That thing must get mad MPGs, and all in reverse too. That must mean its not using gas since it runs electric in reverse.

Are those stock or takeoffs? Love the stealth paint job

I guess the tire production and sourcing lead didn't get the memo on the invisibility requirement for production! Or did you decide to skip the invisible tires so that you could get your hybrid through build completed? Love the custom look either way. Or maybe this is a safety feature like the sounds toyota adds to some hybrids for the hearing impaired.

You can see them because they are actually aftermarket tires. They are the Michelin FRT-12 Frictionless ultra roll carbon fiber radials. They are designed for PHEV but the guy at discount tires put them on backwards so they would work with a hybrid.

So I'm now up to 150 miles (still all in reverse) and the crazy things is my fuel gauge has gone from 1/4 tank up to nearly 1/2. Pretty sure i can get it to full by the weekend.

LMAO! All you folks just crack me up.

It can be frustrating waiting for our Hybrids, but threads like this almost make it worthwhile...almost.

I can't wait to drive all over town just using reverse and watch my fuel gauge go up.

Thats amazing, ford must have gone the extra mile and put that carbon recapture tech Musk was going on about in our hybrids. Now we will be able to gas up our other cars using our hybrid!

So driving to work this morning I heard the tapping/clicking sound that others have reported. Thanks to my 47 years of coast guard service i was I was able to immediately identify it as morse code. It is just the following letters over and over. I'm still trying to find the source and will update if i find it.

"R E D R U M R E D R U M"

...or at least the idea of it. Really just waiting for any email from Ford with a status.

Looks like you are "tired" of waiting!

LOL you had me going there, was about to congratulate you grudgingly but, in the same boat as me.

Is this the new subscription Maverick, where the only thing included in the MSRP are the tires, and the rest of the truck appears once you make the monthly payment?

 

[Liveaboard]

Have you considered selling? I'm interested. I'll take the tire delete and you can just email it to me. Price?

LOL... I'm so sending this to my dealer!
