The 2026 EV Market & Trends Report from Recurrent mentions Ford as one of the EV brands with no apparent range loss over the first 5 years of ownership   The average EV retains 97% of its range after 3 years and 95% after 5 years, according to our analysis of over 1 billion miles. That means a 2026 model with 325 miles of expected range today is still a 309-mile EV in 2031.   That's supported by historical data. For 68% of 2023 models, they still exceed their EPA range today.   Some carmakers are also designing consistency into the driver experience by releasing reserved battery capacity or tuning range algorithms through over-the-air software updates as vehicles age.   EV brands with no apparent range loss over the first 5 years of ownership: Cadillac Ford Hyundai Mercedes Rivian

The current Nautilus is not boring or anonymous or overpriced.

it looks like he is getting them from google news-I have a friend who sends stuff like that via sms   

And the unibody part. And the anonymous part. And the boring part. And the overpriced part.   The opposite of all that among Black Label Lincoln vehicles is this American made, body on frame flagship that has the road presence and overall character to justify its price:  

Oh please Autoblog.  The $8B loss had nothing to do with tariffs.

I’m much younger and while I think it does get the Ecoboost v. V8 thing correct, I’m increasingly skeptical of an all-electric future rather than a mixed electric and hybrid market at least late into next decade. Accordingly I would be surprised to see the Mustang stop being ICE rather than some Ecoboost hybrid (which for the record I’d love to have as my next car).

I ordered a 24 F250 Lariat 6.7l and picked it up 12/2023. There have been significant problems with the truck: -Various electrical problems including passenger side door switches malfunctioning and trailer light hookup failure. - Transmission failure at 101,000 miles. Dealer responded with “It happens”. This was after reporting the delayed shift between 3-4th gear early on. I was told that “they all do it “. What a joke to drive the heavy duty truck calmly and have the transmission die so soon! - Most recently, I discovered the passenger side front wheel bearing was bad at 112,000 miles. After pulling the bearing, I discovered that the inner case seal on the differential was missing!  It was obviously never installed at the factory and allowed dirt and water into the housing.  in short, I am disgusted by ford’s inability to produce a nominally decent product for an above average price.
