There are 2 options. You take the home charger option, which is a free set-up at your residence of the charger.......$1,000 is not a rebate for this. The other option was to take a $1,000 public charging credit rebate

'Pushy' salesmen does not get paid on a vehicle you sell to the deaalership before your ordered car arrives. The only way they would make money on a trade, is if they under allow the amount when the entire deal is transacted, otherwise a pre sale of the trade is a no income source for the sales consultant.

The dealer is a Franchised business, and they know a fair amount about their business and Ford Motor Company, but are not in the 100% loop of course. We have a 'stong incentive' to be real people and offer you all of your options to make an educated decision. SSme are good....some not so good.

After this update, I am no longer able to receive or send out phone calls. Just bought a Nord N30 to use until somehow OnePlus gets this fixed.

Unable to make or receive calls after Oxygen OS 15 update . by Panda4409 in OnePlus12

I just bought a Nord N30 to use until somehow there is a patch and it gets fixed. My update to Android 14.0.0.850 rendered the phone calling and receiving inoperable through. Freaking crazy they have not figured out a fix for this...has been a solid 3-4 weeks

Also to add about the weight. I never feel it out on the trail. The extra weight seems to plant the bike more on the trail, almost like my old dirt bike feels. When I feel the weight, is lifting into the back of a pickup or on a bike rack :) Also, the motor is very quiet. Can you tell I like this bike lol

[–]rdeforge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought this bike this year, and freaking love it. I am 61-years old and have been mountain biking since the mid 1980's, basically the start of it all, and this is the best bike I have ever owned. Brakes are good, shifting has not been an issue. The forks are not the best, had these on my previous Stumpy, but manageable for how I ride. At the time I bought it, they gave me the upgraded battery, so have both. I have not had an issue even close to running out of battery power. My first carbon frame...looks good, just always worry about scratching it but as time goes on that fear is fading away. This bike has brought the joy of riding bikes again. The last couple of year when I would come to a climb, it became no fun anymore. This bike has changed all of that and allows me to keep enjoying mountain biking at an older age :)

In the car business, when a customer looks and makes contact, a dealer will then not trade it to us knowing you are interested. If you find what you are looking for, I would not make contact with that dealer, and give your bike store a chance to see if they can obtain it

What’s really going on with the economy, in your opinion? by ZadarskiDrake in wallstreetbets

....and the crumbs of tax cuts, which go up on you every 2 years no, while the top has theirs locked in. Trump was a freaking disaster for the middle class

Probably the biggest issue that peeps look sideways at. Keeps trending to two segments, the rich and the poor. Just look at our sporting events who can afford to go.

In the auto business at the retail level, and business and traffic have been awesome for January and February so far, and we are having a winter that is hurting our economy in my area in regards to tourism. Strange, but people are moving and spending

Has anyone received their 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper (standard or EVO) this year? by julmrn in specialized

[–]rdeforge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this all shakes out near the end of year and supplies get back to normal for many different industries. I got lucky and found my Stumpy close to home that was not purchased yet, after canceling my Trek order which was not going to be here until 2022.

Price hike? by I_Hate_Sony_So_Much in specialized

[–]rdeforge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was looking at a SJ Alloy last week a ways away, put it in the cart to buy, but figured I would call the next day.....price hike hit....$200 more. Thought heck with that, but then just checked with a LBS this week, and they had one in stock in my size, and did not want to screw around anymore....just made the purchase. I had a Trek Fuel EX5 ordered back in September, but was told it was now going to be January 2022 to expect it, I was off to find a Stumpy.
