I've got this one popping up for me too... but it doesn't seem to want to install for me. I tell it to start manually, and it does the standard 'power off to start update', and then the countdown. I come back later and it is still saying there's an update. No errors, no messages in my app. I...
It's protectionism mostly, very short sighted as you say. I don't see a fire under US manufacturers to catch up, because they feel they don't need to. All of this is at the expense of the US consumer. I'm excited to see how things pan out for the rest of North America.
While it does give me pause that basically every automotive youtuber who experiences chinese EVs comes away super impressed, none of them have done any sort of longevity/wear and tear testing. There's also the factor that even if we allowed them all to come here, there won't be dealer/service...
Interestingly I've also been looking into an EV9 as a replacement for my '22. My inlaws got one a little while back and it seems great. With current kbb value, the 'wind' model is nearly an even trade after incentives.
I've got some things I need the truck for coming up though, might wait til...
I used Granger shortly after I purchased my truck. I only added on 2 years just because Ford B2B is only 3. The only annoyance is there is no longer any way to check the status of it yourself, you'll have to ask at a dealer service dept like someone else said.
something I always wondered about the extended range trucks with the dual onboard chargers... when charging at 40 amps and below, does it only ever use one of them, or does it switch back and forth to spread out the wear? I had my onboard charger go out in my model 3, wondering if one died in...
I'd never go back to gas. Only fuel I burn is natural gas in my furnace. If it ever breaks it will be replaced with a heat pump.
Looking at EV9 at the moment. I doubt I make any move until early 27 though since I got an extended warranty.
Yeah, the immediate responses and backlash mostly make me think they DO know who Hank is, or they did a very quick Google search. When they saw he's on the "NPR-ish" side of youtube creators, they just couldn't stop themselves from posting something negative about him.
I see E Transits around my area pretty often, I look for the blue in the grill when I see any ford vans. Also, Walmart is using them for direct store to home deliveries. I wonder if that contract would keep them being made? Also wonder if they get EREV with it as well.
Yeah, so, I drove from PA to Wisconsin this past summer, I couldn't believe the shoddy state of route 90 through Indiana. The only time I ever was glad to be entering Ohio in my life was on the way back.
EV stocks are always nightmares, even if the company is successful. Rivian, Nio, Lucid, they actually have sales and their long term charts look like Aptera's this week. Don't even get me started on Fisker, Nikola....
