No, just trying to derail another ridiculous thread.

Dang it...No, just trying to derail another ridiculous thread.
I installed a $50 auto-dimming mirror in my kid’s 2003 Escape - took 1.5 hours, including a trip to Lordco to buy an Add-a-fuse.? Youre driving at night, and suddenly some redneck in a jacked 2003 Silverado with aftermarket brights pulls up behind you. You are instantly blinded and have to pull a hand off the steering wheel to manually dim because the manufacturer didn’t spend $20 on the auto dimmer from China. Add rain in the middle of a turn, and a deer crossing the road. Add a wife in the passenger seat yapping about stuff. Add a 32 ounce Coke from McDonald’s about to tip over in the cup holder because it’s 32 fn ounces. Safety feature viability also factors in cost and auto dimming must be super cheap to manufacture. Auto dim is a no brainer under my calculations.
Unless that engine is off, you're an absolute madlad.Hopefully while parked.
just flip the mirror when it gets dark...I do it literally every morning before I pull out to work and flip it back when I park. It's not a chore and certainly not difficult. I trust myself more to do it than a part built in a Chinese sweatshop.? Youre driving at night, and suddenly some redneck in a jacked 2003 Silverado with aftermarket brights pulls up behind you.

You probably should go on. You didn't really list anything negative. There's a lot of content in those packages.So, I love the bronc and I’m super stoked, but since I’m obsessed, I can’t help but notice some stuff in B&P that’s a lil redic. Here are the main ones:
-It costs $8k to get auto climate
-wireless chargers cost $8 at Target yet cost $14k to add to a bronc
-same for garage door opener
-manual dim mirrors are dangerous
and because I don’t like to only neg, here are some features I really appreciate in order:
-general appearance incl removable top
-the suspension’s engineering looks stellar
-the modularity
-led headlights on base (for safety reasons)
-push to start on base (f keys)
-some bash plates on base
-intelligent access on mid
i could go on...
Yup; and we are all paying a minimum of $29k for pushbutton start.I was willing to hear you out and then you made this statement. Yes, you are paying $14k for a wireless charger. ?
Who the hell waits until they are blinded, before they dim their mirror? I mean, besides 'tards. This is why natural selection is our friend.I manually dim the rearview mirror BEFORE dark.
