  1. Breaking news for 2023 Mustang Mach E - IRS changes max MSRP to $80K

    My CPA (as am I) wife repeatedly reminds me that tax policy is politically generated and is why it makes no logical sense. My thought is that Base MSRP should be what qualifies a vehicle, not all the discretionary bells & whistles one wants to add on. Why should one be pushed out of the tax...
  2. Can power folding mirrors increase range?

    As stated above, anything that reduces cross-sectional area reduces drag & power required to push the truck thru the air (down the road in ground-pounding terms). I fly a Cessna Cardinal retract & if I leave the engine cowl flaps open (roughly 2 postcards) at a 45d angle to windstream, it will...
  3. Ford Mobile Power Cord tripping 50am breaker in cold weather

    Had no issues with mine. Truck outside in 28dF temps. 50 Amp circuit with #6 wire, no tripping or heating issues that I've seen with several charges of 12+ hours. Check CB & receptacle with heat gun, could just be poor connections or too small wire (#8).

  5. Apparently EA charging Stations are frying EV cars

    3 EA charging sessions & no problems. Seeing 175 amps a couple of times, 25-35% to 50% range then ramping down to the 150's.
  6. Dealers location with publicly available chargers on the Ford Pass App?

    Looks like some are listed & some aren't - my dealer in Kerrville has a small unit at the rear of their building, but it doesn't show up on Plugshare or Blue Oval, but several Ford dealers in the S Texas area do show up. I suspect it's a choice the dealer makes whether to have available to the...
  7. 12V Emergency Charger

    @Maryland Lightning: I've carried one of the 12V jump packs like this one from Home Depot - or Amazon etc. Will start most vehicles & carry it with me always. Used it more than once to jump off Lexus R400h hybrid and the wife's Camry Hybrid (same 12V setup as F150L). Heck it will even start...
