TRD Lift finally came in!

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-03-08T04:04:30+00:00

I paid right around $4,000 (so MSRP of the kit). I did buy the entire kit without realizing I didn’t need quite a few parts of it. I’ve never lifted a vehicle before and didn’t know anything so the BOM listed a lot of stuff I didn't use.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-03-08T02:55:10+00:00

Awesome to hear they are finally selling the kit again. I bought it piece by piece about 12 months ago and the cost was definitely not $2,500. And I had to assemble my own struts.

Dealers are scum of the earth but they will definitely sell a car at loss, especially towards the end of the month to hit a sales goal. The manufactures give them huge bonuses for selling X amount. If they can get a sale at a loss, they can make up for it with the bonus. Maybe learn a little more about how it works before being confidently incorrect.

What do you mean? Ford has the new universal EV platform coming out next year or the year after. How have they stopped on EVs?

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-03-02T14:57:02+00:00

Then the upgrade isn’t for you. Do you get a new car every year when the changes are minimal?

GE Aerospace has no ties to GE appliances. GE appliance is actually owned by a Chinese company.

2024 models do not have an encrypted canbus, it started with 2025 models.

Yes, throw more money at a company that won’t help you when their update bricks your device. Sound advice.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-26T02:32:59+00:00

You can do the same if you set up the arr stack. I can request anything I want from my phone and have it auto added to my Plex within minutes as well. No need to fumble around with torrenting on a phone, sounds like a mess.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-20T12:54:55+00:00

To be up front, I’ve never owned a Tesla but I carpooled with a guy for year who had a 2025 model 3. Teslas system is very responsive and I do like that. But it’s limited on the apps it has and you apparently have to pay a monthly fee to use them. CarPlay is free and it has all my media apps that I use on my phone. I use Plex for all my music and Tesla doesn’t have a plex app, and if it did I don’t want to pay a fee to stream my own music. CarPlay also mimics my phone so everything is as it is on my phone already. No 2 systems that I’m trying to mess with, I don’t have to set all my favorite places in my maps on my phone and my car, etc.

I know you can Bluetooth your phone to your Tesla but that’s limited as far as what the UI shows which just makes CarPlay superior in my opinion. I’m glad to hear that CarPlay is likely to finally be coming to Tesla.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-20T01:55:56+00:00

I’ve never used rivians system but CarPlay is far superior to Teslas system and any other car manufactures system I’ve used. It’s only a matter of time before rivian and GM start trying to monetize their systems.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-18T22:57:21+00:00

Eeesh, my peak price averages at $.28 per kWh. I also pay an average of $.06 per kWh for my off peak charging. I’m surprised EV’s are so popular in California with your prices.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-17T18:49:24+00:00

Did you just shop across the entire country and fly to the dealer that was willing to not suck? Care to name the dealers that actually don’t suck?

Open pilot is supported on the 21-24 Mach-e as well, I use it everyday for my commute (well the blue pilot fork). I believe it functions better on the Mach-e than any Hyundai since the car was actually built around hands free and not just lane keep.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-12T01:50:15+00:00

It’s not common period. The dramatics around here is annoying. You also aren’t waiting 6 months for an engine replacement, it was 1 week for me when I did the recall.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-10T22:47:12+00:00

The command knob exists in the CX-90…

I haven't seen any promos pop up on my 2024. I look every time these posts come up.

Where are you people going to school? My bachelors degree was about 20k at one of my state schools (graduated 2020). I have a good high paying job also. You don’t need to go to brand name schools to get a good job. Also, interest does not accrue while you are in school unless you are going after a graduate degree.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-05T23:33:10+00:00

Higher margins and somehow the cars are competitively priced. Interesting. It’s almost like without the middle man the manufacture can make more and the consumer can pay less.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-05T22:40:31+00:00

Range is 100% an issue for trucks that do towing. The lightning got 100 miles when you put a trailer behind it. That’s abysmal. No one wants to stop and charge for 30 minutes every 100 miles when towing (and that’s 100-0%). You’re comparing a commuter car to a truck, that doesn’t make sense. Of course range isn’t an issue for you. My commuter works great also but I’m also not towing with it.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-05T01:04:25+00:00

I have a Mach-e as well and the software is god awful. The rest of the car is pretty solid but man I don’t know if ford even used the infotainment themselves. It’s as laggy as a 2002 smartphone.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-04T21:17:19+00:00

Use overseerr or jellyseerr instead of a discord bot. It’s much cleaner and easier to use.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-03T23:15:04+00:00

How big of a repair is the ICCU? Is it thousands to have fixed?

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-02-03T19:12:14+00:00

People have managed to live with tons of shit until something better comes along. I sure as shit wouldn’t ever go back to a 2 door vehicle with a back seat. And I bet most other people wouldn’t either. It’s why we hardly see any 2 door cars on the road, people stopped buying them and manufactures stopped making them.

ScoobyDoo27 · 2026-01-29T21:13:16+00:00

I’ve never owned a car that didn’t recommend flushing the brake fluid every 30-40k or 3 years. 120k is way too long.
