Ford was sorta using hp in their trim differences around 2019. For example my Platinum Expedition was listed at 400hp, the lower trims were sub 400 in the marketing papers. The Lincoln version was 450 etc. I noticed all the trims were pretty much 400 by 2023. 91 definitely changes the tune...

Again the crazy news coverage of the EV vs cold weather drama was exactly this large number of city dwellers who park on the curb with no legitimate charger location at home. Long power cords likely on under rated junk old house plugs and circuits strung across public sidewalks is no bueno.

I do think the auto makers transitioned to full EV abandoning plugin hybrids too soon. For people who need a vehicle thats used for occasional longer trips not just local shuttle use the hybrids are excellent. As for reliability? Most are built around the Toyota hybrid system which is proven to...

Yep totally dead battery doesn’t need to be an EV could be your Dewalt battery drill too. Special charger for EV is a bit of a stretch but they likely needed Ford shop computer that ties to a charger to carefully bring the batteries back to life without damaging them. No different than hacking a...

Its an issue everywhere charging capacity is extremely limited. No different than ice cars stranded when gas pumps run dry or become scarce. Many regions in the US lack charging stations in a bad way. Especially the region that made front page US news.

Ford is loosing money on any product over 40k right now. COVID buyer hangover has hit all big ticket items.

That was definitely an issue with charger access in a region where most EV users didn’t have access to charging outside of a few public chargers. Ie old buildings, apartments etc. Cold weather paired with crap charging infrastructure. If you only had 1 gas station pump available for every 5000...

I put them on my Expedition about a month after they came out September 2021. Absolutely best tire I’ve had on any of my SUVs regarding road performance, minimal mileage impact and big improvement on traction over the car style low rolling resistance highway tires. Great in the snow!!! Great on...

Sounds like one Jeep owner at the gas pump 😆😆. If he had more time 20 problems would be 5x that

The solar business is worse than the Used car corner lot business also. 8.2kwh system here. I purchased the equipment and hired a electrician and did the installation with him in 2015. Tesla solar is probably the worst customer scam going. Junk surplus outdated equipment bought in bulk at...

The daily has a interview this week specifically about vehicle vs pedestrian a study shows its linked to distracted driving. Big vehicle vs small is discussed and found to be a non factor. Europe is the only statistic that bucks the trend but the statistic they found interesting is availability...

I thought you were responding to my Costa Rica note. Currently in Costa Rica. No scooters here some nice 250 dirt bikes tho.

Lol not that many scooters. Lots of Hyundai sedans. Had one Tesla roll in staying just up a few places from us. Tesla would definitely be a great vehicle your biggest power use would be the HVAC system lol. The little Jimmy isn’t very common but you do see them.

Vehicle regulation laws are created to force manufacturers to change not the end user. As a end user I make my choice apparent with what I purchase. If auto makers can’t sell something they find a new something that does sell. GOV policies get tweaked they aren’t written in magical unmodifiable...

Launching space rockets sorta lands in that “ Zone. Which case Elon is trend leader😆

One would think🤔

Modern trucks are literally soft zone grills with a sizable space between the engine and radiator. Its literally part of the pedestrian crush zone.

14-18 yrs old teen? Get em their own tents. Way easier to find multiple small flat spots to pitch tents vs one giant spot. That’s actually why we quit using our giant tent. Anything larger than about 8x8 foot print we had to excavate a pad big enough for the tent.
