    I'm assuming "Velocity Max" mode is a 0-Xmph sprint. Are there details on just everyday power numbers when you're not sprinting from a stop? Like, I'm just rolling around and floor it, what's it putting out then? Or, is this just a version of Sport mode and you leave it in that for just everyday driving, if you want max output? You're not getting a full charge in 18 minutes. That's probably a 20-80% number.

    Thanks! So I wasn't going crazy when I thought it was their V6's. Somebody in an automotive Facebook group I'm a part of has a hybrid Maverick. It's had a bunch of recalls but he hasn't had any issues with it...yet. It's only like a year old for him though. I do think the Maverick has been pretty reliable even though it's had a ton of recalls. I don't believe anything is consistently leaving anybody stranded. If it makes you feel any better, they contribute to both political parties. I'd assume they, like many other companies, do this to suck up to whomever wins.

    I thought the V6 turbo iForce-Max had issues, too? Or maybe when I heard iForce-Max I just assumed it was the V6, but I thought it was a Tundra-thing.

    Traffic circles are pretty awesome devices. I don't recall ever driving over a speed hump that wasn't in a parking lot. I'm sure there are some, but maybe not in IL or MO.

    Ahhhh yes, I did misunderstand you. I understand what you meant now. Thank you!

    He did use it to brighten the subject though. Is that still okay though? I'm actually not much of a Bond-film person. I don't actually think I've seen any of them from beginning to end. It's not that I'm opposed to them, just never really been attracted to them either. I actually should give them a go on my commute when I run out of crap to watch. What woman do you think would fit the role perfectly? I can't think of one off the top of my head but I'm sure there are a few, at least.

    I'm a big Idris Elba fan and I think he would fit the mold perfectly.

    I mean, that's what's listed on their website. Do you always add destination charges to your pricing? I doubt it, unless it fits your argument. The $28,145 is not employee pricing. Hahaha exactly... so why compare the two???

    F150 owners don't as much either. Maverick owners very likely are buying because of efficiency. I'm sure they didn't exactly want a teens city number for fuel economy. Raptors also probably have 28-36 gallon tanks. My MKC with it's little 15.1 gallon tank couldn't get 300 miles out of a tank unless you were driving all highway and also drove it to E. Sub-300 mile tanks is pretty annoying, to be honest. I know these Mavericks have 16.5 gallon tanks, so that is a pretty good improvement, and a 2.3 would still yield over 300 miles now...most likely.

    They're listing it as starting at $28,145 on Ford's website right now(2025s). I don't know where you're getting 31k from?
  11. ccap41
    Yeah, that wasn't a very efficient engine though, so I assume they still had a MPG/emissions target in mind.

    I really dig what this is. I want to say I'm a little disappointed there wasn't some power bump here, but they know the aftermarket will handle this easily and anybody wanting more power was going to do that regardless. Those wheels.. are FANTASTIC!

    With this kind of editing, No. I do not think a disclosure is necessary. Eliminating things around the subject don't necessitate a disclosure, to me.

    I have no issues with that use-case. The adjustments absolutely were an improvement.
  15. ccap41
    So it can charge at 11kw level 2 chargers(if they're capable of that) but we don't yet know about the DC charging speed yet, correct?
  16. ccap41
    The variable compression is SUPER awesome but it couldn't be used in a more bland, boring and underwhelming way. This is very Nissan. I also understand it doesn't need to be used in a sporty vehicle to be "cool". It's the total output in a 3-row SUV that makes is suck.
  17. ccap41
    It has to be. It still just seems odd that they'd save enough to not just use something that's already in their EVs.
  18. ccap41
    Practicality got the best of ya... smart. So what made you go the minivan route?
  19. ccap41
    Hmmm that is interesting. I wonder why 7.2 isn't more standard, if they're already accepting L2 charging. Thank you for looking this up!
  20. ccap41
    Yeah, 50kw is certainly better than 7.2 or 1.2 from a house, but it's not great either. Then again it'll be full(or close enough) just by running into any store or eating anywhere real quick.

    "fast charging" isn't all that fast for a small battery. 30 minutes for like 35 miles of range added is really slow.
  22. ccap41
    Kind of along the same lines as @G. David Felt. Here in the midwest, I wouldn't surprise guests with something like that, as I feel that's not exactly good hosting either. If it's going to be something drastic, I think you should either ask guests ahead of time if it's something they'll try/eat or you should probably make a much safer backup dish if you're going to surprise the guests. In short: Ask ahead of time or prepare a backup, IMO.

    Their website states "... and Google built-in integration."
  24. ccap41
    Everything I've read says the Silverado EV does not have Android Auto/CarPlay. I haven't looked into the others.
  25. ccap41
    it would certainly force a lot of people into EVs. $1/gal in tax seems pretty insane. That's, what, 20-40%, depending on your state/area? That's pretty insane.
