  1. Here is the 2024 Corsair Dealer Order Guide. It hasn't been uploaded to the Dealer Order Guide tab. 2024 Corsair order guide.pdf
  2. It is $2.72 per gallon for regular in central Ohio. It is predicted to go below $2.00 by Christmas. I use the Gas Buddy app which lops off 3 cents per gallon. I also have the Gas Buddy fuel card that is linked to my bank account. By using it I can get up to 25 cents per gallon off the posted price. I can also use a stations customer loyalty card to use accumulated discounts from them.
  3. According to the dealer order guide, the printed owners manual will no longer be provided with your vehicle. It is available digitally through the Lincoln website, the Lincoln Way app or the vehicle touch screen. https://www.lincoln.com/support/vehicle/nautilus/2024/owner-manuals/ You can order the owners manual from Helm: You can order Owner's Manuals from 1940 to the present through Helm. The cost is US $35. It is currently listed out of stock but you can sign up for email notifications when it becomes available. http://www.helminc.com/ You can call Helm at: 1-800-782-4356. I have attached the currently owners manual and warranty information below. 2024_Lincoln_Nautilus_Owners_Manual_version_1.2_EN-US.pdf US_Lincoln_Car_LTtruck_Warranty_Guide_v2_9.7.23.pdf
  4. When will the 2024 Corsair dealer order guide be uploaded?
  5. Someone in the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus Facebook page posted a copy of a window sticker of a vehicle that is in transit to their dealership. It was the standard 2.0 L I4 engine. I posed the question if he had seen one for the FHEV but haven't received a response yet. window-sticker.pdf
  6. My understanding is there is a larger electric motor in the North American model, 100 KW vs. 80 KW. This would explain the difference. I think this was done due to the 2.7L engine being dropped. I've also seen in some YouTube videos the Chinese version door handles are much lower on the door and mimic Tesla door handles. They are flush to the body until you wave your hand across. The door handle extends outward.
  7. I placed an order for a FHEV White Platinum Black Label Nautilus on 11/21. Within an hour I received a confirmation email from Lincoln. Now, the wait begins.
  8. From what I can tell, Lincoln is sending out prototype vehicles to dealers all over the country for 1 day previews. They are in various trim levels from the Premier like I saw up to the Black Label. I can say, if I were forced to buy the Premier II I wouldn't be unhappy. It is a very nice vehicle.
  9. Here is my review of the 2024 Nautilus after seeing it at my dealership. We could sit in it but not start it or drive it.
  10. Thank you for the clarification. I knew they couldn't be sold but I also thought they couldn't be brought into the country without those items. I learned something new.
  11. I was able to go to my dealership today and see a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus in the Premier II trim and hybrid engine. Even this base model was quite impressive. The EPA hasn't published ratings on their website yet but are expected to do so in January 2024. With a 20 gallon fuel tank that would give a considerable amount of range. The front display is mesmerizing. The right half of the display is customizable with 5 different views, 3 of which can be displayed at any one time. The center touch screen is a nice size and very responsive. According to the Lincoln representative, the operating system for this model has switched from SYNC to Google for the operating system. The response time was much quicker than SYNC on both booting up and changing screens and settings. The front vents can only be adjusted using the touch screen. You can manually move them around on the 11.1" touch screen or choose presets to close, move toward the body, move away from the body or to oscillate. The vents in the rear seats are manually adjustable. The rear seat space was more than ample. In my photos the front seats are pushed back as far as they can go. My test subject in the photo is 5'11" so you can see how much leg room there is. There are 2 USB-C ports each on the back of the driver and passenger seats. There is a 110V outlet at the bottom of the rear console. The arm rest in the center of the rear seats opens up for a small storage space that would probably only hold a cell phone. There is a flip out cup holder in the arm rest too. The front console isn't huge but would suffice. It has 2 USB-C ports and a power point inside it. Just forward of the console is a tamboured door that covers 2 cup holds, a USB-A and a USB-C port and the excellently positioned wireless phone charger at the front. There is a large crystal dial that is the volume control. There are hard buttons surrounding the dial for auto hold, hazard lights, drive modes, etc. The squarish steering wheel made it easy to view the massive front display. There is no HUD available but I honestly don't think it would add anything. There was plenty of room between the bottom of the steering wheel and my legs even with the seat position at its highest level. The base Premier has the Lincoln Premium Stereo with 10 speakers. Moving up the Premier II gets the Revel 14 speaker sound system, Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2 for 4 years, Digital Scent, Panoramic Vista Roof, the 110V outlet, heated second row seats and hands free liftgate. At Reserve I you get the adaptive suspension. Reserve III and Black Label you get the Revel Ultima 28 speaker sound system and 24 way perfect position massaging sears. I'm very impressed and will be ordering one in the near future. My salesman said the transit time once shipped to central Ohio would be around 70 days.
  12. There are a couple of things going on. Oakville is winding down production of the 2023 Nautilus and will build it out by the end of December. China began building the 2024 Nautilus in mid-September. As of this morning, the EPA still hasn't issued MPG ratings for the 2024 Nautilus. Likewise, NHTSA and IIHS have not issued crash test ratings. Until these two key pieces of data are available, there will be no window stickers for the vehicles and this would keep them from clearing customs. Since the plant in China is near their east coast, vehicles will go via cargo ship to the US and Canada on our west coasts. Once in North America, the vehicles will have to ship via rail and finally by convoy to the dealerships. I would anticipate the shipping to take several months dependent upon your location. Everything I have read said they will be available in the first quarter of 2024.
  13. I currently drive a Corsair Grand Touring. It has the eCVT in it. I'm quite impressed with everything about it. This is technology Ford licensed from Toyota. I would expect they would continue to use this until Ford can develop something in house.
  14. According to Automotive News Future Product Pipeline, the ICE version of Escape production will end in 2025 and be replaced by a similar size EV. Corsair ICE production will also end around the same time. The Future Product Pipeline shows a Lincoln C-segment EV code CX802 being produced at Oakville. This information may not be entirely accurate since the new UAW contract appears to be well on its way to ratification. It would make sense the Lincoln EV would be produced at Louisville along with the Ford sibling.
  15. I'd schedule a visit to the dealership and take a service tech on a drive so they can hear it isn't functioning. Otherwise, you could get the dreaded "couldn't duplicate". This is a federally mandated safety feature so they will jump on it.
  16. This example was in Marysville, Ohio on October 6 driving through downtown during a busy event. Marysville is the site of the first Honda automobile manufacturing plant. The downtown has advanced technology that allows V2V communication and it may be this Cybertruck was testing that sort of technology.
  17. I do NOT recommend this cord. It is manufactured by Webasto, the same company that provided my OEM charging cord. The OEM cord failed and nearly caused a fire in my garage. This replacement cord has the exact same design. Webasto refuses to take any responsibility. I have a pending complaint with NHTSA and have provided the additional information they requested.
  18. Once again, the specifications for the charging cord was for a 20A circuit. It isn't my fault Lincoln provided a defective cord manufactured by Webasto nor that the replacement cord had completely different specifications. You're implying it is my electrician's fault for not installing a 60A circuit when the reality is the cord would have failed regardless of a 20A or 60A circuit. As for BEVs, the charging technology will most likely change significantly in the next 5 - 10 years. After this happened to me, I found out Webasto had a similar cord that was recalled by NHTSA in 2018 for the same reason. This affected numerous auto makers including Ford, GM, BMW and others. I have filed a report with NHTSA for the issue with my cord.
  19. My original cord required a 20A dual pole 240V NEMA 6-20 circuit. This was noted in the specifications I posted above and is what my licensed electrician installed. This isn't bare minimum. The original cord drew peak 16A at 240V or peak 12A at 120V, also listed in the specifications. The new circuit is a dual pole 240V 60A NEMA 15-40 circuit. I'm future proofed for any new requirements as well as having the ChargePoint Home Flex charger installed to this circuit. The new charging cord I will use for travel has the same requirements at 120V as the original cord.
  20. I had a NEMA 6-20 outlet installed by a licensed electrician for a 20A 240V circuit for the Lincoln branded Turbocord that was provided with my vehicle as the OEM charginging cord. I used the provided adapter to plug into the 240V outlet. I never unplugged the cord from the outlet and had a cord holder installed to keep the cord out of the way when I wasn't charging. It worked fine for almost a year. Last month, I had my vehicle plugged in as usual. I had to go to my garage to get something and saw the Turbocord LED was flashing red as was the charging indicator on my vehicle. I unplugged the cord from my vehicle then unplugged the cord from the outlet. The plug was extremely hot and the prongs were as hot as branding irons. I know the plug will be warm during charging but this was way hotter than usual. I contacted my dealership and they said the would replace the cord. The new cord is referred to by Webasto as the Webasto Go. The new cord, also branded as Lincoln, has a specification of 40A for 240V along with a NEMA 14-50 outlet. It also has a separate attachment to plug into a 120V 20A NEMA 5-15 outlet. The service manager at my dealership advised me in writing the original Turbocord had several reports of "thermal issues" and that it could cause a fire. I had purchased a Webasto branded Turbocord as a travel cord. That is also now in the junkpile as I am afraid to even try it. I had to get my licensed electrician out to install a new circuit and outlet for the new cord set-up. Labor and materials have significantly increased since I had the original circuit installed. The new outlet and circuit cost me $1650. The new circuit having to be higher amperage also contributed to the increase cost. This same circuit supports a ChargePoint Home Flex charger so I had that installed to use for my home charging. I will use the new cord as my travel charger. Yes, I am very salty about this. I have filed a complaint with NHTSA over the cord since it is a fire hazard. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't gone to my garage. In the meantime, I have contacted the Lincoln Concierge. They are refusing to pay anything toward the new circuit. The new cord was covered under the OEM warranty. I wasn't expecting them to pay for the new circuit in its entirety but I do think in all fairness they should pay half. Here is a link to the original cord that was provided as OEM with my vehicle: https://www.techwebasto.com/documentation/charging-systems/evse-products/turbo-cord-240-volt-turbo-cord-dual-120-240-volt Here is a link to the new cord I received and was told is now being provided as OEM with Grand Touring vehicles: https://info.evsolutions.com/webasto-go
  21. If you have purchased this charging cord as a spare, you should stop using it immediately. My OEM cord of similar design overheated and failed. My dealership service manager told me to stop using both cords immediately because they have had several reports of overheating that could cause a fire. He even put this in writing. The replacement cord has completely different electrical circuit requirements including a different outlet and a much higher amperage rating.
  22. I have a 2021 Corsair GT. The OEM charging cord has failed. I had my vehicle plugged in and it started charging. Sometime during the charging process the cord failed. Fortunately, I had to go to my garage to retrieve something and noticed both the charging port light on the vehicle and the LED on the charging cord were flashing red. I unplugged the cord from my vehicle and then unplugged with cord from the outlet. The plug was extremely hot with the prongs being hot as branding irons. The service manager at my dealership advised me there had been several reports of thermal events and that I should immediately stop using my spare cord as well as there could be a fire. I contacted my dealership and was provided a new cord. It is completely different from the OEM cord I was given. The electrical circuit requirements are for a much higher amperage circuit and a completely different plug. I ended up having the circuit rewired at great expense. I have contacted Lincoln Concierge to see if they would help cover the cost for rewiring since the part that was under warranty failed and the new one required a high amperage circuit and outlet. They are refusing any assistance and deny any culpability. Has anyone else with a similar cord as shown in this link experienced the same overheating issue? https://store.evsolutions.com/turbocord-240v-plug-in-ev-charger-p51.aspx?ShowReviews=True&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Smart+Shopping+-+WS&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=1169429514&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_cam=1876320147&hsa_ad=&hsa_kw=&hsa_grp=&hsa_mt=&hsa_ver=3&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyracBhDoARIsACGFcS5VeQJsWiC7vXxvJvdHNemr0m461oU4STpBe1O8yzpdMDq8WDCUrkQaAnpFEALw_wcB
  23. Those early reviews were incorrect. There are several drive modes that are available that will either run only ICE or only EV until the batteries are depleted. These drive modes are accessed via a dial on the center console and show up on the drivers screen in the center. The default mode is Normal and it will always revert to this mode once the vehicle is shut off.
  24. Does anyone know when the dealer order guide for 2023 model year will be available on this forum? The last model year shown on the tab is 2022.
