  1. So 42,000 points is worth $210. Here is the breakdown from the Ford owner report. 7,500miles (11,000 points), 15k miles (11,000 points) and 22,500miles (20,000 points) services are covered. Those 3 equal 42k which is what Ford gives you. If you buy a diesel you are issued more points (75k) to cover the same 3 services. All you have to do is tell the cashier who you would pay for the service that you want to use your points and they can pull up your account and use them.
  2. The points you get equate to the first 3 oil changes being free. If one chooses to use their points towards that is up to them.
  3. Now you wait just a minute fuzzy........ Tesla has 2 tents.
  4. That's because Ford is the past and Tesla is the future.
  5. Had to steal this... Ford may be able to learn from Fiat. https://binged.it/2tlQi3F
  6. Why do they need to build a gigafactory? They already sell almost 7 times the vehicles and are net profitable year after year. Seems they are doing just fine the way they are doing it. At what point will their gigafactory need another gigafactory and another? 750k? 1mil? Once they start building more factories, it's going to really resemble what all the other manufacturers are doing.
  7. Curious, if it was posted on reddit and InsideEV linked to it, how is this something against InsideEV? They didnt create the posts and conversations.
  8. 6 years old this may and my 6.7 has had ZERO issues with anything dpf or emissions related. If you consider 5 gallons of DEF every oil change a headache, then I guess yes. When you sell, you get back just about every penny of that diesel option so although it does cost more upfront in regards to a payment, it doesnt cost much more in the long run. Add to that the fun factor of HP/torque, I wouldn't go gas.

  10. Yup, blend doors.. typically 4 of them on a dual zone system. One controls drivers side hot/cold, one controls passenger hot cold, one controls direction (defrost, floor etc).. dont remember the 4th without looking it up. The hot air is there, the door controls how much mixes with cold so as you tease the temp, the door diverts instantly so it s hei oyld only take a second or two tops to feel it.
  11. Not if the deposits are refundable. A refundable deposit means nothing. They can get their money back at any time. There is zero commitment when a refundable deposit is made. Their deposit system is purely interest free loans from consumers to continue running their business in the red. You would be a great Marketing/PR spokesman for Tesla the way you constantly try to spin them in such a fantastic well operated company.
  12. So how does the $2,500 deposits for the Model Y and the $100 deposit (250,000 reservations) at a $25 million. I cant stand his business model of let take deposits years in advance so we can play with people's money. If every single vehicle that is made is sold (questionable), then why do they need a deposit years in advance?
  13. 3 minutes faster than the chevy.. that's crazy!!
  14. Starting Feb 1st, all 2020s will get free maintenance for 3yr/36k. They are really stepping their game up. Granted now with the Ford pass points you get, it covers the first 3 services too so Ford is pretty on par with this. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/hyundai-expands-warranty-coverage-add-140000484.html
  15. Could you lose $10,000 a month for 11 years? Exactly.
  16. There are no plans currently but they will be happy to take a deposit for it now to hold your spot.
  17. Yes you can buy a used ESP with your mileage. My contact will sell it at dealer cost to you. See the sticky st the top of the forum. You can go with more coverage then powertrain if you want. Used coverage is 12month/12k intervals and you can get up to 6yr/75k (I know I said 12k intervals but for some reason they go to 75k). Also, used plans start at the time you buy it, so if you bought a 5yr/60k today, the 5yr/60k starts today.
  18. Yes because Mr. Savage Geese knows exactly what Ford is/was thinking. His comments are 100% his opinion and not fact. And some of his opinions were straight out wrong (based on facts that prove such). I will say, he was right in regards to some of what he said (I should say, I feel the same way). I will also say that he said many times that he really likes the Explorer.
  19. Ford should allow the last setting to stay so we dont have to keep hitting the 3 buttons everytime. It should be full with taking up 2/3s of the top and then the radar sensors taking up the bottom 1/3.
  20. Yes, we are all complaining about the 10.1 layout. Just a disaster for screen utilization.
  21. Anybody can be "so far ahead" of somebody else when they burn through so much cash they can never make an annual profit. 11 years of losses.. but hey they are so far ahead of everybody else.
  22. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/yikes-someone-stole-wheels-off-155100898.html Hahahahahaha
  23. And doesnt turn a profit.. so what does that tell you and how much value is there when it is always red? Oh, Toyota made $17 billion net for last fiscal year... yes, look out Toyota!!!
