    Personally, I think it is a combination of inflation with interest rates and banks willing to give large sums of money to nearly everybody. "for only $72 more a month(for 96 months) you can step up to the Lariat F150 with massaging seats and panoramic moonroof" Sub 40 degree temps REALLY put a dent into range though. Something with a factory rating of 300 miles absolutely will not anywhere near 300 miles in the cold. A 30% range loss in really cold temperatures is not uncommon.

    Do some pumps pump at(hypothetical numbers here) 100 gallons per minutes, 30 gallons per minute, 85 gallons per minute, and 15 gallons per minute? Apparently you having entire gas stations out of service is not "far ahead" of the rest of the country considering I have never stumbled upon such a scenario.
  3. ccap41
    That's not a comparable situation because 1. the entire station is out of order and 2. you would see this on your app if this was a charging station so you wouldn't be wasting your time hopping from charger to charger trying to find a working one. The issue is the user doesn't know the station doesn't have 100% working chargers until you try them out.

    When was the last time you went to a gas station and half of the pumps just didn't work? I've never encountered this in my life, yet.
  5. ccap41
    Well they need to sort this issue out because it is far from the first time I've read stations not charging anywhere near their stated rate AND having multiple plugs "out of order". It would be infuriating if you're taking a road trip and you think you can stop for 45 minutes for a quick charge and are stuck for 2-3 hours.
  6. ccap41
    To go with those issues, they had a heck of a time both finding a charger that is working AND getting charged at a decent rate. Yes, the chargers are "rated" for 150 and 250kwh but neither were charging anywhere close to that.

    That is so disappointing that you put the factory exhaust back on the car...

    CUE has been pretty trashy the entire time it's been around. It's probably much improved over the first two generations but as far as I can see, they're on 3.0 that was launched in 2017. They've probably moved on to a different acrynom as I don't see "CUE" on their website. You must not have owned a German car.

    Cadillac also didn't even offer curve illumination so if you just look at the standard assembly, they're only $280, which seems reasonable or just a realistic price for an entire OEM headlight assembly, imo. Xenon are HID and, in fact, a slightly better HID.
  11. ccap41
    Oh I completely agree. I didn't bring it up though.
  12. ccap41
    Did you forget about CUE? Same generation compared to your Escalade(I looked up a 2007 GL450), OE part, NOT $1500, even the curve illumination ones.
  13. ccap41
    Did you forget CUE was/is a thing?

    Interesting how in two nearly consecutive posts you can feel the brand bias. Cadillac = Luxurious! Mercedes = Worried about cost repairs

    You know very little will, just like all of the other riots in the last few years... unfortunately.

    At least we've all grown up here, right?

    That's just amazing...

    Haha I don't think I've had a vehicle with a full size spare, only donuts for me! I'd still take a donut every single day over a can of "fix-a-flat" and an air pump. I can buy and store those in my vehicle if I want, I can't just buy and store a spare wheel/tire unless the vehicle had a space designed to store it.
  20. ccap41
    100% agree. I'm very fortunate that if I did get a flat, I have an actual spare to put on for the time being. I also check the pressure once a year because those lose air as well and most forget about it. You'd be surprised how often somebody gets a flat and go to put on their spare and it's flat as well but it's a negligence issue, not the tire blowing out.
  21. ccap41
    Makes since why there's more volume, when there's no spare tire/jack to account for,
  22. ccap41
    That stuff doesn't take up nearly the space a spare wheel with a jack take up. Nowhere close.
  23. ccap41
    The Escape has a spare tire and the Mach-E does not. That's not an EV advantage, that's just the lack of a spare tire.
  24. ccap41
    Like, say, the millions of people living in densely populated cities that have to use public charging or even if their parking complex has chargers, you'd be on some rotation or hope you get an open one when you need juice.
  25. ccap41
    Supposedly, so we hear from our resident EV pusher, they're so much cheaper and simpler to produce as they're so much simpler. I'd be curious to know what features each one does or doesn't have at those prices.
