With the connected 24's I wonder how much info they can pull from that to determine warranty liability. Can they see trips with excessive speed at racing locations or on the road and make a call? Insurance already goes after the onboard sensors for some claims, this just saves the trip.
Mine went to in production on Monday with a blend date of 10/16. The link to the window sticker still doesn't work in the tracker, but I can pull mine up if I try to go directly to it.

Looking at my sticker shows a...
Home in my current car is set to a police sub-station near my neighborhood. Directions to home gets me close enough I can navigate the rest of the way. If anyone steals the car and follows the directions, they can have the surprise.
I ran across a pre-owned dark horse at a Toyota dealership near Atlanta, GA. 280 miles and the window sticker shows MSRP at $69,855. They are offering $5k discounts off their $90k price. What a markup!

Yeah, I saw that and thought it was odd that it decided to jump in speed. I'd hope there isn't a disconnect between the display and what gets sent to the cruise control but seeing if it does it by the same sign, or if it kicks up after passing a sign, could be more info for the dealer.
I'd agree with testing the speed sign recognition going past the same sign if possible. We discovered my wife's Honda would always mis-read a particular 65 sign near our house as 100. Even got a pic of it.
What you may have heard about was Unifor (Canadian version of the UAW) negotiating their contract. A recent article I saw said Unifor had a summit with the UAW earlier in the year, have very similar demands, and they are not happy with Ford's financial offers leading into yesterday. They are...
