Wow, That looks pretty awesome. Congratulations. That should be a blast on the track and if there is a 350 Kw charger nearby, 18 minutes to get from 10% to 80%!
Is the one from Ziegler through Ford, or are they going through a 3rd party warranty company? If it is a 3rd party warranty I would make sure you have a good understanding of exactly what is covered and excluded from coverage on the new policy.
I have heard that stores like Costco and Walmart are big enough that they can buy the tires direct from Bridgestone in huge quantities and as a result get them at a lower cost than your local tire store can get them. These stores also tend to use products like these as lost leaders where they...
I get it, and while I also have a very low opinion of Elon, I also do not judge a car based on who the CEO is of the company.
I judge a car based on the comfort, features, performance, convenience and value received for the price. Just looking at the cars, the Ioniq 5 N is almost $15,000...
😂 I really do miss the MME, but I think even if I had a 2025 I would be going through HVBJBs faster than I go through tires. I am coming up on 35K on my Model 3 performance and am on my 3rd set of tires, second cabin filter and 2nd set of wipers. However, since delivery day it has never needed...
Most dealers are like this. For a tech to become certified to work on high voltage components they have to go to off site training and spend days (if not weeks) in training with Ford. During this time they take a considerable pay hit because they are not at the dealer billing hours for...
Like Rick noted above, Ford does not automatically provide a loaner/rental car even for warranty work. That is on a case by case basis, and subject to the limitations noted above.
There are some dealers who choose to purchase their their own loaner fleet and therefore they can decide who...
That looks like something has been rubbing on the inner edge of the tire. I am betting that is not the stock tire size or there have been modifications to the suspension on that MME.
I think the problem here will be you do not know what caused the SSN message 2 years ago so there is no way to tell if the HV A/C compressor was acting up then or not. Also, 2 years is a long time for the light to stay off if there was really a constant fault with the compressor. I hope I am...
I would be very surprised if it is the battery causing the problem here. OP says he drove for a while before getting the SVS. That would tell me the 12V had a long time to charge due to the OPs road trip they were on.
A lot of people do not realize that a TSB is just information published by the manufacture on common concerns they see and if that is the problem, how to fix that concern. The TSB does not mean that there is an extension to the warranty on that repair unless the TSB specifically says this...
When you walked into the garage and the door opened, did you have the key fob in your pocket? I have found with our Subaru if I have the key fob in my pocket and am working in the garage the buttons on the key fob will get pressed in my pocket as i am moving around and the car will...
Ford allowed one adapter per VIN up until a certain date. The owner had to request it online. Unfortunately the last day to request one has already come and gone.
That is because the Tesla does better job of managing the state of charge of the low voltage battery and gives warnings if it sees problems with low voltage. If your Tesla was made after November, 2021, it does not have a 12 volt battery since Tesla went to a 16v lithium ion battery instead...
Like the others have pointed out, with the torque and weight of the MME, tire wear comes with the territory. Especially on the GT Summer only tires that have a softer rubber compound than the all season tires that come on the other models.
Even with the all seasons, if you are really hard...
I would not over think the situation. If it were me, I would have the car around the 50% to 60% charge level. If you do leave it plugged in, I would set the max charge level to 50% since it would not be ideal to have a fully charged or discharged battery just sitting for a month. I also would...
This is not a police situation like some here have said. When you sign the repair order, you are giving the dealership permission to drive the car on public roads.
You said the mapping showed it was pretty close to the dealer. I know there were I knew exactly where my MME was but the app...
