We need to get the message to Ford that a lot of Platinum Lightning buyers want a smaller wheel size. It looks great, bu 20's or even 18's would be far preferable given the range and ride penalties. I'm still going Platinum but will be forced aftermarket for wheels.
Elon's EU comment long since retracted - deposits being accepted in UK as I write - two of my friends have made them. I guess with Brexit, UK isn't technically EU.
Panasonic's pilot production line is WHERE they identified the problems with both reliability/longevity and volume production...
This was never a thing and was never going to be a thing. Some folks around here refused to understand reality so bloviated endlessly about a proposed tax bill that never had a chance of being passed - that bill, which never got to the point of serious negotiation, would have had a limit of...
As a multi-Tesla owner, and current and former owner of many Fords, and decidedly not an EaglesPDX fan, I'll weigh in that Ford most definitely makes more reliable products than Tesla, and I'm fairly confident that the Lightning will be far better sorted than most Teslas, certainly with higher...
our farm has mission-critical pumps running 24/7 - three hours without power and millions of oyster babies die! Serious enough issue that we have alarm systems on every pump that send texts when a pump goes down. I realize this is not a normal residential situation, but more people than folks...
You can add any form of running board, including auto-deploy, and SiriusXM is available through your subscription on streaming. I have SiriusXM in the TEsla, but mostly use my cell phone for streaming it anyway because it has the NFL channels, etc, that aren't on the Tesla subscription. The...
Agreed on FSD beta. I've had it for three weeks in my MX - simply the most amazing experience with technology in my life - makes it worth getting this far. It show you what it sees - and it sees everything - and reacts amazingly well. I had thought it would have problems with edge cases like...
I think you're likely okay with the Model 3. They are reporting far fewer suspension and drivetrain issues than the MS and MX. Mostly just horrible paint quality. The MX has a basic front drive design flaw, which is why my current car will go before warranty expiration. That issue may have...
Huh? As a CR member for 40+ years, I can tell you that their surveys are ONLY for actual owner with experience over a period of time. Yes, first year is included, but also multiple years. They track the entire first five years service experience in their database for every model of car sold...
Completely incorrect on every point. Every single point that I made and you attempt to refute is fully documented. I'm not going to do your research FOR you. The CT as shown in prototype is WAY bigger than the F-150. Both LG and Panasonic have said they cannot make the new format work in...
The same poll showing Tesla reliability issues found that Tesla owners had the highest likelihood to repurchase a Tesla for any poll ever taken in CR's history. Both things can exist in the same place. My Teslas have been the most unreliable vehicles that I have ever owned. Also the best...
We'll have a sat phone, supposedly with a data connection, not counting on anything. Was able to make an Iridium call when we went to the North Pole in 2018, couldn't get data-level speeds until back in Murmansk.
Got it, doubt it means anything. Am in Wave 2 according to my dealer, who is baffled at not having any Wave 1 orders despite being one of Florida's biggest dealers. Hope it is before next Thursday, as that's the day we wing to get on a ship to Antarctica...
See my expanded post above. One caveat and buyer-beware - my setup with the 9,750-pound boat trailer and the kayaks all acting as a parachute equals a recipe for 4.5-5.5 MPG from a PowerBoost F-150 - and range per tank of only 150 miles. This is not an advisable setup - far better to go with a...
My bars are all by Yakima but I bought them through Amazon. I have two sets of crossbars - the standard low bars, and the ones in this picture. This setup requires the Retrax XR tonneau with the tracks or the OEM Ford retractable tonneau system, which is made by Retrax, with the Ford logo. I...
