I agree that S550's need something more like a 265 -- I think 255 in front is okay -- but I don't know why any of them are out with 235's -- probably cost and the assumption that most will change them -- I bought a 2022 base wrx with them to daily -- they're great on a smaller, lighter car -...

Thanks for your input - I think I’ll be sticking with a 255 front to minimize tram-lining. just to be clear: The 295/35 and 305/35 setups — I think the only thing in stock is a 10” ET40 - I have to check the 11” options. Supply chain issues really stink right now - there’s just nothing out...

Greetings -- six months ago today my car was hit while parked and -- among other things -- one wheel was destroyed -- can't get them anymore, and my insurance company is giving me the runaround in terms of doing a whole set -- I'm in the DMV and the dealership (Ford tech) was unable to put the...

I'm down to one fob too -- FRPP tune -- I don't quite understand why you need two fobs to program a third -- why is that -- but what's my best way back to having a second fob?

The thing I find most comforting about this: Those gas stations are all on the grid, and can be outfitted with charging stations at some point.

I'm glad it worked out for you -- would have been a massive pain to have run out then...

That's good information -- I'm not going to push my luck...

Exactly. I'm pretty sure the Mustang has a 16 gallon tank -- seems to be the case, though I can't remember exactly. When I'm running low, It will take around 14 gallons. I average around 18mpg -- mostly highway. I like to play.

In WV, you might be a meth head if on a bike lol -- I try to take my bike to the metro when the weather is good -- fold it up, and take it on the Metro to the central business district in D.C. I mostly drive my Mustang on the weekend -- I also love my chocolate chip cookies -- but I don't eat...

Did you watch the whole thing? That's really not what I took away from it.

You can go 400 miles in your Mustang? Ecoboost? There's no friggin' way my GT will do more than around 340 before running bone dry!

Ha ha! Okay -- well, my father was an avid train fanatic -- he was for his entire life -- he was in the train club at Purdue University when he was finishing his masters degree there, and made a life-long friendship with a man named Jack Hawkins - principle of Hawkins Rail Services in Lafayette...

My main point is that after being in a car for a couple hundred miles, I like to get out and walk around some anyway, and as the Engineering Explained YouTube video I've shared suggests, you can charge up an EV's lower portion of battery in about as much time as I'd stop for lunch or dinner...

Here's some additional food for thought -- not specific to Mustangs -- just some analysis of EV's in general:

That's all fair -- but you don't need to top all the way off to get over 300 miles, and charge rates are not linear throughout a battery's capacity. Three months after I got my GT, I drove from Maryland to Indiana with my daughter and a trunk full of paper boxes full of brass HO-scale...

Okay -- this is not specifically about Mustang -- but it's relevant to the EV component of this thread -- and the tech is improving:

The links you’ve provided are great - thanks!

Not sure I made a comparison - I’m illustrating that there are many ways to generate electricity, that it’s ubiquitous - in my experience, they even have electricity in Texas... I’m not sure about the relevance of your overlay - it seems like what Germany is doing might work better in Texas...

You reckon that’s due to cheap Chinese labor? I expect all of these things can and will change some. Tesla is rumored to be coming out with a “million mile” battery within a couple of years. I’d like to see some studies on the projected impact of electrification - thankfully there are so many...

Places like Germany and Australia are doing pretty darned well with renewable energy - and it’s still in its infancy.
