While not what you were expecting, can’t wait to see how swapping a Honda into a Ferrari works out!

Agreed. I do think GM has looked to innovate further and definitely hope Ford doesn’t rest on just being the market leader all this time.
Having a Model 3 with LFP I cant agree more on that side of things. While LFP is not the end game it does give me 100% charge every time for a minimal trade...
I too fawned over the 73 911 RS!
I should not have said everyone… But Ford already calling it obsolescent and planning to etch a sketch in a couple years is indicative of a company trying to rush to market to maintain dominance, not to be innovative as an EV… yet
To each their own… I find it clunky and not an intuitive UX at all. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do when they actually refresh the platform. It just feels long in the tooth
It’s funny… this thread asking about when the R1T gets outdated and at the same time everyone’s fawning over the Lightning… which hasn’t changed in design much for years, if not decades! My good friend replaces his Ford truck for work (Contractor) every couple years for 20 years now and I am...
We have a standard 3 with LFP battery. My wife was not sure she would like it, but our previous daily driver sucked a valve and was waaaaayyy too much to replace the engine in for the value of the car (2015 328i). We went a year using my GX470 as our everyday car. 2000 miles a month in that...
Agreed — I think the point that I was underscoring was that Tesla regularly makes changes mid ”model year” and that is not atypical of a traditional car manufacturer of old.
I do not work for Rivian — sorry to disappoint. I work for an entertainment/electronics company that announced cars at the show. Outside the show there was a lot more “show” for those whose companies didnt want them onsite, in the building.
Having a booth at the show and being at the show with trucks are 2 different things. I expected to be at CES in January to help show off our entry into the EV space, but didnt happen. Most companies are still not paying for reservations for floor space to only have to bail on it. I expect you’ll...
I can confirm this. My model 3 has an LFP battery in it. I was one of the first to get it when they did that in October 2021. BTW, the LFP battery is awesome! 100% charge every time. They changed a few other items in the car in 2021 that changed at different times. It wasn’t a full refresh for...
Agreed. my GX470 with AT tires gets about 275 miles at best for $100 in gas. With AT tires on the R1T I’m looking at pretty much the same range. While I get the range anxiety argument, I also find it moot. I’ve never had range anxiety in my GX even several hours into Death Valley with no petrol...
Here’s a new wild theory I just thought up… you know, to give us something to talk about while waiting! Bwahahahah..
Per the Dec RJ email if only “several hundred“ of the vehicles delivered were employee deliveries, maybe the other earliest pre-order holders were Ford employees! ? Makes sense...
I was under the impression the infotainment system was on Android as well having seen the same job postings, but I also see the same QNX postings. Unreal engine is hitting both there, but Im also not as familiar with QNX. Thus… who knows!
More than happy using the Tesla system. Also, a lot of the reason that people wanted a better mapping app was because Apple and Google were not accurate when they launched. Some folk were driving the wrong places. It has long since been resolved, but not before the Waze craze happened
