FUD and misinformation, and to the second there are few greater subsidies than those offered to the fossil fuel industries. So if there really is an opportunity to get government out...

You did this yourself. You have activated MyKey, and it's doing exactly what you told it to.

almost always charge to 80%, and rarely let the SoC go below 40%. Don't often charge to 100% but do on occasion. The battery still shows 100% state of health, obviously we've yet to really determine how accurate that is.

Again, it does not appear that this lawsuit actually exists. It DOES, however, appear that you are susceptible to made-up AI-generated bullshit.

Not only is that almost certainly an AI-generated article, none of the supporting links to a supposed Reuters news story work, and a manual search of the Reuters news results in no matching stories.

Evidence?

These are people that get their talking points and world view from Facebook groups. Ford, thankfully, does not. BEVs can't do what ICE cars can do when it comes to range or fueling, yet the Model Y is one of the best selling vehicles period. Maybe the difference is that Tesla isn't hampered by...

What you are proposing makes zero business sense. The number of people who might (never mind would) buy that truck because they actually and regularly need 450 miles of EV range is small. The average American drives less than 40 miles per day. The average truck driver most probably more. Towing...

Ford should do absolutely none of these things. You may as well be telling us that the Mazda Miata would be the perfect car for a family of five "if they could figure out" how to make it a full size SUV.

Could not agree more. This is best truck I've ever owned by a massive margin. The issue, though, isn't the masses not knowing how good this truck is, it's that they have to deal with Ford's spectacularly shitty dealers if they want to get one.

Speed adjustment for approaching curves is a selectable option, if I remember right it’s in the cruise control settings.

There's really no reason for Ford to comment on rumor beyond what they've already stated. And as a shareholder, I'd be disappointed if Ford management wasn't constantly asking this question about almost all of their offerings. With that said this is obvious lazy journalism, with no actual...

Ford offers a performance tune for the Mach E that increases power and performance and, rumor has it, has considered offering something similar for Lightning, If more power and performance can be uncorked through software only then by definition the standard offering must logically be at least...
