So, if we put my old Cyber Orange Maverick between a purely orange and purely yellow vehicle, this is what we get. I'd say that's closer to yellow than orange, but I can see someone saying the opposite too. Clearly it's not yellow, and it's not orange. I suppose yellow/orange is in the eye of...

If that's not the same color, it's only off by 1 shade of yellow. 🤣 I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing, because those 2 vehicles are nearly identical in color. Why can't Ford simply produce an ORANGE vehicle like Toyota and Porche did? Now THAT is orange!!!

Maybe someone already said this, but doesn't Orange Fury = Cyber Orange = School Bus Yellow/Orange? Below is an Orange Fury Mustang next to a Cyber Orange Maverick next to a school bus. Fool me once Ford, shame on you. You're not fooling me again.

I had 42k miles on my '22 Maverick and not one problem. I've got 11k miles on my '25 Maverick and no problems on it either.

Dude, this looks like something Master Chief would drive in Halo. Just sayin'...

Maybe the key is to trade it in every 3-5 years. Then you don't have to deal with the crappy years. As a "less than a year old SUV", it drives very well. I guess time will tell how it holds up.

When my daughter was test driving (and ultimately buying) a Hyundai Kona, I decided to test drive the Santa Cruz. It felt like it had the engine of a 1979 Toyota Corolla (which I did own once upon a time). It constantly felt like it was revving the engine too high. Plus it wasn't that...

My bad. Sometimes humor and/or sarcasm don't translate as well to the internet as one might hope. This may have been one of those times. ;) Clearly the humor went over my head even though I'm one of your generation...I think. I was born in the '60s.

You could always schedule it to start 5 minutes before work ends. Then it wouldn't require a signal. Just a suggestion in case you hadn't thought of it.

Of course I COULD suck it up. My first car was a '79 Corolla with vinyl seats, crank windows, & no AC. My 2nd car was a Dodge Daytona with T-tops and a broken AC for 6 years. You think no AC is bad in SC? Try having no AC and glass T-tops...they let the sun in!! The question isn't "CAN I...

Yes! This is one of the most useful features added since AC was added to vehicles!!! Heated steering wheels. Heated seats. Remote start. It's amazing what a pansy modern amenities are turning me into. :)

I know it's no: going to the library and reading the periodicals, or checking out a book describing the US grid & it's demand (written 10 years ago), or going to the US Energy Department's website on electricity demand, but I hear this AI thing might be pretty useful. But seriously, I read an...

I appreciate you correcting my memory (seriously) and making the point that the California grid is dangerously close to capacity. Yeah, it took an "unprecedented" heat wave, but what if they become more common? When I said, "It's a fact", I was referring to my comment, "...and there's going to...

The same principle is true of flying. It's the safest way to travel ... until it isn't. And then it's incredibly deadly. To the best of my knowledge, in 50 years there's only been 2 nuclear power plant problems: Three Mile Island & Chernobyl. Three Mile Island wasn't catastrophic...

Does it tell you what seat is causing it? Sometimes when someone puts something heavy in the center of the back seat of my Maverick, it triggers the seat belt warning indicator to go off until it gets moved or someone buckles the back middle seat belt...even though no one is actually sitting...

It's a fact. And there are a couple of decent sized differences between adding cell towers and power plants. 1) No one wants a power plant in their backyard (ie in their area) especially if it's nuclear (which is the most efficient, clean source of power there is). 2) Cell phones in 2004...

I just invested in a company called Tecogen (Ticker symbol TGEN) who provides a portable supply of electricity. It's essentially an industrial sized generator that runs on natural gas and creates electricity for a business building (like a data center, production warehouse, or whatever). They...

You mean only having a couple of humans working in a factory with all robots? It's good for business, but bad for labor. That might be the next truly big problem we have to solve. If robots are so good they can reduce the work force by 50%-80%, how will all the unemployed folks survive?

Are they turning the Maverick into a mid-size? Is that the speculation, or is the speculation that they're creating another truck that will be a mid-size? The Maverick does NOT need to be any bigger!!!

I only skimmed the comments after page 1, so if this has already been mentioned, my apologies. Here's the great big problem with PHEVs and EVs: the Grid. The grid doesn't produce enough electricity to support a bunch of EVs. If I remember correctly, California forbid their EV owners from...
