    He does exist and came through for me ALL THE WAY -- 2021 Badlands 4-door. Loving it.
  4. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    And this summary validates that disruption always comes from outside the status quo. The reason that ICE manufacturers are scrambling is because they missed seeing the S-Curve years ago. Tesla, and The-Chinese-Are-Coming (think Japan in years past) are years ahead and hitting the ramp of the...
  5. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    No question that trucking has absolutely demonstrated the longevity of the diesels in that platform. The disruptor in that space is total cost of ownership. The electric versions are penciling out so well that the shift will happening. Battery supply is limiting this at present. Cost of...
  6. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    a production daily driver doing those times is not really apples to apples comparison, nor the point of it. And yes I enjoy NHRA and have been plenty. Pro stock is my fav. The torq curve of electric and linear acceleration is ridiculous. it is possible your understanding of the battery life is...
  7. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    Certainly the irony is not missed. My admiration of Tesla EV is way more to do with the advancement of the vehicle in more ways than can be easily listed. Just read that a model s plain nailed a 8.9 quarter mile. Fastest production car ever. Kicks the crap out of my 66 shelby cobra replica...

    true. one of the many reasons that Lithium iron phosphate is going to be the most common chemistry. Cobalt and nickle will be for the highest density needs. sourcing materials for lfp wont be an issue and way cheaper.
  9. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    I've seen backing for hydrogen from some reliable experts but targeted at the long haul trucking segment. I'm not sold on the auto markets segment. I would suggest looking into companies like redwood industries. They, and others, are in the battery recycling business. turns out that most...
  10. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    yep. not everyone will have the best (for them) options. And yes, it is a new technology and lessons will be learned. I will say that Tesla has more experience (data) than many and the number of miles they are racking up is feeding right back into the engineering teams. And for what it is...
  11. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    Ah, I see your point and the grid is a whole discuss in and of itself. Very relevant in this discussion and could certainly constrain adoption in areas. One aspect of charging that is helpful is the off peak loading. I would think that most of the sizing to based upon the peak consumption...

    I guess the point isn't that ALL apartment complex's will handle it. Maybe it starts with newer apartments. Maybe a huge part of the adoption curve are home owners or those renting houses. Most measurements are around the number of "new" vehicle purchases and the percentage of the overall...
  13. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    Absolutely agree that choice is the key (without coercion by govt.). That said, the price curve of batteries and EVs is real. The Total Cost of Ownership is real as is shown by maintenance and fuel costs too. Latest I'm hearing about battery lifetime expectation is pushing toward 1Million...
  14. Ford CEO Jim Farley Confirms ICE Future for the Bronco and Mustang

    Very fair point and not clear when it will be an advantage for an apartment to offer this. There are reserved parking spots and maybe some apartment complex will start offering some as an add on with charging for a price. People won't miss spending their time and money going to gas stations...
  15. Cybertruck video from inside Giga Texas, production now 2023

    very true. I do see that so many EVs are still living within the constraints of the old ICE platform. Second and third generation EVs will push right past this. I think the CT is shedding a bunch of the constraints. Time will tell. And, hey, Elon is thinking quite a few moves in the future and...

    Or it provides more capabilities to do the jobs you need done. Survey of construction works by one analyst yield overwhelming choice for the CT versus F150 lighting and others. Suburban owners might prefer beauty queens (eye of the beholder)
  17. Cybertruck video from inside Giga Texas, production now 2023

    Lol. No Beaty contest wins in the future. That said, the edgy design, literally and figuratively, has a cool factor. I’ve an order in and more jazzed about what it will be able to do.
  18. Cybertruck video from inside Giga Texas, production now 2023

    very divisive design for sure. With 1.3 million back orders it is fair to recognize that it has market appeal. Delaying a new innovation to ensure it is ready is appreciated. Additionally, with constrained battery and chip supplies it makes sense place priority on model Y and model 3 this...
  19. TX Off-Roadeo is Awesome

    We stayed in Marble Falls and drove straight to the Off-Rodeo site. Easy and they have parking. Get there 15 minutes early as is expressed in the invite.
  20. Bronco Off-Rodeo Experience @ Austin

    Hi Fellow Northwesterners, I wanted to share out that my wife and I attended the Off-Rodea site in Austin last weekend. The choice of Austin was for other needs to be there. Before the event my wife had quite a few concerns and reservations about taking our Bronco off road and experiencing...
