IMO, all of those "disadvantages" pale in comparison to having the Tremec or not. I understand that others have different priorities, no problem. Just need to evaluate which information is important to you.
No need for a volunteer. Just have your second key nearby. Or if you're super lazy (like me) just pull the physical key out of the fob. In case the test fails and unlocking with the Fordpass app doesn't work for you, just use the physical key to unlock.
I think you're missing my point. If you want to leave the key in the car and not have to carry it around, blocking the signal *is* one way to do that.
No idea what you're talking about when you say, "The fob wont allow the vehicle to be unlocked if it is inside the car. Faraday pouch or not."...
Why not get a Faraday pouch, and just put the key in it? Then you can put the key in the car all day long. Lock and unlock with your phone (if you're comfortable with that). Good practice to keep keys that allow automatic unlocking in Faraday pouches anyway, so even if you didn't want to do...
I agree. I was being sarcastic, obviously. I've worked at companies in California that trip all over themselves to see how many EV chargers (free to employees) they can install. It's a thing.
Also, the talk in this thread about California not having enough power to charge EVs as they force...
Finally an easy question. You'll file an OSHA complaint against your employer for unsafe working conditions, until they get free EV charging at work. I mean, come on, how could you be expected to work at a place where you can't charge your EV for free??
This was just a broadcast e-mail, letting people know that they could come get a Mustang. You don't have to buy it, mind you, you just have to come to the lot to get it--judging from the news stories I've been reading. :)
This is not necessarily true. I've seen plenty of manufacturing lines continue with known problems. What "makes sense" in this world is: Keep the manufacturing line rolling! If you shut down the line that's production you can never make up, costs you're incurring while idle, sales lost to...
We're just a decade or so away from people saying, "Oh my, remember how bad those tacked on screens were in the early 2020s? What were those 'designers' thinking???"
Love the screens or hate them, I don't think designs like this will age well. Even if you want big screens, I can't imagine...
Only two months? :)
All I can say is: This appears to be how it works nowadays. Example: The Bronco fiasco had people waiting YEARS. In my case I waited 676 days. But at least mine didn't sit on "dirt mountain" like other Bronco owners. Ford had some issues, just parked them in a dirt lot...
Ah, I see your point now.
Although if that were a concern then the ASS (I trademarked that term on the Bronco forum, and I'll do it here, too!) feature on automatics would be just as bad (unsafe) if not even worse (because in a manual you could press the clutch and get the engine started while...
Interesting side note I forgot to mention. The ASS feature is actually nice to have if you're teaching someone how to drive a manual.
Situation: Learner releases the clutch pedal, stalls car. Maybe he/she is panicked because traffic situation is dictating that they should go. Good news: As...
There's obviously a difference between what you have to do to pass a driver's test and what you have to do to retain sanity when driving in a big city. :) Choice is yours whether to put the car in neutral at a light. All I know is that here in Atlanta you sometimes have to wait quite a...
"Escape" isn't the right word, exactly. You pay one way or another nowadays. If you "escape" having ASS applied to your car, you're probably paying a gas guzzler tax.
Obviously the ASS feature can work with a manual, many manufacturers do this, including Ford. It's actually better (well, less objectionable anyway) on a manual than on an automatic, for what it's worth. On an auto the engine shuts down if you're at a stop with foot on brakes. But in a manual...
