mattfl posted:I have not noticed any build quality issues so far. That’s good. I had myself all worked up about it before delivery, and all I saw in the first week or so was a coat hook that didn’t stay latched. When I got under the bright lights in the service center I thought the back door looked weirdly aligned, assumed it was the angle of the lights but mentioned it to the tech, and they got that looking perfect as well.

That's a 4.12, (3.8 with a 1ft roll) in the safe driving mode, not the track mode.

Apparently subaru dropped some teasers https://www.subaru.com/solterra-ev Aiming for mid-late 2022. Unsurprisingly it's looking similar to the toyota bz4x

mattfl posted:Tesla has the car buying process that everyone should strive towards Like three months ago they were double-charging people the full purchase price. Bitcoin. Rejection due to condition = back of the line. The list goes on. I totally get not wanting to deal with the standard dealership model, but Tesla certainly doesn't have the solution figured out. I am glad your experience was great...everyone I know with a Tesla has had a good experience but the hiccups are worth keeping an eye on. Edit: Looks great in that color, too.

Ya, there was definitely some kind of computer fuckery going on. Even if there was a 400 pounder in the drivers seat it should be trapping around 110.

According to him the mode he was is literally called Unbridled so if it has an additional speed limiter on it then just lol at the irony. And Unbridled should give the best 1/4 times from what I’ve read, the other mode (Unbridled Extended) is for twisty tracks, not drag strips, according to everything Ford has released about it. Of course we’d probably know more if there were any professional reviews to be had.

Are there really people that care about (as in: base their purchasing decision on) track times for some weird SUV thing? Seems unlikely and about as relevant as ID.4 GTX track times.

The Mach-E really is more of a slightly tall hatch. Sure the height is on the low end of CUVs but the ground clearance is less than some sedans and its due to the battery pack which is where a lot of the weight is, the center of gravity on the thing is probably better than some cars. As someone who was interested in the GT but is opposed to pre-ordering anything, let alone a $70k car, I also find the review embargo still being in place frustrating and feel like Ford has done this in the past at least with the Fusion Sport which ended up being a turd. The most frustrating thing is that it feels like for many lower volume sport trims on cars across the industry the only way to get your hands on one in a timely manner is through pre-ordering.

Unless we get differently shaped cells or figure out some packaging miracle we're gonna have mostly faux-crossover or low ground clearance vehicles. Speaking of fake, the render only company has a physical model at the Petersen Automotive Museum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGELzaE6ZTc It's still fake.

Maybe it accidentally shipped with the wrong software and the review embargo is there until Ford can push the right software to the press fleet.
