  1. Ford to idle F-150 Lightning EV plant in Dearborn for weeks

    Hopefully it's because ford is bringing in more in house development for modules and software. Tesla claims the cybertruck is already not being sold at a loss, first EV truck maker to do so. Maybe Ford will get there one day and this pain up front will get them there
  2. Ford CEO Jim Farley's fascinating 'take' on taking on Chinese car companies...

    Taking away subsidies would include the $7500, you do that and the only USA EV manufacture left is Tesla
  3. New BlueCruise Version 1.4 -- Smoother, More Natural Hands-Free Highway Drive Experience (9/26/24)

    Until Ford starts writing their own code for modules and stop relying on off the shelf, OTA will always be a pipe dream.
  4. Lariat ER slow charging is wearing me out

    I agree, most trucks drive around being used as large family cars with nothing in the bed Lightning matches the needs for most truck drivers. If you're going to actually pull anything a meaningful distance you really should be in a gas/diesel. But as anyone who is too lazy to walk 5 ft to grab...
  5. Ford Offers You Extra Power For $995 (For MachE GT)

    Owners don't deserve or have any right to anything that isn't promised. You paid for something and got what they promised. That is pretty much the end of any concerns of what is right. If they decided that they can unlock more performance with only slightly more possibility of warranty claims...
  6. NACS Extension Cable Coming From Tesla

    Nothing wrong with Tesla suggesting the port location, it's really the most obvious solution instead of modifying every existing charging station. If other manufactures are not happy about it then they shouldn't use the Tesla charge port. I mean it's already embarrassing enough that to get the...
  7. Ford stops shipment of 2024 Lightnings due to unspecified issue

    did drop slightly in after hrs trading but seems minor compared to all the other issues Ford has had in the past
  8. Ford Intelligent Backup on existing Tesla Solar + Powerwalls system

    Would be interesting, maybe once Tesla does allow their cars to do V2L or V2H it might be doable. Tesla's system is so seamless I wouldn't want to do anything to mess with it's function
  9. State Farm / FordPass / Connected Car Enrollment ?

    I completely gave up on trying to get a good score with the drive safe app. I tried to see how bad of a score i could get and was surprised to see it didn't change much One thing that did make a huge change was the time my wife's app stopped working and it didn't log any drives, the discount...
  10. Ford beats Q2 expectations

    Great results but after hours still down more than close. Looking fwd to the open
  11. Adaptive/blue cruise delayed slowing?

    This seems to be sort of normal for adaptive cruise cars, although I would expect much better from the Blue Cruise system that uses radar. My i3 with TJA does the same, but it lacks radar, only has one camera, and no OTA updates so it's understandable and impressive that it even works in the...
  12. Adding Tesla Model 3 to the Stable

    They will be/are the EV version of the Toyota Camry/Corolla of the world, longest lasting and everywhere. I'm happy to trade misaligned / panel gaps for a well engineered designed cooling/drivetrain/battery.
  13. Adding Tesla Model 3 to the Stable

    As long as you don't mind looking like every car on the road lol. Im saying that as I have 2 white model 3s (M3P and RWD). It's hilarious how many there are on the roads now, when I come across another one i try to drive behind it. I must not be the only one, last time we made a mini convoy...
  14. Out of Spec Drives Silverado EV

    That's some amazing efficiency for the weight and possible 500 range wow! If only it looked better lol
  15. Munro predicts Ford will switch to NACS only (Tesla standard) based on their announcement from last week.

    Lots of BMW i3 owners report having to lift up the CCS charger to get it to charge due to the weight, EA has actually recommended this to many i3 users when they called in to ask for help with charging. Tesla charger is smaller than CCS but I'm sure I could break both if I wanted to. I don't...
  16. F-150 Lightning to gain access to Tesla Superchargers! Get standard NACS port starting 2025!

    Really have to admire how Farley is not afraid to praise Tesla, for the most part (he did make a remark about building cars in tents at one point). Taking the strongest points of another company and joining it with yours without being concerned about what others think while benefiting the...
  17. Anyone want to share current financing rates, just want to make sure dealer is being square.

    Hawaii credit unions have great rates for some reason, a friend got 2.75% 36months from Hawaiian Financial (3% plus EVs get 0.25% off), Hickam Federal is supposed to be even lower. Hickam requirements is live in Hawaii or lived in Hawaii or have a family member who is a member.
  18. Wrong kind of lightning strike - damaged charger

    Wow that is nice! The two times I emailed them technical questions about their charger I was surprised to receive an email back from a real person who knew the product in 1-2days.
  19. Wrong kind of lightning strike - damaged charger

    True, we used to put electrolytics in backwards as fireworks. Come to think of it, it's a somewhat sealed box so the air pressure of it popping tops of caps is probably what did it
