I’ve had plenty of positive reactions and only one negative (“not a mustang” shouted at me in a parking lot). Over all I feel like I’m getting less reactions now than I did 6 months ago.
I thought I'd be fine since it was a 15-20 minute drive from my home (depending on traffic), no highways, typical suburban streets, and I rarely fast charge or floor the car. (How did ford phrase it? Multiple Wide open throttle events? Lol) I think it was the heat that did my car in, though...
When my car bricked itself because of the HVBJB (pre software update), I was parked, but I was in a deserted strip mall. There weren't any open businesses within a 5-10 minute walk of me according to Google maps. I waited 2 hours in 100 degree heat for a tow. Luckily I had water and there was...
Reunited with Kestrel and it feels so good!!! Beyond excited to have my car back. When I picked it up my service advisor asked if I review cars on social media or anything like that, and I said “no, I don’t. Why do you ask?” He said that they got a call from Ford engineering and that’s only...
Maybe not yet but soon! I have a friend who basically gets ota updates to a chip in her brain. She’s literally a cyborg.
(It’s an anti-seizure medical device that reads the electric activity in her brain and zaps it if it detects activity that could lead to a seizure, ideally preventing it. It...
Maybe it’s kind of like the car version of a heart murmur. Most of the time it’s fine. Some people with heart murmurs can compete in marathons. But sometimes it can cause big problems. (Note I am not a doctor or an engineer or a mechanic.)
My dealership is confused that the part number of the HVBJB they’ve located doesn’t match their database. I’m not having a great experience with the BEV customer service at ford corporate either. Just got off the phone with them and they couldn’t give me a straight answer either (didn’t help...
I find I’m able to accelerate plenty fast enough to feel that g-force and hit the speed limit (wink wink) with a firm but no where close to flooring pressure when I’m in unbridled. Same with passing on the freeway. Ironically I had plans to take my car to the test and tune day once my local drag...
I also am dealing with a HVBJB failure, fast charged just a handful of times (and only once in the last few months) and floored the car exactly 0 times. The only risk factor I had was having a GT.
When I was in high school in the 1990s a friend had a car that didn’t have a radio. Literally no radio, not just a radio that was broken. (It also only had one side mirror.) She had a cheap boom box she used to play music. I can’t imagine buying a car that wouldn’t allow me to my tunes without...
I’m happy things are moving so quickly for you but my dealership has been saying since Friday am that the HVBJB is out of stock. Do you know where your dealership obtained one from?
