So this thread popped up again in my feed, and another thought popped into my brain as I learned (or pre-Alzheimer self invented - so do your own research here) something new in the last couple of years... It turns out that steel and aluminum have different reactions to stress and fatigue...

67 Stang Convertible said: I've thought about the Lightning Fob, I use my Frunk. Every grocery run, the bags go in the Frunk. But I'm usually PAAK when at the store. What I really want is a power lift gate Frunk activated by the foot under the bumper. I can dream can't I? You are overthinking...

Thank You!

Good afternoon. I have a 22 Premier built in December 21. I've been stuck on 3.6.1 forever now and have been getting the runaround from the OTA team. The dealer says everything is up to date and they opened a ticket with Ford who wouldn't even run the VIN and just said to make sure the...

I get that, but in general the only way to determine state of charge of the battery is to momentarily suspend the charging and check the voltage, and potentially the available amperage but that would be a more elaborate measuring system - right? It's not like a battery has a dipstick. 12.8vdc...

I suspect that the level of my LVB is why I don't get updates. Does anyone know what voltage needs to show on the battery if I put test leads on it while the car is switched off?

True. Your bad luck notwithstanding though, one advantage to a plug in system like this though is that you can take if back out while you are still under warranty and just shrug when you take it to the dealer...

People seem genuinely interested in figuring this out. Let me offer a little perspective here. This has been covered a little in this thread but I'll try a new spin. Ground rules - If you already have an opinion on this matter that cannot be swayed and you have no interest in hearing what I...

I've heard of Larry. I think there is a reason he went ahead and registered with his full name, he has a reputation that some people respect. You are correct, however: I don't worry about random people.

Anger is also a factor in decreasing lifespan. I could propose that in 3 years you and Larry both take your cars and pink slips in to have your battery health measured at the same time... is that what you are proposing? I'm kidding... Geez. Don't charge your epinehrine level up to 90% In...

[/USER] OK, but we are talking about batteries. How is your Rav4 battery holding up after 20 years?

Larry's post feels like a more realistic way of looking at it... The United Nations says life expectancy is 72.6 years... Should we all plan our retirement and 401k based on that generic average? Obviously we can do better by drillng down to where we live, gender, habits, health history...

Even when BC turns off on those curves I presume that it still functions in the hands on mode.

I have mixed results with Bluecruise, just had it serviced and it's better but still not up to par I think. By far the worst results are unfortunately most of my commute to the office. Bluecruise is fine on the 5 from Valencia to about the top of the grade going south, then pretty much useless...

Understand that they want to play dumb. They might be able to submit price protection without you knowing and keep the difference if they are crafty with the paperwork. They will also be happy to not submit it if they think you might walk away from the car. If you don't buy it then they get...

I was pretty upset about this when I ordered my car, and was hopeful Ford would fix it when we rolled over to 22s, but no. I did a bit of research and was planning on adding either ventilation or cooled seats to my car when I got it. Note that ventilated seats take ambient air in the cabin and...

It allows you to lift off the glass roof like a convertible. Don't press it while you are driving. I'm kidding.

First and foremost, wow. I picked up my car today. Fantastic. A short test drive does not do the car justice. A few things I wanted to share, first about the buying experience. Galpin Ford and specifically my salesman Neil Stone was fantastic. He really worked to do everything he could to...

I'll press for it - thanks for letting me know!

Galpin said they don't think they are doing that. Anyone know if that is a Ford thing or a Dealer offer? I'm on X plan if that matters. I pick the car up in 15 hours. By the way, 281 days. That's 1 day longer than it takes on average to have a baby.
