I know when I was shopping for my 24 last year there wasn't a single Lariat or Platinum anywhere that didn't have a sunroof, so I figured that just the way Ford did it for 24.
I didn't realize you could order a 25 Lariat w/o sunroof. Learn something new every day! There is a part number for that somewhere, because you could get a 22-23 Lariat without the sunroof. Might take a little research.
The ZC one is for Lariat and Platinum models With sunroof. If you are buying an XLT or Flash without sunroof, there's a different part number. But I don't think the stock one that comes on the lower trims has illumination either, so you won't have power there to connect it anyway.
Only the letter at the end is different being "B" instead of "C". The "C" is "Black" in color and the "B" is "Slate". JL3Z1504105ZC is on their website for $226.96. https://www.fairwayfordparts.net/oem-parts/ford-visor-assembly-sun-jl3z1504105zc
Example on a new vehicle. My 2024 Lightning has a production date of 5/24. The Goodyear tires on it have a date code of 1724. (17th week of 2024) That means when I took delivery of my truck 10/1/24 the tires were already 5 months old.
You have to look at the DOT date codes on the tires, not when you had them installed. You'd be surprised how many 1-2+ year old tires get installed from tire shops.
We never rotate our tires. Our vehicles never see more than 7500 miles annually if even that. Our vehicles are garaged when not in use. By the time the date code on the tires reaches 6 years, we replace them due to age and all tires are usually within 20% wear or less of each other. No risk...
I totally agree with you. I think a lot of Tesla owners didn't even know who Elon Musk was when they purchased their cars over a year ago. Everyone should certainly know by now however.
Ok. I get the software being better, but I know people with Teslas and I don't see that the materials and workmanship is equal. I see some compromise in that area. Not a huge amount but it's still visible. Time will tell as to to longevity of the most recent models. After seeing hot the CT is...
I still have one available for less than any dealer. Great upgrade for any 2024 Lariat or Platinum.

I get it. I have a 24, so I'm not in the same boat as you and others with 22's and 23's. I think I'm on version 1.2 or 1.3, (Who knows?) but I most likely won't be buying a subscription unless I get 1.4.
The 25 Mach E comes out of the gate with BC 1.5, but it sounds like 24 and below have hardware limitations that will not allow for 1.5. Does a Tesla that's 5+ years old get all the software updates and features of the current new models?
That's the gamble for sure. But everyone was fine with the version that came with their trucks until a newer version came out, and even if 1.4 is the best we'll get it's still pretty slick in my book.
We're all spoiled with having even the possibility of software updates for feature improvement/upgrades. Remember when autos were not all computer controlled, and each year there was hardware changes for any new feature additions/improvements? If you wanted the new feature, you had to buy a new...
