This stream auto-updates

  1. Today
  2. Def grab the extended warranty. I don't think the auto start function would be a buy back. There's probably something else wrong that they aren't telling you.
  3. I understand. I’m hoping the Chinese production is a stopgap measure until they can prepare a NA production location. Time will tell I suppose.
  4. I just traded my 2016 for a 2020 Titanium 301A with 44k mi and I'm very happy. The additional safety equipment, lane keeping/centering, adaptive cruise are the upgrades I was looking for. Other than for nav, how often would a larger screen be important?
  5. Yes, sir. You have that exactly right, sir.
  6. You must be mistaken. Teslas are the epitome of luxury vehicles……. 😂😂😂
  7. My gripe with the Mach E's interior isn't the screen, it's the minimalism of everything else (I have the same gripe with the Tesla Model 3). If I am paying that much for a car, I expect a flashy interior.
  8. Does the invertor cooling system burp on its own, or will i have to get it vacuum bled and refilled?
  9. Yesterday
  10. In case you haven't seen this yet, Fisker has suspended EV production for the next six weeks. On the other hand, they're rumored to be linking up with some OEM (rumored to be Nissan). So who knows what to make of this company. https://www.wired.com/story/fisker-suspends-electric-vehicle-production/
  11. https://fordauthority.com/2024/03/low-cost-ford-ev-arrives-in-late-2026-with-25k-msrp-report/ Small EV truck and crossover arriving in 2026 with a starting price of 25 grand.
  12. Rivian’s truck is really more of a midsize truck, so they wouldn’t have the market completely to themselves.
  13. Even if they aren't debuting anything they should still be there to at least show off the new Nautilus.
  14. Yeah basically this would be a case of only betting the amount of money I was comfortable with losing because that company has such an uncertain future at the moment.
  15. Exactly, it's very touch and go at the moment. I think they're running into the same issues other EV startups are. The only reason I'm even considering it is I see Fisker making some smart moves that a lot of other EV startups aren't. For instance, they're going after the electric truck market like everyone else, but instead of jumping into the full sized segment where there are a ton of rivals, they're planning on entering the midsized EV truck space. A space which they would have to themselves, at least for several years if they stick to their 2025 release schedule. They're going after profitable and high volume segments, in a way that doesn't put them directly head to head with established OEMs which would rip them apart. The pear is another example, an affordable EV that could potentially beat Tesla and Ford to the market. It's a difficult decision for sure, there are a ton of things about this company that are sketchy, but also a lot of areas that show promise. It's very hard to predict at this point in time of the company is gonna rebound, or go belly up.
  16. Ford provided factory air conditioning starting in 1955 air. Discharge vents were located either side of the radio speaker on top of the dash.
  17. I suspect the Expedition is debuting in NY, it’s just sad Lincoln is sitting out the show as for years (like 20+ years) they made NY their primary place to debut concepts and new models. They would stress how NY was the luxury market capital of America too. I guess we are seeing how “the auto show as a press circuit” is really dead sadly.
  18. 2016 Cmax Energi Recently, after unplugging the car I received error message.. "is the vehicle plugged in". Ibvi, it wasn't plugged in. After plugging and unplugging several times, the error message cleared and I was able to start vehicle. Any ideas what might have caused it.
  19. Just shows how personal experiences can be so different; and why one size doesn’t fit all. I rented cars almost weekly for well over a decade, and not once do I recall having issues or having to read owners’ manual. Not that most had one anyway. By comparison, I’ve driven my son’s Tesla a few times and if I walked up to it without assistance (as if it was a rental at an airport) I’d have a hard time getting in and driving off. With my son’s car it was different because it was already set up through his phone. I’m sure rental companies provide access but that’s more involved than a key, and more hassle than I consider quick or convenient. Just my personal choice. The driving itself was not a big deal, though even Tesla owners sometimes screw up and inadvertently put the car in reverse, causing accidents (or drowning). For me plugging in to charge would be easiest part. In fact, when I traveled regularly, most of my trips would have not even required charging as long as car could do 200 miles. Only in Michigan would I have needed charging regularly due to distance.
  20. Actually, for tax year 2024, the married couple standard deduction is $29,500 https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-tax-inflation-adjustments-for-tax-year-2024 HRG
  21. No because std deduction reduces your taxable income not your actual taxes.
  22. I had a 2011 MKX, a 2015 MKX, and currently have a 2019 Nautilus. They were reliable and very comfortable crossovers. I was considering a 2024 Nautilus until I found out that it will be manufactured in China. I am Canadian living near the Oakville plant that assembled the Lincoln MKX/Nautilus and the Ford Edge. Now that the Edge has been discontinued for North America, until an Edge EV can be built for our market, Lincoln, in their wisdom, decided to latch onto the 2024 Nautilus Chinese market production for the Canadian and US market Ford?Lincoln show no loyalty for North American workers, I will be considering a Cadillac product.
  23. The thing is that the standard deduction for a married couple is roughly $22K a year...so the tax "credit" would raise that to $29.5K?
  24. Garbage……. 😂 I know a few edge owners with 250k+ on the original pump. Regular coolant changes help a lot.
  25. Yes. Those are the actual taxes you pay. But some people who do withholding get confused about taxes vs refunds. E.g. You earned $100k and when you calculate your taxes you owe the govt $20K for the year. If your employer only withheld $18k during the year you owe an additional $2k when you file. If your employer withheld $22K during the year you get a $2K refund. In both cases you paid $20k. And the $7500 rebate would reduce that to $12,500. So if your employer withheld exactly $20k and you claim the full $7500, you only owe $12,500 and would get a $7500 refund.
