  1. He should specifically ask for an AWA - after warranty adjustment. I think the dealer has to participate.
  2. Pull the battery cable for a few minutes. Other than that it’s a dealer issue. They’ll probably try reloading the software but might require a new apim.
  3. https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2024-tesla-cybertruck-vs-rivian-r1t-vs-ford-f-150-lightning-comparison-test-review/ Ignore the typical Motortrend rankings that ignore objective data and just read the comparisons.
  4. Lexus: we have the ugliest grills Infiniti: Hold my beer…..
  5. Sounds like their “unnamed source” is the UAW contract.
  6. Too bad they didn’t make this decision a few years ago. We might have a C2 edge and Nautilus at OAC.
  7. You can’t believe everything you read on the internet. - Abraham Lincoln
  8. That wasn’t directed at you or anyone here (although it would be apropos to a couple of folks). There is a car group on Facebook that is over the top declaring EVs are dead and nobody wants them.
  9. Josediago posted the same link in that topic on page six a few hours ago.
  10. The factory interval on gasoline vehicles is roughly 8000 miles, give or take. Most recommend changing every 5k to be safe. I would assume the same is true for diesel. Factory intervals are the bare minimum to get by.
  11. Some costs are capitalized but not all. E.g. all the people working on next gen batteries and platforms and yet to be released vehicles are an expense with zero revenue.
  12. The huge Mach-e numbers are an anomaly but EV sales are not stopping. They may not be growing or growing as fast but people will continue to buy EVs.
  13. Ok that sounds worse. Maybe call Lincoln and ask for history?
  14. Did t they extend the warranty coverage on those engines for coolant intrusion?
  15. Ahh….nothing more than a doa battery and they forgot to reset the Battery Management System. No worries at all. Just FYI the term buy back implies Lincoln bought it back but it sounds like the customer just traded it in on something else which is completely different.
  16. I know, right? I can’t wait to post this in the EV haters forums where they’ve declared that nobody is buying EVs any more.
  17. I thought the NY show was done by corporate but I know most of the smaller shows are done by local dealers not Ford corporate.
  18. It’s a dealer thing but they should be willing to share it with you in a case like this. If they won’t show it to you - Run Away!!
  19. Or some guy on GMI that likes to assimilate people…..
  20. Seems to me most folks looking to replace 3-4 yr old vehicles would have leased them anyway. What I don’t understand is people who are upside down either on cars or homes just walking away. You only lose money if you sell. Just keep the vehicle or house and you’ll eventually catch up without trashing your credit score.
