Someone once said that if you are now old and wise it means that sometime in the past you were young and stupid. ;)

I was also looking at the Bolt and thought OK I'll just decline the On-Star spyware; but there's a problem. " Note that for battery electric vehicles, even if you decline to enroll in OnStar, GM may still collect, use, or disclose certain data as described in the applicable Owner’s Manual and...

But the Ford would be overly complex, have mandatory over the air software 'updates' to brick the electronics and subscription services to make much of it work. And of course the recalls that Ford are famous for. https://www.cars.com/research/ford-mustang_mach_e/recalls/ All the things we won't...

I persuaded the wife to stop driving when she started to park using sound as an indicator of how close she was to other cars. ;)

As you may know I'm trying to get the law in New Mexico regarding franchised dealerships changed as it is both unconstitutional and illegal; https://law.justia.com/constitution/new-mexico/article-iv/section-38/ https://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/chapter-57/article-1/section-57-1-2/ So I...

Fortunately no, or she would have bought more due to girl math. :headbang: https://networkcultures.org/longform/2025/11/20/girl-math-fundamentals-proof-by-subversion/

The wife questioned why I needed to buy another shotgun when I already had 2. I countered by asking her why she needed to buy yet another pair of shoes when she has a closet full of them. She did'nt speak to me for nearly a week; it was wonderful. ;)

I'm British by birth and worked for the local police department here in New Mexico. One of the commanders kept criticizing the way I spelt some words, so just for a laugh I had all the spellcheckers autocorrect change color and tire to the correct spelling of colour and tyre. Cost me a days...

She's not the only one leaving Lucid. https://eletric-vehicles.com/lucid/lucid-growth-marketing-head-departs-months-before-cosmos-launch/

I can see an increase in the sales of duct tape. Standard way of fixing check engine lights was to just cover it with tape, same for laptop cameras. :cool:

Why do you need a head of sales? There's already a long line of eager buyers all they need to do is make the damn things so they can be sold.

Maybe they want everyone to believe that the new Ford will be built to the same standard and be as reliable as the watch. :CWL:

You are correct. I saw your posting #73 of this thread, and my befuddled brain saw the picture as a door mirror. My apologies.

Which are not, "Made in the USA" but "Assembled in the USA from foreign sourced parts" I hope I'm wrong and Slate can use the "Made in the USA" logo.

My concern is that when they do announce the price, and will be a best guess, nothing definitive, if some will say "Not worth it" and cancel their order. I'm on the fence there myself.

So endless recalls and everything on a subscription, oh and add Ford quality, or rather lack of and it will finish Slate before it starts. FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily remember.
