I recently returned from China, where I spent almost a month driving a Li L9.
Honestly, there is nothing on the market here right now that even comes close. The vehicle places you in a highly integrated digital cockpit with seamless interaction between the car, your phone, and the surrounding...
IMHO, this is a textbook example of big-corporation thinking: spend another billion to become an “AI company” and end up with yet another product nobody actually uses. :clap:
One day, when we’re all cruising around in Chinese EVs with 10k-mile range, some retired @FMC exec will realize they made the wrong call back in 2026.
But let’s be honest - with the kind of money they’ve got in retirement, they probably won’t care at all :crying:
The biggest disappointments in my Ford Lightning journey were the dealerships - and this letter :asshat:
The truck itself is amazing - I genuinely love it.
Honestly, as someone who’s done with gas engines and endless dealer visits, this letter pretty much seals it for me - my next truck will be fully electric, just not a Ford :lipssealed:
I’d honestly bet $50 that if this list could be shown directly to the FMC CEO without the layers of bureaucracy, it would be implemented in the current app or the next version.
Similar case -with 2k left before the warranty runs out.
I brought my truck to a third-party repair shop and paid $250 for a detailed inspection report (brakes, suspension, etc.).
In my case, everything checked out well except the rear brakes, which had about 20% remaining.
