I hope you scrolled down to read the part about where the author is a doctor, but not a medical specialist. She holds a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science. Conclusion shopping will always garner what you are looking for, not necessarily what is the truth.

There isn't enough power for an SSD to operate. I purchased a 1 GB USB thumb drive that works perfectly. I just need to take the time to burn all my CDs to the drive.

The warranty on your vehicle should be 4 years/50,000 miles whichever comes first. As long as it is within this warranty period it should be repaired by the dealer at no cost even if you're not the original owner.

I love it. I really only have a couple of minor complaints. The engine noise is a bit harsh for a Lincoln. I had a 2019 Nautilus Reserve with AWD and the 2.7L engine. It was much quieter than the 2.5L Atkinson cycle engine on the Corsair GT. I sprung for the 24 way adjustable seats because I loved them on my Nautilus. They are not anything like the comfort of the Nautilus seats. They aren't uncomfortable but they definitely don't have as much padding as I think they should. When I ordered my vehicle the 24 way adjustable seats were a stand alone option at $1100. I think the for 2022 model they are part of a package. Both of these are common complaints I have seen on the Lincoln forum. I got every option on mine except the bigger wheels. I couldn't see plucking down $2000 for 20" wheels. I prefer the 19" wheels that are standard on the GT. I got the Revel audio system too. I love the sound. As for charging, you don't need a level 2 charger. The included charging cable can plug into a 120V 16A outlet or a 240V 20A dual pole outlet with the included adapter. Recharging if the batteries are completely depleted at 120V takes around 11 hours and gets you around 28 miles of all electric driving. Recharging at 240V takes around 3.5 hours. The 240V outlet is a NEMA 6-20R configuration. I had a licensed electrician put in the 240V outlet in my garage. I have almost 950 miles so far and am getting nearly 60 MPG but that does include a lot of city driving on all electric. I have found that you need to engage the ICE a few times per week to keep the 12V battery charged. Otherwise, you get a notice that your vehicle is in deep sleep mode to conserve the battery power.

Ford is working on development of a new type of charging cord with Purdue University that will be a gamechanger for EV recharging. They have found a way to cool the cord so it can take much higher charging rates to the point that recharging an EV vehicle will be as fast as gassing up an ICE vehicle. This technology is probably 4 - 5 years from deployment as the charging stations and hardware/software on the EVs will have to be upgraded to handle the rapid charging. I have a Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring and bought this type of vehicle to be a bridge until the battery and charging technology improves as mentioned above. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2021/11/10/ford-and-purdue-charging-station.html https://www.thedrive.com/tech/43155/ford-purdue-cooling-patent-could-charge-evs-as-fast-as-gas-station-fill-ups

Job #1 for the 2022 model year Corsair has been pushed out to December 2. I ordered my 2021 GT on July 5. It was delivered to the dealership on September 30. I can tell you the wait is worth it.

Probably longer than the ICE maniacs took to block charging stations and roll smoke on EVs. ?

Your iPhone 6S is not compatible with wireless charging. The first iPhone that was compatible with wireless charging is the iPhone 8.

EVs are here to stay. Currently, no automaker can build them fast enough to satisfy demand whether it be Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, GM or Ford. The supply chain for microchips and batteries are the biggest constraints on the back side. Ford, GM and Stellantis are not fully ready to mass produce electric vehicles. This will impede the transition from ICE to EV more than anything else. The battery and microchip supply will improve within the next 2 - 3 years. Then it will be up to the automakers to begin mass production. Ford in conjunction with Purdue University has developed a charging cord that can make charging an EV as fast as filling up an ICE vehicle with gas. The hardware and software on the EV as well as the charging stations will have to be upgraded in order to handle rapid charging of this nature. The power grid is not a big consideration in the adoption of EVs. The recently enacted infrastructure bill includes money to bolster the grid and to increase the availability of charging stations.

Here is a link to the TSB. They are using a piece of heater hose and a hose clamp for the repair. https://www.tsbsearch.com/Lincoln/21-2185

No Corsairs have an engine cover for any model. It was part of Lincoln's decontenting.

I had a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus AWD with the 2.7L ICE. The Nautilus was significantly quieter than my 2021 Corsair GT when the ICE kicks in.

Grand Touring vehicles come with a charging cord that plugs into a standard 120V outlet (16A) and includes an adapter that will plug into a NEMA 6-20R (20A) outlet. The charging times go from around 11 hours with the 120V to 3 - 4 hours with the 240V. A level 2 charger will not improve the charging times by much. I have a Corsair Grand Touring and used the 120V outlet at first. I recently had a licensed electrician install a 240V outlet in my garage. I much prefer the 240V option. My installation costs were $250 because we already had a secondary breaker box that had room and the line from the breaker box to the garage wall wasn't horribly long. The breaker is a 20A dual pole breaker. Installation of a Level 2 charger will cost more. Typically they require a 50A circuit so the wiring and breakers cost more to start. Add in the cost of the electrician hooking up the charging unit and attaching it to the wall. Webasto does have a standard charge of $800 for the charging unit and wiring. You are correct on Webasto having a very low inventory for chargers. Tesla is now offering a J1772 charger that is compatible with the Lincoln Grand Touring series at a very competitive price of $415 excluding installation. This price is far lower than most of the options I have seen on Amazon. Note: Tesla recommends installing with a 50-amp circuit breaker for maximum power output. For owners with multiple electric vehicles, up to four Gen 2 J1772 Wall Connectors can share available power, making it possible to charge multiple vehicles at home. Power sharing is only possible when connected to other Tesla Gen 2 J1772 Wall Connectors. https://shop.tesla.com/product/j1772-gen-2-wall-connector

Even though the charging cord included with the vehicle is sufficient, some folks have opted to have Level 2 chargers installed in their homes.

I just saw this on another forum and am experiencing the same issue. The driver seat pan (bottom cushion) moves slightly when making left or right turns. There is now a TSB for this. RECORD_ID: 3149877 Bulletin Number: TSB 21-2185 Replacement Service Bulletin Number: N/A NHTSA Item Number: 10199519 Date Posted: 07-19-2021 Component Name: 220000 SEATS Make: LINCOLN Model: CORSAIR Year: 2021 Date Added: 08-02-2021 Summary: Some 2020-2021 Explorer/Aviator/Corsair vehicles may experience seat pan looseness, lateral movement and/or clunk/thump noise on turns. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reinforce the cushion hook.

Here is the first review I've seen of the Corsair Grand Touring. I agree with the writer the 24-way adjustable seats need more cushioning and the ICE is very noisy. Otherwise, it's a great vehicle and I am loving mine. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/544951/2021-lincoln-corsair-hybrid-review/amp/

I've found all you have to do is threaten to cancel their service. They will drop their price significantly to keep a customer. Works EVERY time.

I have taken my Corsair GT through the car wash twice. Both times, an excessive amount of water runs out of the spoiler down the center to either side of the third tail light and on both outer edges. I'm not talking about drips. I'm talking about a steady stream of water that runs out for over 20 minutes. The last trip through the car wash I opened the liftgate and kept it open while I dried my vehicle and vacuumed the floor. After I shut the liftgate, water continued to pour out. I even took the vacuum at the carwash and stuck it on the corners where the water was running out. This didn't stop it from running. I drove 5 minutes to the grocery store and had to wipe down the area again. I drove home and parked it in the garage and wiped it down again. Several hours later when we were leaving to go out for the night I had to wipe off the area again where water had ran out and dried. I'm thinking there is some sealer missing or something is wrong with the spoiler.

Hertz paying close to retail price for 100,000 vehicles proves Ford made the correct decision to show Mark Fields the door.

I'm always a little leery of Google results as sometimes they take you to nefarious sites. I was able to locate the Ford SYNC Forum and joined it.

I have a 2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring. SYNC version is 3.4.21194.

Where do I find those?

I bought a portable SSD that can connect via USB-A or USB-C. I have a substantial collection of music CDs and would like to rip them to the drive so I have an alternate source of music other than FM or SiriusXM. I formatted the drive to exFAT. I am using a Windows PC and Windows Media Player to rip the music to the drive. I have the settings to use WMA (lossless) format for the audio. I've tried ripping directly to the drive as well as to my PC and then copying over to the drive. When I plug it into my car in the USB ports in my console, I get a message saying my device isn't supported. Is this because it is a SSD and not a USB or am I doing something wrong in formatting? Help!

Once the Ford or Lincoln vehicle tracking site shows your vehicle has shipped, you can track it more accurately via this website. You don't need to sign up. You just need your VIN. https://www.palsapp.com/

Here is something new and VERY irritating. If you set up a personal profile and delete it or save new seat settings to the memory button you used for this profile, it erases ALL your presets in audio and resets the number of preset cells to 3. I thought I was losing my mind and that there was something wrong with the vehicle. I purposely tried it this morning and YUP, all audio presets were gone. I went through ALL my seat and presets to make certain I had everything just like I wanted and then set up my profile again. I have it set to my key fob and my phone.
