Nice, I need to make a whole in my rear swing gate, so i can extend my feet, I have a 2 door, ;)

Hi, any updates?

Yes, this happened to me when i was parking as I normally do in my driveway, without any stress to the steering whatsoever. Hope it goes away... and its just a glitch... This software heavy cars make me so suspicious, it´s like i can see them gremlings screwing up the cars remotely ...

Surprise-Surprise. A secret not so secret. Secret Ford project dubbed "Skunk Works". It is not for an EV Bronco, but for an EV Truck, priced at $30,000. Maybe the platform for others, I guess. So yeah, the EV error has been reconsidered all this time... At the end of the day this innovations...

Well yes, and then the fact that 95% of Bronco owners do not ever see a dirt trail. That is a reality and so there is that market. I used to hit the trail years ago, but I don´t do it anymore. I had a 95 D90 that I bought for $45k with 5,000 mi on it and put thousands of dollars more into...

I agree. And then there is the wear and tear, maintenance side of it. If they perfect these, there is no competition. I think that what will kill the cars is the driverless option though and that is sad. At that point, we may as well fly a drone, no Suv can offroad like one. In the meantime I do...

That has happened to me for years, and then messing up with the roof. But i am almost to the point that it makes a lot of sense, because of the cost of electricity and heating. My plan is to leave my gas boiler in place to use it to heat up the house up to 60-62 degrees and then use split...

Thanks. Very informative. I would expect weight to eat up on the efficiency factor. The Scout has that gas extender which gives him a good edge, but at 6,000 lbs is also a liability.

Sure, money is a limitation of course. But it is also a motivator. I am familiar with some regions where the government does not reach and the cheaper option for people is this. In some cities you could see them buying smallish electric cars much more than gas, just because of the cost of fuel...

My point is that solar pannel technology will spread much faster in developing countries than the old style wired grid, which has some obvious drawbacks. And with that comes rechargeable batteries, like the Tesla home modules that you can connect in series, and use to charge your lawn mover or...

Exactly. I mean, some times i feel like all these car companies take us for a ride. I just installed the procal upgrade on my Bronco, and yes, it looks like I have more power and better fuel (premium) efficiency. But why the heck don´t they offer that as a factory option and why the heck the...

I respect that. My last V8 was a Shelby 2013. Had to give it up because of the quality of the roads where I live, and no, i am not moving closer to the Autobahn anytime.

Fireworks, for sure, but then again, you have folks running cars with natural gas cylinders in the trunk. And you have stock Suzuki Jimnys (sure, gas 1.5 L) that are better of road that some bigger stock SUVs. My 2.3 Badlands is equipped with underbelly heavy armor, as a factory option, I wonder...

Got you. And I do believe in Adventure, so long life to it. If we really wanted to go to the core of it, and yes that is a whole'nother conversations, what is the value of buying and owning a vehicle, gas or electric, with their current quality and durability and guarantees offered? I mean, I...

Disagree, in South America specially. There are regions where you cannot find a gas station for days and they have to bring the gas by boat. Yet you find little houses with solar panels, and satellite internet. I saw it in the Amazon myself. There were no roads, but there was electricity, and...

All points valid up to a point, no pun intended. However, 95% of Bronco buyers, never see the dirt, the average distance people drive a day is 37 miles, and the last time I drove 1200 miles in 4 days I was 27, had lot more hair and much more bladder stamina. I did not do the Rubicon, I did...

No way you guys I'm gonna wait for the nuclear option. We already have Teleportation or Clean coal. Look, I just placed an order for my new Bronco, hot , ain´t it? :crackup:

Lol, here is another fake video:

Not really. These prototypes work without any employees, and they are supposed to do the job in 140 secs. They have other issues though: the cars have to be designed for that purpose. Look at the video in the start of the thread. The guy that posted it is pretty good, tells you the pros and...

yes, very cool indeed, lol. At the end of the day, if all these things are gong to drive themselves, what fun they will be? We may as well just get the App for it.
