Rivian’s big problem is price. I can’t really pinpoint one thing “wrong” with the Lightning. Ford recent quality reputation and dealer experience is probably holding it back more than anything else.
I’m ok with this. The federal government has already spent waaaay too much on charging infrastructure with nothing to show for it. Leave it to the states and/or the private sector. Tesla has already proven they’re way more effective at it than the government.
I know nothing about Mexican politics but I’m fairly sure the D-bag up north doesn’t GAF about what the people think. Hell, there’s been plenty of discontent within the populace for years now and he still got reelected somehow.
That’s been par for the course with Ford design lately. For whatever reason they don’t look as good in pictures as they do in person. Mach-E is the biggest example of that I can think of.
I didn’t know Costco had special pricing for Fords, I thought it was only GM products. I’ll have to look into that and see if I can find an answer for you if someone doesn’t beat me to it.
This epitomizes everything I hate about appearance packages. Charge a butt ton of money for no useful return on that extra cost. At least with the Ranger black appearance package (at least with the pre-2024 one) it came with a spray in bedliner which is an actual useful addition.
