Oh dear. Big Brother really doesn't care what you do, and certainly isn't 'monitoring YOU!
There is nothing mandatory about Ford Pass, but the Mustang is a connected vehicle which can be very useful.
It doesn't, in the sense that the starter and battery are uprated for the job. More modern installations have an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) which completely removes any issues and reduces the number of components.
Oh here we go - somebody else who doesn't like being told what to do, but is happy to dish out their own opinions! Crack on with your war :crackup:
No stop start system I have ever driven with (lots) has ever behaved the way you say, but you keep on with your rhetoric :crazy:
My sons similarly powered 911 (992) manages 37mpg on a motorway trip - quite amazing improvements, all driven by mandates. It also has stop/start.
I've never understood the US hatred of stop/start. It is nothing like as hated elsewhere in the world, and good systems like the one fitted to Ford...
A 5.0 V8 burns about 4 litres of fuel an hour when idling. So if you spend a lot of time in traffic queues then yes it can save you fuel, plus emissions in the locality. If you don't sit in traffic then it will never activate obviously, so will save nothing. It can be quite shocking when you...
You need to try and find an unallocated MY24 car if you really want a Mustang. There are a few out there that will be built in September for delivery in November. Other than that it will be a MY25 car, but it will be at least a couple of months before the configurator updates in the UK as the...
Not sure why you would drive at 70mph in a modern car with the windows down? So much white noise from the tyres would make any sort of sound system pointless. You would need a lot of volume to overcome that, ear damaging levels of volume. Window open at 70mph will be 90dB ish, add music above...
Yet another pointless thread!
The B&O system is just fine (certainly not garbage) and with a sub change it is clear and controlled. Different sources impact the quality (radio will always be the worst because of compression)
If you don't like it then turn it off (which the OP seems to want to...
Atlantic Sail leaves on the 27th July to arrive in Liverpool on 7th August - I reckon my car will be on that. Atlantic Sun leaves today so I don't think my car is on that.
Live chat were pretty adamant that until the vessel is showing on their system it isn't loaded, so I don't think my car is onboard yet, but my ETA is the week after you anyway.
I think most likely your car arrived at the Ford storage area at Newark on the 8th, then left that on the 18th to go...
My dealer knew exactly how the orders were being dealt with (including the pre-configured cars) on 1st February. They didn't take any orders until they were officially possible and I got the Vista printout of my order on the day. They then learned about the fact that not all orders were the same...
To be fair the live chat is Ford UK and they do seem to know exactly what is going on. The dealers however are just mushroom workers as they only have Vista to help them which doesn't really work for them. They are used to what happens with cars made in Europe including the timescales etc and...
I assume Ford have a storage facility at Newark and this is what 'exited Newark' and your 'Compound out' mean. As in it has left the Ford storage facility at Newark and is now heading for the actual loading at the port. I don't think Vista is reliable in the transit phase (I don't think it is...
I have had more info on my order now through somebody helpful at Ford UK via live chat. My car is now showing as 'exited Newark' but without any ship details as yet. Live chat suggested that means the car is likely in the process of being loaded and if I check back in a day or two it will have...
