Oh yes, American cars are far better now than when the Japanese entered the market. There was no such thing as a 60K warranty. IIRC new car warranty was 12 months 10K miles. Few vehicles lived more than 5 years. I had an 83 Chevy that got oil changes at 3K miles, that was ready for scrap at 60K...

I agree with those that think Farley is doing this to pump short term profits, which pumps the stock, which is then ripe to cash out and retire.with a golden parachute. Anything after that is not going to be his problem.

Surely few of you are surprised. It's wrecked of "exaggeration" from the start.

I'm in NW Arkansas and have access to two stations relatively nearby. I have tried one of them recently, and while I hate needing the app, charging is just what you would expect from property functioning chargers, and that's a good thing. While nothing. Can.be said about the current Alpy...

First, I don't believe the EREV exist in any meaningful way. Ford simply threw that out because they got caught with their pants down AGAIN! They threw that out as a distraction because they had no plan when they cancelled the Lightning kiss the orange potato, and a enormous tax write off that...

Very few in the middle part of the country as well. I'm in Northwest Arkansas in the land of Walmart, Tyson's Food, JB Hunt Trucking, and University of Arkansas. No shortage of EVs here as well, with lots of travel to and from the area. Nearest IONNA are east side of Kansas City or Little Rock...

Very similar story for me. Almost nothing to go to work and back for me, and even less for her Tesla. It's hard to beat the deal driving EV and Ozark's Electric Co-op. We LOVE Ozark's Electric Co-op. Much of their power comes from Hydro, some from solar, and some from the harvested methane from...

I have no skin in this at the current time. I know nothing and assert nothing as fact, but from a production standpoint, it would have been a benefit on the production line if it was plug and play with no configuration required. Would have made assembly simpleier and quicker. Just hope we can...

"When NOT towing, I was seeing $0.07 per mile, which is the equivalent of a gas F-150 getting 35 MPG. When towing I was seeing $0.16 per mile, which is the equivalent of a gas F-150 getting 14 MPG." These number equat to $2.45/gallon and $2.25/gallon for gas at you stated cost per mile. Highly...

My lifetime average is 2.7 mi/kwh. I've have a 27K miles. Driving has included aub 0Ftemps as well as 100+F. My commute to work is 13 miles each way, moderate hills of a few hundred feet. I have gotten as high as 3.2-3.4 going to work in the morning, and 3.8 coming home (about 50' lower...

JMO, I believe that Rivian has shown enough promise, and has actually produced a profit, that it would be able to raise additional cash if needed. Or at worst sale a part of themselves to another company. A friend believes Apple would be a heavy suitor for Rivian if that was what was required...

No issues with you Brian, glad your here even though there isn't much you can do. I do trust you are telling us what you can. I however don't trust a damn thing about Ford any longer. I will not be going back to gas. Ford can shove this EREV nonsense. I don't believe they actually have anything...

Simple. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In context, Donut Labs is making a extraordinary claim, and has yet to produce extraordinary evidence. I got one hope they produce that extraordinary evidence, but until they do, the world is full of fakes, scammers, crooks. I will...

There have been threads where people have seen relatively large voltage variations prior to a module failure. It has been assumed a cell within a module was failing resulting in a high variation, until a certain threshold is reached (as determined by Ford) triggering an error for the module and...

Be.aware, there is more to it than just swap battery modules. They have to be of a similar usage health, or they get out of balance with the rest of the cells in the other modules resulting in eventual pack failure again. Better off replacing the full battery pack.

Try charging intentionally to 100% and see what happens. If you have OBE scanner and software, check for voltage variation after intentionally changing to 100%. Also check the 12V battery. A weak.12V.creates strange issues. How old is the 12V battery?

Sound like it's just going to be another fluffier piece with no hard data, and no hard presentation of what's supposed to come (which I will believe when I see it).

FWIW, I've gotten a bit over 178 max on my SR, but usually ~174 max, occasionally lower.

The thing everyone needs to remember about EA having 4 chargers inost cases, is that there were very very few non Tesla evs on the road until they had already rolled out most of their network. Plus chargers of that power were new and extremely expensive. So 4 it was. I do know of a long...

Of course they think it's a smart move. It means more maintenance and repair dollars in the dealers pockets.
