Wow, just wow. Hyundai N isnāt screwing around. Just read the details. 2 full laps of the 12.9 mile Nurburgring with little/no performance degradation. All kinds of structural and mechanical enhancements. 8-speed shift mimicking ability. For around $70K. 640+ real HP. Youāre looking at a high...
Iām not posting data in a spreadsheet or table format, just a quick n dirty old school write up. The trip was fairly short, but instructive as to the range limitations in a sustained high speed environment. We already know this to a certain extent but I know many of you donāt have 80-85mph speed...
Weāre getting a driver seat belt sensor error but my obd2 plug in is failing me right now. Iām trying to determine if our dtc is just the belt sensor or a larger srs module problem. One we can drive with until svc can tech it, one we really canāt/shouldnāt. Thanks in advance. Iāll PM our VIN.
11/27- HVB and Powertrain Malfunction warnings at 8:09pm CST during light cruise. Power reduced to maybe Fiesta levels, wouldnāt know because my cars all have 425-475HP except the MME š¤·š»āāļø
11/28 - contacted local Ford dealers re: issue with details to determine who could service soonest...
20,299 miles. Happened last night during cruise, not a WOT event. Probably DCFCād 15-20 times ever, still have 150 of our free 500kwh.
Car is going in to dealer this afternoon and I already called the Ford BEV team and got a case set up for any potential assistance in the process.
Yippee-ki-yay!
Yes folks, itās already been a year since @0t60-3.5 clued us all in on the fact that something wasnāt quite right. Revel in the glory that is the 80 page thread that started it all...
And, they werenāt willing to even fit us in due to the safety issue. I normally donāt rag on dealers, in fact, I usually support them on forums to an extent. However, this is garbage so Iām whining about it here š¤£.
And Iām not waiting on the OTA update because my wife drives her 4X on a 100...

Ok Ford, itās now official, your 6900lb top spec Lightning is as quick as the 4900lb MME GTs in the 1/4 mile and far exceeds their trap speeds. When will you address this issue? @Ford Motor Company
Let me preface this by saying Iāve been playing around with different launch techniques because it seems Ford has limited initial output. Iāve done 1pd off/on, TCS off/on, Engaged vs Unbridled blah blah. So far, the quickest run occurred just the other day at 88% SOC with 1pd off and Unbridled...
Went out to run a quick errand this afternoon and decided to stop at our nearby EA chargers to use up some of our free charging balance (thanks @Ford Motor Company ). Low and behold, Electrify America chose our location as the first nationwide to do this:
Great idea to make the charging speeds...

Iām on record as saying I like the digital Lancia Delta Integrale looks a lot, interior - not so much but itās ok. What stands out are the 4.4 0-60 and [email protected] 1/4 mile runs, very good for this...
Bought them from Tire Rack as part of a wheel/tire package but the wheels didnāt work out. See my other thread about the ASA GT-14 wheel issue. Anyway, Tire Rack couldnāt accept a tire return since we did take them through the neighborhood testing the new wheel fitment out.
Tires have approx...
Ok. Iāll get this out of the way up front. ASAs are a decent tuner type wheel but they arenāt expensive ($265 each) theyāre made in China, and did I say theyāre cheap already? ?. However, the overall finish/quality is actually very good and they are also about 5 lbs lighter per wheel than the...
Just threw the new rims and rubber on my wifeās 4X and thought Iād share here. Wheels are all 45 offset. Tires are Continental EC DWS-06 in 255/45-20. Each wheel/tire combo weighs 57 lbs, which is 3 lbs less than the OEM Premium wheels with the summer tire option.

Ok @Ford Motor Company, all of the major mainstream mags are now calling the GTPE the loser against the Y Performance and it seems that if the 5 sec. 100% power rule didnāt exist youād have a...
Ford CEO Jim Farley Is the 2022 MotorTrend Person of the Year
The Blue Oval's top exec has overseen a dramatic shift for the iconic American automaker.

Good choice, MT!
Now, about that Time Magazine Elon...
Another comparison video by reviewers Iāve been watching for a while reaches the same conclusion weāre all getting used to hearing:
One does it all well while even adding in personality and a dose of handling capability.
One is a driving appliance.
One is a fast heap of shit. ?
Discuss.

I canāt wait until the mainstream auto media entities start doing more actual range testing and including those results rather than EPA estimates. All 3 of...
Gotta say, these are some ugly Continentals. And whatās up with that pattern on the sidewalls? Iām sure theyāre stickier than the OEM Michelin A/S tires but weāre ordering some 20ā x 8.5ā wheels with 245/45s so Iām going take them off and sell them. Shoulda saved the $250 we spent on the option.
Just did the online checkout and received the congratulations! Ford Credit approval, however, the screen where you sign the offer has all of the Estimated Amounts (apr 2.25/48 mos, monthly pymnt etc) filled in correctly but the Offer blanks just have 0s instead of any offer amounts. Does that...
