I drove the kids to school and ran a few errands earlier today in my PHEV in EV mode. Then later on I wanted to row some gears so I took the 4 banger for a drive to take my daughter to ballet 🩰 practice and also to give the car a test drive for the upcoming track day.

Best of both worlds😏

I know. That's why I had the emoji 😀

That's how I had to do my first update for my Ioniq 5. It took 3 or 4 hours. I had to leave the ignition on and leave the car it took so long 😳

Man, the Mustang Mach E has tanked in value. Several low mileage used ones around here under $25k.

I don't approve, if Tesla has been doing it for 12 years there isn't any excuse.

A friend of mine has one, he got it back in 2022 when they were in demand (lease), and he doesn't think it's a very good car. He tried to sell it last year, but because of price drops, he was going to lose a lot of money so held on to it. Although I personally never drove one, I have no desire to own one, even at that low price.

Lightning on the other hand, I could see myself owning. I drove one, and it's awesome

There is one a few blocks from me the only one I've seen so far. It looks very nice.

I've seen several here, as I've already mentioned, I drove @swajames Lightning, Ford did an excellent job. Comfortable, stylish interior, nice suspension setup, and smooth power that doesn't seem to end. The Mach E on the other hand looks cheap to me

That’s a 2021. I have a 2023 XSE premium with the updated multimedia screen.

And it probably depends on what they tried also, and how good the overall experience was. I expect a lot more Leaf owners went back to an ICE as opposed to say, Polestar owners.
