  1. My dealer finally confirmed it is 20 feet. I curious if you decided to have a level 2 charger installed. I was set on having one installed as I have some features in my home that would reduce the cost of the electrical wiring. I've done quite a bit of research in the past week on charging. From what I have read so far the faster you charge your vehicle there can be more degradation to the battery.
  2. As much as I said the Corsair was too small for me I test drove one a few weeks ago. I was thoroughly impressed with the handling and also felt like there was more room inside than the original impression I had. The capability to pull the rear seat forward will make a difference in the cargo capacity inside the hatch. I was going to trade my Nautilus for the Corsair I test drove. My father is a Ford retiree I qualify for the Z plan. The dealer wouldn't give me the Z plan from any vehicle in dealer inventory. The only way I could get that was to order a new vehicle. I thought about it over the weekend and viewed the Lincoln Corsair site. I found the Corsair Grand Touring was now available on the Build To Price and that dealers were accepting orders. So I went to the dealership last Monday and ordered a Corsair Grand Touring I. The dealer told me it could be up to 120 days before I receive it. I spoke to a friend who works at Louisville Assembly where it is built. The plant is down until July 19 due to the semiconductor supply issue. He told me it would most likely be about 2 weeks before they start building the Corsair Grand Touring.
  3. I will say I purchased my current 2019 Nautilus Reserve as a CPO in March 2019. I got an excellent deal on it. The current KBB value is at or above what I paid for it 15 months and 11,000 miles later.
  4. I found out from a friend that works at Louisville Assembly where the Corsair and Escape are built the plant won't resume production until July 19. The Corsair won't start until August. This is due to the semiconductor issue. My dealer told me customer orders are prioritized over dealer orders. I had to sign a document stating I was ordering the vehicle and didn't work for a dealership.
  5. I have a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Reserve that's fully loaded and has just under 30,000 miles and in very good to excellent condition. The dealer offered me at the very bottom end of KBB trade value. We didn't negotiate because they wouldn't give me the Z plan pricing from dealer inventory. I had to order to get that pricing. In Ohio, there are advantages to trading in as the sales taxes are based upon the difference between the purchase price and the trade in value. Once my new vehicle arrives I will be negotiating for a better trade value.
  6. Does anyone know the length of the included charging cord for the Corsair Grand Touring? I have perused the website and the ordering guide and can't seem to locate this bit of information. Thanks!

  8. The Corsair GT is now available to order. The build & price option is open as well so you can go to the website and configure your vehicle. https://shop.lincoln.com/configure/corsair/?inctmp=ln-vhp-bb-bp-corsair#/select/
  9. According to my dealer, they are accepting orders now. I am going to the dealership tomorrow to order a Corsair GT. Since my father is a Ford retiree I can use his Z plan. The discount is quite significant. Combine that with the US federal tax break of ~$6800 and it makes for a great deal. I'll be trading in my Nautilus once the new one arrives.
  10. I just attempted to trade my Nautilus for a new Corsair using my father's Z plan. Because the Corsair was from dealer stock they wouldn't allow me to use the Z plan. I was told I would have to order the vehicle to get the Z plan pricing.
  11. I'm curious as to when the build to price feature for the 2021 model will be on the US Lincoln website. I have a 2019 but I love the new interior for the 2021.
  12. Does anyone know if there will be a Grand Touring model of the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus? I'm interested in a plug-in hybrid. I find the Corsair too small and the Aviator too large for my taste. The Nautilus is the Goldilocks size for me.
  13. I have my phone updated to iOS 14.4 but still have the issue. I'll try rebooting the phone and see if that helps.
  14. Does anyone know if there will be a Grand Touring plug-in hybrid of the Nautilus? Initial indications are that Lincoln hasn't had enough interest from customers for a Grand Touring Nautilus. I am personally interested in a plug-in hybrid but find the Corsair too small and the Aviator too large. The Nautilus is the Goldilocks size for me.
  15. I have a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus reserve that has the wireless phone charging pad in the console. I recently got a new iPhone 12 Pro. It won't charge on the pad for some reason. It starts charging but within a few minutes I get an error message saying something has come between the charging pad and the phone. I have a case on the phone that works with other wireless chargers (not MagSafe). I thought it could be the protrusion of the cameras so I bought a protective cover for those as well. I still get the error message with or without the phone and camera covers. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix? Otherwise, I will mention it the next time I have the vehicle serviced to see what the dealer says.
  16. I just noticed in the US order guide the 2.7L engine AWD comes with dynamic ride cpntrol and paddle shifters. The online build to price isn't available yet in the US for the 2021 model. The 2020 model adds $2500 US for the 2.7L with mandatory AWD. Obviously, they are adding features along with the 2.7L enging. There is an order guide for Canada for 2021 model year on here under the order guides folder. That may give you a better idea of the price discrepancy.
  17. On past models in the US, the 2.7L engine required other features such as AWD. This is the reason for the increased price.
  18. It appears the 2021 model Nautilus will get an interior refresh with the new dash seen in other recently refreshed Lincolns. There has been significant discussion whether Nautilus will continue in North America. Ford has tooled a plant in China to build the Edge and Nautilus. As Oakville Assembly, where the Edge and Nautilus are currently produced in North America, is retooled for 5 electric vehicles, it is possible the Edge and Nautilus will be imported from China.
  19. All new vehicles go through a phosphate electro coat process in the factory to prevent rust. Any aftermarket product that drills holes in the metal would probably void any factory warranty for rust perforation. I strongly recommend against doing that.
  20. I did learn how to fold the mirrors in before entering or exiting the garage. It is SO simple. There is nothing in the owner's manual or any support video on the Lincoln website or YouTube that addresses this issue. You simple press the mirror lock button and they fold in automatically. They won't redeploy until you press the mirror lock button again. I wish I had known this $1600 ago.
  21. I agree about the rims. I prefer these to the Black Label rims.
  22. The ad velorem tax made your license plate fees very high depending on what vehicle you had, the model year, etc. based upon their own valuation of your vehicle, not KBB or any other industry valuation method. Our 5-year old Toyota Highlander Sport cost us around $365 per year for license plates. There was no way to dispute the valuation the state put on your vehicle. You just at to pony up the dollars or you got no license plates.
  23. Feel fortunate that's all it cost. I broke the passenger mirror off my Nautilus backing out of the garage (we have a very tight 2-car garage). The mirror and all the guts are intact and fine except the camera was dislodged. My repair bill is going to be $1438.08! The dealership can order almost any part off the mirror except the housing. In order to get the housing they have to buy the complete mirror assembly and then paint the housing!
  24. Thank you. I have only been around town. I'm anxious to get out and make a road trip.
  25. I have a Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited offset stick burner and a Weber Spirit gas grill. I smoked a lot of pork belly and 4 pork sirloin roasts this past weekend.
