Thanks for clearing that up. I was shocked to read that and purposely put question mark in the title because I just couldn't believe they would kill it.

Didn't see this posted surprisingly. Ford to End Production of Failed F-150 Lightning https://share.google/RMKQKLTeMuqvB6zNh Ford will stop making its electric vehicle (EV) flagship, the F-150 Lightning. The New York Times reports this could be attributed to both the fire and flagging sales. In the first three quarters of the year, Lightning unit sales were up only 1% to 23,034. The extent to which Ford is entirely a gasoline-powered car company shows up in overall F-Series sales, which rose 12.7% to 620,580. Ford’s management shows wisdom in shutting down Lightning production. The electric pickup never sold well, suggesting its launch was a terrible mistake. Additionally, the U.S. EV market is dying and will not bounce back soon. The $7,500 EV tax credit expired at the end of the third quarter. People who wanted an EV rushed to buy one before the deadline. Yahoo

From what I read yesterday, Elon is selling a ton of them to his other businesses for essentially employee use. Im assuming so he can prop up the sales numbers. https://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-making-cybertruck-sales-150514507.html

And?? Engine, trans, differentials, transfer case and more.... that's an extra 40k miles above Ford and many others. The years really don't matter as most who buy them will hit 100k well before 10yrs. I certainly wouldn't buy a Ram personally but it is a big deal IMO.

You can buy a module that turns it off permanently or you can use forscan.

They are definitely all over the forums and fb groups reading what people are posting.

Demand is so low it now only takes 10 days from order to delivery for a CT. https://www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-only-has-10-days-cybertruck-order-backlog-being-forced-halt-production-line?fbclid=IwY2xjawGVo1ZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYrr4NL3R2Dsa_-o7iAaZmefye7cdH-E4A_y7smhAEirPPvhQJgUkEsQ-Q_aem_SGZASQHfvfbwawjlOZBx-A "

Mach E doesnt qualify for the fed rebate.

So only 2.5% of reservations were actually purchased. https://www.torquenews.com/11826/end-only-25-cybertruck-reservation-holders-decided-buy-truck-tesla-officially-finishes/amp "Tesla has officially ended the Cybertruck reservation program in the US, as the EV maker exhausted the entire reservation list. Ultimately, only 2.5% of Cybertruck reservation holders went ahead and bought the truck. Last week, based on multiple posts on various online forums, we reported that, in just nine days, Tesla was close to exhausting the entire 1 million Cybertruck reservation list." Man I wish that certain someone was still here to read his spin on this.

Update?

What are we paying on Import tariffs on the Nautilus? I was shocked when I saw an $83k Black Label Nautilus at my local dealer... $83k!!!!! Stupid money.

I test drove a g70 that had this and ots an awesome feature. You can see your entire blind spot on your dash without having to turn your head. Even better when you are on an onramp with a car in front worrying if they will speed up or slow down.. not having to turn your head from your forward view is great. I had sent this to the platform manage of the Explorer as this should be standard on every vehicle with digital display and interior redesigns.

This will be interesting to see what comes out of this. And how it will affect the car manufacturers. https://www.motortrend.com/news/recaro-automotive-seats-bankrupt-2024/?utm_campaign=true_anthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_type=organic&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1VEn8IUiO3kk6Ue2yabYnkrWBbdJKuyzKNycn_Z-GUKYrxqt1FBzTWHWQ_aem_nV7XOKOfZFuXEgHas6wRhw
