  1. The Covid-19 coronovirus is more infectious than the seasonal influenza. Keep in mind that the seasonal influenza infection rate hasn't gone to zero, it's just been greatly reduced. This was seen in Australia ~6 months ago, the natural start of their seasonal influenza season.
  2. Lots of FOMO with this one.
  3. The same actions that are taken to curb the spread of Covid-19 also curb the spread of the flu. Both are mostly spread through airborne transmission where Covid-19 more so. No consipacies, only those that fail to understand science
  4. It's a common recall across multiple models and is a supplier issue.
  5. I was thinking the same thing but I think I see a muffler under the rear of the vehicle.
  6. I did have a look around on Google and it seems that this is common feature on Ford vehicles - Auto relock.
  7. After unlocking the door with the keypad, did you open any of the doors? I know that my car (2004 Mazda6) will re-lock the doors if the key fob is used to unlock the doors but no doors are opened within a specified period of time.
  8. Wow, that's great news. I was surprised at some of the vehicles that were being traded-in for the Bronco Sport - Infinity QX50, BMW, Cadillac, ...
  9. I suspect the same - low order rate. My wife was looking for a "color" for her Escape and found a Sedona Orange SEL that had been sitting on the lot for 10 months. She was happy to find it and I suspect that the dealer was happy to finally be rid of it
  10. I thought Tesla had the superior buying experience with no dealer to deal with? At least this is what I was led to believe. What happened?
  11. I liked the video too. We all like the sound of a mean ICE but that 1,400HP performance version sounded awesome! Farley must have been prompted to keep mentioning new Ford products as he kept mentioning the Bronco, F-150, ... every chance he got. Kind of annoying when the episode was about the Mach-E. He wasn't too talkative otherwise with mostly one word answers. Public speaking doesn't seem like his strong suit but maybe that's a good thing. Does he have an engineering background?
  12. More likely the low to mid 7's. The Escape is high 6's and I expect this to be a bit slower.
  13. Looks like the Bronco is delayed for a bit due to supplier issues. Hopefully the only delay: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/breaking-news-january-ordering-summer-delivery-black-first-edition-interior-no-manual-sasquatch-more.9657/
  14. Ugh. Try to break free from the politics again... This example is a perfect reason that Fuel Cells will be a viable option in the future. I know that some around here call them "Fool Cells" but they do have their place and are ZEV.
  15. Except for all the owners that are getting stranded with no fuel/battery power ?
  16. Almost as bad as the "Self Charging Hybrids".
  17. Unfortunately, the 2.0 is only available and standard on the top end model. Only the 1.5L is available on the other trims.
  18. Yes, that's how I remember it as well. Cadillac will be GM's fully electric brand.
  19. The one cost that Ford can't quantify is the loss of future sales/customers due to this. There are probably a few pissed off customers or potential future customers that won't touch a(nother) Ford product because of this. You can't piss off customers with poor quality and expect them to keep coming back. Likewise, you can't expect new customers to purchase your products with perceived quality issues.
  20. I doubt it - it's probably something else. I suspect that the push button start is to the right of the steering wheel, where you can't see it in the photo, the same as the Escape and Bronco Sport.
