My guess would be they already produced a bunch of these prior to the announcement. Hopefully the shipping dates are an underpromise, overdeliver scenario
How would it work if the ballon amount amortized over 3 years even with 0% interest is more than your current payment? The contract states payment will stay the same if paid in 36 months or less.
I think it depends more on the individual dealer and how Ford is feeling. The dealer is not going to eat the costs for goodwill. Ford has to ultimately cover the repair.
If you purchased it there or they feel for you, they may go to bat with ford but there are some many factors you can’t...
It is a lot “inspection”. The air filter can be easily changed behind glovebox. Technically you can perform any required services at home or at private mechanic and warranty would be intact. Just keep record of it somehow.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered an issue with their iPhone when it is charging via the USB C or USB ports and connected to the Sync system via Wireless CarPlay. I have noticed that the phone starts to lags /slow down significantly over a time to where you can't type or use any apps...
Thanks for the list. It would be helpful to know what the rolling resistance is for these to compare to the OEM tires and to gauge what the range reduction would be. It seems hard to find that data.
The EV tires I see online for the stock 225/55/19 rims are Goodyear, Michelin, or Hankook EV...
That’s a European thing where level 2 chargers don’t have cables. People carry their own cables. It’s just a convention they adapted but it prevents issues charging with damaged cables or plugs.
The 220v outlets people have at home in Europe though prob can’t handle the amp needed to charge.
Yes while 240v would be nice, but 120v is ok if you can charge for 24-48hrs over a weekend especially at night or when the car is just sitting there. You will get 1kw/hr so you might get 25-50% charge which may need enough to get back to go around locally. It is also cheaper and/or may some save...
I think Tesla can get away with just having NACS and offering adapters on website to CCS users. They may not need to add magic docks everywhere or have as many out there to qualify for federal funding since now they can say NACS is a generic, common now that multiple car makers will use it. It...
There was pushback earlier from federal government when Tesla was claiming NACS was a national standard in terms of getting IRA federal funding for charging stations.
I think Tesla will qualify for massive federal subsidies without widely having to add magic dock or CCS capabilities. The NACS...
If two major US automakers adopt NACS, the % of NACS cars will increase dramatically. Current CCS chargers will either have to provide NACS plugs or adapters to cater to the NACS vehicles. In their calculations, they probably assumed all new cars except Tesla would all use CCS.
People can...
What about rotors and in reality with 1 pedal driving there shouldn’t be this “wear” so early on the pads and rotors. This is essentially due to design flaw in parts used in 2021 models
At 3500miles, I would expect them to change them under warranty. Just wondering what the experiences have been between the 12 month / 18k and the 3 yrs / 36k bumper to bumper
