    What's the correct new part number for HVBJB? My GT is currently in the shop.

    I got stuck with the old remanufactured part - keep fighting for the correct one

    Article: "Tesla’s Sales Drop, a Sign That Its Grip on the E.V. Market Is Slipping"

    Although Iā€™ve done ok with Tesla puts over the last year, I just closed out my last batch. Iā€™m not buying a second round, and I donā€™t see the demise of the company akin to the NY Times - I just disagreed with its valuation. At the end of the day, as of 4/2/24 with the sales decline and other...

    A New Hope? The Story Continues.

    Odd this thread detoured into a crazy discussion of the availability of the EV tax credit, given its origins - OP knowingly bought a returned lemon MMe. Didn't see this coming... Not sure how things will end, but given our collective experiences with this thread, it seems unlikely it will end...

    Keep it or get out now

    The only reason to monetize your loss now would be to take advantage of another vehicle (that you like) that happens to be taking an even greater level of depreciation. I recognize there are moments in time where dislocations in the marketplace make a ā€œswapā€ type transaction attractive...

    US to probe Texas fatal crash that may have involved Ford partially automated driving system

    This makes it sound like the Honda driver survived the crash and later died in the hospital. There is no reason to believe the MMe driver knew the severity or result of the injuries when he posted. I encourage those who commented on his frame of mind when he made the original post to revisit...

    A New Hope? The Story Continues.

    I read these posts for the same reason I watch Oak Island - I believe treasure will be found eventually.

    Brand new 2022 on a dealer lot, $7500 tax credit?

    Under the tax regulations, the car has to qualify AND the individual has to independently qualify. The date on which the qualification is measured/matters, is the date the car goes into service (eg, you canā€™t early pay in December and take the tax credit for a car that is delivered in January -...

    High Voltage Battery Junction Box (23S56) and missing Premium Care EV warranty?

    My extended warranty has never shown up in FordPass. At first I was concerned, but the dealership can ā€œSeeā€œ the warranty in its system (and printed it for me). I put a copy in the glovebox and moved on to worrying about something else.

    New IIHS ratings for advanced driver assistance systems

    My MMe and itā€™s BC are old (Nov. 2020 build). Yet I love its OG hands-free driving. Iā€™ve become so addicted to BC that I turned down my Blazer EV reservation because it could not be ordered with Supercruise.

    Love my MachE and now a rant

    Itā€™s amusing to see folks get triggered a post that expressly states it will end with a rant. lol

    Who is repenting the decision of purchasing a Mach e? I am for sure

    Iā€˜ve had a love-hate relationship with my First Edition since day one. On one hand - Itā€™s stranded me in the cold more than once, hasn't been particularly reliable, and EVERY time it goes to the dealership it takes forever to get parts/repair. On the other hand, itā€™s by far the best looking EV...

    Ford Slashes 2023 Mach-E Pricing For All Trims, Up to $8K on Certain Models

    As someone who has bought a new EV every few years, I felt disproportionately impacted by the declining market for EVsā€¦ But perhaps not. I WAS content to by my First Edition for $60k, trade it in after a few years for $40k and buy a new EV for $70k (e.g., $30k additional $). I should be...

    2022 cyber orange stolen from my driveway (FOUND) [āš ļø ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Relax Arthur, Iā€™m not sure every such reference is political. Connecting dots between (1) the likelihood that oneā€™s MMe will get stolen, and (2) the likelihood of active police assistance, seem directly related to the various preparatory measures MMe owners might consider taking (eg, AirTag, rfd...

    MME vs Chevy Equinox EV

    My son bought a 24 Trax. Itā€™s a nice vehicle at a great price. If the Equinox turns out like an electrified 24 Trax, that can be purchased for $38k with AWD, and goes almost 300 miles on a charge, it should be good for GM. I turned down my Blazer EV (I was very early in line), because I...

    MME vs. Cadillac Lyriq

    With a $12,500 discount to MSRP, Iā€™m surprised youā€™re declining it. That Lyriq Sport 2 is a very nice ride for $59k.
