The Care And Feeding Of Ponies

The Care And Feeding Of Ponies

This is a question that seems to come up on a fairly regular basis. Quicker steering box gear ratio of 16:1 instead of the standard 19.9:1. The manual steering cars will have the HCC-AX tag, and the power steering cars will have the HCC-AW tag. All power steering cars, not just the GTs, have the steering gear box tag of HCC-AW, so, on a power steering car, this tells you nothing. Rocker molding and quarter ornament delete. The GTs had the no rocker molding or quarter ornament because they had the GT stripes. No running pony on the fenders, or the small Mustang script. They had the GT fender badge and the Mustang script down lower in individual letters. The factory GTs, since they had the dual exhaust exiting through the rear valence, did not have the rear bumperettes, or any of the attaching brackets for those. They also have reinforcement plates inside the driver's side rear frame rails for the driver's side exhaust hangers, which a single exhaust car did not have. The only 65/66 Mustangs that came with the GT package were 'A' code or 'K' codes. There were no 6 cylinder cars or cars that came with a 2bbl carb that also came with the GT package. The GT package was not available for purchase until mid April of 65, and consequently, any car with a scheduled production date before February of 65 definitely did not come with the GT package. On a Metuchan built 65 Mustang, it would be difficult to argue that the production number was too low, because that plant started building Mustangs at about the same time that Ford started building Mustangs with the GT package. It was a little bit before, but not by much. Here is the address of that article by Mr. Schwartz that I mentioned, which has pictures and stuff.

That leaves AP, which Tesla does have a very good product. Tesla can't rest and continuing to introduce new models wont sustain them forever. They need to take care of current customers if they want to make it long term. First movers dont always survive. Lots of historical examples out there. Tesla is going to have to work extra hard to keep up, which includes fixing the horrendous customer service situation. As soon as folks have a choice they are going to choose other cars. OTA updates are not all that great since they can downgrade your car and to maintain your warranty you HAVE to update. Ask all the classic Model S owners how they feel about OTA updates today. Electrify America and EVGo are very quickly expanding their CCS 150kW network enough that I would be perfectly comfortable relying on it for my few road trips. That leaves AP, which Tesla does have a very good product.

Tesla can't rest and continuing to introduce new models wont sustain them forever. They need to take care of current customers if they want to make it long term. It is highly probable other manufacturers will also have teething issues with their early models. With Tesla, you are buying a product built with the knowledge they learned from their mistakes (early Model S batteries you are referring to). I personally wouldn鈥檛 buy any manufacturer鈥檚 first generation product. Regardless, this Ford entry will do a lot to convince their ICE lovers the virtues of electrification. This is assuming dealers will actually try to sell them. Given their reliance on service profits, I鈥檓 not convinced they will. Something else to consider. This is the first real attempt by Ford and first model year. In my experience we need to wait two years before the drivetrain is perfected now. So I wouldn't recommend anyone buy expecting reliability. That is for all brands and new drivetrains if you ask me. It's a real thing your the beta if you buy a first year model.

I've done it and regret it myself. Ford service may or may not be better depending on how many Ford's in the area the dealer services. My dad's newish explorer had no air-conditioning for a month. I have no brand loyalty. If Chevy comes out with an electric Camaro that does 0-60 in 3.2 and it's not a station wagon I am all over it. Save the cars don't buy a station wagon. Anyone know if this vehicle is ground up designed for electric or adapted from an existing product? Anyone know if this vehicle is ground up designed for electric or adapted from an existing product? Supposed to be ground up as an electric platform according to Ford. Not sure where the pack is at, may get more details on that tomorrow. First movers dont always survive. Lots of historical examples out there. The original Hydrox cookies are obscure, although I think they are still around in some form. The copycat Oreos are doing somewhat better. That said, it's hard for me to imagine Ford eclipsing Tesla with the Mustang Mach-E. I just hope it won't land with a complete thud.

I don't think it will, but my crystal ball has steered me wrong a few times. What's going to be much more interesting is the battle of pickup trucks. I didn鈥檛 realize the puck on the center screen in the leaked shot was actually a physical puck. Well. It's a hot looking car, and I'd definitely buy one if it had 6 seats (number 3 kid is on the way. It'd be a great commuter/friday night cruiser taking on high school kids haha. First real life photos of Mach-E Exterior and Interior! Exterior looks nice. Interior looks Meh. I think it would look better without the mustang hints. Take the logos off, get rid of the fake grill and change those tail lights to something like the ipace. Also everyone should stop trying to rebrand old car names as electric it doesn't let the electric models stand out. They should create an electric line of cars under one name with different models. To be clear, I'm talking about the exact car you are buying (not a demonstrator with the same options).
