  1. A visit to the Skunkworks (Ford's EVDC) -- behind the scenes tour

    People say that, yet 99% of objects they own are….made in China. Chinese can make as good or bad of products as the companies pay them to make.
  2. Blue Cruise Subscription Older Mach E

    The IR nanny cam is horrible also. I finally am able to get it to stay on at night if I hold my head in the right position and don’t move at all. I enjoy BC but the older models cost was ridiculous. New Mach E get it for LIFE for cheaper than older models got a 3 year subscription. So Ford is...
  3. Blue Cruise Subscription Older Mach E

    And your Mach E can already fully control the vehicle when you apply a tiny bit of torque to the wheel on a non BC road. The road being mapped isn’t causing the car to be able to be hands free or not from a driving standpoint. And if we are supposed to believe the map is super...
  4. Blue Cruise Subscription Older Mach E

    Except Rivian doesn’t have Lidar currently and DOES have universal hands free on all marked roads…. You don’t need the mapping. And no one is really pointing to where Ford are really updating said maps…
  5. Thinking about going 100% EV - quick question

    1 charger took the cord to the middle of the garage along the ceiling and have a retractable cord holder. Pull it to whichever I want to charge easy.
  6. Blue Cruise Subscription Older Mach E

    99% sure the “map” is a geofence allowing blue cruise or not. And that hands free and hands off works exactly the same and Ford could easily enable hands free on all marked roads if they wanted…. But if it makes someone feel better to think roads are constantly getting mapped for an algorithm...
  7. 2 Fatal MME BlueCruise Crashes / Distracted Drivers

    I am certain you have a different reaction to 2 Fatal MME BlueCruise Crashes / Distracted Drivers than Drunk Driver involved in fatal accident. But ok.
  8. 2 Fatal MME BlueCruise Crashes / Distracted Drivers

    the driver, who was intoxicated at the time. Sure, she was drunk But BlueCruise is the headline.
  9. With gas prices likely to spike for a while, how you feeling with that EV now?

    People on an EV forum about the EV they own hate EVs. 10/10 would not recommend, drill baby drill. Probably a better question to ask on ICE forums.
  10. UEV Platform presentation coming Tuesday 2/17 11am ET: "Ford Bounty Hunters: The Pursuit of Efficiency." -- watch online

    Math…. Most homes have 2+ vehicles and if we are claiming the $60k+ is the sweet point for vehicles then people are spending $120-200k on vehicles…. You seem set on lower income people would never buy EVs though so there you have it. Legacy manufactures might as well drop out entirely and...

    Guess I haven’t seen any evidence that people’s poverty level determines ICE vs EV trust levels. Hard to prove what someone might do if they could afford something when it’s not an option for them in the first place. Tesla Model 3 seems to have done well keeping close to $35k starting though...

    You live also live in probably the most expensive state in the US while clearly having means above many other people. The top selling vehicles in the world are closer to that $30k starting price…and the #1 selling even was an EV before Elmo went even more crazy than normal. Average age of...
  13. Anyone want a free Stealth Hidden Hitch?

    If mine was a 25 and not a 23 I would do it, but it is not.
  14. UEV Platform presentation coming Tuesday 2/17 11am ET: "Ford Bounty Hunters: The Pursuit of Efficiency." -- watch online

    I personally don’t agree with this. I know plenty of people interested in EV’s until price tags start being talked about. Lighting is discontinued now, but the ones on the lot around me are still starting at $60k. While they got F150’s down at $40k. Now we can debate spec differences between...

    Most work / fleet trucks could be replaced with utility vans and it would serve the job site and drivers BETTER than using a truck. But good luck convincing Americans of that.
  16. Hands-Free Driving Systems Confuse Drivers, but Carmakers Push for More NHTSA investigates Ford’s product after deadly crashes...

    I think most of us can agree “Full Self Driving (Supervised)*” *requires hands on the wheel. Is pretty horrible naming.
  17. Re: Ford CEO Admits Its EV Strategy Failed. Here’s the Company’s New Plan

    And now that they shift plants to ICE they can recategorize the cost of building them into ICE loses and stop claiming building a plant makes the Mach E -billions. They won’t. But they could.
  18. New electric hum sound when car is on

    Did something else change? Like, where you running HVAC before and now your not for some reason? New battery and a software update I would bet 99% likely didn’t cause the hum. But possible you were covering it up before.
  19. Any MY21s Get the Orange Snowflake?

    Im guessing the number of people that would buy a, even cheap, laptop to enable an orange snow flake in their car is even less than the number of people who actually find the orange snowflake useful.
  20. Hands-Free Driving Systems Confuse Drivers, but Carmakers Push for More NHTSA investigates Ford’s product after deadly crashes...

    Large majority of the time someone “taps the breaks and the car speed up”, the answer is they didn’t hit the breaks. And that isn’t a technology problem…or at least not a computer one. Like: “data from the vehicle showed Seetaram had turned off the F-150’s cruise control before colliding with...
