This is the end result of a $10k market adjustment

Tesla is cheaper than it once was

The original base xl price was $19,500? what is it now ?

Wasn’t that “author” just an poster here? I’ve honestly been waiting for Ford to do the “Sorry the Maverick program is canceled due to no demand “ It’s happened before in these same circumstances, but in this internet age hopefully we can hold them accountable to keep a popular vehicle in...

Ford jacks up the hybrid base price a little more each year, when it hits $35,000 they will probably be willing to produce more. sad but unfortunately true

can you? The guy said hybrids are EVs. Luddites in local government also don’t understand how hybrids work and try to tax them off the road for similar reasons. They grouped non-plug in cars into the same category as plug ins with the same tax structure as they are totally the same thing to...

This must be the guy that decided to add the egregious hybrid fees to license and registration because a hybrid totally doesn’t get all its power from gasoline

Do you measure your gas fuel economy based on the efficiency of the refinery producing your gasoline? Electric cars use 75-96% of the power fed into them, most gas cars are lucky to get 25% due to idling, low speeds (oversized engines are very inefficient operating slowly) and other losses...

That data is mirroring a mainly a Euro centric problem. Back in ye olde times there were folks that tracked the fleet of volts energy use (the volt used to give statistics back to big brother that an open source website let you search and make into metrics) The “people” who didn’t plug in...

Batteries get cheaper, more power dense and lighter everyday. A modern battery that is the weight of the original Prius hybrid battery holds about 16kwhr of energy. PHEVs that aren’t similar in efficiency to the hybrid version are examples of bad design. That same article was ran with...

yeah doesn’t work that way, there is a conflation of different cell types in that metric. if your going raw materials a Bev battery is $116 kwhr (with overseas LifePO4 half that already) “power” batteries cost much more per kwhr and the controls and wiring is similar between the 2. Armor and...

Toyota does not want to produce plug ins, so they aren’t a good example considering they only make a few thousand a year for carb Batteries get cheaper, more power dense and lighter everyday. A modern battery that is the weight of the original Prius hybrid battery holds about 16kwhr of...

Batteries have come down so much in price that the cost difference between a hybrid battery and a smaller PHEV battery is only a few hundred dollars. A hybrid already has 99% of the parts to be a PHEV, companies that really jack up the PHEV price either are doing a cash grab or are sticking in...

Even a PHEV Maverick is unlikely, but also a huge mistake by Ford. I would take a 40mpg PHEV Maverick any day over a lightning

They missed the mark not producing a PHEV Maverick, would have been much less of a boondoggle than the lightning. even as a carb offering it would still at least be something available in the used market to all 50 states

The auto market is rapidly changing away from that, especially on anything not a beater. The high end is basically frozen but dealers aren’t lowering prices despite auction values being cut in half or more (in certain cases) The net effect is lots of no sales with a small handful of higher...

$20k used truck $15k in repairs. If it were a body on frame I would offer $12 and put on a new bed If it were $8 I would leave it bentish and install a bumper , align and drive it in ass condition My guess is they figure a sucker will buy it to drive in as is condition, god knows most of the...

No it cant, certainly not for the $4000 more it costs to get a Maverick in good condition Bent unibodies at best will get pulled out to straighten, missing things like lights and bumper replaced, bondo paint and drive it as a blem. it’s totalled for a reason, just because it might run and...

Gotta wonder why anyone would buy this https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/cfbf7e7e-cf95-46c7-8188-a6e1d95f2b74/

You already have that if you use solar on grid.
