Do you ever wonder why we’re here?

RE: the VinFast, there WAS a dealership about 5 miles from my house. It’s now a Service Department only. Apart from a failed 12-Volt, it has given us 30 months and 25,000 miles of issue-free, maintenance-free service. Lease ends on 1/31 which is why I only moved my SLATE delivery date request to...

Some earn a nickname, some don’t. If I say “take Vinny” they know to take the VinFast. “Shitbox” refers to the ION Redline. I’m feeling the SLATE’s nickname will likely be “stumpy”.

The one time I didn’t preview before posting. 🤣 For those that caught a glimpse before I edited, you saw pics of my 8 year old GE dishwasher needing repairs for a THIRD time. 🙂

Nissan LEAF pickup conversion? Looks like it’s been done before. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1094509_worlds-first-nissan-leaf-electric-pickup-truck-for-shop-use-only

Now I’m waiting for someone to make a “10 and 2” joke…

This question is coming from the “on the spectrum” side of me. Has anyone noticed a “standard” position of the window cranks when rolled up? My last crank window vehicle was my 1998 Ranger. And it bothered me that, when the windows were rolled up, the passenger side and driver side had the...

IIRC, I ordered my Mach E from the dealership in December 2019. I was still awaiting delivery in the Spring of 2021 when a shinier object caught my attention and I purchased it. Because it was a factory order from me, the dealer still alerted me when it arrived in July 2021. At that time, they...

Correct. In the Reddit AMA, they said there will be a 400 Watt inverter option. I believe this would run off the 12 Volt and not the High Voltage battery (but the HV battery would “tend” the 12 Volt while the inverter is in use).

Lived in South Bend 1969-1992 but I still have family that live there that I visit 2-3 times/year.

Can this question be a Poll? For me, as others have said, I need to have done a test drive in various environments before final payment and acceptance.

My GF’s Prologue has infamously bad cupholders where a cottage industry of 3D printer folks made fixes. She’s now happy with them post-mod.

One of the reviews mentioned the headliner matching Hollywood’s merkin. Besides me, how many folks googled “merkin”? I already had concerns about the headliner BEFORE that review. 🤣🤣🤣

My friends called it “baby shit brown”.

My two Fords have been a new 1998 Ford Ranger and a new 2022 Ford Mach E. Both were great cars. My first BEV was a 2021 base RWD Taycan (which I sold after a year of ownership for $15K more than I paid because of crazy COVID times). Anyway I thought my next BEV after the Taycan was going to be...
