This. I agree they are entitled to be on the road, but if you are going to act like you are a car then obey the laws and don’t get mad if I don’t let you run through the stop sign or red light.

Model? Year? Residual?

Agree. First day reservation for the Lighting. Wasn’t invited to order until the eighth wave? By that time, the cheapest model available was the XLT at 65,000. I passed and got my $100 back.

I really like Race Red. Almost got it for my Bronco but I think it’s a color that only looks good when the car is washed and clean. It the car has layer of dust it just looks dull to me. The flat paint can’t overcome any dust or dirt.

Thanks for the link. I am in the same position as you and did not want to do an upgrade in a leased vehicle.

Unfortunately this is not unusual for today’s cars. We had a 2018 Lexus RX that my sister-in-law backed into. She was parked two feet in front of us and may have gotten to 3mph before she hit the front bumper. No visible damage but a couple of the plastic tabs on the bumper and one on the...

I’ve seen it on the GT and it does look better in person. I really liked it but don’t know if it is for me.

It says it is ‘peer reviewed’ but this study is the exact kind that would never be published in the medical field. thus study sets up the parameters beforehand to yield a desired result - namely the people can reduce their carbon footprint. That’s the whole purpose of this study.

I like the Hyundai Ioniqs also, but I did not find their seats to be comfortable.

I have a 2024 Select RWD that is on a 24 month lease that will expire in November of this year. I agree that the car has been outstanding. It is my wife’s favorite car we have ever had. I will certainly look at options outside of Ford but at this time I don’t see a reason we will not upgrade...

That would settle it for me. I have to get my mom in and out of our car so if it is too low that’s not going to work.

Is any EV manufacturer profitable? Tesla rolled out cheaper versions of its Model Y and 3 cars in November. Their sales dropped 23% year over year. It is their lowest sales in 4 years. My question is this - can any EV manufacturer make a profit in 2025 without government subsidies or tax...

No. No. No. If you don’t want to actually drive the car let your wife drive. The rest of us don’t want a glorified taxi. We like to drive.

No arguments on Ford’s past strategy - although I don’t think any legacy manufacturer domestic or foreign has done any better. Maybe the Japanese have because they have been so reluctant to make the transition. IMO car manufacturers got caught up in the EV hype before the customers were there...

Here’s a partial list of discontinued EV models by manufacturers. This does not include models that were planned but dropped (vaporware as @Kamuelaflyer likes to say). It seems a lot of manufacturers are having profitability issues with EVs. serious question: does anyone know if the Chinese...
