Same here - and I definitely didn't have a chance to use BC, I'm thinking WTH - how do they think I've had time to evaluate the release, especially concerning they truly give us very little to know about what was in the release.
I don't disagree, but what I'm pointing out is that most people read it and think it is a bad thing because you are only using the percentage which doesn't tell the whole story. It brings negative connotations and sadly too many people don't understand it. It is used to sound negative...
Got it as well when out to dinner, so I hit install while we were inside. Decided to come home and check ford.com for LVB. This was about 45 minutes after where I started the install and then drove about 2 miles home.
I think he got worked up likely about how you used the number and title "losing market share". - that is a catchy line that misleads the reader. Their percentage of the market may be smaller because there are a few others finally getting a car to market, it is no longer 95% Tesla, there are...
Ford has already told you the 511A isn't worth more than $65K - they proved that by selling effectively for that price - Ford $7500 and Fed Govt $7500. I don't know what dealers will do, but anything you pay a dealer over $72.5K and you know you are overpaying, provided you get the Fed govt $7500.
It's likely nice to see Mach E info reported, but aren't the MachE batteries as different to our trucks as a Tesla battery is? Different manufactures, composition, etc?
I have this weird feeling with the 2 major problems we've already seen from these batteries we need to be watching this very closely. (2 problems being Fire of a truck with `19 problems and the ongoing 4% of the battery issues which can leave you stranded at most any time.)
I don't' truly expect we will see plug and charge from Tesla. Tesla's infrastructure is far better and above Ford's, it truly works almost perfectly. They have no need to be bashed by Ford owners for the crap Ford is bringing to the table, which would cause dissatisfaction. I fully expect...
I know we are in a SW update thread, but I'll ask here anyway. What is the Home Assistant you speak of. Typically I'm connected and have all the gadgets, but I don't have that one.
Scratch that - I found the Home Assistant thread -...
OK - This SOC is even crazier. I went to read the MachE thread and clicked the link there - logged into my Ford Account again - I took these screen shots 25 minutes apart. I've not been to the truck, I didn't start the truck, I haven't driven the truck and now my "SOC" what ever it is from...
I logged in and love seeing that on the ford.com. I haven't done the leg work to see if it matches my true 12v battery SOC, but I can tell you it doesn't match my HVB SOC. The number of miles do match though. So I'm still really wondering if it is LVB or HVB.
However, this could take the...
Maybe not "extremely" bad news, but this is not good news in any way. They've touted every way they can they were on their way to 150K Lightnings per year. I've said all along they'd never get there. The sales don't support it. 4K in November likely only hit due to an extra $7500 off...
I would have to second this. I just spent 3 days in San Diego, just a get away weekend. The sheer number of Tesla's on the road was mind blowing. I thought we had quite a few here in Dallas, but nothing in comparison. I don't care where you were or where you looked, EVERY time I looked there...
That was definitely the hope and wish, First that Ford would build these on top of each other and then for the masses that didn't get this first go round, should now get caught up.
I just got in from a short trip, driving home from the airport 6.8 downloaded for me and should be installed now -...
I’ve been out of town 3 days. Will be back to the truck tomorrow. However if Ford doesn’t include historical updates like the SOC update from back in the summer, this will tell us just how bad they are at this game.
it will be interesting to see if those that didn’t get SOC will get it...
Garage princess here. Have loaded two different things in the bed and after 18 months still not one thing has been plugged into an outlet, but in TX we drive pickups.
I’ve met Mark before and see some of his tweets. He isn’t wrong but there are a lot of people that make crazy money. They may pay cash for the truck. Many Plaid S’s were sold at that 120k level too. Yes, the buyers may never see close to their purchase price back out of the vehicle, but...
He is referring strictly to the Range Extender with the late 2024. I saw that online and you asked him about the range extender. The truck is in the next 3 to 4 months.
