Not likely. That's the same board who approved the crazy pay package for him that the courts later turned down.

You fail to see the efficiency because that's not the goal. Castrating the gov't and making it impossible to catch those cheating on their taxes is the goal. Us W-2 worker bees will still have to pay because of automatic withholding, but those who take in their money through other means that...

Not sure how this jibes with the report last week about the State Dept buying armored EVs. Seems like our current "leadership" is a bit confused about what each part is doing.

No Not the OP, but I had 1 incident in each direction. The first was when I was moving into the house last April. I had unhitched my utility trailer in the barn and pulled the truck onto the driveway to be ready to close the door. I was then working in the barn unloading the trailer when the...

I was wondering that, too. Both of my incidents were with the stock factory all seasons, which I just replaced with Michelin M+S tires from Costco. I can feel the traction difference while driving in the snow.

Makes no sense to people who are gearheads, but most drivers are not that. It's an electronically applied brake, not a traditional emergency brake with a lever to mechanically engage the brake. The cost of applying that brake to both axles seems negligible given the overall cost of the vehicle...

Aren't the Lightning's brakes disc all around? Not trying to be argumentative, but want to understand why an electronically applied brake wouldn't have been applied to both axles on a vehicle that is significantly heavier than the average vehicle.

I agree, but there is the fact that the Lightning automatically sets the parking brake when it's on an angle, which applies here. It's not unreasonable to think that action is setting brakes on more than one axle on a 4wd vehicle. It's a live and learn moment, for sure.

I know, I was just trying to be funny

Wasn't a sheet of ice in my case, was just snow. Unfortunately, the snow was wet enough to compact down but thick enough not to get me to pavement.

So it's tradition and we all know that tradition is never wrong :wink: :cool::ROFLMAO:

Seems like a questionable design to double-lock the back wheels (awl plus parking brake) with nothing locking the front, but, hey, I'm a software guy, not a mechanical engineer.

I can't be 100% sure if all 4 wheels slid or if 2 were turning - back 2 definitely slid based on the tracks in the snow on the drive. I just know that applying the physical brake stopped incident 2 immediately.

I have had 2 incidents where the e-brake did not prevent the vehicle from sliding down my driveway. The first (last winter) caught me completely by surprise as I was about 15 feet away from the truck and away it went. Fortunately, it turned sideways and stopped itself before it could get...

90% of the voting power is concentrated in the Ford family's hands. They care more about dividends than stock price appreciation from what I can tell.

Looks like T3 will likely be fleet-only? https://insideevs.com/news/749756/ford-large-ev-trucks-have-unresolvable-problems/ Edit: After rereading the article, maybe he's only referring to the HD class of vehicles?

Saw an article with Farley saying exactly that yesterday... now I need to find it again.

This administration doesn't care about norms or Congressional approval so I'm definitely concerned. I'm already not sure that the quote isn't inflated by enough that the installers are taking a large chunk of the tax credit, but my options around here are fairly limited. Went through EnergySage...

I guess this belongs here since it's not Lightning or even EV specific.... Been looking at adding solar. Have quotes (higher than expected) in hand and trying to decide what to do in light of the current administration's actions to unilaterally freeze funds in various areas over the past week...
