There is WAAAAAYYY more than 4% margin to the factory. Dealer margin is 8-15% (vs MSRP) by my sleuthing. Since dealers are parasites and don't usefully contribute to Ford HQ bottom-line it would make sense for Ford to take back dealer margin in addition to reducing the cost of manufacture and...
all the time. And have you tried USING the pathetic and slow and inaccurate so-called voice commands? It's a feature that just needs to be eliminated. Buttons or nothing.
voice-assist is an EXTRA and NEVER to be used as the primary interface.
that 'S' never made any sense. Go into the menu and select 'Sport' just like you select Active Exhaust modes. Though granted M doesn't make a lick of sense either. The Mustang doesn't tow, and so there is no need to command each individual gear. Double-pull on the paddles, or long-pull is more...
There needs to be at least 2 each of USB-C and USB-A. There are 2 people in a car + dash accessories. A 110V 3-prong NEMA would be nice. My F150 has one, why the hell doesn't every car?
And HELL NO to god-damn wireless charging horse-sh*t. God created cables. The only wireless powersource is...
the same thing as it does in Mario-Cart - Power Ups. Or Ford's clone of OnStar.
Finally air vents where they will actually do something useful instead of giving my fore-arm frostbite.
Mr. Honda in on line 3.
I think that kind of range is stupid. The bomb is just that much bigger and you have to carry that weight around all the time. 120-150mi range is PLENTY. For everything else there is highway super-chargers or swappable battery packs. Or ICE rentals. Or just behave like a...
with everyone running around like a chicken with the head cut off it being Tax Filing day, it would make a lot more sense to release something on the 18th.
why? Stock by definition is going to be sub-optimal no matter how "pretentious" the factory effort claims to be. Yeah you can take it to the track but it's unlikely to impress and you'll just be wasting time circulating and having to manage a deficient car.
If you're buying a purpose-built...
IMO Ford should just exit the 'tech' business. only physical buttons and the 4" screen is more than sufficient to convey ACTUALLY useful information, what little there is. Bring your own damn tech be it phone or tablet. Ford can design the center section to waste less space and also set aside a...
gag me with a spoon. Just call it a Matchbox Car and be done with it. I desperately hope Pill's rendering is completely wrong because no way in hell slapping the fat-ass of a C7 on the rear improves the looks. And the grotesque wheel arches can only come from the fevered minds of Japanese...
of course it is. I was talking about "just enough charge to get home". An EV without an ICE either as power to drive wheels or as genset is a fool's errand. Hybrid is how things will work on a durable basis.
My '21 EB has 3.31 rears and doing 70mph at 2000 RPM is just !wrong!.
so I threw the above numbers into a handy spreadsheet trying to recall how I previously observed my '19 EB/PP1 with 3.55 behaved.
Hmm, I would need 3.73 rear-end to get something resembling the '17 v8 which I've driven (M6G...
because you're being overcharged badly for no-good tires anyway. Ok so maybe not the $100 Nanking specials, but there are a dozen very good (u)HP all-seasons that could have easily been OEM'd.
Ok, maybe not 'crappy' brake pads, but Callahan brand or a "reasonable" street performance profile...
you'd think someone at Ford would stop screwing with the standard part pattern and just make an inlay that adapted it in the event some designer with entirely too much time on their hands thought it was a good idea to change large openings like this for no good reason. Actually a slap across the...
