Nice, we considered them but went with a lightly used Explorer Platinum.

My only gripes are it being SuperCab, and it being 2WD.

I would take a 5.4L 2V over a 3V any day of the week. In my area, the bodies of these trucks rust away before the drivetrain gives out. 

It’s likely that every EV fire has been handled by a fire department with minimal training at best for how to handle an EV fire. They’re still optimizing their procedures for the scenario. I imagine their will be refined methods as time progresses. I imagine the best option would be to let the car burn, spray the…

One burning EV will not cause air quality issues outside of locally directly around the vehicle. It would take a battery factory going up in flames to cause that level of air quality damage. 

One has to wonder if insurance carriers will start to pay attention to EVs being parked in attached garages. In the same way that homeowners insurance practically forces all pool owners to have a gated fence around them now, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes common place that EVs need to be parked/charge in…

Contamination from what? These batteries aren’t made of anything particularly toxic. Lithium, cobalt, manganese, and other materials but nothing too horrible.

You think 17 helicopters is bad, just wait until you hear how much CO2 all of the shipping, trucking, and power generation industries pump out in the US. Then 10X that number for what is happening in Asia.

Not the Mach-E?

If you have no “truck stuff” to use it for, there is no justifying the cost (which really isn’t that much higher than an SUV or crossover).

This is the type of era where the figure head of an organization makes a massive difference in the direction of a company. Jim Farley himself has competitively raced around Daytona and is a gearhead through-and-through. I believe that he fully understands the motorsports segment and the impact it would have throwing…

The Mustang catches hate, but there is a reason it has the following it does. It is the most attainable and most livable performance car ever. It’s a tight squeeze, but I’ve had my wife and two toddlers (in car seats) in my 2004 on multiple occasions. 

Only the federal government could find a way to charge $1B to convert something’s potential energy to kinetic.

I want one vehicle that can tow my boat, can haul my family of four, loaded down with a road trip worth of stuff, with four wheel drive, and gets 20+ MPG.

For me, it’s the combination of a high lift and huge offset wheels with skinny tires. That tells you everything you need to know about their off roading prowess.

I legitimately see EV swaps as the only way pre-war vehicles will make it another 100 years. Once the boomers are gone, how many people will have the knowledge or parts to keep a factory spec Model A in running condition?

Will it provide me anything my Model S wont?

Is this what getting old feels like? Where everything old is better and everything new sucks?

Say what you will about Americans, but at least we know not to race on a public access race track in the rain alongside people that have no business driving even a shifter cart.
