The model Y is already stripped-down and streamlined. The announcement of a "new car" coincided a 45% drop in TSLA over five months. It was a cynical attempt to stem the bleeding. And it kind of worked...🤷

It's still a Ford.🤣

My "good deal" in 2022 was A-plan and a $7500 tax rebate. Since then my truck has probably lost about half it's value, so it wasn't a great financial decision. However, I genuinely enjoy the time I spend in my truck and I don't plan on selling it anytime soon. In my case, the time I've had the...

Drive your current truck until it becomes a problem. You are talking about spending $30k for a potential problem.

Sigh...as expected, "module updates" didn't work. I'm taking it back next week. I asked specifically for a battery health test. We'll see how it goes. Thankfully, I still have nearly full use of my truck. I'm annoyed at this point but not a huge deal.

Duuuude...it ain't a golf cart. A little pedal goes a long way.?

Do you live in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, etc?

This is similar to how most people use a vehicle, myself included. I've towed a trailer outside the range of my truck exactly once since I've owned it and that was only because I didn't leave with a full charge. I'm not shopping for a Powerboost because I realize this is an edge case for me.

My mannequin has a 42/42k warranty. I was under the impression that was SOP because dealers weren't allowed to sell them for 180 days after taking delivery. @RickLightning disagrees with this assumption. I'm inclined to believe him.

I would not be interested in an EV if I couldn't easily charge at home. When compared to an ICE vehicle, charging at home is better than filling up a gas tank. However, charging at a public DC charger is worse than filling up a gas tank. Where would you normally park in the condo? Where is the...

No idea, but I replaced the sunroof track on an older generation F150 in a day by myself. It was the first and only one I've ever done. I'm going to go out on a limb and say an experienced Ford tech has worked on...uh...a lot of sunroofs and can knock out any required repairs in a few hours.

Terrible service. Name the dealership, they don't want my business.

There's a lot of good information here but it's probably more in depth than it needs to be. If you want to use the Ford Mobile Charger to charge your truck at 240V/30A you must install a 40A or 50A circuit with a 14-50 outlet. There are chargers that will charge at lower amperage and the Ford...

Did you have your FOB with you when you setup the backup passcode? I was able to reset my PAAK but unable to reset the backup passcode after several attempts. I don't have access to my FOB and won't for awhile. I do have access to my wife's FOB and her backup passcode still works so at least I...

I'm not talking about regen, aggressive driving, using friction brakes, or driving faster. I'm making a simple point. Accelerating quickly has little impact on REAL WORLD driving efficiency. There's a misconception that rapid acceleration in an EV has significant affect on efficiency. This is...

You "proved" your point by demonstrating a faster vehicle is less efficient. Accelerating at 1g for 1km puts you at like 300mph. Not useful information. Do the math to a reasonable speed instead of a distance and report back your findings. To be clear, we are all in agreement speed kills...

I was talking specifically about acceleration in the real world. If more energy is required to accelerate quickly to the same speed, where does the extra energy go. I suppose there could be a little friction loss if you break traction and maybe a tiny amount of heat loss but these aren't...

OTA 10.3.0 removed charging locations and wouldn't allow me to add any back. Three days later it fixed itself.

1. Union workers assemble vehicles. They don't have anything to do with design or logistics and their part in quality control is exactly what management says it is. 2. I'm a proud union worker who would not be able to afford a fancy new truck with what my employer would be willing to pay me...

As I've been reading through your tale I've been asking myself this question as well. Thankfully, I'm not in a situation where I need to replace my Lightning but if I were I don't know what I'd do. It would be real hard to go to less than 580hp. A Rapter R would be a nice upgrade but that sweet...
