Well, first off you're comparing apples to oranges in the style of the car.
Second, I consistently got over 45 in the city and really closer to 50 mpg in my kia niro. I don't understand how you don't get better in the city. The gas engine is hardly ever running on my hybrid in the city - which...
I'm not sure where you live but in South Florida (Miami area) my lifetime average speed in my Kia Niro over 8,000 + miles was 21 MPH and my lifetime MPG was just under 48. Tracked and hand calculated using Fuelly app on my phone. To go 50 miles here in the city would take you anywhere from 2 - 4...
Have you ever owned a hybrid? I had a kia niro and on the highway I barely got 35-40 especially at 80 mph. At 65 mph it was okay more like 38, but still not great. However, in the city, driving softly, I would get 45-55 depending on how many times I punched the gas to get around someone. So...
We have plenty of gas here in south Florida, but boats are 2-3x the price they were pre-March 2020. Boat dealers are 12-60 MONTHS out on delivery. Think about that, 60 MONTHS! That's usually the loan term length for a financed boat!
He says at the 59:20 mark 20-30% of the 100k orders are converted. 100,000 X (.2 or .3) = 20,000 to 30,000 orders.
What is "normal?" We live in a world right now that you can't even find a pipe fitting at the local home depot. Supply chains are broken, in shambles. This is normal.
Just sayin that of the 100k reservations only 20-30% of them have been converted into actual orders - according to Tim. So, 10k built this year is nearly half of the orders.
And yes, the press releases are all about hype - it's marketing! I myself have like 7-10 reservations for different...
They do and they're pretty great too! I had a Kia Niro 2017 touring, which was absolutely phenomenal. I just sold it today but it was my favorite car. I hope the maverick can match it in driving and functionality. I towed a 1,500lb boat with that Niro :sneaky:
Oh, they also come with 100k mile...
Production wasn't even supposed to start until next week. Dealers will not have them on lots because FORD is allocating them to retail orders. There are more than expected. If you think this is bad, go try to buy a graphics card for a computer. There are no waiting lists and bots buy up the...
He said that there are FAR less than 100,000 orders. That is the number of RESERVATIONS. He said it's between 20-30,000 converted into orders. Spreading hysteria before getting all the information is never helpful. Then again, what is social media for but that...
