I can’t imagine that could have hurt it.

I recently replaced my tires intending to go Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. Shop I trust said they were back ordered, no idea when they would come. Suggested I try a cheaper tire made by Kendra, which I had never heard of. Figuring I could always get Michelins later, took a flyer. $782 for all 4 new...

Wifey changed it to Ylithium Chrystal. It’s def going to Marty McY some time soon

27.5k on our factory continentals. Time to replace. I think we would have gotten many more if not for the fun of blasting down on-ramps and so on. This is a fun car. So what tires are we recommending as replacements these days?

Great now I need therapy after being reminded of power factors and imaginary power curriculum in college. Thanks MY-Y!

How do I find one?

This will be interesting, I got an email from Ford saying my lightening order is to be built Aug 1 and gave me a VIN assigned. Unfortunately they had previously told me all 22 production was full and please don’t cancel your order, then 2 weeks later took my configuration and deposit with no...

IMHO: Black on white will stand out. Black calipers are barely noticeable vs unpainted for the effort.

Why not? We name boats and snow plows?

Ok fine: Custom 3d Printing | Etsy

Keep us posted!

Have letters 3D printed and painted to match

How much you want to spend? Rivian could probably get one today. I will sell you my June/July Lariatt lightening when it comes in :) if it comes in…

My wife has changed the name of our Tesla to “Musk-stang”

Come on heels kitchen, think of the customer service power house that would be a combined Tesla and Twitter!

In honor of todays news, how about TWESLA ?

Voltamort

I’ve never even seen a ford lately. is that a new compact SUV or something?

Finally got mine ordered. I received the “you didn’t make the cut, pleAse don’t can your order we hope to get you a 2023 model” email about a month ago, then just last week got a “it’s time to configured your order” email. The web site said June-July delivery when I configured it and committed...

Really? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised, the company sells $100,000 sedans with plastic radiators. #BringBackTheE38

This is an interesting thread… back in the day I would have asked how folks were heat treating/curing the high temp paint with the brakes still on the car. I suppose a Tesla’s brakes never actually are called upon to stop the car. Is it really even necessary to use high temp paint? Does using it...

Better in that I’ll get one the kinks are known if not resolved? Was kinda thinking a first year electric F150 would be an historic vehicle. ‘23 kinda doubt it in my lifetime.

Just got an email from ford, 2022 orders are closed. I may have a chance to order a 2023 some time this summer. Good thing i already ordered a RAM.

source? I haven’t read that and I’m rather skeptical of the claim and the business philosophy that would lead GM to conclude that is their best and highest use of resources.

I have decided not to order a lightening. The ram limited interior is just too nice and too much cheaper than a Lightening Lariat. Placed the order for the ram. now just need to figure out how to get my $100 back from Ford and wish them well. I was excited to order a lightening but the product...

Are we still talking about Y and Mach E or are we on to lightening? 0.3 might good for the lightening!

The accord of EV’s, that’s some high praise. I have owned multiple accords as well. I hope the Y is as great a car over time as the accords were.

The ram with the air suspension is the way to go if ride quality is your goal. And if you get the limited interior… it’s nicer than a lot of luxury sedans.

Guess that cements my thoughts. Dealer called me and told me I should get my email yesterday, no email. No email today. I think I’m just going to order a RAM limited and save 20 grand and have a truck this summer.

I got a call from my dealer saying I can come in Monday to order a truck. This will make us an all electric family ( aside from toys). I am not terribly concerned about that but I do wonder, having a kid who will be driving, is insurance going to cost more than the truck with a 16 year old in a...

So is it more or less than the online configurator? Dealer market adjustment take it over 100?

You think that price is awful wait until the dealer market adjusts you and Ford raises the price 20% for ‘23!

Just for good measure I went over to the rolls Royce forum and complained on there that the prices are stupid and I can buy a model Y for 1/10th the price and I am NOT buying a rolls Royce until they get this back under control.

It’s just easier if I’m the only one who knows… let the other guys think their perfectly straight on the fairway drives are correct plays all they want.

Not yet, he hasn’t gone in to visit them. I told him he better hurry, they’re itchin to skip him and market adjustment someone

My brother, was clicking refresh on the web site to reserve as they were announcing it, received a call today the dealer is ready for him to come in and order the truck.

Sadly I received the dreaded “not everyone is getting a 2022, please don’t cancel your order” email yesterday.

If they try to spike me with 30 grand would be the last Ford I ever attempted to buy. I would go buy a ram 1500 and pocket 50 grand for whenever the cybertruck is ready.

The most important thing to check on an EV is the condition of the dealer installed undercoating and rust proofing, as well as fabric protection wear and possible need for reapplication. Though being wear related, this comes as a customer expense.

I miss not minding parking in the cart corral at Kroger. Even with sentry, the paint is just too weak to chance it.

I am a first few hours reservation holder, did not receive this email. Hopefully that means I will be able to order one. Thanks for giving me hope and sorry to hear about your luck. Take comfort in knowing my F150 will be in a landfill before my cybertruck is ready at this point. You’ll get your...

I have a juicebox as well, it works great, I leave the Tesla adapter on it permanently as well. I don’t have another electric car at the moment but hoping for a lightening in ‘22 and it should work for both. Let the Tesla manage the charge. You can tell the juicebox it’s a Tesla if you want but...

My neighbor just got theirs too! Lmao

Have the believe anything is possible here with a touch of fab work. There is plenty of room behind the driver seat. Trouble is a lot of shops won’t touch it because they don’t want to be liable if you smack your head on the rear glass instead of the nice soft airbag as Tesla intended. How are...

It’s about time for another joke thread. I’ll go first. If you drift a Tesla are you doing the electric slide?

You forgot one: Ohio, Indiana’s largest suburb, is paved mostly with orange barrels and temporary street signs which is not a great environment to deploy FSD. I lived there 38 years and cannot recall a time when I-75 was not a hot mess. The humans can’t even drive on it. FSD hasn’t got a chance.

Thanks for the tip, I checked both in iOS settings and in the app itself, everything is enabled. Oh well. I guess if all the things a software update could fubar, I am not worried about not getting a notification for an administrative task on a car that isn’t even mine as far as the car is...

Interestingly I was watching for 40.6, wife’s car and account shared with me. No alert that software update was available, no alert that it completed. Car has indeed updated. I will keep looking. Previously I have gotten alerts on update completion regardless of whether I set them in motion or not.

With new iOS app that doesn’t let spouse of owner do certain activities like buy acceleration boost, will the app still show software updates available I can choose to install now?

Experience is the best education folks, why crap all over the dudes idea? OP, suggest you try this and report back. Document with pictures. No doubt you can generate energy with a windmill on your car. Pay particular attention to the energy consumption graph while driving and compare it to the...
