Sure, more than happy to revisit in a few years.

I would look up more recent information on Toyota's hydrogen V8! Didn't age well! Hydrogen ICE is of use in plant machinery and larger trucks Hydrogen Combustion Engine Truck Installation |Hydrogen | JCB.com For cars FCEV is the only way Hydrogen will get used. The reason is FCEV is the...

They keep shouting at the sky but meanwhile the world moves on without them.

You still don't get it! Nothing to see through, no campaigning just realism

Supercharger | Tesla

Thread drift but 3 hours to recharge is not normal in places with infrastructure appropriate to demand. They can charge much faster than that without the battery 'exploding'. 300 miles on a 20 minute charge is possible now in Europe (Tesla superchargers are 200 miles in 15 minutes) and in fact...

Erm try doing a bit of research on this. The encrypted and locked down nature of the systems is platform based and clearly there is no point Ford developing two routes for this on the same car. Plus the compliance is required in Europe and the US so a pointless suggestion! Note that as an...

You don't seem to be getting this do you? I love my V8 Mustang! How many times do I have to repeat that? Not sure where 20 years comes from - something you made up? I clearly said car product planning is 8 to 10 years ahead of release - please refer to my post you quoted to confirm this! I am...

It is completely clear why they are locked (not just in the US) and it is not going to change!

Don't forget all car companies are global - US politics and mandates make up a small proportion of their decision making process. Not sure the 'Big 3' in US car sale terms are all US companies! Toyota are No.1! Ford sell more cars outside the US than inside the US Honda No.4 and closing in on...

I love my V8 but I know it is the end of the road. I don't think short term political changes in the US, whichever way they are, make much difference to product planning for a global company. What is being produced now was planned 8 to 10 years ago and likewise what is being planned now will be...

That will never happen I'm afraid. It varies by country obviously but ECU's are locked deliberately to prevent tuning modifications which change the vehicle emissions. That and for cybersecurity reasons too - you get one or the other but not both.

No politics in the this forum is very clear in the terms. As to the generally insulting a demeaning references to people who choose to drive something that isn't a V8 for valid reasons - why do you feel the need to say that? What will it achieve?

Plus carmakers are global companies with global products - US politics makes no difference

Of course it is a bit slower but not in a different world. If there was no V8 the Ecoboost would be a perfectly rapid car. Whilst the 2.3 has had a few issues there are plenty of smaller engines with bulletproof reliability (Honda come to mind). The point was that you don't need a V8 for...

Ah the voice of reason and moderation :crackup:

Yes it does look very good
