  1. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    My selling dealer is 120 miles away. Both my locals have "additional markup" on every vehicle on their lots. My wife and I are too old to spend an entire day playing games and getting pissed off only to reach MSRP followed by attempted rape in their Finance offices.
  2. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    Something new, or an older recall you haven't done yet? Most dealerships have a third party service who contacts owners about open safety recalls. They are required by the manufacturer to have a certain percentage of recall completion on units registered in their area. They also get more...
  3. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    A "profitable" Service Department at an Automotive Dealership pays the expenses for the entire Dealership. (100% Absorption or better)
  4. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    If you want a status symbol attention getter and you are a Musk fanboy, then the CT is for you. Otherwise, it's not practical compared to the other EV trucks currently in production and in the pipeline.
  5. Betrayed [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; MEMBERS WARNED/BANNED]

    Only when you refuse to understand and accept it.
  6. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    It's the science denial that I'll never understand. As far as technology making techs feel threatened , there have always been those who embrace new technology and become proficient in doing so. That was my mindset when I was a tech. But EV training is probably lacking at more dealerships than...
  7. Betrayed [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; MEMBERS WARNED/BANNED]

    It would be impossible to outspend the oil industry.
  8. Betrayed [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; MEMBERS WARNED/BANNED]

    Not here anyway. Better chance in Europe I think. And now is different.
  9. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    I feel for you guys having these issues, especially so early in your ownership. I never knew there were EV hating dealerships here in the US when I purchased our 24 Lightning Lariat last fall. All of the Dealers I had contact with during the buying process were not negative about EV's at all...
  10. Betrayed [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS; MEMBERS WARNED/BANNED]

    I hear you. And now we've got "drill drill drill" which was expected, but not attempting to halt using the funds that were already allotted and then next will be him threatening states that don't do so.
  11. Sunvisor Homelink Swap - part # number and DIY

    I think you'd have to run power to this visor for the HomeLink to work, correct? I think it would be plug and play on a 22-23 Lariat w/o sunroof, but I think those already had this visor HomeLink? So if installing it on a Pro, XLT or Flash you'd have to run power. Maybe I'm wrong on this?.
  12. EV Charger Tax Credit/Rebate Woes ..... This Has GOT to be a joke!

    Right. Like I said, I don't understand what makes one area with middle income tract houses and some apartments not qualify when the tract right next to it with the same mixture does.
  13. EV Charger Tax Credit/Rebate Woes ..... This Has GOT to be a joke!

    I can't claim my charger on form 8911 because my GEOID is not listed as eligible. Both tracts 1 number higher and lower (Areas just North and South of me) are eligible for some reason, but mine is not. I have a friend that lives just a couple blocks from me, and his address qualifies. I don't...
  14. Can this tire be safely patched? or drill bit hole too close to the side wall?

    On motorcycle tires punctures can only be repaired as a temporary emergency repair, not a permanent repair like on a car/truck tire. (In the legally repairable zone on a car/truck tire than is, and not on a tire that's over 6 years of age or very worn) As a Motorsports Service Manager it was a...
  15. OEM Hankook tires

    This! Excessive wear on both inside and outside of all tires is underinflation. No alignment issue is going to cause this.
  16. OEM Hankook tires

    Your experiences are quite different than mine. I worked in a GM/Chevrolet Dealership for 22 years as a Tech, and out of the 15+ Service Managers that came and went only 1 or 2 had any previous hands on experience. After I left there I went to a multi line Motorcycle Dealership for 18 years. (17...
  17. OEM Hankook tires

    Typical Service manger that has Zero technical experience, and is just a bean counter filling the seat.
  18. California Lariat wheels/tires socal La

    So they dismounted the tires, removed the sensors and then remounted the tires?
  19. California Lariat wheels/tires socal La

    TPMS sensors missing? I thought they were internal?
  20. Sunvisor Homelink Swap - part # number and DIY

    For anyone who would like to add this feature to your 2024 Lariat or Platinum, I have 2 of these visors listed over in the Market Forum.
