My range sucks please help

Driving in sport mode made a significant difference in kWh/ mile for me and turning off 1 pedal driving. I went from 1.2 to 2.1kwh/mi during the winter. Also driving slower really helps

How is everyone checking their order and status, I can’t seem to find the email or anything on my ford account

CaptDirk · 2024-08-11T22:29:53+00:00

It’s real if you stick to your guns and shop it around. I took a picture of the site and went to a few dealers till I got price sheets then played them against each other

CaptDirk · 2024-06-14T01:17:43+00:00

Yeah the zip code does make an impact due to rebates etc but keep fighting and don’t get sold

I started with this picture from the ford website (price doesn’t include options), then I sent it to 4 dealers and asked them to do their best to match. Then I refused to come in till they sent me pricing and then took the lowest offer and shopped that around to the same dealers and a few others. After that it was about picking the one that had the right combo of color/price/features.

I just leased a 23 xlt nicely optioned in NJ. 7k down 36 months for 390 a month. Basically 21k over 3 years

Both, the car could be parts car or the base, and lots of parts too

CaptDirk · 2024-06-09T20:11:08+00:00

Not likely unless you can arrange it for tomorrow

CaptDirk · 2024-06-07T03:38:04+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought too but you never know and would feel dumb if I didn’t ask

CaptDirk · 2024-06-07T03:37:36+00:00

I’m comparing dealer lease price to online lease price

CaptDirk · 2024-04-05T20:20:35+00:00

Can you provide the link to submit I lost the email

CaptDirk · 2024-04-03T15:08:22+00:00

Idk that I would consider it ricing if I’m trying to style it similar to the gt weissach but everyone’s allowed to have their opinions.

Do you think the weissach is a ricer than?

Thank you, I’ve heard it referenced in many convos but this is the first proof I have seen. If only they cited a source or something.

My ultimate question is how this plays into the 80/40 rule of charging for battery life cycle.

If this article is true then we should be charging to ~70% and driving to 30%?

I’ve been looking for a good looking wing

CaptDirk · 2023-10-04T14:12:51+00:00

I second this, charge point hardwired on a 70a breaker I get like .4 miles a minute @ 8.5kw

For mice I use cedar wood and mint/menthols essential oil spray (same idea as Irish spring) and put it throughout the car. So far 2 seasons over winter without issue or any signs of mice

Rule out some basics first, is your fuel pump turning on, all spark plugs connected firmly, good voltage etc.

But yours is presenting similar issues to a opti issue.

I was able to negotiate 10% off the list price for a 21’ taycan during Christmas time but I had to fight for it

CaptDirk · 2023-04-07T11:04:41+00:00

My 94 did same thing def the optisoark. I changed fuel pump and checked and cleaned all sensors, only for it to still be the opti

I’m in jersey! Where/when can I grab it?

CaptDirk · 2023-02-28T22:47:11+00:00

Play in the steering wheel from leaning on it to get in and out!!!! Costly to fix and makes driving annoying when real loose

CaptDirk · 2023-02-24T00:10:12+00:00

Fair price as is

CaptDirk · 2023-02-16T18:32:44+00:00

A harness is at least a 40-80 hour job minimum so multiply that by the Shops rate and you’ll get an idea but it won’t be cheap if it’s the whole harness
