Ford has already started with a ground-up EV car, with design and pretty good sales of the pretty successful Mach E Mustang, a ground-up EV platform which I had the great pleasure of pretty much driving into the ground (this is meant as a compliment to that car).

To amplify my bolding above, the map of Europe, the map of European NATO members, and the recently changed map of the European members of the EU are all different (non-congruent). It's often a confusing and amusing mystery to us North Americans, just like the 50 different road traffic laws and...

O.K., the torque values look just the same here as in a gas F150. Thanks!

Hey Woody, The rear Eibach shocks have been on for a week and over 1 thousand miles now. I like the noticeable road holding improvement. Your information schematics were a critical part of the install. I ran out of time to do the front shocks that day, but the Army auto craft shop I used had...

Yes, it's important to remember that Ford is a worldwide corporation. Which fact, frankly, should give Ford a bit of a resilience factor as it operates amongst its widely different regional (continental) markets.

Good to know. FYI I just ordered the SPC UCAs because of their very good quality included ball joint. I figured it's easier to replace the whole kit than to futz around with dislodging the old ball joint tapers, etc.

I am switching out my front shocks for the Eibach shocks. I did the rear shocks last week and the difference was immediate. FYI I am keeping the OEM springs throughout and not lifting or lowering anything. Question: did anyone here replace the front endlinks? When replacing, were the endlink...

Hah... I never thought of trying Android Auto. Thanks! Yeah that's the screen which lists all the Tesla SUperchargers. I have a 12-inch screen... I'll try it. Unfortunately, I realized this Summer and Fall that Android Auto locks out my email downloads onto the Sync for checking while the...

Ummm... I don't think so.

FYI all: this little tidbit below that I just discovered might perhaps be a part of the "full NACS" update(s). Coming back from Kentucky the last two days, I started playing with FordPass on my phone, which I rarely pay much attention to beyond some basics. Of note, I just also updated my...

I love the Ford bull rings on trucks. So useful! I mounted my four bull rings almost like You did, about a year ago. I used the rear knockout cover to template the hole shapes for the front knockouts (er... "drill / Dremel outs"). It's written up in an old thread here.

I just self-installed new Eibach shocks (only shocks) on my rear suspension. Due to time, the front suspension will have to wait a bit although I have Eibach front shocks in hand. WARNING for DIYers: the rear (only rear) shock bottom bolts and nuts are throwaway items, not reusable, and they...

My son lives less than 8 miles from the crash site. I could smell the crash site when driving on I-65 just an hour ago on my way to see him.

I also think the front tow loops are a good place to start. FYI I have looked at the inside of my Lightning's front wall of the frunk, for an unrelated project. To me it looks that there's significant strength designed into the top half of that inner front wall... just an idea. Obviously, I'm...

Haha Your setup sounds like mine... FCSP @ 80 amps and a teardrop that we tow a lot. I'm at "only" 76,000+ miles now. I'll have to step it up :crackup:

Owners of XLTs (like mine) and PROs can self-install the HD radio. It's actually not that hard. The ACM (Audio Control Module) has one steel box form factor for its versions and lives behind the 8-inch screen. It's all accessible through the top trim tray. Once in through the top, You pull...

A very instructive and relevant book on the subject is Professor Shoshana Zuboff's "Age of Surveillance Capitalism", well-described here: https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=56791 ...and this of course means that we are the product which is sold and traded.

Artax, of course. The always faithful horse.

Solar panels today provide too little DC juice to matter for this use case. The normal decent solar panel's efficiency is around 22% - 26% About ten+ years ago one model of the Toyota Prius had a gimmick - a solar panel built into its moon roof. That was literally just powerful enough to...

The left side of the left dial shows "traction battery draw (usage)" at that moment in blue, or when green it shows "traction battery trickle charge" at that moment. It's basically a Discharge / Loading Meter for the big battery.
