Saw this article and wondering if this might be one of the reasons EVs are not selling as quickly: https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-only-ev-worth-buying-right-now-charging-nacs-ccs-2023-7

I have a first minute reservation and am bummed that GM announced that the base EV WT will not be offered at $40K. Looks like they are citing chip shortages and increased costs from 2 years ago's announcement ? Your thoughts ...

Went to my independent for 10K maintenance (fluids, filters, lube, brake check, etc...) They pulled 2 OBD faults that they said I needed to follow up with Ford: Brake switch fault - brake pedal switch = never noticed any braking issues and no warnings on displays. Control module...

Just got notice from Auto Club So Cal (AAA/ACSC) about a discount for EVGo. I added to my EVGo AutoCharge + feature (just plug and charge - no app needed). I am in their plain "Pay As you Go" member. With AAA/ACSC I am saving $1 per charge session! Rates have now come down to $0.42/kWH...

Got this message from Ford Pass app. As of 5/15/23, SecuriAlert will be ending. Probably a good idea since it never worked right.

Does anyone know which rail line, date and where Ford vehicles were damaged in a fire and/or derailment ?

Email from Ford to accept new T&C for Early Access. Guessing they want to know if you still want to participate in future surveys ??

Just received from Ford. What are your thoughts on why one should join this data collection option ? Does it help Ford or someone else ?

Next week, Dept of Treasury (IRS) is going to rule on the battery sourcing / minerals / assembly. Based on other forum members' interpretations that Ford EVs may end up with half tax credit ($3750). Does this news sway anyone from completing their purchase after the IRS makes that ruling ...

https://www.silveradoevolution.com/forum/threads/2024-silverado-ev-wt-base-work-truck-42k-new-video.6545/ 1200lb payload, 8000lb tow, $42K base price. Available after RST rollout. Looking forward to the base EV WT for $42K since I got cheated out of the Lightning Pro & XLT trim.

Yesterday - for my once a week charging routine at home (L2), I plugged in and Ford Pass app said full charge will be the next day (36 hours). I found that odd as I normally charge fully after 4-5 hours. My charger app showed full rate (11kW) consistently for 4 hours (44kW). After 5 hours...

Has anyone been asked to participate in a survey from Sift Research out of San Clemente, CA ? I got invited via email and they pay $500 if I participate in an Automotive Market Research Study. They want to know: lifestyle, purchase preferences, activities, usage, with the Lightning. Powerpoint...

Hilarious videos for Superbowl released by GM:

So today I went to a Ford dealer to test drive one of many customer abandoned MME on the lot. Forgiving them for $10K ADM and $20K ADM on Lightnings; we got into a discussion on dealer profit with the sales manager. The sales manager said they make $1500-$2100 per EV they sell (Lightning or...

Saw this on my dealer's website at $41K and thought - wow ! At that window sticker price, is it a demo or customer refused ?

Just hit the newswire from IRS. Change in maximum MSRP to $80K instead of the original $55K. Means all MME are eligible for the full tax credit in 2023 but before March when the IRS rules. Combine the tax credit for the next month plus the new lower prices - makes it a good time to get an MME!

Yesterday, I went out of my way to get an EA charge because this location that had 6 chargers and has been down for over 3 weeks. Saw on the EA app that 8 chargers were available. Drove in and found a team of installers finishing work on the new EA 350kW HyperFast chargers. Initially I drove...

Received a Ford EA survey and they had a LOT of questions on the rollout, information, features, improvements. Took over 10 minutes to complete the survey. Looks like Ford cares about future OTA updates.

How is the Ford Pass Connected services transferred from the original owner to a second owner ? Does it need to go thru a Ford dealer or contact FoMoCo ? I know how to wipe the Sync system but didn't know how to handle the transfer to the second owner.

I know the 2022 HOV stickers were yellow, but does anyone know what color the 2023 will be ?
