I have and it was a 1980 Ford Mustang around 1986. The crankshaft damper pulley broke its rubber mount, loosening the accessory belt. The power steering, coolant pump, and electric generator stopped, then the engine overheated which stopped the engine on the highway. I managed to coast to the...

He gave you the finger because you are driving a Ford.

I agree that EV charging should never be free. Or have it under supervision and control by the business offering free charging. You park your EV, enter the business, then ask the business operator to activate the charger remotely. This way, they can deactivate it when you leave, and set up for...

Ugh! Another foreign imorted EV!

That is not as bad as when the first gasoline cars were made and sold over a hundred years ago. It took over twenty years for the ratio of cars to stations to go in the right direction, too.

How about putting on a police siren to scare away potential crooks? Or an ambulance siren to clear away traffic jams?

... then those dealers increase their prices by that same $2,000.

It will cost me less than $100 but that option was not posted. I have the materials, experience, and licensing to do it myself. BTW, my home is made with reinforced concrete, and I finished installing a 6 kW 240 VAC battery system by myself (panels, inverters, and 12 kWh of LFP batteries) on my...

You are obviously not an Electrical Engineer working with power applications.. I am. And you can ask any automobile manufacturer and they will agree to my point. So the only way you can update older electric cars is by a third party. Ford nor any manufacturer will do that.

I have seen the EQS close up. It is a medium sedan, not a crossover and it is too expensive. The MSRP in the U.S. Is over $110,000 and locally it sells for $140,000! And the charge port is at the right rear, so you have to back it up at charging stations. For that price I prefer buying two...

Probably a new car design. It is extremely difficult to retrofit existing or past built electric cars with newer cell chemistry since they need different voltages and dimensions per battery. Right now, the best chemistry is LFP or lithium-iron- phosphate, yet Ford cannot retrofit the present...

Yes, I have. In May, my 2014 Fusion Hybrid failed to shift from park, so I diagnosed that the brake switch was bad, and I entered the NHTSA site with my VIN to search for any recalls. It had a new recall for the brake switch which can fail. The brake switch has dual function, first to turn on...

Cold is any temperature that is close or below freezing. Warm is close to the human body temperature (96), and hot is above that.

I recommend coating the charge port contacts with light machine oil. It will not allow oxígen to touch the metal, but as soon as a charge plug is inserted the wiping of the metal surfaces will displace the oil, and will not put up any resistence. The surface cohesion of the oil will return to...

Sell the Mach-E to someone who does not need to drive far. Or move closer and see them in any EV. Finally, just use video calls and never need to drive. It is quite foolish to drive over 200 miles anyway.

That place is too cold! It is much better to do that in the smaller nations south of Mexico, all the way to Panama.

Canadá and Mexico qualify as they are part of North America. Even all the smaller nations down to Panama qualify.

So what? They can protest all they want, but the money comes from U.S. taxpayers and buying a North American products keeps that money more in the U.S. and less of it overseas. They can either stop selling their EVs here or lower prices to keep competing. Either way, the U.S. buyers wins.

On the Tesla service subject, the owners in Puerto Rico complained to Tesla for almost ten years since the first Model S were brought over. The first type of service was to coordinate a turn when one tech visited the island once a month for three days. After the Model 3 arrived, Tesla had to...
