This has been common practice for as long as I can remember. I know specifically from as far back as 2008. I was searching online for an 'in high demand' Toyota Prius, and many dealers listed them, but no dealers had them. But man, they were all over, "We have Corollas that get great gas...

Every 10k miles. Just like if you drive on highways. Still every 10k. Any smaller number is a taxable donation to whoever owns the brand of oil you purchased.

I would agree if we didn't have family kids/dogs who could get knocked out if they're in the wrong spot when the gate slams down. Easy for us to remember, but maybe hard for someone else.

My impression is that 90% or more of people who order hybrids actually want a hybrid truck, not some underpowered something else. It was always about the gas mileage and the environmental impact. The price was secondary.

But don't you already pay for insurance, maintenance, tax, tag, registration in whatever you drive now? Wouldn't you just factor in the difference in gas mileage and updated insurance premium?

I'm indifferent to the dial shifter. I've driven a lot of vehicles with various shifters, and really, they pretty much all do the same thing. I use a shifter to put my car in reverse to back out of my driveway. Then I shift into drive. Then I just live my life until I get to my destination, at...

Okay. Show us the data. Auto insurance companies all over the world would like to see it.

Short answer: No. Hybrids have been around a long long time. If there was an 'increased risk' of fire, hybrids would have disappeared in a blaze of personal injury lawsuits years ago.

I think hybrids fill a niche which EV's won't replace anytime soon. Even though the technology and builds for EV's become more and more mainstream, people who live in rental units without charging stations and people who commute to jobs (or adventures) where charging stations are limited or...

How would he cancel? Ford doesn't cancel confirmed orders. He can release his truck for his dealer to sell to someone else (for more money), or he can buy it. My question was if his truck doesn't come in by his self-imposed deadline, what other new vehicle is he going to replace it with?

Pretty much exactly what happened with the one I ordered which was delivered to New Bern. I released it back to the dealer because my husband's first edition was built and awaiting shipment. His truck is rambling around the middle states, but could show up here soon(?).

My point is that the term you used 'blowing out of the water' or whatever you said, isn't what happens to interest rates. You seemed like you had some inside knowledge that lead you to make that pronouncement. So what was it? And how big a jump are you expecting?

Stop it.

WTH, y'all? Do you see what you're saying here?

Just curious what 'blow these rates out of the water' means in real numbers. Are you saying that auto loan interest rates will jump by 100% from .9% to 1.8%? Or are you saying 1000%? And where are you getting your intel?

I also have an S21. Since my current 2017 Prius charges it super fast (USB A to USB C), I fully expect the Maverick USB C to USB C to be more than sufficient for our phones.

There are posts under the hood for jump starting the battery. I don't have the owner's manual close by, but I think it's listed under 'battery' in the index.

Hybrid? I seem to remember something in the owner's manual about waiting a few seconds after opening the fuel door before pumping gas. Don't have our truck yet, but check your owner's manual if you have a hybrid. And send that dm to Ford.

Ford says change your synthetic oil every 10k miles. If the manufacturer advises that, and the mechanics suggest that, and there's literally no evidence that it extends the life of modern vehicles, I would feel really ridiculous changing it more often.

There was plenty of room in the subject line to say what you hate. Did you just get too mad to finish the sentence? Or was it so that random members like me will click on your thread even though we don't hate that? To be fair, you aren't the only person who does this.
