The new pricing and features mean they'll hold off until they can clear current inventory. There's no reason to get one of the 23s on the lot today given just how much they've undercut themselves on pricing.

I simply made observations while referencing an ideology publicly being pursued by statistically relevant shareholders who control access to capital. I was in engineering classes at the same time some of the people they've got in control of programs were -- any guess on the makeup of the...

She seems like a diversity hire. Ford's been doing this a lot and it's reflecting in the quality and final outcome of the product. Had a gear head been put in charge of the MME, things would be much different. This is a direct result of the DEI push of black rock / state street / vanguard...

He owns 3 or 4 of them. Fanboi confirmed.

She kept harping on about "always on" as in they're tracking the cars telemetry very carefully. Made excuses for not having better information in the IPC like charging, saying they have to program multiple modules. That ignores the fact that the IPC can poll any of the other modules over the...

That's not what I took away from her comments. She said it was modeling and allowing components to reach higher temps but they weren't concerned about prior years because they're going "all in on the 2024".

If you sub and they break it again via OTA that auto installs, you're on the hook for the dealer to fix their broken OTAs. 4 hours of labor will set you back ~$600 additionally so buyer beware.

Their whole "always on" mantra is just complete BS. They're always on spewing nonsense.

They turn around and sell those cars at dealerships as used.

Yeah, not how it works. Tesla has some very poor wording in their manual and some foolishly believe it's "automatic". They really need to correct that. That's referring to if there's multiple EVSEs, each on their own circuit breaker, you can tell them the MAX power that can be pulled from all...

Yeah, but they're going to put cold gas thrusters on the roadster to make it faster off the line :facepalm: When I heard that the first picture that came to mind was a redneck in the back of a truck turning on a CO2 tank for b00000st Gemini almost gets it

Then buy a bike. Vehicles are evaluated as a package. Given this has 5 years on the MME, its performance is underwhelming. Did I mention it's ugly?

That's a huge pile of poo for sure. At least $3k worth.

Our future overlords agree it's still in its infancy

That thing was ugly when it first came out and it's ugly in its N variant. If ugly is your thing, consider a tesla. It comes with a charging network that works, no adapter needed.

"Worth" is a funny thing. BC isn't worth $800/yr. That's what they're currently asking for it. Based on forum feedback I'd guess the percentage uptake can be counted on 1 hand. Tesla thought theirs was worth $200/mo. They've now got it priced at $99/mo. They'll eventually find the sweet...

3 of 288mil vehicles in the US are EVs. If barely breaking 1% total market share isn't infancy, I don't know what is. China has around the same amount of 4 wheeled vehicles as the US, but more than 4x as many EVs owned.

I use ford's ADAS for about 98% of my mileage. Both of my primary vehicles have 1.4 software installed. One is assist 2.0 and the other active. 1.4 even in mapped areas is still far too twitchy. I had it give up in a baby curve with the vehicle going onto the shoulder in hands free mode. It...

At the end of the year tesla had 10$ bil debt, 30bil cash on hand ford has 230$ bil debt, 40bil cash on hand Tesla's charging network when fully opened will generate them 25bil/yr and we're in the infancy of Ev adoption in the states. Assuming they're able to maintain their market share of...

That's doing a whole lot of nothing. Need to focus on the doors and areas around the wheel wells as well as in the trunk area behind the plastics.
