Thank you Karen for letting us know that if it happened to *you* then it’s happened everywhere and to everyone. Maybe you should speak to the manager...

Only the inline diesel, the newer v6 has a major weak spot.
Want something more practical but still with some driving excitement? Room to haul the whole family? Zero gravity seats? Ability to power a fridge when you go camping? Even comes with a tax credit?
Simple solution. Every day, submit a citation yourself to the police. Make sure to hit all the local judges, the police chief (maybe even his wife), the local cops, and definitely the dude who started this.
Too easy!
All that extra red adds 25 HP...
It’d most likely be easier to swap in the trans-mounted Yamaha V8 used in the Volvos (another Ford product at the time)...
Why bother putting in a 6 litre motor when the 3L diesel that they ALREADY offer in the X5 has nearly the same torque (465) at half the engine size (and I would assume much greater weight and lower MPG).
Um, the Kia lawsuit was because they cheated the testing procedure. NOT really apple to apple...
Um, the EPA sticker with mileage is an ESTIMATE, not a guarantee...
My exact thoughts. They aren’t replacing anything, which means the problem still exists. So they are using software to limit charging to 90%.
I would never include my address on a resume. I work in the public sector now, but in a past life I worked in the private sector in the advertising field (on the media planning side). I can write an entire book from all of my (mis)adventures - like a supervisor having a full blown mental breakdown at the office (we…
My concern is that in real life they won’t be as quick. Several of the new EVs like the ID4 are VERY lackluster in acceleration. Even the base model 3 has good performance (not mind blowing), but the base models of other EV are focusing on battery longevity and range over speed. Only the “GT” models have respectable…
While the GT is tempting, what has piqued my interest more is the Kia/Hyundai twins that utilize the 800v charging. If I could charge in 1/4 the time (15 minutes instead of an hour) that may sway me from the other choices.
The “octo” in Octovalve means 8, and if you look at one it’s a hellava lot more than 8. Just disconnecting the piping from that “water pump” would be a heck of a task...
Other than the motor and transmission (somewhat), electric cars are just as and even more complicated that ICE vehicles.
535D owner here. My 465LB/ft torque is probably more than the Cruze and Prius combined.
There’s really no need to stress over the design because it’s...well...a sedan.
So now the new Mustang Mach E’s will crash by themselves when leaving Cars and Coffee...
There’s a reason people like him aren’t part of a group called IQ-Anon...
