Its more than just info in its database, as its searching the internet live. It often has to do with how you ask the question and how specific you are. By just asking it to look at the 2025 model specifically, it now restricts its search to current articles about 2025, and not previous...

Why? 2025 Santa Cruz is made in the US w/ 60% domestic parts, costs $26.9K w/ 18" alloy wheels, a 12" digital instrument cluster, 12" infotainment, rear armrest, 3.5K tow rating, self leveling suspension, and is similar to a XRT trim of the Maverick in many ways w/ its $33K price tag in Mexico...

If most of the repetitive jobs are done by robots, why would it be more expensive in Alabama than Mexico? The most desirable and aspirational jobs are also not repetitive work that can be accomplished easily by a machine, but the far better paying jobs of people that program and maintain and...

Ranger PHEV sounds expensive, regarding diesel, I'm surprised that's still popular in the EU as after being huge proponents for decades, they were vilifying diesel ever since dieselgate.

Biden kept the Trump tariffs in place during their administration, so its possible regardless of which party wins. I don't think its a matter of being fickle, but of simply leveraging the world's largest economy to achieve political goals, be it to discourage the outsourcing trend from large...

I don't think that was the plan, but rather to increase manufacturing capacity in US plants for the US market and redirect production for Mexico plants to other markets. It was also meant to add risk (which affects bottom line) to the trend of more and more manufacturing moving out of the US...

Bluetooth speaker? I could see a bunch of people using inexpensive noise cancelling headphones/buds with these. That said, rather than a phone mount, I could see people velcroing one of these android auto/carplay screens to the dash:

Pfft, people said the same thing about Aptera. People put their deposits down in July 2011, and we are told any day now it will be in production! Well, maybe not production, but final testing, maybe 2026? If not then, 2037 at the latest!

Last pic is my favorite, very nice!

Ah, thanks so reading more it appears that there's really no difference in performance, but its now direct and port injected, so should alleviate carbon buildup concerns as a benefit. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/maverick/2025/ Also apparently gets a 1mpg bump in highway fuel economy...

New? I thought its the same old Ecoboost albeit with a particulate filter. I wouldn't imagine most would notice a difference. They did autocross the Lobo though, and word is it handles quite well albeit I saw reviewers saying its quite a stiff ride. I'm a pamper princess and prefer a softer...

Seems consensus is that the suspension has been firmed up quite a bit.

For the tl;dw crowd, that video itself is a bit misleading. For the Ford Maverick A-Plan specifically, he warns only that previous promotional financing went away and high financing rates could eat up the savings. Nothing else is mentioned, so that's a bit anti-climactic. For the Mach-E...

Texas doc fee is capped at $225. They can go over, but they have to do all kinds of paperwork to explain why the state maximum is insufficient in the exception case with a breakdown of costs.

A shame its not legal to give people the help they want sometimes.

I addressed that already, but if you need repetition, any major changes to policies negatively impact the stock market as it harms investor confidence on where they can maximize their return. The effect has always been temporary, and its not hypothetical because this isn't the first time...

You said "everyone" and I questioned how "everyone" (in the automotive industry) would have to increase prices... how does that answer my question? And, as I said, if the prices are not increased on domestically made competitor trucks like the Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline, Hyundai Santa...

GM claimed it has excess manufacturing capacity, in fact, they announced this week they are increasing domestic truck production: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-increase-us-truck-production-following-trumps-tariffs-2025-04-03/ GM to increase truck production at Fort...

Oh, my bad, bummer! Ford needs more hybrids, and that is a major component. Anyone know if the planned retooling investment in Louisville is already done? I think Ford recognizes now that their EV ramp up plan is silly at this point. If not, I'd be looking to ramp that up ASAP if I were...

Yup, and more important than the Ecoboost IMO is that the hybrid engine is also made in the US. (edit: its made in mexico, doh) Its said that EV tax credits for manufacturers are going away soon, and that means that the only way you're going to get decent fleet fuel economy when you're Ford and...
