For those of us ordering a custom built Mav it doesn't make any sense to have markup. I can't fathom "respecting" them trying to maximize profits by doing no work and double billing for included items. I would order it directly from Ford if I was able, but that would be too easy, and I think the...

So my dealer did not ask for any documents. I feel like I have to assume that they didn't actually put the order in at this point, and my Hybrid dreams are gone until next model year. What should I ask them for to get confirmation that the order went through? I keep asking for screenshots but...

I'm in a similar boat (buying, not leasing), but I don't have anything signed by the dealership, they just say that my order went through. What should I ask for (and how) to make sure I'm not OOP for a huge markup at delivery?

Technically if they never give out a hard date for when EPA estimates would be out, they're not "delayed" and that's all we'll get out of that. Internally they could have expected the EPA numbers released by the time the non-standard EB is delivered, but externally they could never reference...

Then why oh why do you keep pointing out how bad credit, auto-payments, and loans are without that caveat? Without the asterisk on your comments, someone might misconstrue it as sound financial advice from someone with authority because you're clearly doing well. I'm still trying to convince one...

This is very bad advice because we live in a capitalist nightmare that has very strict rules and regulations, and every company who deals with high value costs uses the credit score system to verify your creditworthiness and can decide not to give you any other type of loan, even renting. Sure...

You're not intended to make money on savings accounts, and just like the stock market it can go to 0.1% like it was a few years ago. The financially unaware (a separate entity from the retirees claiming cash is king) are the ones using cash to buy hugely expensive "assets" that depreciate...

I don't have FordPass connected to my Alexa (as I don't have a Ford yet), but depending on the types of integrations FordPass supports, you might be able to do it with Alexa routines, or if you're really intrepid you could set up HomeAssistant and do it that way (but it's way more prone to...

I'm absolutely an advocate for voice commands for exactly those reasons, but I'm just trying to say that it's not lazier than pushing a button. Making your own life easier should never be looked down on :)

Voice commands are not less lazy than a key fob 🤣 I would much rather press a button on my phone/fob to start my car than use my vocal chords to tell a device to do something that it might mishear (or miss completely), and then I have to tell it to shutup so I can enunciate more of the words...

So even those with scheduled dates are now being pushed back :( So yeah, sounds like Ford doesn't want to be upfront on the delay. Though I do wish the gentle teasing about the ones who have build dates would be less frequent, I want to know Hybriders have build dates more than I want to keep...

Given that this is a poll and only 25% responded with giving up within the next 3 months, and 35% responded they'd "Never give up", I don't think "instant gratification" is applicable here...

Seeing the PR spokesperson 'reaffirming' that the Hybrid's scheduling is affected and not production seems to prove their fundamental misreading of the situation; that Hybriders are concerned that scheduled trucks will suddenly not get built, instead of the truth that Hybriders are concerned...

I'll add on to the patience advocation! The Maverick has only been officially announced since June, which is crazy to me that its only been 3 months since I even knew about it. Before this truck, I had almost bought a Jeep Gladiator, until I saw how gigantic it was in person (and it's only an...

You have to remember that each corporation has a completely different implementation of their ADAS features, and they do improve incrementally throughout model years. Some are sub-par compared to more safety oriented corporations like Volvo and Subaru. Whenever I pass someone I check to see if...

It was a requirement for me that my new car would have adaptive cruise control, and that its implementation wasn't terrible. I rented a Nissan Armada to drive from Florida to North Carolina and it had the worst version of any ADAS features I've encountered. It just feels wrong. Most recently I...
