  1. There is no verification on your end required. When a dealer submits an order, that's all that is needed. His dealer is probably asking for him to sign off on it so when it arrives, there can't be any "this isn't what I ordered".. or "it's missing this feature" etc. But nothing that will hold up an order if the dealer placed it. I still always recommend getting a copy of the DORA once it is placed.
  2. Ask him for a copy of the DORA for your order. It will list everything ordered, show priority, VIN is it's been assigned etc. Keep in mind this chip shortage has really screwed up production BUT I don't see why they would extend 2021s by 2 months for ordering.. if you can't get chips, you can't get them, regardless of a 21 or 22.
  3. The last day to order a 2021 was March 5th. March 15th 2022s could be ordered and production is supposed to start June 28th. Dealer couldn't have ordered a 2021 in May, had to be a 2022. Ice Capades has recently posted 2022 scheduling hasn't started yet.
  4. The HER will be more collectible being only 1 model year and the final year. I paid $53k in Nov for my 2018 with 1,500 miles on it. $73k... Ouch!!! A gt350 is not collectible.. a 350R is a little. When they make 6,000+ a year, they are not hard to find. Don't count on value holding or increasing on these.
  5. LOL, Musk just loves to play games. Plaid + canceled https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/elon-musk-says-tesla-model-s-plaid-plus-canceled-211804141.html
  6. First, Ford/Lincoln doesn't offer a brake controller. The dealer or I should say whoever you spoke to are morons. The Aviator and Explorer work the same way. If you have the hitch from the factory (I believe all Aviators do but could be wrong), the plug is under the dash to plug into the Brake Controller. Go buy a Prodigy controller and install it. Then you will take the harness from Prodigy and plug it into the plug under the dash and everything will work as designed. It is literally plug and play, do not pay the dealer to do anything regarding this. Here is a pic of the plug under the dash. So Prodigy mounted, then harness plugs into the Prodigy and other end plugs into this. Once that is done, everything will function properly. There is no worry about 3rd party crap with factory crap blah blah blah.
  7. Ouch.. and didn't even respond to the lawsuit. Smart!! https://www.pcmag.com/news/tesla-fined-16k-per-owner-for-throttling-battery-capacity-charging-speed?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Manual&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook

  9. Well it is your last Ford anyways so you won't have to worry much longer.
  10. 0-60 in the 7s isn't fast. Of course it's going to be faster then the original lol.
  11. So if it has to be pulled apart, then have it fixed. Quit crying because something mechanical failed. It happens.
  12. I was always a fan of the 2nd gen lightning.. wanted a silver one but never got it. I actually like that they are doing this with the name.
  13. I'm not a fan either. I don't like the hood decals and I don't like the decal stripes on the bottom of the sides. Just my personal preference.
  14. I don't think Tesla is becoming dated, I think they are dated and have been for quite a while. The success of Tesla thus far is because there was zero competition.
  15. https://www.yahoo.com/news/gmc-just-unveiled-100-000-210000966.html Tim Levin Sat, April 3, 2021, 5:00 PM 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV. GMC GMC on Saturday unveiled its first electric SUV - the 2024 Hummer EV SUV. The "Edition 1" Hummer EV SUV will hit streets in early 2023 and cost roughly $106,000. By 2024, GMC plans to sell an $80,000 version with a 250-mile range and more than 600 horsepower. See more stories on Insider's business page. General Motors has teased for months that its upcoming electric pickup truck, the GMC Hummer EV, would gain an SUV stablemate at some point down the line. Now it's finally here. GMC offered the first real glimpse of the 2024 Hummer EV SUV on Saturday in a commercial that aired during the NCAA Final Four. The so-called "supertruck" is available to reserve now, and the first models will hit streets in early 2023, GMC said. Like its pickup sibling that debuted in October, the Hummer EV SUV comes packed with features targeted at off-roading. Saturday's LeBron James-narrated spot highlighted capabilities like "extract mode," which lifts the vehicle by several inches at the push of a button, and "crab walk," which turns all four wheels so the SUV can drive diagonally. 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV. GMC The Hummer EV SUV debuts with a roughly $106,000 "Edition 1" model that will be available in early 2023, and an available off-road package brings the Edition 1's MSRP to just over $110,000. The Edition 1 will deliver up to 830 horsepower and a range of at least 300 miles, GMC said.
  16. More pics in a different color. It is very sharp.. I like it a lot. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/kia-ev6-gt-0-60-080000641.html
  17. The Canadian deal is no longer available so the thread has been changed. The US dealer is still doing them at cost and 0% financing for 24 months to US residents (except Florida).
  18. For hours? They said 15 minutes and it went to limp mode. The 5th gen explorers with liquid cooled ptus still failed all the time.

  20. There is nothing quiet about service bulletins. One person on a forum gets their hands on it, posts it online, media sees it, blasts Ford etc. And that's not how it works, only recalls flag in OASIS and require the dealer to do it. Otherwise, if you aren't researching a customer complaint, you really won't see it. How many times have you seen emails and TSBs etc leaked. It's impossible to keep shit quiet anymore.
  21. Many have done buybacks for this. There is no fix however it has not affected any performance or reliability. It is just annoying hearing it on anything but smooth roads. I have 30k on my ST now and it is 18 months old. Has done it since day 1 and still does it.
