Please, please adopt the Tesla charging model: park, plug, and charging starts. No cards, no menus, no start buttons to push, no key ring fobs, nothing. One time you register your car with the charging network, then you plug in and your car does the communication, starts the charge, and bills...
I'm hoping SAE doesn't try to fix something that's not broken. Tesla does so well in selling cars due, IMO, in large part to their charging network. It works, it is everywhere, it's reliably operational, and it is absolutely plug and play. I hope a committee doesn't decide they need an app, or a...
Did you include the refinement costs in your estimate? Check who owns the largest US refinery. Don't want to get into a back and forth on this, just saying EVs use an American fuel and ICE vehicles do not.
Is Mach-E only half rebate because it isn't US made, but foreign produced? I know the purpose of the various rebate rules was to encourage American business. Or is it a battery component or assembly reason?
Agreed 100% with fair treatment from USAA. I get the 20% additional payment rider, it is kind of like gap insurance but nothing to do with loans. Since often the value of a car may not be what you would expect (we all would like a new one of course), that 20% is a good deal. As for the...
This! Tesla long ago (in EV time) set the standard for a charging experience…plug in and you’re done. This is almost as good, one simple extra step of tapping your phone or watch with Apple Pay on a screen. No app, no screen menu, no NFC card, no resetting the screen, no doing things in the...
Agreed as far as raw numbers. But if you know a Supercharger is available on your route, you basically have zero anxiety about whether it will be working. Priceless.
In an interview recently, Sandy Munro was highly complimentary of the F150 and Mach-E build quality. Except for the Teslas he's studied which are much better overall than anyone, he said the 2 Ford EVs were in 2nd place and WELL ahead of all other EV manufacturers that he's torn down to date...
A statue enacted in Florida in 2012:

Not surprised, really. Two cars, basically competing with each other for sales. Those who finally choose one of them understandably think they made the right choice and think it is better.
Ford owners overlook Tesla's far superior supercharging network and zero ADM/dealer packs; Tesla owners...
That's the last published price for the entry-level CT, so no lowering needed. I expect a higher final price, though, since it appears they have several years of orders on the books.
