I had already said it was horrible and hence didn’t like it, but akirby asked “why” I didn’t like it.  My answer was that there is often no reason to why we really like some things better than others.  We mostly just do whether it’s logical or makes sense to others.  Anyone who thinks others should like what they themselves like just because they think it’s best isn’t firing on all cylinders.  akirby asked a polite and respectful question and I thought it deserved an honest answer. That’s all.  Don’t try to understand what’s not there.  You’re correct I don’t like big screens in large part because they add to visual clutter.  But seriously, who cares?  That others like them doesn’t influence me any more than I influence them.  The only people who should care are manufacturers whose sales depend on what people actually think, like, and are willing to pay for.  Or in some cases willing to avoid. 😀   One reason I purchased my first Honda was that it had few but large buttons that were easy to locate and operate.  The Ford I had been driving back then was a royal pain with way too many tiny buttons, some located in horrible places hard to see or operate.  My point, to be clear, is that whoever designed the dash must have liked it and thought others would too.  That was definitely not the case with me.  I didn’t go with a Honda just because of dash design preference but it helped.  Since then I’ve owned three Hondas so bottom line is that little things can add up.  That’s one way companies lose market share.

It could be driven in some parts of Europe. But on some city roads the Maverick would still be too big.

Thanks for posting interesting and informative video, though wish they had touched on system costs, potential savings, and approximate payback period.  Makes sense that Zigenergy or PointGuard started with solar and battery storage for off-grid applications, like a remote cabin, where investment is more mandatory than based on cost savings.  Also sounds like a great system to have for power outages even when costs may not make sense on a purely financial basis.   In video the home owner stated the battery capacity was 16 kW, but the other guy (electrical video “expert”) mentioned 16 kWh which is likely correct.  Either way it’s not a huge system compared to Mach-E battery capacity which puts it in perspective.  The issue I would have to decide is that with stationary lithium batteries becoming so affordable, I would be tempted to add more home storage and not rely on the vehicle’s battery.  If the vehicle’s battery wears out, replacing may cost considerably more per kWh.  Plus early degradation would affect driving range.   When I was without power for an entire week last year it confirmed what I already knew (both technically and from previous outages), which is that without using home air conditioning I can get by just fine with very little power and energy.  A simple inexpensive solar system with minimal battery storage would likely suffice most of the time.  On the other hand powering my home’s air conditioner around the clock (or even a few hours) would require a huge system, and a car’s battery would not help much when power outages extend for a week.  It’s not a simple decision, which is also costly and may not get much use for extended periods.   Given the risk mentioned in video that Ford could pull the plug on entire system at any time, I would not invest in this bidirectional charging.  Also, charging an electric car that uses $30~50 a month of electricity at most would make investment too high to be worth it for me.  I do like the power backup aspect during power outages though.  

No you don’t.   😂😂😂

I know what you're trying to do 😂.

No they won’t. 😂🤨😂

I was thinking this thread was proof that people will argue about anything on the interweb 🤣

Really? We need to find better things to complain about. 

Well "plaster" in any case is the right word.  Not exactly a thought central to this thread but I have been meaning to say something about how GM designates a vehicle with a distinctive 3d chrome badge-like "Z-71" and Ford "plasters" a decal instead. My son has his second "new" Bronco-first was a manual, another story 🤔- and this new one had a sticker over 60g....same sticker- "proudly" displayed.

Just poking a little and funnin' around before I head out on a Sunday morning...
