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.

Jack Cooper is closing its doors after negotiations fell through with GM and the loss of Ford. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/auto-hauler-jack-cooper-shutting-191442830.html

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

Mixed feelings on this. First, if one is going to do a film, it should have paint correction done first. Assuming the paint is perfect with no blemishes or hair lines in the clear coat then ok but I don't trust factory paint. The price is good, I paid about $6,200 for my gt350 to be fully wrapped with xpel. However, I get a 10 year warranty, no mileage limitations where for is 3/36k. That's a crap warranty for such an expensive option. Lastly if you do have a warranty issue, I'd be concerned about a dealer handling this unless they sub it out. No way would I want a tech replacing the film who doesn't do this every day.

With the 25 Explorer redesign and order banks open as well as 2nd quarter deliveries, I am sure you will see good deals on the 24 explorer

A few more shots of the rear to see it different angles. Grill definitely looks better in person. I don't think it photographs well compared to seeing it in person. My first thought was WOW seeing the front.. wasn't expecting that impression from the pics I had seen previously.

More pics and a walk around.

4 trims, 5th coming later. (Active, ST-Line, ST and Platinum) Same powertrain. 5k towing for all trims. Platinum now can have 2.3 or 3.0 New infotainment and instrument cluster (5x more powerfull). Full functional Bluecruise (with subscription) Optional painted black roof Soundbar standard across entire dash Wireless charger moved below center vents. Looks much better in person then what I had seen in photographs.

edited.

I have all the powertrain details, will post it tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Man, how do they handle working 2 day shift and 2 overnights? That has to mentally/physically screw up your body and sleep patterns.

That's correct. They denied my first request.. but I believe after speaking with my service manager they are going to approve it this time... Still waiting for word on what direction we are going. Have had a DEF fault and CEL as well as using a full tank of DEF in about 4,000 miles where it's supposed to last 16k+. My exhaust pipe is covered in white soot from the excessive DEF. It's been in 9 times for this.. replaced NOX sensor twice, DEF heater/pump, DEF injector... I got my car back on Wednesday evening last week after them having it for 23 days... "all fixed"... Thursday afternoon, CEL and DEF fault, no start in 200 mile warning lol. Been at dealer since Friday. Between the dealer having the car and me having it but waiting on parts, we are at 95 days of some time of service for warranty. Funny thing is, dealer knows it can't be fixed... already admitted it. google searching the code I get leads to forums saying there is no fix. I've had some really good in-depth conversations with the Service manager who 100% has my back (wish I recorded some of these conversations) but he has been on conference calls with corporate on how they can't wait for the 10 years to be up on these cars (my warranty is up in April of 24 on the emissions scandal).. and VW's direction to the dealers are, reset the code and let them drive off and cross their fingers it doesn't come back. They are waiting to start the celebration of the warranty being over. To add to all that, up until a little over a month ago, I was denied a loaner vehicle the whole time. It wasn't till I read the court order and agreement that VW is required to provide a rental/loaner for any emissions repair beyond 3 hours (every single repair is beyond 3 hours). So they've been in breach this whole time. Sorry, I went way off topic.... lol.. but man, this is driving me nuts.

I'm working on a buyback right now for my VW. My plan was to get an EV because my commute is approximately 700 miles a week across 6 days. Biggest problem while I wait for the buyback is that as stated, the Mach-E is losing its credit. The Y with the full $7,500 and it coming off immediately come Jan 1st is a major attraction to it despite me not really wanting a Tesla. Other options are a few vehicles that are getting 40+mpg in the $25k range.

Fixed it for you
