This is research lol. Go watch some Serpentza or China Insider. 7 BYD fires a day, and thats the low estimate. Hard to get info when the Chinese govt literally arrests people for posting anything against their EVs. A whole ship just burned off thr coast of Alaska due to Chinese built EVs.

China is wherever the bottom is. I'd assume in terms of EVs its Europe > US > Korea > Japan

He lost me at the "China leads the way with EVs" it wasnt even worth replying to. China leads the way at lying and paying influencers and media. You can find a myriad of bipartisan sources discussing this. Same as they bring over influences to show off all of their "high tech" They are rhe most...

If only you understood lol.

Discussion was about the 90s and 2000s trucks the Slate is designed to emulate. I get that you have no intention of having an actual discussion and just want to defend the Slate at all costs, but I assumed that there wasnt pedantic behavior here and that a generalization could be made seeing...

Pushrod until '01. Pushrod 4.0 and its base architecture existed for far longer than the SOHC did

And these observed opinions are still inaccurate lol, also the AI was unable to differentiate between the versions of the 4.0. Again, I get you're a tech guy and you love this type of stuff, but don't be an AI person. There are entire youtube series dedicated to making fun of people who listen...

AI is notoriously inaccurate in almost all regards and has told people to do everything from shoving pennies into sockets to using glue to thicken pizza sauce. It is often horrendous at providing context or using reason It is not and should never be used as a valid source for anything but the...

* AI generated answer * kind of disqualifies the entire thing. The early 4.0s are super sought after, in 2001 they swapped over the the overhead cam ones and they went to shit. Same applies to the explorer. AI is useless for most things, but it is particularly useless for cars and mechanical...

I really do think $25k will be the make or break

A handful of Chinese plastic components in a ~15 year old domestic vs the motor unit from the motor supplier of a company that has had thousands upon thousands of fires and deaths per year and is actively covered up by rhe Chinese government as part of a $20B propaganda campaign. Very similar

Most transmissions are not made in china nor are their materials. ECUs and sensors will vary but the plastics are sadly often from there. Im really not sure why pointing out that Chinese shit is low quality upsets so many.

The *non OHC* 4.0 is the most reliable. The later OHC version of the 4.0 is at the bottom of the list for it, surpassed by the available 4 cyls and 3.0V6. The OHC version of the 4.0 was among the worst engines ford made in the 2000s, alongside those junk Jaguar V8s found in the LS and Tbird, and...

Nice propaganda lol. Same format as the thousands and thousands and thousands of other comments that say the exact same thing across all social media. I've got oceanside property for sale in Nebraska btw

Oh, they are. Well, thats the end of my pre-order. Unless they are made jointly with Allison. I don't trust anything made in China to get me down the road, let alone put my family in

Are those motors Chinese? Thought I saw something about JJE

The 4.0 OHC is awful, but people also avoid that thing like the plague when buying Rangers and explorers. They tend to aim for the other engine options. Electric cars need transmission fluid/gear oil as well in many cases In regards to the $30k civic - the issue is there's a difference...

SUV conversion....costs as much as a used SUV lol. But I do agree its a cool feature. Whatever you just came up with for value doesnt quite make sense, seeing as values for many things rn, especially cars, are heavily inflated, and often influenced by meaningless hype or popularity. Peep the...

The Slate would have less range than most similar trucks and 1500s, and therefore you'd simply be stopping at the charger instead of the pump lol

Slate is cool looking but the drive train is definitely a turn off, if not a compromise. Im one of those that believes the future is mixed market, as both ICE and electric vehicles have their limits. Imo the slate is what electric cars should be - simply useful runabouts with the potential for...
