Fire was in Japan, not China.

up in flames in a matter of days.. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brand-tesla-model-plaid-spontaneously-224528567.html "A brand-new Tesla Model S Plaid spontaneously burst into flames while its owner was driving it" Crazy that it takes 90 minutes of water from a fire hydrant to extinguish it because of the battery.

I agree with you that they are safe. I've tuned every Ford I've had with a turbo and have never had issues with them. However, every time Ford has increased power, they have increased the strength of some of the internals or transmissions. So with that, I wonder why they go through the whole "powertrain upgrade" just to squeeze out a little more power (less than what tuners are doing). Has to be things we just don't know about.

The aftermarket tuners aren't paying for warranty claims.

Another option is try to turn the steering wheel slightly. That will restart the engine as soon as you put any type of turning pressure on the wheel.

The 2nd is easily achievable when they don't sell many compared to the Big 3 or change their vehicles design for over a decade.

My 18 gt350 that I bought used in Nov is worth $10k more now then what I paid 7 months ago.

I remember paying $63k for my 15 F350 CC Platinum with the 6.7 brand new. Prices are just stupid.

No, COVP was mentioned once in this thread about it being enhanced. There was no explanation of what it was. A license to my knowledge has always been required (at least in every ordering experience I have ever done. Being that to me is standard, my point was no order needs to be signed. THAT is what I meant regardless of how you took it With that being changed now, again, I appreciate being corrected on that. But it didn't need to be this difficult or take this long to be told this is a new process and what the process actually involves.

Fair enough. Things have changed and I appreciate being corrected with how it is done now. What I don't care for is people posting someone is wrong yet don't state what is wrong or posting the correct info (not referring to you). If one doesn't want to politely correct someone with the new or proper info, then don't bother posting as it doesn't help other members.

I think you need to reread my posts. I specifically said orders opened in March for 2022s and that there was no way a 2021 order could have been placed last month (May). Post # 2. So you are saying a 2021 order could be placed in May or are you saying you don't know what I posted since I never said that.

I ordered my 2007, 2011, 2015 and two 2020s and have never signed any document prior to completing the sale. Yes, I've had to send a picture of my license which isn't a big deal. My comment/reply was in regards to signing the order sheet. These were dealers in VA, MI and NH so not even the same dealer. Granted these were all Fords and not Lincolns but figured it would be the same process. My bad.

So if it is incorrect and misleading, then why don't you correct me instead of just stating that and leaving it open ended. I'd think the other members would want to know the correct info.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No different then a vehicle sit-in at a dealership for 3-6 months.

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

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.

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

Well it is your last Ford anyways so you won't have to worry much longer.
