Jason, Mine shipped on the 4th. It was built on the 19th. I'm not taking delivery as I ended up buying a Explorer ST Line because the family balked at not having a 3rd row vehicle. Once we get to the three year mark on her Mach e GT, I'll trade that in on a 3rd row BEV (hopefully more...

thanks Mark. Enjoyed the discussions. Cheers

Hey all, Local dealer made me an offer I couldn't refuse on an ST Line Explorer, so I won't be taking delivery of the BS OBX afterall. We've got three kids and don't have a 3rd row vehicle for when we are all in the car + grandma, so I took one for the team and gave up my BS order for the...

It still amazes me that people don't know how much money people make these days. I suspect most of these people are not financing. I don't finance anymore. My old boss from about 20 years ago) told me "never finance a depreciating asset". He was worth tens of millions back then, so I just...

This is the most dumbass thing I've ever read about cars. Two words totally debunks this entire notion; waste-gate. If what you said was true, how exactly would a waste-gate work? Sorry, you really have to have zero knowledge of the system to 1) say such a thing and/or 2) actually believe such...

Not a brag here, but I can afford the full size Bronco, but it just doesn't fit my needs as a DD. Even though the price of fuel isn't going to make a difference in my life, I just can't see 18 MPG as something I get excited about. I DD my F350 diesel at 14 mpg, so I am excited to save that for...

No apologies necessary. I think you make a valid point for sure. Honestly, we bought it because I used to work for Ford and get a good deal on them, and it was the only BEV that didn't look like it was trying to copy the cars from the 5th Element. Really, you wouldn't know if was a BEV from the...

Hmm, what changed? I forgot.

I can't speak to the Lightning, but I do own at Mach E GT. I don't call it a Mustang, but to each their own I guess. Doesn't both me either way. That said, six months in, my wife loves it as her DD. It is our first EV. We've never even owned a Hybrid. She won't go back to ICE I don't think...

yeah, better put an engine cover lock on it. You know, with the high price of gas, it's sure to be a target for thieves. :crackup:

:cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl::cwl:

this is the equivalent of saying you added new seat covers and increased your mileage by 5-6 MPG. If, indeed your MPG has increased, it was not due to an engine cover.

I totally understand that you have to defend you post, but you know as well as I do that the $12bb+ special expenses were not production volume dependent. so they could have produced a million more vehicles and that $12bb+ write down would have still been $12bb+. This has been an enjoyable...

You are conflating two different issues, 1) poorly run operations with 2) controlled imbalance of supply/demand. For anyone that can afford a $40k vehicle, I shouldn't have to explain why you are wrong, but sadly, it's the world we live in. Not having commodities to produce a certain...
