So they really didn’t want to (or can’t) do over the air updates like some other car companies can do?

My personal mission and pet peeve.  The Maverick isn't a small truck, it is a mid sized truck, The Ranger is a big truck, and full sized trucks are huge trucks.  If a slightly height advantaged man can't see over the hood of a vehicle (such as full sized American trucks) it is huge.  They don't sell small pick ups in…

Wahlberg is hardly a devout Catholic. He was a huge whore for many years before he got married.

Better than Alabama.

I’ve owned my car for about 4.5 years and have found there are some tricks to cold weather driving. Battery temperature really matters, like a lot. If my car is sitting outside in cold weather (40 or below), and I get in and just start driving it can take 30 or 40 miles to sufficiently warm up the battery, especially…

T.L.D.R version: Firefighters can easily deal with EVs

I’m a 35 year veteran firefighter, 13 years as a Battalion Chief, so I know what I’m talking about. EV fires are a concern, but not a huge problem. True, firefighters need to be informed about handling EV fires, but they are a kin to other types of situations we…

If someone with ‘foot’ in their name doesn’t get it, I’m not going to bother wondering why I don’t get it either.

Seriously?

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.

Sounds like a darwin award winner here. Unless he was sucked in from further than 15 feet away, then that’s a safety procedure failure...

2004 Chrysler Sebring. Wanted something with a V6. What gutless POS.

this mistake will way on my mind for weigh longer than you can imagine

Until the 2023 year, their infotainments have been bottom of the pile, the styling is controversial, and they traditionally have the dynamics of a wet sponge.

I’m as critical of Musk as the next (rational) person these days, but I’m gonna respectfully disagree with your service experience point. Let me know which luxury competitor will come to my house and patch a puncture in my tire, or mount and install a new tire, or rotate my tires. All in my driveway. Because Tesla’s…

When I see trucks like this, I don’t imagine someone with a lot of money. I imagine someone with a lot of debt.

And rich rednecks will pay it.

LOL. Tesla added like 30 new useful features with OTA updates last year alone. Its not just for fart sounds. Nice to see OEMs finally joining the software game... 10 years late.

I went from 19 mpg to 12mpg (37% loss) in the dead of Iowa winter (local driving only) in my Hyundai Veracruz, zero highway over the course of 1000 miles. ICE range loss is a thing that no one notices.

I had a 2005 Dakota. Crap gas mileage and transmission slipped. Last Dodge I owned.

Adding a manual to an electric power train...... Nothing like making a “performance EV” slower to 60 mph.
