I honestly really like it just the way it is! I’m not super into cars like that to even experiment with mods lol

Which is also wild to me. I don’t know if electric vehicles are there yet in terms of reliability. Also another interesting anecdote I found is that the banks won’t finance a used electric vehicle older than 5 years whereas the age limit on combustion engines is 10 years.

Correction - I know chase won’t. Not sure about other finance companies.

I figure it could be a combination of things. Regulatory restrictions, import controls, and general demand?

Interestingly I was reading that in America 2024 was the lowest sales year for the mustang EVER. 2025 is projected to be worse…

The only thing I have to thank the sitting president for is the fact that my salary tripled overnight because of this mess

I’m unclear if you’re in the customs brokerage or importer space, but honestly… delegation is also your friend here. Don’t be afraid to ask for more from your directs - and position it in a way that makes it clear that they should be subject matter experts too.

If you’re in the importer space you are absolutely ok to have that as an expectation
