That's crowdsourcing for you.

Oh yeah, and when I ordered mine it was supposed to be home delivery. 16 miles from the showroom. No one once tried to get it to my house. Even after I had brought up a couple times via txt that it's supposed to be home delivery, and I was fully going to take the 7 days to look the car over...

This must have just happened as my wife was waffling on the 3 I ordered. We went to the showroom and actually drove mine as a test drive before she waffled even more causing a 2 week run around on possibly getting her a new RX450h, which ended in "I just don't think we need a new car right now"...

So interestingly enough. I have had 2 FFE's (Ford Focus Electrics) and both, a couple times a year throw 12v battery messages. However the car, once started, provides a solid 13.2V to all the 12v things it could complain about. The battery message usually happens when I'm backing out of the...

Electricity is free? (before you fire back at me I have 2 EV's and know full well that I went from 18 cents a mile cost on my IS350 to 2.5 cents about, on my EV's. That said I have 50 to 60,000 miles on each. A cost of $2500 per 100,000 miles. That's not bad but that's not free. Keep in mind the...

Nope, not from tesla anyway. I'll buy one 6 months old that someone else already took the credit on. A reasonable used sale, not these jacko's on Craigslist trying to sell the cars for $60k and they keep the credit and play stupid about not being able to "transfer" it to you, which they can't...

I canceled mine when the pushed me to mid 2019. For a handful of reasons. 1 I was ‘fine’ with the above $35k price point, i know I’d spend more. It wasn’t until i did the full math of the near $60k out the door LR car that i took a step back 2 ok fine I’ll still get the fed rebate and I’d get...

Yeah I mean, we should cut down a few more trees for the 500,000 to be built in the next couple years. I however plan on making larger solid pieces of rare(r) woods fo fun. Wenge and zebra wood, possibly Purple Heart for girls

That! Exactly! I want data. Well I say that but I drive with the 'range left' display all the time. But to know the details if I want is a major thing for me. I'd like the full logs if possible at least for the first year. The climate/other use display of my Focus EV has been priceless so far...

That's always fun. Wait till year 5 and you HAVE to go into a gas station to buy a powerball ticket, then you get back in your car and drive away hoping to never have to stop at one again.

Amazes me that my jeans tend to mess up every interior I've had in the last 10 years on any car. Prior to that what was the magic dust used to not let jeans stain leather? Taking this note into account I guess I won't be getting a white interior, without seat covers lol. Vented seat covers...

You will need to use gps to validate. Factory speedo can be messed with by tire inflation etc.

This is totally the case. I rented a Porsche for the bahn when I was there last year at this time. Got to actually open up a couple times for less than 30 seconds. Over crowded and oblivious drivers.

Pure EV. It's speed limited at 85, but the speedo is off by 2.5 mph from the factory, it reads high. So your speedo hits 85 and the car just doesn't go any faster. Most likely to protect all the things. This is my second Focus EV. Great car for the $9k used purchase in AZ. I leased the first as...

Yes, but in white, maybe the whole cap in white. I know exactly what I'd be getting into. No need to mention the brake dust.
