    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    i like the way the Mach E looks, but i know if i bought one, within three years it'll be thrown in the trash like an old iphone or some catastrophic recall will make it undrivable. that goes for just about every EV on the market.

    The wind and solar power myth has finally been exposed.

    this is the only conceivable aspect of green energy i can understand. In my area, they have three electric companies, and depending where you live, you get service from one of them. company #1 is government owned and has the smallest footprint around the oldest parts of downtown and surrounding...

    Sanity check for Service quote from Ford...

    my friends performance shop is $150/hour, my glass shop is $65-$125 depending on in shop, mobile, USL&H, etc.. we don't charge enough labor, but insurance keeps you bound to around $35/hour..

    Sanity check for Service quote from Ford...

    those seats fold down and you can remove the subwoofer to access that area from the inside. personally i would try to fix it myself with the $35 part before paying the service department $1600 to do the repair.

    Livernois Tuning for Braptor

    better watch negative reviews of paying vendors.. even if you're right, you're still wrong.. lol IMO, I'd reach out to a reputable local tuner with a dyno. these ECUs may have to be sent off to get unlocked like the new F150s..

    OEM Windshield

    DW1395GTY is the OE part number, and yes, you want to call a locally owned store front glass company, NOT the national company. The average tech there has 2-3 years experience and won't know jack about your New Edge. I'd plan to drop the car off to whoever does the work, and be prepared to buy a...

    Mother****ing doc fees

    i believe in Louisiana the doc fee is limited to $249, but i could be wrong.. its like these shitty businesses that put a 3-5% credit card processing fee on food purchases, its an aggravation..

    State Farm will no longer insure California businesses or homes

    hurricane IDA pretty much sealed the fate of insurance companies in Louisiana. My insurance through Allstate went up $800 a year to $2900, which isn't bad. however, a significant portion of homeowners in my area have an escrow larger than their mortgage. my parents home was quoted at $9k a year...

    Ford EV Frustration

    the internet has come a long way from the 90s.. most dealerships in my area don't have a body shop or a competent service department.. the two most profitable areas of a franchise, so what exactly would a manufacturer be losing now?

    Ford EV Frustration

    local dealer had 40 lightnings sold to a fleet account, Ford could not build them for that MY, they did NOT get the price protection and the cost went up significantly when they had to convert the order to the next MY.. maybe thats just an EV thing, i dunno.. I ordered my 23 transit last July...

    Ford EV Frustration

    gotta remember whose product your selling.. personally i think advertising should include a price, MSRP is a good start. I also believe you should be able to factory order vehicles at whatever pricing the manufacturer is setting at the time.
